It was announced on Thursday that legendary trainer and Hall of Famer Angelo Dundee had been added to Oscar De La Hoya’s training team as a special consultant to assist with his preparation to face Manny Pacquiao in their super fight on December 6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The Pacman’s trainer says nothing has changed.
“I don’t care if Oscar has Major Dundee in his camp,” said Roach, upon hearing the Dundee news. “No one is going to be able to help Oscar pull the trigger when he faces Manny on December 6!”
87 year-old Dundee has worked with fifteen world champions during his career, most notably Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard. Nacho Beristain will remain as De La Hoya’s chief trainer for the fight with Pacquiao.
Freddie Roach trained De La Hoya for his last fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
