SAN FRANCISCO, EINS (Júlí 6, 2015) – After pound for pound king Floyd “Peningar” Mayweather (48-0, 26 Kos) mentioned Karim “Hard Find” Mayfield (19-2-1, 11 Kos) eins og einn af mögulegum andstæðingum sínum fyrir endanleg hans dróst berjast með Showtime, San Francisco innfæddur segir er tilbúinn til að stíga upp og gefa Mayweather fyrsta tap hans.

 

“Ég er alltaf tilbúinn til að berjast neinum neitt,” 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 pund og ég veit að auka þyngd myndi gera mig öflugur meira. I fought Francisco Santana at 152 £ og gaf honum aðeins KO tjón sitt. Ég er mjög öflug og þægilegt á þeim þyngd. I know I would give Floyd all he can handle. Þjálfari minn 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.”

 

Setja í September 12, 2015, Mayweather will fight an opponent TBA at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Mayfield, ásamt Andre Berto (30-3, 23 Kos) eru bardagamenn Floyd Mayweather hefur nefnd sem hugsanleg andstæðinga. Karim feels he’s the better option.

 

“Engin vanvirðing til Andre Berto, hann er góður bardagamaður og við höfum gagnkvæma virðingu fyrir hvert öðru, en hann er ekki eins varanlegur eins og ég er. Berto has two losses against opponent’s Floyd has already defeated. I’ve never been dropped, battered eða hnjaski í hvaða átök mínum. Ég koma með grófa stíl við þessa baráttu, stíl aðdáendur vilja sjá Floyd upp á móti. Að auki, 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, sem eru óháðir, 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), sem hefur verið betl að berjast Mayweather síðan 2014, is another fighter campaigning to fight Mayweather. After sparring Khan on numerous occasions, Mayfield finnst Amir er auðveldara berjast.

 

“Í hvert skipti sem ég sparred Amir Khan á Virgil Hunter er Líkamsrækt, Ég setti hendur á hann,” Mayfield lýst. “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 og Danny Garcia til að nefna nokkrar, 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.

 

“Enginn getur neitað hjarta mitt og þor til að berjast við besta,” Mayfield áfram. “Ég hef verið að hringurinn með alla. Ég vann fast 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. A einhver fjöldi af bardagamenn hafa ducked mig vegna þess að ég er alvarleg ógnun við neinn.”

 

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, Argentínska, Filipino eða Puerto Rican.

 

“Ég held að það er kominn tími fyrir aðdáendur að sjá Floyd gefa brotha skot.” Mayfield gerðir. “Shane Mosley og Zab Júda gave Floyd a run for his money. I feel I can do the same but come out victorious.”
