Roach Ready to Unleash the M1P1 Virus on Cotto!
HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. (November 2, 2009) – Three-time Trainer of the Year World-Famous Freddie Roach issued a medical warning to World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Miguel Cotto, the pride of Puerto Rico, who will be defending his title against boxing’s No. 1 pound for pound fighter and box office attraction Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao. Roach, who is training Pacquiao at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, promised to go viral. “Manny is a carrier of the incurable M1P1 Virus – PacMan Fever. It has a short incubation period. Once Cotto is exposed to it on November 14 the prognosis is not good. In fact, he’ll be cooked — laid out within nine rounds. Even Louis Pasteur couldn’t create a vaccine to protect Cotto from this!.”
Check out Roach’s video interview with Mark Kriegel of FoxSports.com, where Roach breaks down the upcoming fight and predicts a ninth-round knockout victory for Pacquiao.
