Roach wants Khan to punish Rios for mocking him

“Amir Khan will expose Brandon Rios at 140,” Roach stated in an exclusive interview with John McCormick at BoxingTalk.com. “I definitely want to see that fight. I want Amir to stay at 140 and beat Rios just for me. Brandon Rios made fun of me before with my Parkinson’s, and even though it was funny, I feel I was disrespected. Brandon is an exchange fighter. He doesn’t even know how to throw a feint, he has no game plan and you can tell.”

I don't know Khan's the man at 140lb, Bob might be a stubborn old prick but he's not a fool.

Arum will wait until Khan moves to welter, then have Rios move in.

I know. He's going to have Rios fight fringe contenders at Jr Welter until Khan moves to Welter. Arum will use the exscuse "It's a new division, we got to take a easy" shit.

That would work. Unlike Bitch Bradley who has no balls, Rios is a hot head. Khan calling him out and talking shit would get under his skin big time.

Roach also took a dig at Garcia during his interview, saying of the Rios-Murray scrap.

“The fight the other night was just two guys in a ring swinging at each other. There was a lot of action with no skill. It seems as if his coach isn’t teaching him any skill,” said Roach.

Garcia responded by pointing to a few of Roach’s recent appearances in the corner with Jorge Linares and then Manny Pacquiao. Linares was bloodied and stopped by Antonio DeMarco on October 15th despite starting strong while Pacquiao struggled against Juan Manuel Marquez last month despite pulling out the majority-decision verdict.

“I didn’t hear anybody say anything about him in the Linares fight,” said Garcia. “I guess he did everything right. Even though he lost and took a beating, I guess he did everything right. I didn’t hear anybody say anything about Freddie Roach after the Pacquiao-Marquez fight, so I guess he just never makes mistakes.”

lmfao at your avatar. Oh and I don't understand the big deal with what roach said. It seemed really tame to me. Btw I would rather see Rios fight maidana first. That would be fucking awesome.

i think its possible but we just have to see how he handles bigger fighters. if he handles the weight well, i believe that he would give khan problems.
