HINDI pa tapos ang pangagalaiti ni Hall of Famer trainer Freddie Roach sa desisyon ng mga huirado, higit kay Walesca Roldan ng New York na umiskor ng hindi kapani-paniwalang 117-111 kaya nanawagan siya sa World Boxing Organization na paimbestigahan ang mga hurado at referee sa laban na nagpanalo sa bagong kampeon na si Jeff Horn laban kay eight-division Manny Pacquiao kamakalawa sa Brisbane, Australia.

“That was hard, sometimes I think people need to be investigated,” sabi ni Roach sa panayam ng Daily Telegraph sa Australia. “At least in America where you get odd scores like that with the judges, the head commissioner should ask at some point, ‘Why? Where? Show me how you came up with that score.’”

Kinuwestiyon din niya ang Amerikanong referee na si Mark Nelson na waring pumabor din kay Horn kaya binalewala lamang ang maruruming taktika ng Aussie boxer.

Goodbye PBA? John Amores, tinanggalan na ng professional license!

“You have to think about [Mark Nelson] refereeing more fights or not, he’s maybe just not doing a good job,” ani Roach. “That is a WBO concern, I think they should do something about it, but I don’t think they ever will. The wrestling, getting hit behind the head a lot, it didn’t look good, but the referee didn’t pay any attention to it.”

“I don’t know how he let a professional fighter get away with things like that, if you end up in a headlock after every exchange, someone is doing something wrong,” himutok ni Roach.
