Roach isn't touching that fight with a bargepole. He's with PBC so it isn't going to come off. If it did though, Zelfa clearly wins a wide-ish decision or even a late stoppage. Zelfa has more skills, better power, longer reach, and controls the ring to a higher level than does Roach.

Good job on making stuff up.

PBC won the purse-bid to stage Garcia/Roach. Roach used to be with GBP, but it seems like he's a free agent now.

That's great news then. Let's hope the fight comes off next.

I thought he was a PBC fighter. That's great that he's not. The fight can happen now.
