Freddie Roach disses ‘TWIGGY’ Oscar De La Hoya

Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach has poured more scorn on Oscar De La Hoya three weeks ahead of the ‘Dream Match’ in Las Vegas.

Roach, who worked with De La Hoya for his fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2007, has ridiculed the boxer’s appearance.

De La Hoya must slim down to 147 pounds for the fight with Pacquiao and will skip the traditional turkey dinner on Thanksgiving Day as a result.

He is pleased with his progress in the battle with the scales but Roach said: “I’m glad to hear that Oscar’s diet has made him skinny.

“The photos of him at his media day have him looking like boxing’s version of Twiggy! If Oscar thinks he has it tough skipping Thanksgiving to train for this fight, wait until Manny cooks his golden goose on December 6!

“Manny’s recipe for success will have Oscar plucked and roasted within nine rounds.”

De La Hoya remains a hot favourite to win the fight and is an 8-11 chance with Sky Bet.

Freddie Roach lands a zinger.

Not sure who I am picking in this one yet, but if Roach keeps this up, I might have to side with The Wild Card Boxing Club.

Hell, I used to spar at The Wild Card, before it was The Wild Card.
