Freddie Roach Talks UFC 124, Georges St. Pierre vs. Anderson Silva

News, Video

Freddie Roach has recently been talking to Fight Hub about his role training Georges St. Pierre. The legendary boxing trainer of current champions such as Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan talked about (amongst other things) his experiences training GSP in the buildup to the welterweight champion’s defense against Josh Koscheck at UFC 124. In that match St. Pierre showed superior boxing, punishing the challenger with a brutal jab-hook that Roach had taught him. The interview is below but what is most fascinating is his discussion about the proposed superfight between GSP and fellow P4P king Anderson Silva. Not only does Roach treat the match like a done deal should St. Pierre retain against Shields but he compares his experience training both fighters.
