St-Pierre Says He Won’t Fight Without Freddie Roach

Morning Report: Georges St-Pierre tells trainer Freddie Roach he won’t fight again without him in his corner

It’s been a busy past few days for renowned boxing trainer Freddie Roach^↲. In addition to scuffling with Brandon Rios’ team ahead of their Pay-Per-View bout with Manny Pacquiao^↲ Saturday night, Roach may be a major player if and when UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre returns against Johny Hendricks

According to Yahoo Sports, Roach received a text from St-Pierre stating he won’t return to fighting without him in his corner on fight night. St-Pierre began working with Roach in May 2010 in preparation of his title defense against Josh Koscheck at UFC 124, but Roach has never served as a cornerman for a UFC bout^↲. Roach is said to have devised the striking gameplan^↲ St-Pierre used in his most recent bout with Hendricks at UFC 167 , which included extensive use of the jab and a slight tweak for throwing the left hook^↲.

“This guy [Hendricks], he doesn’t know anything, he just punches good with a big left hand,” Roach said. “Pretty much with him, if you can stay away from that and nullify^↲ that, it’s not that tough of a fight^↲. Georges did it, and he had success with it when he did, but he didn’t do it enough in the fight.”

Schedule permitting^↲, Roach says he’ll be in St-Pierre’s corner the next time he steps inside the Octagon^↲.
