Mayweather-Pacquiao Undercard-opdatering: Sid El Harrak venter spændt på Pearson Showdown!
Los Angeles, F.EKS (April 22, 2015) - På mindre end to uger, Sid El Harrak får chancen for at ændre sit livs- og boksekarriere, når han står over for ubesejret Chris Pearson som en del af det historiske Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao-kort på MGM Grand i Las Vegas.
At forberede sig til en gang-i-livet-mulighed, El Harrak dedikerede al sin tid til forskellige aspekter af træning. Fra cardio til styrke og konditionering, skarpe sine færdigheder i gymnastiksalen og intense sparring sessioner, den californiske Londoner dækker alt, hvad man kan forestille sig. Mest vigtigt, han mener, at de udmattende træningssessioner, han har gennemgået på begge Wild Card Boxing Gym-lokationer, allerede har betalt sig.
”Det er meget vigtigt at have rigelig tid til at træne til en kamp, og det er ikke noget, jeg har haft hele min karriere,"Said El Harrak, der er 12-2-2 med 7 vinder ved knockout. "Mentalt, jeg føler 100 procent klar til at gå derude og skinne i den største kamp i mit liv. Jeg arbejder stadig hårdt på at afbalancere alt, så verden ser det bedste Sid El Harrak næste lørdag."
Han elsker også at blive betragtet som underdog mod 11-0 og kraftigt hyped Pearson.
”Jeg er meget stolt og ved at vide, at jeg kommer ind i denne kamp, da B-siden skubber mig så meget mere. Jeg elsker det faktum, at Pearson skulle være "fyren" i denne kamp. Hvis jeg kæmpede med hvem han gjorde, Jeg ville være ubesejret. Samtidig, havde han stået over for de modstandere, jeg gjorde under de samme omstændigheder, han ville have et par tab. For at være ærlig, Jeg er træt af at tænke på ham. Dette er det mest ivrige efter, at jeg har kæmpet i min karriere, og jeg kan ikke vente med at vise alle, hvad jeg kan gøre i maj 2ND!"
El Harrak-Pearson ti runde junior mellemvægt kamp bliver tv-udsendt på forskellige netværk over hele verden.
