“Ahau rite ki te whawhai tetahi hea ahau tonu,” 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 pauna a ka mohio ahau ki anō te taimaha e hanga atu kaha i ahau. I fought Francisco Santana at 152 pauna, me te anake tona mate KO i hoatu ki a ia. Ahau rawa kaha, he hāneanea i taua taimaha. I know I would give Floyd all he can handle. Toku kaiwhakangungu 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.”

 

Whakatakotoria he hoki Mahuru 12, 2015, Mayweather will fight an opponent TBA at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Mayfield, haere ki Andre Berto (30-3, 23 Koó) He whawhai whakahuatia Floyd Mayweather kua rite hoariri pūmanawa. Karim feels he’s the better option.

Berto has two losses against opponent’s Floyd has already defeated. I’ve never been dropped, aki maru ranei i roto i tetahi o toku whawhai. Kawea mai e ahau i te kāhua taratara ki tenei whawhai, he kāhua te pā e hiahia ana kia kite Floyd ake ki. I tua atu, 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, ko wai e motuhake, 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.”

Ahau nūpepa e whiua 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. Kua kaukau te rota o whawhai ki ahau, no te mea ahau he riri nui ki tetahi.”

“Whakaaro ahau te reira te wa mo nga pā kia kite Floyd hoatu i te brotha he pere.” Mutu Mayfield. “Shane Mosley a Zab Hura gave Floyd a run for his money. I feel I can do the same but come out victorious.”
