SAN FRANCISCO, KAO ŠTO (Juli 6, 2015) – After pound for pound king Floyd “Novac” Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs) mentioned Karim “Hard Pronađite” Mayfield (19-2-1, 11 KOs) kao jedan od njegovih mogućih protivnika za svoj konačni ugovorene boriti Showtime, San Francisco native kaže spreman da pojača i dati Mayweather svoj prvi gubitak.

 

“Ja sam uvijek spreman za borbu protiv bilo koga bilo gdje,” Said Karim Mayfield. “The fact that the great Floyd Mayweather has mentioned me as someone he wants to fight in September is music to my ears. It would be an honor to fight Floyd in Las Vegas. He’s done a lot for the sport and he’s arguably the best fighter to ever lace em up. My last few fights have been at 140 funte i znam da je višak kilograma bi me moćniji. I fought Francisco Santana at 152 funti i dao mu samo KO gubitak. Ja sam vrlo moćan i udoban na toj težini. I know I would give Floyd all he can handle. Moj trener Ben Bautista and I have a game plan we know will be successful against Mayweather. I’d give Floyd his first loss in a highly explosive fight.”

 

Set za Septembar 12, 2015, Mayweather will fight an opponent TBA at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Mayfield, zajedno sa Andre Berto (30-3, 23 KOs) su borci Floyd Mayweather je spominje kao potencijalni protivnici. Karim feels he’s the better option.

 

“Nema poštovanja prema Andre Berto, on je dobar borac i imamo uzajamno poštovanje jedno za drugo, ali on nije toliko izdržljiv kao ja. Berto has two losses against opponent’s Floyd has already defeated. I’ve never been dropped, zlostavljane ili modricama na bilo koji od mojih borbe. Donosim grubi stil na ovu borbu, stil navijači žele vidjeti Floyd protiv. Dodatno, the Bay Area is a big media market and I know all my fans here would rise up and support me. My brother La Ron and I, koji su nezavisni, sold out my last fight in San Francisco. I’m confident we can bring a big crowd to Las Vegas. It’s only an hour fight away.”

 

Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs), ko je moli da se bori protiv Mayweather od 2014, is another fighter campaigning to fight Mayweather. After sparring Khan on numerous occasions, Mayfield smatra Amir je lakše borba.

 

“Svaki put kad sparirali Amir Khan u Virgil Hunter teretana, Stavio sam ruke na njega,” Mayfield proglasio. “So bad that Virgil had to stop the sparring sessions. Khan has also been brutally knocked out twice by Prescott and Garcia. The man has no chin and he wouldn’t last twelve rounds with Money Mayweather. He’s definitely the safer route.”

 

Mayfield, who’s been in camp with Manny Pacquiao, Antonio Margarito i Danny Garcia da navedemo samo neke, has all the experience needed to give the fans an entertaining fight. He’s beaten many undefeated fighters and has a unanimous decision win against Mauricio Herrera.

 

“Niko ne može poreći moje srce i odlučnost da se bore najbolji,” Mayfield je nastavio. “Bio sam prsten sa svima. Ja čvrsto tukao Herrera, I whooped Pacquiao and Khan in sparring. Shawn Porter refused to step in the ring when he had the choice to fight me or Erick Bone with only one day notice. Mnogo boraca me sagnuo jer sam ozbiljnu prijetnju nikome.”

 

Mayfield feels the fans want to see Floyd Mayweather give an African-American fighter a chance to dethrone him. Mayweather’s last seven opponents have been either, Meksikanac, Argentinac, Filipinski ili Portorikanski.

 

“Mislim da je vrijeme za fanove da vide Floyd dati Brotha injekciju.” Mayfield je zaključio. “Shane Mosley i Zab Judah gave Floyd a run for his money. I feel I can do the same but come out victorious.”
