据ESPN昨天报道,曼尼·帕奎奥和弗雷迪·罗奇在17年的合作后,现在正式分道扬镳。
帕奎奥的加拿大籍经纪人迈克·康茨宣布了离开罗奇,由费尔南德斯担任首席教练的决定,他告诉丹·拉斐尔,“这是曼尼的决定”。
康茨说;“曼尼告诉我,费尔南德斯将会处理这场战斗的训练事宜,现在最重要的是,曼尼需要有一个他信任的声音在角落里倾听,我猜这就是费尔南德斯加入这场战斗的原因。”
罗奇于2001年中期开始训练帕奎奥,他们首次亮相是在拉斯维加斯的米高梅大饭店。去年7月,在澳大利亚布里斯班,58岁的罗奇最后一次在帕奎奥的角落里,以争议的点数败给杰夫.霍恩。
Pacquiao, Roach part ways
By NICK GIONGCO
Manny Pacquiao and Freddie Roach are parting ways after a 17-year union, ESPN reported yesterday.
The decision to leave Roach and reinstate Buboy Fernandez as lead trainer was announced by Pacquiao’s Canadian agent Mike Koncz, who told Dan Rafael about “Manny’s decision.”
Pacquiao is scheduled to face Lucas Matthysse for the Argentine’s World Boxing Association welterweight crown in Malaysia on July 15.
“Manny has told me that Buboy will be handling the training on this fight,” said Koncz. “What’s important to Manny is that he has one voice to listen to in the corner that he trusts, and I guess that’s Buboy for this fight.”
Roach began training Pacquiao in mid-2001 and they made their debut together at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas where the then-unknown Filipino lefty knocked out Lehlo Ledwaba to win the International Boxing Federation super-bantam title.
Last time the 58-year-old Roach worked the corner was in July last year in Brisbane, Australia, where Pacquiao dropped a disputable decision to Jeff Horn.
During their teamup, Pacquiao and Roach scored their greatest hits with wins over Oscar De La Hoya, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton and Antonio Margarito. |
