“Pripremio sam se jako naporno za ovu borbu, kao i uvek. Biće to istorijska noć i srećan sam što sam deo te istorije.

 

“Znam da su svi ovdje za Mayweather i Pacquiao, ali još će me milioni vidjeti kako se borim i želim im pokazati ko je Leo Santa Cruz, tako da mogu steći puno više obožavatelja.

 

“”Još sam mlad i ima još puno borbi. Borbe koje navijači žele, mi ćemo im ih dati. Znam da će se to dogoditi.

 

“Želim izgledati spektakularno i želim stvarno brzo izvući Cayetano odatle. Ponekad su ovakvi borci ti koji vam daju najteže borbe jer dolaze gladniji i nemaju šta izgubiti.

 

“Vidjeti moju porodicu ovdje i nositi ih u areni u borbenoj noći za mene je ogromna motivacija. Osjećam se sretnije i opuštenije i spremna sam.

 

“Nikada ne podcenjujem borca. Svaki borac u ringu je opasan. Nadam se da je Cayetano spreman tako da možemo fanovima pružiti odličan nastup.”

 

JOSE CAYETANO
“Znam da je Leo Santa Cruz jak, težak borac, ali ima i slabosti i to smo pripremili, da mu priredim iznenađenje.

“Ja sam čovjek koji prihvata izazove i vrlo se naporno pripremam, Uvijek sam spreman za tu vrstu borbe. Jako sam se pripremio i osjećam se jako da ću pobijediti.

“Došao sam ovdje zbog prilike da pobijedim Lea Santa Cruza i zbog mogućnosti da učestvujem u tako velikom događaju koji je Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.

“Veoma sam srećan i vrlo zahvalan i vrlo uzbuđen što sam ušao u ring. To je velika obaveza, ceo svet će me gledati, ali zato sam prihvatio tuču, Znam da ako ga pobijedim, doći će mi veće i veće mogućnosti.

“Nisam nervozan jer nisam prvi put da sam se suočio sa tvrdim protivnikom. Nikad se nisam suočio sa svjetskim prvakom, ali sam se susreo sa protivnicima koji bacaju snažne udarce, pa nisam nervozan, Uzbuđen sam.”

 

VASYL LOMACHENKO

“Ovo je prilika da pokažem svima za šta sam sposoban i milionima gledalaca da vide da ja to mogu.

 

“Najbolji borci dobivaju najbolje prilike u ringu, ima puno sjajnih boraca koji dobivaju te prilike, uključujući mene.

 

“Uvek je dobar osjećaj kada ljudi govore dobre stvari o tebi.

 

“Veoma sam uzbuđen što sam uključen u ovakav dvoboj poput ovog, Maj 2 biće veliki show prikazan širom svijeta. Veoma sam srećan što sam prvi u meču za ovu veliku borbu.”

 

GAMALIER RODRIGUEZ
“Radujem se ovoj velikoj borbi u subotu. Blagoslov je učestvovati na ovoj vrsti konferencije za štampu i doći Subota, Ja ću pobijediti! Siguran sam u to. Biću prvak.

“Sva pažnja prema Vasyl Lomachenko daje mi motivaciju. Bio sam borac i bokser od malih nogu i dodala me motivacija da izađem na vrh ovog vikenda.

 

“Znam da je Lomachenko dobar i tehnički borac, ali ne uspoređuje se sa mojom gladom i težnjom da budem svjetski prvak.

“Želeo sam da iskoristim priliku tokom svog govora na konferenciji za novinare da svima dam do znanja da se ovde mogu boriti. Bit će to teško vođena bitka i vrlo sam uvjeren da ću ove subote pobijediti i postati prvak”

 

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO Mayweather Promocije

“Tako sam uzbuđen što sam danas ovdje da razgovaram o velikom podcjenjivanju koji će biti uvod u naše dugo očekivane, istorijski događaj koji se održava ove subote uveče.

 

“Vodeća borba za Mayweather vs. Pacquiao će biti vrlo uzbudljiva borba u kojoj će se pojaviti Leo Santa Cruz i Jose Cayetano.

 

“Leo Santa Cruz jedan je od najklasnijih gospoda u sportu. On je borac prijateljski nastrojen i meksički ratnik. On vrlo dobro predstavlja Meksiko.”

 

BOB ARUM, Hall of Fame Promoter, Top Rank

“Znam da svaki borac smatra ogromnom čast biti dijelom ovog velikog događaja. Nadamo se i verujemo da ćemo se predstaviti javnosti kroz Mayweather Promotions i Top Rank, najbolji u boksu i najbolji borci.

 

“Vasyl Lomachenko važi za najvećeg borca ​​amatera svih vremena. Sada, traži iste vrste uspjeha koje je imao kao amater u profesionalnim redovima. Ali ovo će biti vrlo konkurentna borba, jer Gamalier Rodriguez je Portorikanac koji se dolazi boriti i vjeruje da može iznervirati Vasyl.

 

“Mnogi mladići ovdje vjeruju da su sljedeća velika stvar u boksu, a mnogi će biti. Ali znam da će Vasyl Lomachenko biti velika superzvijezda u sportu boksa.”

LAS VEGAS (April 29, 2015) - Floyd "Money" Mayweather i Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao suočen samo treći put Srijeda tokom završne konferencije za štampu za svoje dugoočekivano poluteško ujedinjenje svjetskog prvaka bori se protiv toga Subota, Maj 2, MGM Grand Garden u Arena, uživo uz plaćanje po prikazu.

 

Posljednji put kada su se bokserski superzvezda sastali licem u lice, na konferenciji za novinare u Los Angelesu kako bi se zvanično najavila mega borba na Mart 11. Prvi put su se fotografirali izbliza i lično došli na košarkašku utakmicu u Miami Heat-u u januaru.

 

U željno iščekivanom obračunu u godinama - i najbogatijoj borbi u povijesti boksa — neporaženi i univerzalno priznati br. 1 bokser za kilogram Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs), 11-puta svjetski prvak u pet težinskih divizija, preuzeće borbeni ponos Filipina, Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOs), jedini bokser koji je osvajao svjetske naslove u osam kategorija težine.

 

Evo što su rekli borci i rukovoditelji Srijeda u Kazalištu KÀ na Grand Grand MGM-u:

FLOYD MAYWEATHER

„Jedino što mogu učiniti je uzeti jedan po jedan dan. Kada dođe do borbe, izaći ću tamo i uraditi ono što najbolje radim, a to je izaći i boriti se.

 

„Od početka moje karijere, Uvek sam imao plan igre. Upravo je šah. Izrađujemo proračunate poteze u ringu i van prstena. Dobio sam se s pravom ekipom i okružio se pravim šahovskim komadima.

 

„Mnogo sam mudriji nego što sam nekada bio. Ova se borba prodaje. Naš krajnji cilj bio je doći do ove točke, bilo da je to bio Manny ili neki drugi borac.

 

„Ne oduzimam ništa od Mannyja Pacquiaa. On je solidan borac; solidan takmičar i to će biti intrigantan meč koji dolazi u subotu.

 

„Sve treba vremena, sve je u tajmingu. Drago mi je što smo imali strpljenja i nismo žurili. Vrijeme je sada, ovo je pravo vrijeme za ovu borbu.

 

„Želim zahvaliti svim piscima što su ovdje. Neki su otprilike od moje desete godine, neki su bili ovde zbog mojih 19 godina u ovom sportu. Zahvalan sam svim piscima, da li su priče bile dobre ili loše, vi ste me smatrali relevantnim 19 godina.

 

„Ova borba govori o jednom borcu koji je na vrhu, a bori se o drugom borcu koji je na vrhu. Radi se o tome da vas uzbudite. Ne znamo kako će se odigrati ova borba, ali vjerujem u svoje vještine. Vjerujem da ću pobijediti.

 

„Kada sam išao na trening kamp izuzetno sam se trudio da pobedim u ovoj borbi i prilično sam siguran da je Manny to isto učinio. Zbog toga je ovo intrigantno podudaranje. "

MANNY PACQUIAO

„Nemam predviđanja, ali uzbuđena sam. Uvjeren sam i prvi put osjećam da sam spreman za borbu.

"Tako sam sretna zbog tog osjećaja i tog fokusa koji sam imala prije mnogo godina, is back. Uvjeren sam i opušten.

„Moja ljubav i želja za ovom borbom učinile su me posebno zainteresovanom.

„Želio bih pozvati sve da budemo svjedoci velike borbe između Floyda i mene ove subote.

„Želim ljudima biti primer i inspiracija.

„Pre nego što sam postao bokser, Spavao sam na ulici. Ne mogu vjerovati da sam u tom položaju. Dječak koji nije imao hranu i spavao na ulici može imati život.

„U subotu je naš cilj da učinimo zadovoljne navijače našim nastupom. Obojica ćemo jako raditi na zabavljanju navijača i dobroj borbi.

„Nadam se da ćemo i Floyd i ja dati sve od sebe u subotu i da ćemo svoje ime upisati u istoriju boksa.

„Najvažnija čemu se nadam je da nakon borbe mogu razgovarati sa Floydom o tome da budem inspiracija ljudima širom sveta.“

FLOYD Mayweather SR., Mayweather je Otac & Trener

 

„Šta god da se desi u subotu, to će biti jednostrano. Pacquiao ide spavati.

 

„Ja sam trener, Znam što se događa s borcima. Pacquiao ga nema.

 

„Svi mogu reći ono što žele reći. Već sam to rekao, Pacquiao ne može udarati. Ne brinem zbog toga. Pozvaću ga Floyda da ga spušta. "

 

FREDDIE ROACH, Pacquiao je Trainer

„Kada je ova borba najavljena, Mannyev nivo obuke porastao je. Izuzetno je uzbuđen zbog ove borbe.

 

„Mislim da ćemo doneti odluku i obeležiti ovog tipa. Ako dođe do nokauta, to će biti bonus.

„Mislim da Manny voli biti nedorasli. Volimo povlačiti napade i raditi stvari koje ne bismo trebali da radimo. Manny će biti taj tip.

„Vršićemo veliki pritisak na Floyda. Manny voli razmjenjivati ​​i brzinom svoje ruke, ova će borba ići u našu korist.

„Manny je nepromišljen, ali to je njegov stil. On pokušava pobijediti u borbama i ljudi uživaju u njegovim borbama. Daje sve od sebe i ponekad vas pokucaju, to je dio boksa. "

 

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO Mayweather Promocije

 

„Svetska pažnja i interesovanje za ovaj događaj je neverovatno i Floyd i Manny to zaslužuju.

 

„Las Vegas ima bogatu istoriju domaćin najvećih i najboljih borbi u sportu. Tijekom godina, Floyd Mayweather napravio je MGM svojim domom. Ovo će biti njegovo 11th uzastopna borba na MGM Grand i the 14th u karijeri.

 

„Postoje dva sjajna borca ​​koja će se boriti u subotu navečer, a fokus treba biti na borcima, niko drugi. Fokus je na borcima u subotu navečer.

 

„Maja 2, Floyd se suočio s još jednim ogromnim izazovom u svjetskom prvaku Mannyju Pacquiauu, u borbi koja ceo svet čeka da vidi. Floyd još jednom pokazuje da je najbolji The Ever i znam da će to učiniti u subotu navečer. "

 

BOB ARUM, Hall of Fame Promoter, Top Rank

 

„Ovo je sjajna promocija sa dva velika borca. Nadam se da će ova borba pomoći da se podigne ostatak boksa. Mislim da na osnovu interesovanja za ovu borbu, pojačano je i interesovanje za boks, i to je super.

 

„Ljudi su proveli dosta vremena tokom ovog događaja gledajući Manny-ov voz, ali još važnije, gledajući kako Freddie predaje. Lijepo je vidjeti dva momka na istoj talasnoj dužini, radeći na strategiji, a zatim je razrađujem u ringu. "

 

KEN Hershman, Predsjednik, HBO Sports

 

„Put u ovu borbu bio je izvanredan. Pored sjajnog pisanja i izvještavanja o kojem rade svi mediji, HBO je pripremao sjajne programe za uživanje u borbi za obožavatelje i približio ih sportu.

 

„Jedna važna napomena za sve, molim da naručite plaćanje po prikazu u subotu navečer rano, ili ako je moguće danas ili sutra. Očekujemo da će sustavi narudžbe biti pretrpani.

„Ova dva borca ​​su cijeli život radila na tome da dođu do ovog trenutka.

 

„Floyd i Manny imaju odlične timove. Floyd će vam prvi reći da njegov tim zaslužuje puno zasluga za svoj uspjeh i čuo sam da je Manny rekao vrlo slične stvari.

 

„Ono što ovaj događaj čini tako posebnim i tako istorijskim, je da imamo dva sportaša jednom u generaciji koji će se sastati u ringu otprilike 72 sati. Tako smo ponosni što smo dobili priliku da budemo dio jednog tako očekivanog događaja. “

 

RICHARD STORM, Predsjednik Entertainment & Sport za MGM Resorts International

Young Stars Complement Epic Welterweight Championship Showdown
Between Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao

LAS VEGAS (April 27, 2015) – A full lineup of present and future boxing stars is set to entertain the MGM Grand Garden Arena crowd in pay-per-view and non-televised action before the history-making welterweight showdown between Floyd “Novac” Mayweather i Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao na Subota, Maj 2.

 

The pay-per-view undercard is topped by a pair of fights featuring two of boxing’s most talented and exciting stars as WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion Lav “Zemljotres” Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 KOs) faces Mexican brawler Jose Cayetano (17-3, 8 KOs) and WBO Featherweight World Champion Vasyl Lomachenko (3-1, 1 KO) takes on Puerto Rican contender Gamalier rodriguez (25-2-3, 17 KOs).

 

The pay-per-view telecast will be co-produced and co-distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View® and SHOWTIME PPV® sa početkom u9 poslije podne. I/ 6 poslije podne. PT.

 

Exciting non-televised bouts round out the action in the arena as top undefeated prospects look to keep their perfect records intact.

 

The slick and undefeated Kris “Sweet” Pearson (11-0, 9 KOs) ispunjava Said El Harrak (12-2, 7 KOs) in a 10-round middleweight bout and heavy-fisted Jesse Hart (16-0, 13 KOs) takes on fellow unbeaten Mike Jimenez (17-0, 11 KOs) in a 10-rounder or the NABO, USBA i NABF naslovi srednje težine.

 

An undefeated knockout artist looking to make it 10-for-10, Andrija “The Beast” Tabiti (9-0, 9 KOs) lica Anthony Smith Caputo (15-4, 10 KOs) in an eight- rounds cruiserweight match.

 

Kicking off the night of fights is undefeated contender Brad Solomon (24-0, 9 KOs), ko će se protivila Adrian Rene Granados (13-3, 9 KOs) u 10-okrugli super srednjoj kategoriji bout.

 

“Mayweather Promotions is looking forward to bringing some of boxing’s most exciting current and future stars to the fans on the biggest night in our sport’s history,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promocije. “Whether you are watching on pay-per-view or in the arena, you are in store for an electric night of fights.”

 

“Each undercard match could be a main event on another card,” rekao je Hall of Fame promotor Bob Arum Top Rank. “Fans can watch the exciting action as a warm-up to the most anticipated fight in decades.”

 

Kako je ranije najavljeno, 26-godina Santa Cruz will be making his second appearance on a Floyd Mayweather pay-per-view undercard. The fan-friendly two-division world champion has defended his super bantamweight title numerous times in impressive fashion on his way to earning a reputation as one of the most exciting fighters in the world. Born in Huetamo, Michoaca de Ocampo, Mexico but fighting out of Los Angeles, Santa Cruz won his first world title in 2012. U 2013 he won his super bantamweight title.

 

Fighting out of Tijuana, Baja California, Meksiko, Cayetano okrenuo pro u 2009 and sprinted to a 10-0 record before dropping a narrow split decision to Ruben Tamayo in 2011. He most recently dropped a decision to Enrique Bernache in February after defeating Dennis Contreras and Eden Marquez in his previous two starts. He hopes to make a grand impression in his U.S. debiMaj 2.

 

Arguably the greatest amateur boxer of all-time, with two Olympic gold medals and two Amateur National Championships, 27-godina Lomachenko has already made a great impact in the professional ranks. He won his world title with a majority decision over Gary Russell Jr. prošle godine. Making the second defense of his 126-pound title, the fighter out of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Ukraine will be going for his third straight win overall when he battles Rodriguez.

 

An accomplished veteran from Bayamon, Portoriko, Rodriguez gets an opportunity on boxing’s biggest stage when he battles Lomachenko. The 28-year-old has not lost a fight since 2009 i ima 17 consecutive victories since a technical draw in 2010. He won twice in 2014, picking up a unanimous decision victory over Orlando Cruz and a second round TKO over Martin Cardona.

 

Borba od Philadelphia, Jelen was an accomplished amateur who was a 2012 U.S. Olympic alternate after earning a U.S. National Championship and a National Golden Gloves Championship. The 25-year-old will fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena for the first time since his professional debut in 2005 when he stopped Manuel Eastman in the first round. Ovaj put, he will look to remain undefeated and catapult himself to contender status.

 

Undefeated and facing the biggest challenge of his career, 27-godišnjak Jimenez will make his Las Vegas debut on Maj 2. Having already delivered a second round knockout over Kevin Engel in 2015 the fighter out of Chicago will look to impress on the biggest stage of his career against Hart.

 

A three-time National Golden Gloves Champion, Solomon fights out of Lafayette, Louisiana and is aiming to maintain his perfect record.. The 31-year-old picked up victories in 2014 over Eduardo Flores, Freddy Hernandez and Arman Ovsepyan. Solomon takes on the 25-year-old Granados out of Cicero, Ilinois.

Mayweather-Pacquiao Undercard Update: Sid El Harrak eagerly awaiting Pearson Showdown!

Ostavite komentar

Los Anđeles, KAO ŠTO (April 22, 2015) – In less than two weeks, Sid El Harrak will have the chance to change his life and boxing career when he faces undefeated Chris Pearson as part of the historic Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao card at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

 

To prepare for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, El Harrak’s dedicated all of his time to various aspects of training. From cardio to strength and conditioning, sharpening his skills in the gym and intense sparring sessions, the California based Londoner is covering everything imaginable. Ono što je najvažnije, he believes the grueling training sessions he’s gone through at both Wild Card Boxing Gym locations is already paying off.

 

“It’s very important to have an ample amount of time to train for a fight and that’s not something I’ve had my whole career,"Said El Harrak, koji je 12-2-2 sa 7 pobjeda nokautom. "Psihički, osjećam 100 percent ready to go out there and shine in the biggest fight of my life. I’m still working hard to balance everything out so the world sees the best Sid El Harrak next Saturday."

 

He also loves being considered the underdog against the 11-0 and heavily hyped Pearson.

 

“I have a lot of pride and knowing that I’m coming into this fight as the B-side pushes me that much more. I love the fact that Pearson’s supposed to be “the guy” in this fight. If I fought who he did, I’d be undefeated. Istovremeno, had he faced the opponents I did under the same circumstances, he’d have a few losses. Da budem iskren, I’m sick of thinking about him. This is the most eager I’ve been for a fight in my career and I can’t wait to show everybody what I can do on May 2ND!"

 

The El Harrak-Pearson ten round junior middleweight bout will be televised on various networks throughout the world.

147-POUND WEIGHT CLASS TAKES CENTER STAGE AGAIN ON SATURDAY, MAJ 2 AT THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
In Another Classic Showdown

In The Welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (April 20, 2015) — It has often been said that “as the heavyweight division goes, so goes boxing,” but that has not always been the case and, zapravo, might not even be valid when viewed from a comprehensive perspective dating back to the late 19th century. U Boks, German author Bertram Job’s epic, 420-page coffee-table dissertation on all aspects of the sweet science, he writes that, “Elegance is the trademark of the slim and nimble stars in the under 147-pound weight class that has attracted insiders and admirers of beauty like no other.”

 

And so it is with what will be another benchmark entry in the rich history of the division when, naMaj 2 MGM Grand u u Las Vegasu, uživo uz plaćanje po prikazu, velter šampion Floyd “Novac” Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs) takes on fellow titlist Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 KOs) in a long-anticipated unification showdown that will be the richest prizefight in the sport’s history, and which has drawn comparisons to some of the premier matchups in a weight class imprinted with that elegant trademark to which Job referred.

 

Although Pacquiao, the only fighter ever to win world championships in eight weight classes, and Mayweather, who has reigned in five weight classes, have not campaigned solely or even mostly as welterweights, it is hardly a surprise that the most important intersection of their remarkable careers comes in the same division for which so many of boxing’s greatest legends are primarily known.

 

The “gold standard” to which all welterweights aspire remains the late, great Sugar Ray Robinson. Born Walker Smith Jr., the skinny kid who had never fought in a sanctioned bout at any level was a tag-along with coach George Gainford to an amateur tournament in Kingston, N.Y.. Asked if he had a flyweight he wished to enter, Gainford was about to say no when Smith tugged on his sleeve and said, “I’ll fight.” As it turned out, Gainford had an AAU card – you needed one to be certified as a non-professional – in the name of Ray Robinson, one of his boxers who had given up the sport. Smith/Robinson won a four-round decision, i, although no one knew it then, thus was a legend born.

 

Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur before turning pro at 19 u 1940. Po 1951, he was 128-1-2 sa 84 knockout victories. Although he is also remembered for winning the middleweight title five times, Robinson never lost as a welterweight, winning so often and so emphatically that the legendary trainer, Eddie Futch, was moved to observe that, “He had everything. Boxing skills, probijanje snaga, a great chin, mental strength. There was nothing he couldn’t do.”

 

Robinson also had an outsized ego, which perhaps is a necessary component to any great fighter’s mental makeup. Even a trace of doubt in one’s own ability is not conducive to success in the ring. Once, when asked about his “golf game,” Muhammad Ali, who didn’t play golf, responded, “I’m the best, greatest of ’em all. I just haven’t played yet.”

 

Mayweather certainly brings that aura of invincibility to his work, and maybe not just because he has yet to lose as a professional. U 2013, on je rekao, “Of course I feel unbeatable. I’m the best. I’m not going into any fight figuring that I’m beatable. I want to make a legacy for myself as the greatest fighter who ever entered the ring.”

 

Pacquiao, while perhaps not as verbose, is no less secure in his own belief system. It is those heaping measures of talent and swagger that make Mayweather vs. Pacquiao a must-see event. Which of these outstanding fighters can make the other bend to his will? Who will have his name written in larger print in the big book of welterweights?

 

The International Boxing Hall of Fame has inducted 23 fighters who were, at one time or another, welterweight champions. In addition to Robinson, those whose plaques grace the hallowed hall include Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen Basilio, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Jose Napoles, Curtis Cokes, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Klinac” Lewis and “Mysterious” Billy Smith. Mayweather and Pacquiao are of course assured of joining their ranks as soon as they become eligible to go onto the ballot.

 

The lead-up to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao has generated no shortage of comparisons to past welterweight clashes that are notable for the classic nature of those bouts, the widespread public interest attendant to them, or both.

 

Is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao more likely to be a repeat of, reći, Leonard-Duran I, which Duran won on a rousing unanimous decision on June 25, 1980, u Montrealu? The epic Leonard-Hearns I, na septembar. 16, 1981, which saw Leonard, trailing on the scorecards, rally for a dramatic, 14th-round TKO at Caesars Palace? Trinidad’s controversial majority decision over De La Hoya in their Sept. 18, 1999, unification showdown at the Mandalay Bay? Or will it make its own mark in such a distinctive way that no comparisons can or should be drawn?

 

When it comes to unforgettable welterweight bouts, by now it should be obvious that anything and everything is possible. Mayweather and Pacquiao will make history, and add to it, by attempting to bend destiny each to their own purpose.

What Pacquiao, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum and Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach rekao jeSrijeda:

 

MANNY PACQUIAO, Eight-Division World Champion

 

“I feel very excited for the fight.

 

“I have a lot of sparring partners that are similar to Floyd’s fighting style, we have done well. We know what to expect.

 

“I have watched tape on Floyd to make sure that our strategy and technique in training camp is correct.

 

“My entire career defines my legacy; I have already accomplished great achievements in my career while excelling in different weight divisions. This fight is an additional achievement in my career; it’s the biggest fight in boxing history.

 

“I can say that beating Floyd would be the biggest victory of my career.

 

“More people are interested and informed about this fight now than they would’ve been five years ago.

 

“Style wise, I am the same fighter I was five years ago. My determination, inspiration and killer instinct is the exact same as it was five or six years ago.

 

“Za mene, boxing is my passion. I enjoy boxing and giving honor to my country of the Philippines. My concern is to bring an exciting fight to my fans. My first concern going into every fight is how will be to be able to entertain my fans, give them enjoyment and make them happy.

 

“The reason I am so loved by fans is because of my reckless style of fighting. People like exciting fights with actual punches being thrown.”

 

BOB ARUM, Top Rank CEO

 

“Manny is motivated, he’s ready for the fight. I expect a great performance from him.

 

“It’s a very interesting fight because Floyd is a defensive specialist who has a good right hand and picks off his opponents. He’s an extraordinarily good fighter.

 

“Pacquiao’s strength is speed, particularly his foot speed and the fact that he throws so many punches and attacks from low angles. He really hits harder than Floyd does, so that’s really what it’s going to be about.

 

“Floyd has a different defense than Juan Manuel Marquez. His defense is primarily his shoulder roll. A lot of his defense is geared against a right handed fighter. Uz to, rekao je, I think Manny is going to surprise a lot of people with how he is going to be able to reach Floyd.

 

“I would say Manny is more motivated for this fight than any other fight I’ve seen him prepare for.

 

“I’m looking forward to Maj 2. I love Manny’s chances of winning, that’s the main thing. He looks great, he’s motivated, no nonsense, and I think he’s going to put on a performance for the ages. It’s going to be hard for him to top his performance against Oscar De La Hoya, but I think he will in this fight.”


FREDDIE ROACH, Pacquiao’s Hall of Fame Trainer

 

“We have a great idea of when and where we are going to attack Mayweather.

 

“This fight was five years in the making. Promoters should realize that these types of fights are what’s best for boxing and we should have more fights like this. I’m not surprised by the hype surrounding the fight.

 

“Manny has really raised the bar in this training camp. He’s a different Manny Pacquiao than I have seen him going into previous training camps. He is punching so much harder in training for this camp.

 

“Manny is better than ever, his attitude is different and I’ve never seen him work this hard. His speed is faster, his punches are harder. I’m really happy where he’s at. His legs look great; he’s on his toes all the time.

 

“Mayweather is a good counter-puncher, but Manny has faster hands and his combinations are better than Floyd’s.

 

“Both fighters have great experience, so I don’t believe that will be a factor in the fight. The biggest thing is that each fighter comes in with a different style. Floyd is a counter-puncher but Manny must be the one to enforce the fight.

 

“I believe that Manny being a southpaw will be a factor in this fight. Manny showed me tape of Floyd fighting a southpaw and told me that that is exactly what we are going to do in this fight.

 

“I can tell how much this fight means to Manny because he has watched tape on Floyd. Manny has never watched tape on any fighter before.

 

“Since Manny moved to 147 he hasn’t knocked many guys out, so getting the knockout in this fight isn’t a concern for me. If Manny fights at 140, then he does knock guys out, but at this weight he is fighting guys who are bigger than him.

 

“Floyd may be a bigger guy, but we will still win the fight.

 

“This fight is much bigger than when Manny fought Oscar De La Hoya. Manny is a different person going into this fight. He hit me so hard the other day that I believe it’s the hardest I’ve ever been hit by a fighter who I’m training.

 

“I don’t believe that Floyd ever wanted this fight, he was forced to take it by the public and the media. I wouldn’t be surprised if Floyd pulled out now.”
