Manny's Filipino audience loves to watch him, but I wanted it to be more private so we could better work on going to the body and the other things we need to work on. Velazquez is somebody we definitely can't take lightly. Everybody's talking about Morales and the rematch, but there won't be a rematch without winning this fight. We've been working on a little bit of everything to make Manny more of a complete fighter.
More Quotes from Freddie Roach:
It was a tactical fight and they were our tactics. The fight went the way we wanted it to go even though we didn't get the decision.Freddie Roach
Manny relied too much on connecting with that left hand of his (Pacquiao). He wanted a homerun.
Freddie Roach
(Marco Antonio) Barrera had beaten Morales, and Manny had beaten Barrera, and I just think Manny took him lightly, believing he was on the downside. But we miscalculated. We won't do that this time. Morales will still have the reach and height advantage, but Manny will have speed going for him. And he knows he has to win this fight.
Freddie Roach
Erik has a propensity to hold his hands way up. That leaves his body wide open. We saw that, and we broke him down.
Freddie Roach
When we did make it public that we were not letting anyone watch any longer, the Filipino fans stopped coming. They respected the decision and knew it was for Manny's benefit. They helped us out and we respect that.
Freddie Roach
