SAN FRANCISCO, TANKOU (Jiyè 6, 2015) – After pound for pound king Floyd “Lajan” Mayweather (48-0, 26 Ko) mentioned Karim “Hard Jwenn” Mayfield (19-2-1, 11 Ko) kòm youn nan opozan sa posib li pou final li kontrakte goumen ak chotim, natif natal nan San Francisco di se pare yo mete kanpe ak bay Mayweather premye pèdi l '.

 

“Mwen se toujou pare al goumen nenpòt moun nenpòt kote,” Di 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 liv e mwen konnen pwa siplemantè a ta fè m 'plis pouvwa anpil. I fought Francisco Santana at 152 liv e li te bay l 'sèlman KO pèdi l'. Mwen trè pwisan ak konfòtab nan ke pwa. I know I would give Floyd all he can handle. Antrenè mwen 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.”

 

Fikse pou Septanm 12, 2015, Mayweather will fight an opponent TBA at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Mayfield, ansanm ak Andre Berto (30-3, 23 Ko) yo avyon de gè Floyd Mayweather te mansyone kòm opozan potansyèl. Karim feels he’s the better option.

 

“Pa gen mank respè Andre Berto, li se yon avyon de gè bon ak nou gen yon respè youn pou lòt youn pou lòt, men li la pa tankou dirab jan mwen menm mwen. Berto has two losses against opponent’s Floyd has already defeated. I’ve never been dropped, bat oswa panche nan nenpòt nan batay m '. Mwen pral mennen yon style ki graj sa a batay, yon style fanatik yo vle wè Floyd atake. Anplis de sa, 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, ki moun ki yo endepandan, 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 Ko), ki moun ki nan te t'ap mande charite yo goumen Mayweather depi 2014, is another fighter campaigning to fight Mayweather. After sparring Khan on numerous occasions, Mayfield santi l Amir se yon batay pi fasil.

 

“Chak fwa mwen sparred Amir Khan nan Virgil chasè a jimnastik, Mwen mete men sou li,” Mayfield deklare. “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 ak Danny Garcia nan non yon kèk, 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.

 

“Pa gen moun ki ka refize kè m 'ak detèminasyon al goumen pi bon an,” Mayfield kontinye. “Mwen te bag la ak tout moun. Mwen Sensèman bat 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 Zo with only one day notice. Te Yon anpil nan avyon de gè te plane m 'paske mwen se yon menas grav nan nenpòt ki moun.”

 

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, Meksiken, Ajantin, Filipino oswa Pòtoriken.

 

“Mwen panse ke li nan tan pou fanatik yo yo wè Floyd bay yon Brotha yon piki.” Mayfield konkli. “Shane Mosley ak Zab Jida gave Floyd a run for his money. I feel I can do the same but come out victorious.”
