Celebrated trainer Freddie Roach says he would never be too busy to prevent him from finding time to train WBO Oriental bantamweight champion Michael Domingo for a world title fight.
In an overseas telephone conversation with www.insidesports.ph, Manila Standard and Viva Sports, Roach said ?I like Michael Domingo. He is the best prospect out there right now.?
Roach said he would gladly train Domingo for a world title fight saying that in his opinion the WBO Oriental bantamweight champion was ?the best ALA fighter out there. He is the one I wanted.?
Roach said that more than anything else he is ?a really nice boy.?
Domingo who is coming off an impressive 9th round stoppage of former world champion Ratanachai Sor Vorapin is being lined up by young Michael Aldeguer for a stint in the US and a possible world title fight later on.
At the same time Roach said that North American Boxing Federation and world rated super bantamweight champion Bernabe Concepcion (26-1-1, 15 KO?s) who fights Giovanni Caro (11-4-4, 9 KO?s) in an MP Promotions fight card at the Sycuan Resort and Casino in El Cajon, California on September 25 sparred ten rounds today and ?is doing fine.?
He also said that lightweight Dennis Laurente (29-3-5, 15 KO?s) who clashes with Arturo Urena (20-15-1, 16 KO?s) on the same card was also doing fine but that the fight of Aaron Melgerejo who at times served as sparring partner of Filipino ring idol Manny Pacquiao was down with the flu and had to be taken off the card.
