Roach Hoping For Cotto Upset
MANILA, Philippines – Five-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach is hoping that Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto can pull off an upset when he faces undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 5 in Las Vegas.
Roach had hoped that Cotto would accept a rematch against his fighter, Filipino boxing icon Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, but Cotto instead chose to fight Mayweather.
“I don’t know how good their chances are, but I hope Cotto will win,” Roach said in an interview with Boxing Scene. “My best wishes to Miguel, and I hope that he has the best fight of his life.”
“Mayweather is a very good counterpuncher, but Miguel has a good coach in his corner and they seem to get along. Miguel and his coach have to figure out what to do,” he added.
