What did he mumble? After this video I have zero respect for this guy. Its funny that all his big stars are steroid users as well. “He is a good street fighter?” lol. this guy should stick to holding mitts for guys who are already stars.
haha you’re the same idiot who thinks diaz is a better athlete than gsp … do us all a favor and refrain from breathing. by the way, “refrain” means to stop.
Freddy Roach has Parkinson’s Disease.He is still a proactive human that works hard and continues to help others.
I agree. But calling diaz a good street fighter is ridiculous.
A street fighter than can street slap you out and choke you to death all while running a triathlon!!
Damn, we got some ignorant people who post here. Freddie Roach doesn’t care if YOU respect him or not! He’ll continue to coach successful fighters and live his dream while you guys continue your pathetic lives. Tough guy Mama thinks he’s clever and snickering while he posts!
You’re retarded. The sooner you realize that, the better chance you have of turning your life around.
Lighten up Mama. I wasn’t trying to disparage Roach at all. Of course he is right about Diaz. He is a master at training that art of boxing. Diaz has taken his skills to the pinnacle of this sport. I Love you Mama, but Lighten Up. Oh yah, people who live in a glass house should be careful about throwing stones. If you couldn’t tell, I am being serious here and not snickering.
Sorry, son, comments not aimed at you! Haha..BTW, you coming home for Easter??? We serving up ham again! lol.
LOL,Oh Yah, you know how to get me home. I’ll be there!!
How is Freddie roach training GSP when he’s working with shogun rua and all those actual boxers male and female he has. From what I see GSP can’t really box either he has a jab that’s about the only thing he does technically correct his hooks are loopy with his elbows not in line with his arm he doesn’t have an uppercut and his superman punch is more for closing distance. If you go through most mma fighters “technique” you’ll find as many flaws as a boxer has with takedowns. You can’t box in mma like you can in boxing there’s too many variables eg leg kicks, takedowns etc
Very true, I think Freddie just told GSP to utilize a very stiff jab and thats probably all he taught GSP. Although that is a handy weapon to have, a solid left jab as MMA boxing really is worse than amateur boxing (in 95% of the fighters).
I cant ****n fathumn how damn stupid these cocksuckers are on here. You dont know shit about boxing nor do you know shit about mma. & for freddie roach he would whip any of you mother ****ers with a whore suckn his dick n one arm tied behind his back. Have mother****en respect you weak mother****ers
I may not be a professional fighter but I know how to punch more than this “thumbs up for speed thumbs over for authority” crap and really I respect roach as a trainer he’s one of the worlds finest I never said anything about roach moron it was directed at GSP learn to read and how is a 60 something year old man with Parkinson’s with one arm tied gonna beat a 20 odd year old male who trains aswell (not with anyone special) you should use your brain more as for you James Te Huna I’d just be worried about Glover cos you’ve bitten of more than you can chew there
i agree TR ^^ . bunch of retards on here
Nick or Nate Diaz are decent fighters.so so boxers.Freddie has worked with the best in boxing so I respect his insight and call.Nick is tough,but hes not winning this one..If he does Hendricks is gonna sleep his ass..Hendricks should be the one facing GSP.
