Pacquiao beats up on Roach during training

By Eric Thomas: World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao pummeled his trainer Freddie Roach during a recent sparring session while the 50-year-old Roach wore body armor and hand mitts to block the shots of Pacquiao. According to Abc- Cbn News, some of the shots that Pacquiao threw grazed the chin of Roach. Pacquiao apologized for hitting Roach, saying “Sorry, Coach, sorry.”

Roach, who is putting Pacquiao through his last days of training before he meets former IBF welterweight champion Joshua Clottey on March 13th at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium, says “He [Pacquiao] hurts me and knocks the wind off me sometimes” Roach doesn’t mind getting his feet wet and doing the tough task of absorbing Pacquiao’s heavy shots while wearing the body armor. However, in the future as Roach ages more, he might want to consider getting someone else to do this task. By then, however, Pacquiao will be long gone and retired from boxing.

Roach wants Pacquiao to attack Clottey’s body, telling Pacquiao during a recent sparring session” Kill the body.” Obviously, this is being done in response to the fact that Clottey puts much of his energy into covering up his head in his fights. Miguel Cotto exposed how vulnerable Clottey is when you attack his body in his fight with Clottey last year in June. In the later rounds, Cotto attacked Clottey to the body while he had his back against the ropes, and found a great deal of success while working his body.

    the pacman beating up roach is similar to floyd’s beating up oold fighters like marquez & mosley — similar in the sense that he can’t knock them out!

    all you idiots right above me are just that “MORONS”. no clue whatsoever waht you’e talkin about. Accusing Pacman of using illegal substance just coz the Maywetters said so, it must be true then huh? You goona take the words of the Maywetters-family of drug users annd convicts? People get real and use you coconuts. Pacmand has never ever tested positive for illegal substance since he started fighting in Vegas. They have the most stringent -strictest policy regarding use of illegal substance.

    What’s new? He beats up washed up fighters and recently beat boxers and he’s on ped’s. In fact mayweather should have been the first real contender, true welter weight, not washed up, or just recently came out of defeat. But! Mayweather just to CHIKEN to fight this wife cheater and all knowing coach beate. NOT! Pacquiao is my IDOL!!! you go boy!

    training for cotto fight,while hitting the mitts at wild card,pac in the middle one of a session he punch one mitt of roach hand its went flying,
    and watch pac punching the 100 lb heavy bag utube, he doesn’t hold back ,he hold the bag up,in a angle with combination punches, and he step into and hard punch a returning swing bag senting it flying back.try that,and you will break your arm.
    then ive seen floyd do the heavy bag ha,ha, the bag doesnt move much.I couldn’t stop laughing when he does the continuous kangaroo uppercuts.

  • Kid Boxing says:

    @Zex

    Yes Cotto is old, Hatton and ODLH are retired.. when did that happen? Right! when Manny Pacquiao beat the hell out of them! what a retard!

  • ZADA says:

    what surprise .pac could think then roach was his real opponent, him is used to fight old people

  • zex says:

    Thats pac’s favourite kind of opponent, he likes to beat up old people and retired boxers, no news here.

  • Mike says:

    I hope Clottey has been working on improving his work rate and staying off the ropes so much.If he has we could be in for a great fight!

  • Free one says:

    Can’t wait no more… Wanna c a slang n bang action… Pacquioa/clottey at thier best….

  • lex_fugitive says:

    Roach needs several other coaches to help him out already, so it is kinda surprising he takes the shots. Gotta respect Roach, even though he runs his mouth, trash-talking and putting down all Manny’s opponents. Of course he is right when he points out the often obvious weaknesses of Manny foes. Many believe thats why Manny fights them instead of the best at any given division.

  • asif says:

    Its scary how a 10 stone man can generate so much power lol

  • caro says:

    I hope Freddie retire in PI with Pacquaio

  • armthelandless says:

    i have nothing but respect for freddy roach. was a great action fighter in his day and still takes punishment training pacman. this should be a good fight, manny always comes to fight and clotty is solid. hopefully we will see pac mayweather soon.
