Freddie Roach Good Quotations

One of (Juan's) friends told me that he thought he made a mistake and wanted to come back. I told him all he had to do was pick up the phone and ask me, and that's all it took. I don't hold grudges at all. It's a good working relationship, which is what you need to have success.

Gabi is in great shape for the fight. He trained really hard. We had great sparring and we got some big punchers because we know Vic is a very big puncher and a very good champion, and a big favorite going into the fight.

He (Williams) does have pretty good power, ... I expect Williams to be at his best because this is the biggest fight in the world for him.

We had too many distractions going into the Morales fight. Now a lot of the bad people are away from the scene and we have a good team, now.

We know Morales can take a punch, because Manny is a puncher and Morales took a lot of Manny's good stuff.

The one fight (in between) is good for us. Right after this fight, we'll take a week off and then go into Morales mode.

Z has the potential to be a world champion. He's a very good prospect. He's a solid boxer, but he's not a huge puncher. He's probably a better boxer than Manny and he has good fundamentals, but Manny just has such power and speed. But Z is quick and technically very sound.

It's good because it gets him back in the gym, back into the mode of training for a big fight. ... Get him out of the pool hall a little bit.
