'DULJOMAN' INTERVIEWS FREDDIE ROACH By Anthony 'Duljoman' Andales PhilBoxing.com Thu, 04 Jan 2007 What follows here is the full transcript of Duljoman's interview with the highly-respected trainer Freddie Roach: Duljoman: When are you going to the Philippines for the Beer Commercial? Freddie Roach: I just got a phone that they moved it to a later date. Duljoman: As a whole, is it bad for Team Pacquiao to be promoted with Bob Arum's Top Rank taking into account your vocal criticism and dislike of Michael "Sleeping At The Floor Leech" Koncz? FR: Well, Manny is a grown-up man, he makes his own decision... Me, I'll stay as a trainer, that's my work... He decides to be promoted by Top Rank, so be it, I can?t do nothing about that... and that guy Koncz, he knows nothing about boxing, he visits my gym one time and I let him in, and he makes his way through to Manny, and the rest is history... I just don't like him talking Manny about boxing and about this promotional thing coz he knows nothing about boxing... I don?t know who he really is... Duljoman: Your chance of training Oscar dela Hoya? FR: There's no way I can train him... we talked several times, but it's just no way for me to train him... like I have no time at all... it's impossible, I have to give up almost everybody if I have to train him, coz I know I'm gonna be exclusive for him and I just can't do that... Duljoman: What if you will be offered more money to train Oscar? FR: I'm a very loyal person Duljoman, Manny inspires me a lot, and I love working with him... He brings life to my gym, and inspires everybody... money can't make me leave Manny. Duljoman: How about Valero winning in a very convincing fashion on his first defense? FR: Did he win?... Ahhh he's a good puncher, and I like Manny to fight him soon, good for the fans... it's gonna be a good one... Duljoman: Your thoughts about the World Cup in Cebu ? FR: I have two words for you Duljo Anthony, "VERY INTERESTING!!!"... Duljoman: How can you accommodate everybody (Boom2x, Geronimo Penalosa, etc...) if Manny fights in March at Macau ? FR: I dont think Manny will fight in March... Manny's next fight will be in April, that's what he wants... Duljoman: I quoted Floyd Mayweather Sr on Boxing Confidential he said "YOU CAN'T TEACH NOTHING, WHEN YOU DONT KNOW NOTHING"... this is about the possibilty of you training the Golden Boy... FR: Let him talk and we listen and then we?ll learn... Duljoman: Have you ever visited mannypacquiao.ph or the PacLand? FR: Whew! Honestly I dont have a computer Anthony... Thats why I thank you for giving me the news about Valero winning on the first round... but I heard about it, because those guys in the gym, they like Manny and I heard them talking about Manny's website. Duljoman: Lastly, who are your three all time boxing greats? FR: 1.Ruben Olivares, 2.Joe Louis and 3.Sugar Ray Leonard... Thanks to ?The Vintage? by the Dean of Vintage Shelby Cobras and Mustangs. And to my manoypacquiao.ph of PLDT? Kumbatea!!! Anthony Y. Andales Dassault Falcon Jet #2507 Click here to view a list of other articles written by Anthony 'Duljoman' Andales.  |
