Red shorts, 3 round KO....... he's just hyping the fight and attempting to syche Hatton out and give Manny an edge, right?"You know how Manny usually wears white shorts. I already told Manny to wear red shorts that night. There’s going to be a lot of blood, and it won’t be from Manny," said the WildCard Boxing Club boss, who had predicted a 3-round KO for his prized ward."
Roach usually does a good job of talking up Pacquio before his fights and he's known for playing his part in these big promotions. We know he's not shy about airing his views but he's really went to town this time around. I have a huge amount of respect for Roach and when he talks about any boxer i listen. Its normal for fighters and their camps to try and psyche the other out, blabbering on about how easy the victory will be etc and i know Roach is not shy when it comes to this part of the game. But its not normal for him to predict such an easy, quick victory. This time around something tells me that he has belief in what he's saying, that he really believes Pacquio can and will do a number on the Hitman.
What do others make of Roach's bold predictions for this fight. Is he just having a laugh or does he really see an easy night for Pacquio? And could you give a monkey's either way
...doesn't mean to say he hasn't been talking every bit as much trash talk shit as Floyd Snr does.
