I’m from Cincinnati Ohio and while on vacation ,I stopped at the wildcard boxing club. The moment I walked to the door there was Freddie roach. I enter deuce myself ask if I could train he replied certainly and couldn’t have been a nicer guy spent a good 10 to 15 minutes with me show me around the place explaining the history. Freddie roach is a very great guy and truly a class act. So if you’re ever in Hollywood California find Vine Street and stop by the wildcard boxing club and see one of the Nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Thank you Freddie roach for a great memory.

Fav wild card moment was when Pacquiao was training for Hatton. I was working with Jesse Arévalo at the gym and they typically would clear the gym out for pacquiaos training. This was his last sparring session prior to the team heading to Vegas. Freddie didn’t kick anyone out (gym wasn’t packed because people typically knew around Manny’s training they would have to leave) and got to see Manny spar 6 rounds while sitting on the stretching table ringside. Greatest gym moment I’ve ever had.

Mr. Freddie Roach is a super special human being, he treated me and my wife so well when we flew from brazil to LA and met him in this gym Ill never forget. God Bless him!

Freddie Roach is what we as boxers would like to aspire to. For a man with Parkinson’s he is a true boxing man!!!!

[@LiLgPnoy15]

I love going to this place. I swing by each time I come to LA.

[@jukijunk]

Roach is speaking really well and smooth in this video, almost as if his Parkinson's disease is not affecting his voice..

[@longhorn7]

Freddie Roach is a class act human being. He has been so gracious whenever I've gone to visit his gym.

[@ANTPHRESSH89]

Did i just witness @Freddie Roach showin love to Floyd Mayweather? Wow!

[@dargeoge95]

He just explained that they've alway been cool but only talk shit to promote the fight. And he just said it wont be easy. I see it as respect not so much love.

[@dargeoge95]

Andy Irish thanks bro

[@jeremywhitfield4556]

He's a respectful man, the same can't be said for a lot of others

[@bcm7779]

Great interview, nice to see a more chilled out Roach as he can get a little hot headed at times. There is always an underlying respect in this sport.

[@JohnWick-lh9gn]

Wow.. What a coach!

[@Prettyrickyboxing]
