Roach approached Rios trainer Robert Garcia in the gym that both
camps are sharing at The Venetian casino on Macau's Cotai Strip,
saying they had gone past their scheduled time and should leave.
Video of the incident shows a heated argument before Roach was
kicked in the upper body by Alex Ariza, a member of the Rios camp
who formerly worked with Roach.
Roach and Garcia were scheduled to appear at a joint news conference
with both boxers later Wednesday. [Associated
