MALAKI ang tiwala ni Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach na uupak si eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao ng knockout win laban kay WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas.
Sa interview ng ‘On the Ropes’ boxing radio sinabi ni Roach kahit kampeon si Vargas wala siya sa ka-lingkingan ni Pacquiao.
“I know he’s won a couple of world titles and so forth, but I’ve never seen him fight on TV. I forget his name quite a bit, so I don’t think he’s that well known. I don’t think he’s in Pacquiao’s class and I’ve watched tape on him and I do think we’re going to get our first knockout at 147lbs.,” pahayag ni Roach.
Kuwento pa ni Roach na masyadong agresibo sa ensayo si Pacquiao kaya naniniwala siyang pababagsakin ng kanyang bataan si Vargas.
Sapul nang ma-TKO ni Pacquiao si Miguel Cotto noong 2009, puro mga desisyon na ang panalo nito.
Samantala, nais pa rin ni Roach ang rematch ng Pambansang Kamao na si Pacqiuao kay Floyd Mayweather. ( ARABELA PRINCESS DAWA )
