Fearless Freddie Roach had many attributes when he was a pro boxer but defense wasn?t one of them. Before he was Coach Roach, he was all offense all the time.
In that sense, Roach and Manny Pacquaio are a perfect boxing marriage. Pacman believes the best defense is a good offense as well. So wise bettors and Pacman fanatics in general may want to note that Roach told our intrepid report John Chavez (see video link below) minutes ago in a Mandalay Bay lobby interview that Megamanny will pounce on Marco Antonio Barrera early.
?I love this fight,? a smiling Roach told Chavez. ?Last time they fought, Manny?s weight was 126 on the scale and 128 in the ring. This time, he?ll be 130 and then 142-144 when the bell sounds. This Manny is bigger, faster, stronger than the Manny who stopped MAB in 11 rounds.?
