Roach hoping to get Andre Berto as another of his ‘Super’ Sparring Partners
By Peter Wells: With Mayweather and Pacquiao getting ready to start training after the Christmas break, Freddie is already rolling in a load of ‘Super’ sparring partners.

By Manuel Perez: Philboxing is reporting that Freddie Roach is looking to get Timothy Bradley as one of Manny Pacquiao’s sparring partners to help prepare for the fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. I think Roach is starting to go overboard now with his ideas for Pacquiao.
