I know Freddie as his brother Pepper and I were in the army together. Pepper taught me how to box at the Ft. Bragg Boxing Gym many years ago in the early 80s. Freddie fought on the undercard of Marvelous Marvin Hagler's first middleweight title defense in 81. Pepper and I drove up to Boston that weekend to see the fight. That's when I first met Freddie and his trainer, the legendary Eddie Futch. Good ol' times in boxing back in those days.
Great story. Thanks for sharing my man.
Wow, that's awesome.
That’s pretty amazing!
Cool story
Salute to you sir
Wow, he knows how to fight, and he surely knows how to coach a legend. Well done, Freddie.
Yeah! Exactly!
Freddie was underrated tough as they come!
Any boxer know how to fight, they literally study violence, fatigue and pain endurance. They are true warriors.
@@PaschanTOPs I hate to call it that, I say studying body mechanics the sweet science.
Coached many legends. Dudes trained 20 something world champions. Should see the names on that list. 👀
It's wild, no one in that crowd has any idea just how significant he will be to the sport. Awesome content!
@Tom lol aight
@Tom yes Freddie roach has 0 impact, all he did was train top dogs like pac, Oscar and cotto 😂
@@druzzi9054 exactly that is what he was saying
@@manymul sarcasm
@Tom if he wasnt you would even know him nor have the timd to comment about him.
A lot of comments and hardly any mention of the legend in Freddie's corner. Eddie Futch, who was actually honored in the ring prior to this fight, is one of the greatest boxing minds ever. No legit boxing person would argue that. He learned from one of the best.
Eddie Futch was a great trainer and a good man. I helped him prepare Freddie in the dressing room for his fight on the Hagler vs Obelmejias undercard in 81. Hagler's first title defense.
From Eddie futch Joe frazier and then Freddie Roach Manny pacquiao the connection though
Right and also Carlos Padilla is the referee who went on to be the ref in the third Ali Frazier fight "The Thrilla in Manila!" Amazing footage.
@MrFafman oh shit! I thought that I recognized him! Thanks!
That third man on the ring is also legendary, the great Carlos Padilla from the Philippines
Di lang pampamilya, pang isports pa
Natumbok mo brother
I'm so happy I got that right. Thanks for the confirmation. When I started watching I said.....Padilla. That's uh.....yeah, Carlos Padilla, then I scrolled to your comment. Remember those days. Some legendary boxing.
I knew I recognized my people's accent when the ref spoke.
i had a feeling he was from philippines by his accent 🤣
Imagine telling Freddie about 40 years later about these comments on this video. Well done Freddie and thanks for your enormous contribution to our beloved sport.
I had never seen a Freddie Roach fight before, this was great to see. Impressive record at 34 - 6, and only having 11 knockouts didn't matter here, obviously.
Same here.
A poisonous power puncher❤
Legendary trainer!
Yeah man, Roach is definitely a legendary trainer and solid boxer. His head movement, body attack, and grappling set everything up.
The big knock is his defense is not that great and gets hit a lot
@@coryburns9161 worked perfect for Pacquiao tho to have an offensive coach like that. Same with Brandon Rios. He really shinned with Roach. Reminds me of Erol Spence now. Erol fights just like Derrick James used to but Derrick wasn’t the same talent and showed Erol how to fight his style and now Erol is insanely dominant
@@Killianshotya I just made a comment about about roach that the commenters said themselves when I watch the video yeah but we all know that the Pacman is a whole different fighter
@@coryburns9161 did Pacquiao have better defense?
@@jackjack4412 you know that he did
I have much respect for a corner that comes in and stops a fight like we just saw. Good timing.
This was great. It was the first fight with Freddie Roach I've ever seen.
Freddy keeps adjusting his invisible head gear haha cool to watch him fight!
Freddie Roach fought some WARS. He was tough as nails.
Awesome! Anytime we can see a free fight that I have never seen before is a welcomed treat. Thanks! 🥊🖖
I did not know Fred was a boxer before until now. He deserves more recognition or a life documentary.
He’s had both for years! Bozo!
@@jb.8992 is fred your boyfriend? Why so mad
@@roughroadrunner88 he’s your daddy!
@@jb.8992 if we he was then i would have known. duh. I guess he really is your boyfriend 🌈
Did I just watch Freddie Roach knock out Ryan Garcia? lol
Also, I like the technique of catching punches with your face. haha jk
😂😂😂😂
lol
😆
🤣🤣🤣🔥
glad Roach's professional career gets some spotlight
Wow!!! He had that moves and power!!! Wow!
Textbook old time conventional boxing displayed by a young Freddie Roach!!!
I miss the Showboat...cheap food, free wrestling matches...great bowling alley...good times!
That referee is a legend
Carlos Padilla Jr. Great referee along with Mils Lane. Legendary trainer Eddie Futch. Papa Smurf as he was affectionately known.
"Some people theorise that all those hard fights recently...will take their toll on Freddie."
Hmm....yes...just a theory.
So glad to see that Top Rank is dipping into their archives to show their early ESPN TOP RANK SHOWS. It's the fights like these that allowed the boxers of the past to fight on a consistent basis and develop in front of the boxing fans. The boxing fan enjoyed following the boxers progress on the Weekly Top Rank as the boxer worked towards moving into title contention. Well matched shows with boxers who competed to become the best. Please continue to provide the new boxing fans with these shows from your archives Thank you.
wow First time of seeing Freddie in action and I was unaware that he was trained by Eddie Futch (RIP) too - A master trained by a master
And the master trainee turned into a master coach trained the legendary fighter 🔥🔥💯
Freddy Roach was one of my favorite fighters, he always came to fight and gave you a great fight
he fought like jeff horn tho XD
Love the flashback 🥊❤️
A pure and crisp textbook boxer that Freddy Roach.
Never seen Freddie get down like that I always seen him get beat like a Roach but Roach stomped some a$& here and ya know he's a great trainer
Great fabulous victory for him cool
Roach looks like some shit out of Lord Of The Rings
Loved watching Freddie Roach when I was a kid. Never in a dull fight!
'Freddy's been in a lot of wars. Maybe all those fights will take their toll on him' Those words were a curse to him.
Roach is the man. A legend. His lessons learned and being able to pass it on is amazing. He never made it to stratospheric Heights as his protégés but an amazing contributor
DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO THE SWEET SCIENCE 🥊🥊💯
Freddy has good head movement.
He still does.
@@danr2652 now that was cold
@@LeftHookDeadly280 So Freddie does talk a lot of smack
Thanks for pieces of history! Keep them coming
"He wants to knock out Ruelaz with one punch." How does Al Bernstein always foreshadow knockouts?
Because unlike today's commentary he actually knows what he's talking about
He’s just one of the greater commentators. Always a treat to hear him call for showtime
@Tom I'd say you know everything about it
HE ALWAYS SAYS SOMEONE CANT DO SOMETHING THEN IT HAPPENS SOON AS HE SAYS IT. HAHAHA
I think u guys need to watch again. AL was saying Freddie needs to stop trying to knock him out because he doesn't have KO power. Next moment, on cue, Freddie KOs dude. Bernstein is a charlatan.
Great fighter - great trainer. Legendary achievements. Freddie Roach.
Carlos Padilla is the referee of this fight from the Philippines who also refereed Ali vs Frazier " Trilla in Manila".
He lost his credibility when he allowed Pacquiao to get up during the Hussein fight... that spelled out the greatest come back in boxing....Manny won by Knock out paving the way to his greatness
It’s hilarious that at 11:30 the commentator was negatively talking about Roaches approach of trying to get a knockout with one punch and before he finished his sentence he does 😂😂😂
WOOOOW 👍
Thank you for content 👍!
Al Bernstein; 11:31 ""He's not a knockout puncher....." while the guy is on his back. Solid commentary.
More like delayed commentary 😆 top rank always does this when they upload some of their videos
It's surprising to see his fighting style. For some reason I thought it would be more akin to Manny's style, but I'm seeing a lot of influence from Frazier's style in Freddy's style. Although he did seem to take way too many unnecessary punches to the head 😬
Good observation. Frazier was one of his favorite fighters. Manny already had his style before meeting roach. Freddy just made it better.
I believe they were both trained by Eddie Futch, which could explain the similarities in style.
I think he sacrificed his head in order to attack the body because he realized this guy couldn’t seriously hurt him.
@@daltonbreaux yeah looks like it. I looked at this I feel kinda sad for the version of him that I see right there. At that time he really loved boxing but his mother (I think) was a boxing judge and she used to tell him all the time that he wasn't that good. Eventually he quit, ending up hating boxing and didn't want to even look at it. Long story short he found his way back into the gym many years later and started coaching and the rest is History......I guess it all works out like that in the end huh.
@@Lovellyoungwolf pretty amazing life story for sure.
It’s surprising that neither commentator had anything to say about Roach’s punishing body attack through the first three rounds. That’s what set up the knockout.
Damn straight bro 🤟 his body shots just sneak in there so easily 👍
@@markmcallan973 yet the commentators kept saying Roach really wasn’t doing much damage. He was destroying the guy’s will to fight with his body shots.
@@daltonbreaux they don't know the slow but effective excecution of body shots I have fought a few boxing fights but I had a lot more Muay Thai fights many years ago and my knees to the body nearly always did the job it takes soul right out of em🤟 respect from Australia bro 👍
Along way from the South Side Gym in Roslindale MA Freddie and Pepper were fun to watch. So glad Freddie Roach had great success as a trainer!
Pepe' not pepper
Wow 😮 Freddie Roach the great. I didn't expect that. He is a legend.
Wow... Freddie Roach fist PAC quite a punch! Kudos also to ref Carlos Padilla.
That 2nd right hook was picture perfect. Awesome job Freddie 👏 👍
What a great fight. They both went hard in that third round.
Trainer of the legend both 2 legends in one team
nice thank you
When Eddie Futch is working your corner that makes you a legend. At least in my book .
It's crazy in all of these comments, Eddie Futch gets no mention. If anyone wonders how Roach became a legend, look no further. Eddie is easily one of the best boxing minds ever. Freddie was both his fighter and apprentice if I remember correctly. Actually before this fight, Eddie was honored in the ring I think for his bday.
What a great video I didn't know roach was this good
Love how the commentator was criticising Roach then Roach dropped him 😂
The Ruelaz-Cordova match was an awesome fight too! Hopefully someone has it and will put it on TH-cam!
Dang! Roach had some good combo. Eddie Futch did a great job here. Keep rockin
Freddie looks like a happy days character putting the Fonzie on his back
The third man on the ring is a filipino, a legend mr. Carlos Padilla. Proud moment
im a Marquez fan, always rooted for him vs. PacMan. But those 4 fights made a fan of PacMan n Roach. It is nice to see Roach young n healthy. Great career, all my respects go out to him.
Oh man Freddie such a legend 😢😢😢😢
Was nice to see Freddie Roach, in action.
Please find Freddie Roach vs Roger Mayweather need to see that
They just sparred and Roger was bigger, stronger and just better. Freddie got heart, I remember Roger saying he can take a beating
They never fought . Only sparred
THEY ACTUALLY FOUGHT ?
@@david.amuiki no
I like Freddie's reasonably sized shorts
I know the commentators know their stuff, but I thought it was really weird that they were more concerned Roach wasn't throwing his jab then taking into consideration the strategy he had in throwing those brutal hook shots to the body. He tore Ruelaz's body up in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. They were sort of hinting at the fact that Ruelaz would be rusty after a year off and I think that Roach understood this deeply and took advantage of Ruelaz's lack of conditioning. Freddie Roach is fantastic.
I sure miss watching the tuesday / wednesday / thursday night fights on the USA network many years ago. The show actually inspired me to join boxing. I guess it was a hidden talent because i did very well from the start in the golden gloves amateur division.
Fought for 5 years, then it was time to move on.
Nice Freddie cool to see you in the ring good strong hands nice overhand right and left hook to finish my favorite the man!
This is what you call being put in a time machine
Freddie Roach activated Rage…LOL
he wasn't fortunate enough to become a world champion, so he created an 8 division
Great Trainor And Great boxer Salute for Coach Freddie Roach 🫡
What a legend is freddie. And he could still make my jaw disappear from under my nose.
I caught a few of Freddie’s fights in the 80’s when I was young boy. Dude wasn’t the most gifted fighter. But! He was a tough SOB!
That leaping right hand was poetry.
Classic!
Cool little fight! How did the post production at top rank not sync the sound though???!
Freddy shows the effects of boxing when he talks...
I met Freddie Roach at the Wild Crad Gym when he was training Manny Pacquiao. I met Pepper Roach too that day. Both Freddie and Pepper are awesome.
Watched Freddie's entire career, real time. Those were the days.
Cool freddie roach boxing awesome
This is great! I would love to see the war between Freddy and my uncle Dave.
Damn good post!
I miss hearing Bernstein calling fights. One of my favorites growing up.
An Amazing talent boxer and coach of all times ❤
Bernstein kept quiet after Roach started scoring two knockouts😂
That’s awesome!
I must be crazy but
paq was fighting like this man crazy!
I keep seeing that duck in rapid punches remind me of paq!
man some of these trainers really turn fighters on to their mind set and moves
Mike Tyson is a good explain too
Great memories of Tuesday night boxing on USA Network
Little did Freddie Roach know that he would become one of the most prominent trainers in the world training world class fighters.
If you listen to the commentators they mention how Roach's defense is a weak spot and he takes a lot more punches than he really needs to.
This dope
Freddie body work is insane 💯💯
I had no idea Frederick Steven Roach Freddie Roach was that good a fighter/boxer.. I wish him success I wish I had only and always 👍
Good lighter, this Freddie kid, with the possibility of becoming an OK trainer. 😊😊😊
Freddie is a living legend!!
💪😎👍
Great fight. First you win. Then, you teach.
its funny hearing a super old school commentator alongside a much more modern sounding one
Nice triple jabs from roach. Good style boxing
i click because of Freddie Roach not expecting to see our legendary referree Carlos Padilla Jr.
Freddie was a tough little man
What’s the date for this fight?
Awesomeness
