Roger weighed in with his take.

“There is no time for catch-up,” he said. “I’m happy to be back in the gym with my nephew and help him prepare for De La Hoya. I’ve been keeping close tabs on him and am very pleased with how things have been going so far. Now we’re ready to get down to serious business.
