I-SAN FRANCISCO, NJENGE (July 6, 2015) – After pound for pound king Floyd “Imali” Mayweather (48-0, 26 Kos) mentioned Karim “Thola Hard” Mayfield (19-2-1, 11 Kos) njengoba omunye izimbangi zakhe nokwenzeka lokugcina yakhe izinkontileka alwe Showtime, nowokuzalwa San Francisco uthi ukulungele ukwandisa futhi anikeze Mayweather ukulahlekelwa yakhe yokuqala.

 

“Ngihlale ilungela ukulwa ubani kuphi,” 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 amakhilogremu ngiyamazi isisindo extra kuzongenza ezinamandla angaphezu. I fought Francisco Santana at 152 amakhilogremu wamnika nokulahlekelwa kwakhe kuphela KO. Ngikhathazekile enamandla kakhulu futhi zikhululekile ngaleso isisindo. I know I would give Floyd all he can handle. Trainer My 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.”

 

Asibekela September 12, 2015, Mayweather will fight an opponent TBA at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Mayfield, kanye Andre Berto (30-3, 23 Kos) kukhona fighters uFloyd Mayweather ukhulumile njengoba izimbangi abangahle. Karim feels he’s the better option.

 

“No lokwedelela Andre Berto, yena ukulwa okuhle futhi sinawo sihloniphane komunye nomunye, kodwa hhayi njengoba okuhlala njengokuba nami ngilingisa. Berto has two losses against opponent’s Floyd has already defeated. I’ve never been dropped, oshaywayo noma elimala kunoma iyiphi ukulwa yami. Ngiletha isitayela anolaka kule impi, isitayela abalandeli bafuna ukubona Floyd ukuzolwa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, 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, abangamalungu ezimele, 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), ngubani Kuye encenga ukulwa Mayweather kusukela 2014, is another fighter campaigning to fight Mayweather. After sparring Khan on numerous occasions, Mayfield uzizwa Amir kuyinto impi lula.

 

“Njalo I sparred Amir Khan at Virgil Hunter sika gym, Ngabeka izandla phezu kwakhe,” Mayfield wamemezela. “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 futhi Danny Garcia sibala ezimbalwa, 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.

 

“Akekho ongaphika inhliziyo yami nokuzimisela ukulwa the best,” Mayfield waqhubeka. “Ingihlabe the indandatho wonke umuntu. I ubuthongo ishaye 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 lot of fighters ziye ducked kimi ngoba ngingumKristu usongo olukhulu kunoma ubani.”

 

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, Argentinean, Rica Filipino noma Puerto.

 

“Ngicabanga ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuba abalandeli ukubona Floyd ukunikeza Brotha a shot.” Mayfield waphetha. “Shane Mosley futhi Zab uJuda gave Floyd a run for his money. I feel I can do the same but come out victorious.”
