Εδώ είναι τι είπαν οι μαχητές και τα στελέχη Πέμπτη at the Copperfield Theater at the MGM Grand:

LEO Σάντα Κρουζ

I’m more than excited to be on this undercard. This is the biggest card I could have been on. I want to show the whole world who I am.

 

I prepared very hard for this fight, like I always do. It’s going to be a historic night and I’m happy to be a part of that history.

 

I know that everybody is here for Mayweather and Pacquiao but there will still be millions seeing me fight and I want to show them who Leo Santa Cruz is so that I can get a lot more fans.

 

“”I’m still young and there are many more fights to come. The fights the fans want, we’re going to give it to them. I know those fights are going to happen.

 

I want to look spectacular and I want to get Cayetano out of there really fast. Sometimes these kind of fighters are the ones who give you the hardest fights because they come hungrier and have nothing to lose.

 

Seeing my family here and having them in the arena on fight night is a huge motivation for me. I feel happier and more relaxed and I’m ready.

 

I never underestimate a fighter. Any fighter in the ring is dangerous. I hope that Cayetano is ready so that we can give the fans a great show.

 

JOSE CAYETANO
I know that Leo Santa Cruz is a strong, difficult fighter but he also has weaknesses and that is what we prepared for, to give him a surprise.

I’m a man that takes challenges and I’ve been preparing very hard, I’m always prepared for these types of fights. I’m very prepared and I feel very strongly that I will win.

I came here for the opportunity to beat Leo Santa Cruz and for the opportunity to participate in such a grand event that is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.

I’m very happy and very grateful and very excited to get into the ring. It’s a huge commitment, the entire world will be watching me but that is why I accepted the fight, I know that if I beat him, bigger and better opportunities will come my way.

I’m not nervous because it’s not the first time that I’ve faced a tough opponent. I’ve never faced a world champion but I’ve faced opponents that throw hard punches, so I’m not nervous, I’m excited.

 

VASYL LOMACHENKO

This is an opportunity to show everyone what I’m capable of doing and for millions of viewers to see that I can do it.

 

The best fighters get the best opportunities in the ring, there are a lot of great fighters getting those opportunities including myself.

 

It’s always a good feeling when people are saying good things about you.

 

I’m very excited to be involved in a bout such as this one, Μάιος 2 will be a big show shown around the world. I’m very happy to be in the opening bout for this huge fight.

 

GAMALIER RODRIGUEZ
I’m looking forward to this big fight Σάββατο. It’s a blessing to participate in this type of press conference and come Σάββατο, Θα κερδίσει! I’m sure of it. I will be champion.

All of the attention toward Vasyl Lomachenko gives me motivation. I’ve been a fighter and a boxer since I was young and it’s added motivation to come out on top this weekend.

 

I know that Lomachenko is a good and technical fighter but it doesn’t compare to my hunger and drive to be world champion.

I wanted to take the opportunity during my speech at the press conference to let everyone know that I can here to fight. It’s going to be a hard fought battle and I’m very confident that I’ll win and become the champion this Saturday.

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος της Mayweather Προσφορές

I am so excited to be here today to discuss the great undercard which will be the lead-in to our long awaited, history making event taking place this Saturday night.

 

The lead-in fight for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao will be a very exciting fight featuring Leo Santa Cruz and Jose Cayetano.

 

Leo Santa Cruz is one of the classiest gentleman in the sport. He’s a very fan-friendly fighter and a Mexican warrior. He represents Mexico very well.

 

BOB ARUM, Hall of Fame υποστηρικτή, Top Κατάταξη

I know that every fighter deems it a tremendous honor to be part of this great event. We hope and believe that we will be presenting to the public through Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank, the best of boxing and the best fighters.

 

Vasyl Lomachenko is considered to be the greatest amateur fighter of all time. Τώρα, he looks for the same type of success he had as an amateur in the professional ranks. But this will be a very competitive fight, because Gamalier Rodriguez is a Puerto Rican who comes to fight and believes that he can upset Vasyl.

 

A lot of the young men up here believe they are the next big thing in boxing, and many will be. But I know that Vasyl Lomachenko will be a big superstar in the sport of boxing.

Η τελευταία φορά που οι σούπερ σταρ του μποξ συναντήθηκαν πρόσωπο με πρόσωπο ήταν στη συνέντευξη Τύπου του Λος Άντζελες για να ανακοινώσει επίσημα τον μεγάλο αγώνα Μάρτιος 11. Την πρώτη φορά που φωτογραφήθηκαν από κοντά και προσωπικά ήρθαν σε ένα παιχνίδι μπάσκετ Miami Heat τον Ιανουάριο.

 

Στην πιο αναμενόμενη αναμέτρηση εδώ και χρόνια - και τον πλουσιότερο αγώνα στην ιστορία του μποξ — το αήττητο και παγκοσμίως αναγνωρισμένο Νο. 1 μπόξερ Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs), 11-παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής σε πέντε κατηγορίες βάρους, θα πάρει την υπερηφάνεια των Φιλιππίνων, Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOs), ο μόνος μπόξερ που κατέλαβε παγκόσμιους τίτλους σε οκτώ τάξεις βάρους.

 

Εδώ είναι τι είπαν οι μαχητές και τα στελέχη Τετάρτη στο θέατρο KÀ στο MGM Grand:

FLOYD MAYWEATHER

«Το μόνο πράγμα που μπορώ να κάνω είναι να το πάρω μία μέρα τη φορά. Όταν ο αγώνας φτάσει εδώ, θα πάω εκεί έξω και θα κάνω ό, τι κάνω καλύτερα και θα βγω και θα πολεμήσω.

 

«Από την αρχή της καριέρας μου, Είχα πάντα ένα σχέδιο παιχνιδιού. Είναι σαν το σκάκι. Κάνουμε υπολογισμένες κινήσεις στον δακτύλιο και έξω από τον δακτύλιο. Πήρα με τη σωστή ομάδα και περικυκλώθηκα με τα σωστά πιόνια.

 

«Είμαι πολύ σοφότερος από ό, τι κάποτε. Αυτός ο αγώνας πωλείται. Ο απώτερος στόχος μας ήταν να φτάσουμε σε αυτό το σημείο, είτε ήταν ο Μάνυ είτε άλλος μαχητής.

 

«Δεν παίρνω τίποτα μακριά από τον Manny Pacquiao. Είναι ένας συμπαγής μαχητής; ένας συμπαγής ανταγωνιστής και θα είναι ένα συναρπαστικό ματς το Σάββατο.

 

«Όλα χρειάζονται χρόνο, έχει να κάνει με το χρονοδιάγραμμα. Χαίρομαι που είχαμε υπομονή και δεν βιαζόμασταν. Η ώρα είναι τώρα, αυτή είναι η κατάλληλη στιγμή για αυτόν τον αγώνα.

 

«Θέλω να ευχαριστήσω όλους τους συγγραφείς που ήταν εδώ. Μερικοί ήταν από τότε που ήμουν 10 χρονών, Μερικοί ήταν εδώ για το δικό μου 19 χρόνια σε αυτό το άθλημα. Είμαι ευγνώμων για όλους τους συγγραφείς, αν οι ιστορίες ήταν καλές ιστορίες ή κακές, εσείς με κρατήσατε σχετικά 19 χρόνια.

 

«Αυτός ο αγώνας αφορά έναν μαχητή που βρίσκεται στην κορυφή, έναν άλλο μαχητή που είναι στην κορυφή. Έχει να σας δώσει ενθουσιασμό. Δεν γνωρίζουμε πώς θα διεξαχθεί αυτός ο αγώνας, αλλά πιστεύω στις ικανότητές μου. Πιστεύω ότι θα νικήσω.

 

«Όταν πήγα στο στρατόπεδο προπόνησης, δούλεψα πολύ σκληρά για να κερδίσω αυτόν τον αγώνα και είμαι πολύ σίγουρος ότι ο Manny έκανε το ίδιο. Αυτός είναι ο λόγος για τον οποίο είναι ένας συναρπαστικός συνδυασμός. "

MANNY PACQUIAO

"Δεν έχω πρόβλεψη, αλλά είμαι ενθουσιασμένος. Είμαι σίγουρος και νιώθω για πρώτη φορά ότι είμαι έτοιμος για τον αγώνα.

"Είμαι τόσο χαρούμενος γιατί αυτό το συναίσθημα και η εστίαση που είχα πριν από πολλά χρόνια, είναι πίσω. Είμαι σίγουρος και χαλαρός.

«Η αγάπη και η επιθυμία μου για αυτόν τον αγώνα με έκανε να ενδιαφέρομαι ιδιαίτερα.

«Θα ήθελα να καλέσω όλους να παρακολουθήσουν τη μεγάλη μάχη μεταξύ Floyd και εγώ αυτό το Σάββατο.

«Θέλω να είμαι παράδειγμα και έμπνευση για τους ανθρώπους.

«Πριν γίνω μπόξερ, Συνήθιζα να κοιμάμαι στο δρόμο. Δεν μπορώ να πιστέψω ότι είμαι σε αυτήν τη θέση. Το αγόρι που δεν είχε φαγητό και κοιμόταν στο δρόμο μπορεί να έχει αυτή τη ζωή.

«Το Σάββατο στόχος μας είναι να κάνουμε τους θαυμαστές ευχαριστημένους με την απόδοσή μας. Και οι δύο θα εργαστούμε πολύ σκληρά για να διασκεδάσουμε τους θαυμαστές και να δώσουμε έναν καλό αγώνα.

«Ελπίζω ότι τόσο ο Floyd όσο και το κάνουμε το καλύτερο για το Σάββατο και να βάλουμε το όνομά μας στην ιστορία της πυγμαχίας.

"Το πιο σημαντικό πράγμα που ελπίζω είναι ότι μετά τον αγώνα μπορώ να μιλήσω με τον Floyd για να γίνω έμπνευση για ανθρώπους σε όλο τον κόσμο."

Floyd Mayweather SR., Πατέρα του Mayweather & Προπονητής

 

«Ό, τι συμβαίνει το Σάββατο, θα είναι μονόπλευρη. Ο Pacquiao πρόκειται να κοιμηθεί.

 

«Είμαι εκπαιδευτής, Ξέρω τι συμβαίνει με τους μαχητές. Το Pacquiao δεν το έχει.

 

«Όλοι μπορούν να πουν τι θέλουν να πουν. Το έχω πει πριν, Το Pacquiao δεν μπορεί να τρυπήσει. Δεν ανησυχώ για αυτό. Θα ζητήσω από τον Floyd να τον περπατήσει. "

 

Freddie Roach, Εκπαιδευτής του Pacquiao

«Όταν ανακοινώθηκε αυτός ο αγώνας, Το επίπεδο προπόνησης του Manny ανέβηκε πολύ. Είναι πραγματικά ενθουσιασμένος για αυτόν τον αγώνα.

 

«Νομίζω ότι θα κερδίσουμε μια απόφαση και θα επισημάνουμε αυτόν τον τύπο. Εάν έρθει το νοκ-άουτ τότε αυτό θα είναι ένα μπόνους.

«Νομίζω ότι ο Μάνι αρέσει να είναι το αουτσάιντερ. Μας αρέσει να κάνουμε αναστάτωση και να κάνουμε πράγματα που δεν πρέπει να κάνουμε. Ο Μάνι θα είναι αυτός ο τύπος.

«Θα ασκήσουμε μεγάλη πίεση στον Floyd. Ο Manny του αρέσει να ανταλλάσσει και με την ταχύτητα του χεριού του, αυτός ο αγώνας θα είναι υπέρ μας.

«Ο Μάνι είναι απερίσκεπτος, αλλά αυτό είναι το στυλ του. Προσπαθεί να κερδίσει αγώνες και οι άνθρωποι απολαμβάνουν τους αγώνες του. Το δίνει όλα και μερικές φορές χτυπάς, αυτό είναι μέρος του μποξ. "

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος της Mayweather Προσφορές

 

«Η παγκόσμια προσοχή και το ενδιαφέρον σε αυτήν την εκδήλωση ήταν απίστευτη και οι Floyd και Manny το αξίζουν.

«Υπάρχουν δύο μεγάλοι μαχητές που θα πολεμούν το Σάββατο το βράδυ και η εστίαση πρέπει να είναι στους μαχητές, κανένας άλλος. Η εστίαση είναι στους μαχητές το Σάββατο βράδυ.

 

"Το Μάιο 2, Ο Floyd αντιμετωπίζει μια άλλη τεράστια πρόκληση στον συμπατριώτη παγκόσμιο πρωταθλητή Manny Pacquiao, σε έναν αγώνα που περιμένει ολόκληρος ο κόσμος να δει. Για άλλη μια φορά ο Floyd είναι έξω για να αποδείξει ότι είναι ο καλύτερος ποτέ και ξέρω ότι θα το Σάββατο το βράδυ. "

 

BOB ARUM, Hall of Fame υποστηρικτή, Top Κατάταξη

 

«Αυτή είναι μια υπέροχη προσφορά με δύο υπέροχους μαχητές. Ελπίζω ότι αυτός ο αγώνας θα βοηθήσει να ανεβάσει το υπόλοιπο της πυγμαχίας. Νομίζω με βάση το ενδιαφέρον σε αυτόν τον αγώνα, Υπάρχει επίσης αυξημένο ενδιαφέρον για την πυγμαχία, και αυτό είναι υπέροχο.

 

«Οι άνθρωποι έχουν περάσει πολύ χρόνο κατά τη διάρκεια αυτής της εκδήλωσης παρακολουθώντας τρένο Manny, αλλά το πιο σημαντικό, βλέποντας τον Freddie να διδάσκει. Είναι υπέροχο να βλέπεις δύο παιδιά στο ίδιο μήκος κύματος, δουλεύοντας πάνω στη στρατηγική και μετά δουλεύοντας στο δαχτυλίδι. "

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

Λος Άντζελες, ΟΠΩΣ (Απρίλιος 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. Το πιο σημαντικό, 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,"Είπε ο Ελ Harrak, ο οποίος είναι 12-2-2 με 7 κερδίζει με νοκ-άουτ. "Διανοητικά, νιώθω 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. Συγχρόνως, had he faced the opponents I did under the same circumstances, he’d have a few losses. Για να είμαι ειλικρινής, 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 2ΝΔ!"

 

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, ΜΑΪΟΣ 2 AT THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
In Another Classic Showdown

In The Welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (Απρίλιος 20, 2015) — It has often been said thatas the heavyweight division goes, so goes boxing,” but that has not always been the case and, όντως, might not even be valid when viewed from a comprehensive perspective dating back to the late 19ου αιώνας. Σε Πυγμαχία, 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, επίΜάιος 2 στο MGM Grand στο Λας Βέγκας, ζουν σε pay-per-view, welterweight πρωτοπόρος Floyd “Χρήματα” Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs) takes on fellow titlist Μάνι “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.

 

Ο “gold standardto 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, Ν.Υ.. 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 cardyou needed one to be certified as a non-professionalin the name of Ray Robinson, one of his boxers who had given up the sport. Smith/Robinson won a four-round decision, και, although no one knew it then, thus was a legend born.

 

Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur before turning pro at 19 σε 1940. Με 1951, he was 128-1-2 με 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, δύναμη διάτρησης, 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 hisgolf 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. Σε 2013, είπε, “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, Τόμας Χερνς, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Τρινιδάδ, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen Basilio, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Χοσέ Napoles, Curtis Cokes, Barney Ross, Kid Γκαβιλάν, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Μίκυ Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Τζακ Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Παιδί” Lewis andMysteriousBilly 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, λένε, Leonard-Duran I, which Duran won on a rousing unanimous decision on June 25, 1980, στο Μόντρεαλ? The epic Leonard-Hearns I, για Σεπτέμβριο. 16, 1981, which saw Leonard, trailing on the scorecards, rally for a dramatic, 14ου-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.

Πάνω από 300 media from around the globe flocked to Wild Card Boxing Club to ask the trio about Pacquiao’s Μάιος 2 welterweight world championship unification battle against undefeatedFLOYD “Χρήματα” MAYWEATHER JR. (47-0, 26 KOs), στο MGM Grand Garden Arena στο Λας Βέγκας.

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

 

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.

 

“Για μένα, 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. Με αυτόν εν λόγω, 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.

 

“Ανυπομονώ να Μάιος 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.
