A lot of old-school boxing guys seize on every opportunity they get to take shots at mixed martial arts, but Freddie Roach isn’t one of those old-school boxing guys. Roach likes MMA, has trained and cornered MMA fighters, and thinks the two sports can coexist peacefully.
So when Roach throws out a criticism of the UFC — as he did when asked about the upcoming fight between former UFC champion Randy Couture and former boxing champion James Toney — it can’t be dismissed in the way tired criticisms from so many old-school boxing guys can be.
But I still think Roach is wrong.
