Freddie Roach wants KO win Freddie Roach wants a knockout, but he’ll settle for a dominant win by Manny Pacquiao Saturday night. The Hall of Fame trainer gave Pacquiao the thumbs-up sign as they closed training camp at the Wild Card Gym here for the long drive to Las Vegas. He let Pacquiao spar for four rounds with Kevins Hoskins, did the mitts with the eight-division world champion and wound up satisfied. “Good job,” Roach said as he patted Pacquiao at the back. “He’s been very good to me.” Roach later told Manila-based sportswriters: “He’s sharp. We have a good training camp, one of the best ever.” That’s why the five-time Trainer of the Year believes Pacquiao will be able to catch Bradley coming in and tally his first knockout win in his last five fights. But if Bradly chooses to run, Roach knows the fight could go longer—though not the full 12 rounds. “I don’t see it (12 rounds) happening right now, but if it does I’m not worried,” said Roach. “I expect Manny to win every round. As long as we put up a good fight and keep the pace up, I’ll be satisfied.” According to Roach, Bradley may be durable and tough, but is prone to make some mistakes expecially when he gets excited.

well i sat and watched the fight at hoops dome arena in lapu lapu city when he fought martinez i was surrounded by thousands of philippinos even most of them in the arena thought he.d lost the fight .if he fights like that again he won,t beat bradley i can assure you.apparently his matromonial problems were on his mind during that fight so if that issue has been resolved which manny claims he may well win again but he needs to be on top of his game to bead bradley.
i've watched pacquio vs bradley fight..and im very disappointed on the decision...bradley didn't desserve the title...
