ROACH TALKS TOUGH; PACQUIAO BACKS IT UP

Los Angeles Freddie Roach has earned a reputation as boxingÕs finest trainer. More than this, in recent years Roach has become a master of psychological gamesmanship. Roach has developed a knack for making just the right remark to get into the heads of his opposition before a fight, for playing those mind games — Òpushing the barriers, planting seeds,Ó as ringside color commentator John Lennon put it. ÒFreddie is an expert psychologist,Ó promoter Bob Arum said. ÒHe fires these shots hoping to get under the guyÕs skin, and he has an advantage because he was a competitive fighter himself. He had a long series ... Read Full Story

Pacquiao seeking title in record seventh division

Written by charge0519 on
Manny Pacquiao has a chance to win a major title in a record seventh weight class when he faces welterweight titleholder Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, or 41 percent of the 17 weight divisions. That probably doesn’t rival Henry Armstrong’s feat of holding the featherweight, lightweight and welterweight titles simultaneously but it certainly is remarkable. Pacquiao has won titles as a flyweight (1998), junior featherweight (2001), featherweight (2003, THE RING), junior lightweight (2008), lightweight (2008) and welterweight (2009, THE RING), which equals Oscar De La Hoya’s six-division record. And boxing historian Cliff Rold pointed out that Pacquiao ... Read Full Story

Written by webenthusiast on
From:   hissip.com
Oscar de la Hoya has many accomplishments to be proud of. Now, he has a high school in Boyle Heights, California named after him. And not just any high school…a charter high school. De la Hoya gave $1 million dollars to launch the school, which is the first secondary school in the Green Dot Public School District. The boxer gave an additional $3.5 million dollar donation by De La Hoya last year, and the 550 kids who will be attending this school no doubt appreciate Mr. De la Hoya’s generosity.
