I watched this episode on HBO show real sports with Bryant Gumble on HBO. It really struck me that the legendary Freddie Roach that has trained many championship fighters and used to be a boxer himself has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease 20 years ago and is getting in the ring with fighters in the Gym and that helps him a lot. His symptoms started with not being gable to strike his left leg normal ( like me ). It is very interesting that doctors now tell patients to stay active and if they have not been active to get active. Noone told me this. I figured it out on my own and made it my day to day goal.
All the Right Moves
Like elite fighters, trainers can get on a hot streak, and no teacher in the sweet science is currently hotter than Freddie Roach. A journeyman prizefighter in his younger years, Roach has fashioned a potential Hall of Fame career, working out of his famed Wild Card Gym in Hollywood with his most accomplished pupil, pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao, among other sluggers. Roach's own story includes a troubled childhood and a battle with Parkinson's disease today. As REAL SPORTS correspondent Mary Carillo shows, it's easy to see why this three-time BWAA Trainer of the Year is currently the man in demand.
