SAN FRANCISCO, F.EKS (Juli 6, 2015) – After pound for pound king Floyd “Penge” Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOS) nævnte Karim “Hård Find” Mayfield (19-2-1, 11 KOS) som en af ​​sine mulige modstandere til hans sidste kontrakt kæmpe med Showtime, San Francisco indfødte siger er klar til at træde op og give Mayweather sit første tab.

 

“Jeg er altid parat til at kæmpe alle overalt,” 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 pounds og jeg ved den ekstra vægt ville gøre mig mere kraftfuld. I fought Francisco Santana at 152 pounds og gav ham hans eneste KO tab. Jeg er meget kraftfulde og komfortabel på at vægten. I know I would give Floyd all he can handle. Min træner 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.”

 

Sæt til September 12, 2015, Mayweather will fight an opponent TBA at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Mayfield, sammen med Andre Berto (30-3, 23 KOS) er krigere Floyd Mayweather har nævnt som potentielle modstandere. Karim feels he’s the better option.

 

“Ingen respekt til Andre Berto, han er en god fighter, og vi har en gensidig respekt for hinanden, men han er ikke så holdbare som jeg er. Berto has two losses against opponent’s Floyd has already defeated. I’ve never been dropped, voldsramte eller forslået i nogen af ​​mine kampe. Jeg bringer et groft stil til denne kamp, en stil fansene ønsker at se Floyd op imod. Desuden, 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, der er uafhængige, 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), Hvem har været tigger om at kæmpe Mayweather siden 2014, is another fighter campaigning to fight Mayweather. After sparring Khan on numerous occasions, Mayfield føler Amir er en lettere kamp.

 

“Hver gang jeg sparred Amir Khan på Virgil Hunters gym, Jeg lagde hænderne på ham,” Mayfield erklærede. “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, Anthony Margarito og Danny Garcia at nævne et par, 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.

 

“Ingen kan benægte mit hjerte og vilje til at kæmpe det bedste,” Mayfield fortsatte. “Jeg har været i ringen med alle. Jeg trygt slog 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. En masse af krigere har undvige mig, fordi jeg er en alvorlig trussel mod nogen.”

 

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, Mexican, Argentinsk, Filippinsk eller Puerto Rican.

 

“Jeg tror, ​​det er tid for fans at se Floyd giver en brotha et skud.” Mayfield konkluderede. “Shane Mosley og Zab Judah gave Floyd a run for his money. I feel I can do the same but come out victorious.”
