Last week Roach said the Mayweather style was giving Manny a little trouble in sparring , this week hes saying if Floyd has good movement they might loose . Why is he putting doubt in his fighters head . Shouldnt he be displaying ultimate confidence .
EIGHT division world champion and the pride of the Philippines Manny Pacquiao sparred twelve rounds on Saturday and looked better than ever.Working on a game plan to attack early and relentlessly and to push undefeated pound for pound No.1 Floyd Mayweather Jr. into the ropes, Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach said “the fight will be won and lost on the ropes.”Pushing his theory that Mayweather’s legs are shot, which was given added credence by a report from Matthew Fellows of the Daily Telegraph that Mayweather’s people were worried because he was supposedly having trouble with his hands as well as his legs.Roach told Oliver **** of the Daily Mail “if he goes to the ropes and tries to rest his legs, he will get beat.”However, Roach conceded that if Mayweather “has good movement the entire night and his legs don’t give out on him. He’ll probably win.”Simply put it’s about outscoring Mayweather and Roach believes “if he sits on the ropes we can outscore him. If he stays in the middle of the ring and boxes all the time he could possibly outscore us.”Pacquiao resumed his sparring this week after a one week layoff ordered by Roach, to prevent Pacquiao from being over-trained. Roach said Pacquiao is in the best shape of his life, “moving faster and punching harder than ever before.” Dyan Castillejo of ABS-CBN reported that Pacquiao sparred twelve rounds yesterday and later told her that Roach was “very happy” with his performance. She added that “he had very good, explosive movement from rounds 1 to 12.”The parade of Hollywood superstars who visit Pacquiao continued on Saturday when “Rocky,” popular Sylvester Stallone visited him at the Wild Card Gym.Mayweather Promotions CEO and Floyd’s spokesman Leonard Ellerbe was quoted in a Boxing Scene story that he “expects to see a knockout . Floyd will seize the opportunity and finish him (Pacquiao) off.” Ellerbe clarified that “a lot will play out from the way the fighters come out from the opening bell” predicting that Mayweather “will be able to come out and dictate the pace, based on Pacquiao’s style.” He conceded “it’s no secret that Manny is a very aggressive and exciting fighter but he makes a lot of mistakes that Floyd will be able to exploit from the opening bell.”Ellerbe agreed that Pacquiao is “a fighter that has great speed and is very awkward. He has a tremendous trainer and they’ll come out with a great game-plan but I know it won’t be enough after what Floyd is bringing to the table.”
