Freddie Roach hasn’t stopped talking since the fight was announced. He seems on edge as if his career will be defined by this fight (it won’t).
He has some concerns about who the ref will be per Boxing Scene.
Some of Pacquiao’s camp members are worried about Mayweather being allowed to excessively hold and/or use elbows.
“I know all the referees, I know all the good ones, I know the great ones. I think they all respect me and Manny enough to give us a fair fight,” Roach told Dyan Castillejo of ABS-CBN News. “That’s all I’m asking for. Whoever refs this fight, all I’m asking is please, give us a fair fight, and let the best man win, and I think they’ll do that. The Vegas judges, I think that this is such a big fight that they’re gonna call a fair fight. My biggest concern is the referee right now.”
He shouldn’t worry about something that is out of his control. The refs in Vegas are pretty fair, he should be worried about the judges. Everyone should be worried about the judges, that they get this fight correct if it goes the distance.
