“Manny knows,” as the Nike saying goes, and according to Freddie Roach he knows when he wants to work out and when he does not. In this clip the hall of fame trainer admits that Manny Pacquiao never listens to his strength and conditioning trainers (including Alex Ariza) and that the fighter did not do the plyometric exercises that he was suppose to do in his preparation for Timothy Bradley. Not that it took anything away from Pacquaio’s performance a few months back as we all thought Pacquiao won the bout 8 to 5 (that was us being generous).
Roach also speaks on how he gives his fighters breaks, reveals that Ariza is a new father and some tips on how he keeps his fighters from becoming bored with training!
