Interviewing the boxing machine Pacquiao's coach F. Roch
The Wild Card Boxing Club, run by the Filipino Boxer’s respected trainer Freddie Roach, is regularly open for fans hoping to catch a preview of the master honing his craft. Now though, with a $300million prize on the line, nothing is being left to chance.
Roach told the press that he was adamant about the guards having guns so that “people respect them” but the trainer himself will not be there to look after Manny until a few days later.
The expert trainer is currently in Macau preparing for Zou Shimming’s first world title fight before returning to Los Angeles where Pacquiao will spar 90 to 95 rounds instead of the usual 150.
They will both make the short trip downtown on Wednesday where they will be met by Mayweather for the only face-to-face meeting before fight week in Las Vegas.
And Roach also wasted no time in taking a swipe at Mayweather’s father and trainer Floyd Snr.
‘Going against Floyd Snr is a little disappointing,’ Roach said. ‘He just isn’t very good, especially during the fight itself. One of our advantages is having him in the other corner.’
Roach also underlined his complete confidence in Pacquiao ending Mayweather’s unbeaten record.
‘Floyd is so disrespectful,’ he said. ‘Manny is the perfect role model for this fight and Mayweather is not. I told Manny we’ve got to beat him for the whole world. There’s no way we can’t win this fight.
‘Floyd’s legs don’t move like they once did. He’s very clever but the fight is so big he may feel like he has to take a risk and exchange with us.
‘If he does that, that’s the best thing in the world for Manny in my mind.
‘Manny will be performing a public service for boxing when he beats Floyd.’
Pacquiao has been training in Roach’s absence and posted several videos on Instagram of his shadow boxing sessions.
And in spite of showing off his blistering hand speed, he wrote: ‘I feel slow but I’m not worried because I still have a lot of time.’
Don’t forget to tune into the fight when you’re watching the fight from your local pub. And remember to give the boxing machine a try if you want to feel what it’s like to stand in the ring and go toe to toe with a boxer, and how tough they can be.
