He most recently dominated Samuel Vargas on the April 11 on PBC on NBC card. I’m very familiar with this young, exciting prospect. He’s a very talented fighter and he will be a force to be reckoned with for quite some time. He’s a future world champion. He’s coming to us at 16-0 amin'ny 13 Kos. Errol?
Errol Spence Jr.
Hi, I’m glad to be here. It’s a big opportunity for me on a huge stage. I’m going to go in and do like I always do, put on a great show and a great performance and raise my stock. Antenaina, rehefa afaka izany ady, Ary rehefa afaka izany fampisehoana lehibe, Dia mety ho ny tena zava-nitranga tao amin'ny NBC.
Q
Ve ianao te ianao mampihetsi-po ny fomba te-ho nampihetsi-po? Faster? Slower? Where you’re supposed to be? Avy eo dia, Inona no tsy ho ela araka ny hevitrao, fa raha afaka mikarakara ny mpanohitra, Roberto Garcia, faran'ny herinandro ity, fa afaka mahazo ho any an-dia manan-danja kokoa ady, angamba fa anaram-boninahitra amin'ny fotoana iray?
Ary. Spence Jr.
I feel like I’m moving the way I want to move. I’m fighting when I want to and I’m fighting on the regular, so everything’s been consistent and how I want it to go. I’m stepping up the competition, and I’m fighting on the big stage that I wanted to fight on. After I get rid of Roberto Garcia, I think it will be another step up fight. Antenaina, Dia afaka mahazo kokoa fantatra anarana-mpanohitra, izao tontolo izao antenaina teo aloha tompon-daka amin'ny misy, ary avy eo tany am-boalohany indraindray amin'ny herintaona, I afaka hiady ho anaram-boninahitra.
Q
Araka ny ankamaroan'ny olona, ianao no tena manan-talenta mpiady ao amin'ny United States Olaimpika Team in 2012 ary ny lehilahy amin'ny mety indrindra ho toy ny matihanina. Izany ve no fialamboly ho anareo? Does it motivate you? Do you believe your clippings? How do you stay focused? Because it seems like you are a pretty focused guy, ny fomba Efa mandeha momba ny raharaham-barotra.
Ary. Spence Jr.
Voalohany aloha, Ny fifantohana dia mazava ho azy fotsiny aho manao zavatra, but I also want to live up to the hype and to the high standards that a lot of boxing writers and a lot of people have of me. I’ve just got to go out there and perform and look great, ary te-hijery lehibe, so I have to stay focused and work hard. That’s the only way that I’m going to get where I want to be and get to the top and get to fighting these name-known opponents. Aho tsy maintsy mijanona fotsiny mifantoka sy marina foana vita fanoloran-tena, ary mazava aho miady ho fantatra bebe kokoa mpanohitra, toa an'i Robert Guerrero na Keith Thurman na Amir Khan, na olona toy izany.
Q
Ahoana ary no nandresy an'i Garcia manaova zavatra izay mahazo anao any?
Ary. Spence Jr.
Roberto Garcia, dia ny mafy, izy efa ela nihetezana, ary manao ahy tsy ho izany ary eo amoron-tevan'ny maha-contender, Tsy maintsy miatrika ny lehilahy toy izany, ny lehilahy amin'ny be ny traikefa tena tsara sy ny firaketana an-tsoratra, so I can go into that contender level and contender status where I can start fighting more name-known guys. I think it’s just a process I have to go through so I can get to where I want to be. Roberto Garcia is a tough fighter. He’s not as known as the guys I would like to fight, fa izaho kosa tsy maintsy miady azy mba ho an'ireo bandy.
Q
Manoloana ny firongatry ny maro ny mpiady Eoropa Atsinanana, izay miady ho anaram-boninahitra ao amin'ny faharoa na fahatelo matihanina ady, ve ianao mba karazana fanerena dingana ny dingana ihany ka ento ady henjana be ry zareo, ary hampitombo haingana kely noho isika efa mahazatra hita Amerikana mpiady tamin'ny lasa?
Ary. Spence Jr.
Aza. I don’t necessarily feel pressured. Everybody has their own path that they have to take. What those guys did was great, ary izany no miavaka sy tena fahita mihitsy izany, fa ny olona rehetra manana ny lalana, ary ny olon-drehetra Mitombo mitovy.
Q
Errol, hatramin'ny PBC Nanomboka nandefa ady, amin'ny 2015, ianao efa nanan-, ny ady iray teo amin'ny Garcia-Peterson undercard, fa ny mpiady ara-barotra na ny mombamomba, Izany no fahazoana betsaka ny fiatrehana ny loza. Azonao lazaina amiko izay fa Efa toy ny nahita ny tenanao ao amin'ny TV sy izay ny fanehoan-kevitra efa ho ny hatsiaka?
Ary. Spence, Jr.
It’s been great. Sonenika aho. It shows that my hard work’s been paying off, and it shows how my manager believes in me. I’ve only been a pro fighter for three years and some change and I’m already being broadcast in with guys that have been pro eight, folo taona, iraika ambin'ny folo taona, and I’m head-to-head with these guys. It just shows a lot of people believe in me and I’ve got a lot of people behind me who support me.
Q
Ianao voalaza Robert Guerrero, Keith Thurman, and Amir Khan as potential opponents that you’re looking at. Do you see them as stepping stones to something bigger, na ireo ny ady tianao? It sounded like you might have been alluding to a different fight. Ahoana aho no nanontany tena raha mahita ireo ry zalahy toy ny ao an-dalana mba hiady Mayweather?
Ary. Spence Jr.
Not necessarily. These are the guys that are in the top ten, that are in the top five. These are the guys that are supposed to be there after Floyd retires in September, izao no handeha ry zalahy izay ho lazaina fa mihazakazaka ny fizarana, so these are the guys I’m looking at. I’m nowhere near close to fighting Mayweather, because I haven’t even gotten in the top ten yet. These are the guys thatI’m looking at that are in the top ten that are supposedly running the weight class after Floyd’s gone and retired.
Q
Te-hanontany anao momba ny zavatra fantatrao ny mpanohitra, Roberto Garcia? Ve ianao mandinika, ho toy ny mpanohana, Garcia mba ho ny henjana indrindra mpiady izay efa niatrika?
Ary. Spence, Jr.
I see him as the most experienced fighter. It could be the toughest. It all depends. One of my tough fights was against Emmanuel Lartey. Izy no 15-0, ary ka aho ny 8-0 tamin'ny fotoana. But I mean it could be. Izy mafy, Izy za-draharaha, and he’s gritty. I know he’s going to come to fight, toy izany no ho iray ny ady henjana indrindra hatramin'izao.
Q
Ankehitriny, you’ve gone back and forth in the last year or so between welterweight and super welterweight. Is there one of those weight classes you particularly want to focus upon?
Ary. Spence Jr.
Mijanona ao aho 147, and welterweight is my weight class. A lot of times I might fight at 148 na ny zavatra toy izany, fa 147 dia ny lanjan'ny aho kilasy izay miady amin'ny.
K. Swanson
Okay, izay ny fanontaniana farany, Errol, but I have one for you that I’d like to add here. The weekend is Father’s Day weekend, ary avy izay efa namaky ny momba anao, ny dadako dia fitaovana tsara tarehy tamin'ny fanaovana antoka fa nanana ady totohondry asa. Manontany tena aho raha toa ka afaka hizara kely ho antsika kely momba ny fifandraisanao amin'ny dada, Nahoana no zava-dehibe izy ho any amin'ny fampandrosoana ny ady totohondry fahaiza-, ary raha Ho aminareo faran'ny herinandro izao amin'ny Las Vegas.
Ary. Spence Jr.
Ny dadako, he got me started in boxing. Izy dia mpamily kamiao, ka nampiasainy hitondra fiara mandritra ny alina, ary avy eo dia Ho hahazo an-trano 12:00 p.m. na taty aoriana dia hitondra ahy any amin'ny fanaovana fanatanjahan-tena. Then after that he’d come from the gym, azy dia tahaka ny 5:00 na 6:00 p.m., ary izy no miala sasatra ny iray na adiny roa, ary mandeha mahitsy miasa. Tamin'ny fotoana, Tsy tena mieritreritra momba izany, fa tahaka ny nahazo antitra sy ny kely hendry, tonga saina ny fanatitra rehetra izay namono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho ahy mba ho afaka boaty ary any amin'ny firenena rehetra izany Fifaninanana sy ny rehetra izany avy amin'ny fanjakana Fifaninanana sy ny zavatra. He had to pay for the hotel, mandoa ny sakafo sy ny zavatra toy ny avy amin'ny paosy. We didn’t have any sponsors and stuff like that.
Izy milalao ampahany lehibe ny ady totohondry asa. He’s my supporter. That’s my mentor. That’s like my best friend. For Father’s Day, Aho handeha haka azy ny fandresena, ary tsy mandeha ho fandresena mahavariana fa tiany hahatongavana nirehareha ny dia Ho tia. He played a big part in my career. Without him, Fantatro aho, dia tsy ady totohondry.
K. Swanson
Great. Thanks for sharing that. I know he was an important part of your story. Izany, Leonard, that is it on the side for Errol. We appreciate you taking the time out of your training. Best ny vintana ho anao, ary manantena ny mijery anareo ao amin'ny PBC ao amin'ny NBC.
L. Ellerbe
The fans are going to be in for a great treat with this fight. Garcia comes with a lot of experience, and Errol is the new guy on the block. He’s making a name for himself. Big things are expected out of Errol, ary tiany hahatongavana mitady ho tonga amin'ny alalan'ny ny Sabotsy alina tamin'ny fampisehoana lehibe.
Ary. Spence Jr.
Misaotra anao. I’d like to thank everybody for their questions and stuff and everybody tuning in and listening. Just make sure you tune in Saturday. I’m going to put on a great performance and a great show.
L. Ellerbe
Ao ny tena zava-nitranga, isika manana ady tena mampientam-po. We have two gentlemen who are very familiar with each other. They both come out of the state of Ohio. They both have extensive amateur backgrounds. I think it’s going to be an excellent fight.
We have Shawn Porter. Hoy aho hoe Like, Izy rehefa tonga tao aminay avy any amin'ny Akron, Ohio. He’s now fighting out of Las Vegas. His most recent win was on Spike in March when he fought Eric Bone. He has fought a number of good fighters, including big wins over former world champions Devon Alexander and Paulie Malignaggi. He comes to us with a record of 25-1-1, amin'ny 16 Kos, Tsy nisy afa-tsy ny tompon-daka eran-welterweight teo aloha, “Fotoana Fampisehoana” Shawn Porter.
Shawn Porter
Inona ny malaza, rehetra? Thanks for having me on.
Ken Porter
Misaotra anareo ry zalahy fa ny tena tsara fampidirana, Leonard. We really appreciate you guys having us on today. As far as our training camp, Shawn has been preparing for this fight and the previous fight and the previous fight before that ever since he turned professional. We never really go into a camp, per se. We just continue with what we were already doing. I have been blessed with an athlete who understands that this is his lifestyle, izany taona-fihodinana, and he just works like that. So when it was time to turn up the heat a little bit, we were already ready to go. When it was time to bring down the weight a little bit, izay tsy misy olana na.
He’s strong. He’s happy. He’s feeling really good. Today we did a little bit of track work. We headed to the gym, ary avy eo isika dia nampahatsiahivina fa nanana antso nandritra ity fihaonambe ity aminao ry zalahy, noho izany dia tena tsy misy olana ho antsika mba hiverina an-trano ka hipetraka ho kely sy handray antso izany, satria ny rehetra ny asa mafy efa vita, tsy ady izany na toby ity, but in previous fights and previous camps that we’ve had before this. Everything is on point. Everything is exactly where we want it to be, ary Faly hatrany ho any ny ady mafy ny Sabotsy alina tamin'ny mpiady lehibe.
Q
Inona no nataonao hafa ao amin'ny toby fampiofanana ity mba hanomanana ny tenanao ho ady io sy ny hafainganam-pandehan'ny Adrien Broner?
S. Mitafy
Hainao ve fa, I’ll let you know. Eny, he is skillful and fast. We haven’t really done much different to try to offset that or anything. The reason being is because we know that I’m just as fast and just as quick as he is. There haven’t been any special workouts that we’ve incorporated this camp or anything like that to do anything differently to offset his speed. We’ve just really focused more so on my skills and also the different techniques that are required to cut off and slow down a fast fighter like him. Izany, dia inona no Efa manao, fotsiny amin'ny ambaratonga ambony. We’re not overlooking his speed. We’ve just done more of what we need to do to prepare for it, izay efa foana ny zavatra atao.
K. Mitafy
Fotsiny mba hanome anareo ry zalahy kely Info, Mino aho fa Devon Alexander dia iray amin'ireo mpanao ady totohondry, haingana indrindra amin'ny ady totohondry, fe-potoana. I know that Manny Pacquiao is one of the fastest boxers in boxing. I know that Andre Dirrell is one of the fastest boxers in this sport. Shawn has been able to compete against those type of guys in professional fights, in fivoriana, in camps. We don’t have a problem with anyone’s speed. He’s just as fast as anybody that comes in the ring with him, koa rehefa miresaka momba ny lehilahy ny hafainganam-pandeha, izany tsy zavatra isika mikasika ny.
Ny olana fa iny tovolahy dia tsy maintsy hiatrika ny fifadian-kanina izahay, and we’ve got power to come along with that. Izany, we’re prepared for that. Just like Shawn said, we just continue doing what we’ve already done. At this point in time, izay tsy misy mampanahy mihitsy, dia araka izany no vonona ho amin'izany.
Q
Efa fomba Na izany na tsy nanomana ny tenanao ho angamba ny antics izay tonga teny an-peratra miaraka amin'ny Adrien Broner?
S. Mitafy
Hainao ve fa, I haven’t. I understand that could arise during the fight. My whole thing is this, ary ny zavatra izay efa foana ny raiko ahy nifanety, is being professional at all times. Being professional means maintaining your composure and staying poised and sticking to the game plan no matter what. Izany, na inona na inona mba hanao na hoe mandritra ny ady, mihoatra noho ny mety midika hoe manao zavatra aho tsara, and I’ll just continue to do what I’m doing and what my corner’s asking me to do. I’m not worried about it at all. Aho hoe iza moa aho, ary mahazo ny asa atao.
K. Mitafy
Shawn’s coming to knock Adrien’s head off. He’s in a real fight, and this is a big fight. I think it’s going to be a very entertaining fight. They both have contrasting styles. Both have certain strengths that they do certain things very well. It’s going to be a very competitive and exciting fight.
Q
You’re an Akron guy. Broner’s a Cincinnati guy. They’re saying it’s the battle of Ohio, ary isika dia handeha ho any Las Vegas, toerana lehibe ho an'ny ady lehibe ny fotoana rehetra, ny toerana lehibe ny manana ady, fa Moa angamba fa ry zalahy ho duking izany ao an-Ohio mba handaminana ny hirehareha zo ho an'ny fanjakana?
S. Mitafy
Aho avaratra Ohio lehilahy, fa tsy Akron, not just Cleveland. It’s a blessing to be able to represent northeast Ohio, and I’ve done that for a very long time with pride. I’ve made everyone proud back home along the way. Indray, ny zavatra rehetra nianarako aho, I learned from my dad. He told me a long time ago, hoy izy raha te-hanatsara, raha te-hahazo tsara kokoa sy manao zavatra eo amin'ny avo indrindra, ao ve ianao mba hifindra eo ary indraindray hiala an-trano irery sy hikarakara ny raharaha.
Dia lazaina, Las Vegas is the Mecca of boxing. It’s where we all want to be. I’ve been blessed enough to move out here two years ago, and this is where I always wanted my career to go. A fight of this magnitude is happening where it’s supposed to happen at. The bragging rights will come after the fight.
Q
Manao ahoana ny hasarotry ny handeha ho anao midina ho any 144? What was the reason that you guys made the fight for significantly under the welterweight limit when both of you guys have been welterweight champions and not had any issues with 147?
S. Mitafy
I’ll answer the first question first. Izao dia izao, isika Cadillacing, and what I mean by that is we’re taking it one day at a time. We’re moving slow so everybody can see us, and we’re feeling good doing it. It’s coming along exactly the way we wanted it to, and it’s been a blessing. We were called and told that we were asked to be 144 pounds by Adrien Broner. That was not our decision. As soon as it was announced to me from my dad, Nolazaiko taminy, na inona na inona tokony hataontsika mba hahatonga ny ady.
Heveriko misy kely zanak'osy avy Cincinnati iza no matahotra ny ady amin'ny 147, even though that’s a weight that he’s even fought for a championship at. That’s neither here nor there. The weigh-in is Friday. We’ll be there. We’ll be on weight, and we’ll be excited to get on that scale and look him in the eyes at that weight and let him know that we’re feeling good. Whatever advantage he thought could come from that, dia ny tsy fahazoana misy.
Ny zavatra tsara momba izany no sambatra aho fa manana vatana lehibe, and somehow we can get my body to do what it needs to do. Rehefa tapitra ny andro, all I can do is give it up to God. It’s been great along the way and, tahaka anao nanao hoe:, Dia niady toy ny avo tahaka ny 165 ao ny tsy matihanina, ary na dia 154 eo mitodika mpomba, ary ankehitriny 147 for the last about four or five years. It’s been great, ary nidina vitsivitsy kilao kokoa dia tsy ho olana.
K. Mitafy
I call it addition by subtraction. As he loses weight, he increases his opportunity for big fights. Izany, izahay, dia tonga avy 154 ny 147, ary misy ady lehibe any ary ady lehibe anarana any. Eto isika dia efa nisy nangataka ka tsy mbola nidina vitsivitsy kilao, and it just so happens he’s living this way year round so he didn’t have to go into some crazy I’ve got to get this weight off type thing. This morning, he was very light. He’s eaten twice this morning already. He’s feeling really good. We’re able to do this, and we’re confident that it’ll continue throughout the week to come off like it is. We’re looking forward to this big fight at a lighter weight. Izany, that’s why I call it addition by subtraction. We get more out of coming down in a lower weight than we did being in the higher weight class.
Q
Shawn, dia ny anareo sy Adrien efa ao amin'ny sasany mahafaly ady, but you’re also both very good boxers also. What is your take on how this is going to play out?
S. Mitafy
I think this fight’s going to go everywhere. You’ve seen me fight. You know that I want to dictate everything. I want to dictate the pace. I want to be the commander in the ring. Dia lazaina, zavatra maro izahay, izay lehibe, and we can box from the outside. There will also be points where we look to move in and get really physical. We’re just going to play it one round at a time and we’ll look to box and also look to punch and put it all together. That’s what you want in a big fight, when you can do so many things and this fight requires you doing so many things. We look to put it all together on Saturday night-the boxing, ny punching, ny tsindry, ny hanoherana, rehetra izany.
Q
Rehefa mijery ny firaketana an-tsoratra Adrien Broner, hitanao izy fa fatiantoka ho Marcos Maidana. Is there anything you’ve learned from that fight with Maidana that you can apply for yourself in your fight with Adrien?
S. Mitafy
Eny. We’ve taken a look at a number of his fights, fa tsy ny ratsy, but also the good. I’m steadily reminding myself not to underestimate him, dia tsy mety raha handeha aho ho avy amin'ny tany, ary manao izay rehetra nataontsika taminy Maidana, and that’s it and I’ll get the win. We look to do so much more than what Maidana did, fa ny fanerena izay Maidana nampihatra izany ady manontolo dia lehibe ary ny zavatra nilainy.
We will look to do some of that. I’ve also taken a look at his earlier fights when he looked really sharp and superb, just to remind myself of what he can do. There were lot of things he didn’t do against Maidana, but there were a lot of things he did do well against some of his other competitors earlier in his career. We look to do a lot of different things this fight. It’s going to take a lot to win this one, ary vonona ho azy.
Q
Nisy zavatra manokana izay efa nianatra, na niova eo amin'ny fomba hatramin'ny tamin'ny taon-dasa ny ady amin'ny Kell Brook?
S. Mitafy
Yes and no. I think with that fight, ny zavatra izay efa niova izahay, ary niasa tamin'ny maro no ho tonga bebe kokoa, isa iray, ara-tsaina ary avy eo dia isa roa, ny fototra. Aho hoe:, isa iray, ny ara-tsaina, satria nisy maro ny zavatra izay nangataka ahy tao an-jorony izay tsy mampiditra mandritra ny lalao. Rehefa tapitra ny andro, Afaka ihany aho mijery ny tenako, and that’s the reason those things didn’t show up. We worked on a lot of mental preparation since that fight, afaka ny tsy mihaino ny zorony sy mampihatra ireo torolalana nandritra ny ady, ary avy eo ny fototra.
There were a lot of things I didn’t do in that fight. I got a little wild at points. Taorian'ny ady, indray mandeha indray izahay, nahazo fiofanana, Niverina izahay ny lalana ho any amin'ny fototra toy ny foana no, fa manao ny kely fanamafisana kokoa ny ara-tsaina lafiny miaraka amin'ny fototra.
Q
Ny ady io Ho Asabotsy alina, tena hetsika, indrindra ny fotoana, ao amin'ny NBC in saika an-trano rehetra ao amin'ny firenena, and it’s going to be televised internationally. Tell us about how that affects you, na dia nanana ady toy izany Marquis.
S. Mitafy
Hainao ve fa, Afaka mampanantena anareo aho izao, this is something that I’ve always envisioned and I’ve always looked forward to. My fight with Julio Diaz, raha nahita voalohany dia tao MGM Grand, I was really excited. Then I was told it was going to be in one of the conference rooms. The whole entire bubble didn’t bust, but a little bit of the air came out. I’ve just always marveled at the crowd, Ahoana mafy ny mahazo, ny jiro, the whole nine. I love every part of the ambiance of a big MGM Grand fight. I’m taking it with a lot of excitement and obviously not over enthused, but I do understand the moment that I’m about to have. The great part about it is it’s a moment that I’ve always wanted, and I’m looking forward to it, ka hitondra azy aho tsy misy olana mihitsy.
Q
Misy legit fankahalana eo aminao sy Adrien?
S. Mitafy
Hainao ve fa, there was no animosity about the weight up until the press conference that we had last week. We had the press conference. We’ve known for weeks now that the contracted weight is supposed to be 144. Here we are doing everything that we need to do as professionals to be on weight, ho eo amin'ny teboka, ho 100%, ary ny zanak'osy, izay nisafidy ny hanao ny fifanarahana, ny lanjan'ny 144, tsy maniry hiresaka momba ny fifanarahana lanjan'ny, tsy maniry hiresaka momba izay rehydration fepetra, te mba hisorohana ny resaka momba mavesatra fetra na zavatra toy izany.
Ny bebe kokoa isika, miresaka momba izany, the more and more the animosity starts to set in because I’m a professional doing what I do. I’ve done it at this high level for so long, ary ny lanja kilasy no 147 for so long. You want to move up into my weight, then move up. Don’t be scared. Don’t be worried. Don’t be afraid. Put your skill on the line along with your record. Put everything on the line. Put it all on the line at 147. Don’t put it at 144 ary avy eo dia tsy te-hiresaka momba azy io.
I’m not going to worry about it. We still maintain our professionalism and come into this fight and this weigh-in the way we’re supposed to. No personal animosity towards Adrien Broner. I know him, fa Izaho no mahalala Azy avy lavitra.
Dia lazaina, izany bebe kokoa foana ny iray, “Hey, ahoana ny fahasalamana?” karazana fifandraisana, tsy misy “Andeha isika hankany amin'ny fikambanana androany hariva” karazana fifandraisana, ary koa, tsy misy “Ahoana no iresahanao ho ahy ianao? Mety ho miady aho ianao indraindray,” relationship. Izany, we’re cool. The night of the fight, isika dia ho fahavalony ho an'ny 12 fihodinana, or however many rounds it lasts. Aorian'izay, Izaho ho iza aho ary ho matihanina ary aoka ny ady totohondry hikarakara ho azy.
Q
Ve izany mahatsapa tsara lanja, na no hitanao Mampiasà Vatana tsara indray hatramin'ny welterweight rehefa afaka izany,?
S. Mitafy
Mazava ho azy izahay nanao hetsika ity noho ny antony, and that was to fight the kid. Aorian'izay, I don’t think there’ll be any other reason for me to move any lower than 147. It’s not going to be a problem this fight, but it’s not something that I want to entertain in the future. I’m a 147-pound fighter, simple as that. Anyone I fight will be a strong 147-pound fighter, not a blown-up 140-pound fighter and not a took-down 154-pounder. We look to fight everyone at their best, ary ny tsara indrindra mandeha ho 144 amin'ny sabotsy.
K. Swanson
Okay. That actually was your last media question, fa handeha aho mba hanontany anareo fanontaniana iray aho, something that I actually shared with Errol Spence too. It’s Father’s Day weekend for the big boxing weekend in Las Vegas. Mino aho fa fantatry ny rehetra amin'ny ady totohondry momba ny akaiky, intimate relationship that the Porters have. I’d like, Shawn, ho anao ny mizara amintsika izay ny dada hoe ho anao, ary inona no mikasa ny Ray ny andro rehefa Sabotsy alina.

Amim-pahatsorana, I’m happy that this fight has come at this time. My dad and I have worked extremely hard together for a very long time doing this sport. What better way to celebrate or wake up and just be proud of what we’ve done the night before, amin'ny maha-fianakaviana, toy ny ekipa? Tena faly aho ny manana ady io ho ny alina talohan'ny andro Ray, ary miandrandra fatratra aho mba ho afaka hifoha ka ho any an-efitra, ary manaraka hifoha ny raiko, ary gaga fotsiny ny zavatra efa natao, mazava ho azy fa, tsy eo amin'ny peratra fa izay ananantsika ankehitriny, toy ny fianakaviana sy ho toy ny ekipa.
Izao tontolo izao Izy dia midika ho ahy, ary fantany fa. I definitely know I mean the world to him. I’ve said this before, ny fitiavana ananantsika, fa mizara, no mitondra fa ny peratra amin'ny tsirairay, and it’s unparalleled. You can’t match it. Izany dia midika hoe be dia be. That makes a difference during the fight.

Okay. I just want to clear up this whole weight issue. It seems that there’s a lot of back and forth about the weight. Both fighters have agreed to fight this fight Saturday at 144 pounds max. I want to be clear with that, 144 pounds max. Both fighters agree upon that. The fans are expecting a great fight, and I think that both fighters will be at their best come Saturday night. Both fighters have had an excellent camp and have prepared to fight at the weight, and both fighters know what to expect from each other. They know each other very well. They both have great strengths, ary Heveriko fa mandeha ho tena mampientam-po avy ady Asabotsy alina.
Gaga be aho tamin'ny Shawn Porter, with what he’s been able to do as a professional. What I like the most about Shawn is his confidence. As a young veteran, he’s willing to get in there with anybody and those are the things that are a rare attribute when what you see with young fighters. A lot of fighters talk the talk, but they’re not willing to step up. Hoy aho hoe Like, one of the most impressive things that I personally admire about Shawn is that he’s willing to get in there with anybody. He’s even called out Floyd Mayweather. He’s willing to get in there with Floyd, and that’s what I like. The guy’s willing to put it on the line, apetraho eo amin'ny tsipika, hanaovana izay takiana mba hanome sakafo ny fianakaviany sy mba hanome ny mpankafy izay tadiaviny.
Tsy andrinay ny Sabotsy alina, ny ady mafy ho an'ny mpankafy. Misaotra anareo rehetra noho ny Tuning in.
