Бруклін (Красавіка 29, 2015) – Boxing superstar Эмір “Кароль” Хан (30-3, 19 КО) вяртаецца на рынг на Мая 29 to take on former world champion Крыс Algieri (20-1, 8 КО) у Barclays Center ў Брукліне, Нью-Ёрк, as the headliner of an exciting Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) card on Spike TV.

Opening up the televised action, which is set to begin at 9 p.m. І/PT, will be the return of Brooklyn’s own two-time world champion Полі Малиньяджи (33-6, 7КО) as he faces Boston’s Дэні О'Конар (25-2, 9КО) in a 10-round welterweight attraction.

With the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao welterweight championship showdown just days away, Хан, Algieri, Malignaggi and O’Connor gave their take on how the most anticipated fight of this era will go down.

Амір Хан: “This is a fight that the world has been wanting to see for so long and it’s great that it is now upon us. Floyd and Manny are two legendary fighters and it is only right that we get to see them share the ring together. I have no doubt that this is going to be a tremendous matchup and will be extremely exciting for as long as it lasts. Manny has hand speed and fast feet that will cause Floyd some problems early on, but as it progresses I expect Floyd to make the adjustments he tends to make to counter that before pulling away on the scorecards. Both fighters still have so much to give and у суботу night I’m sure they’re going to produce something very special for the fans.”

Крыс Algieri: “Styles make fights and I believe this is a style that suits Floyd. Floyd is the smartest fighter in the game. He will be able to pick up on certain flaws and exploit them. Manny is going to make him work in there and I believe that the first few rounds are going to be very interesting. Manny is a different and smarter fighter than he was before the Marquez knockout. If Manny comes in shape the way that he did against me, and if Floyd has missed a step at all, then I see Pacquiao giving him all kinds of trouble. Ultimately though, I see Mayweather winning a decision.”

Полі Малиньяджи: “I am taking Mayweather by wide decision or a late-round stoppage. He has too much variation to his arsenal. Pacquiao is fun to watch, but his one-dimensional approach won’t be enough у суботу ноч.”

Дэні О'Конар: “I am going with Mayweather. He is too smart to fall into anyone’s game plan, other than his own. I predict a decision based off of his superior boxing ability.”
