Kelly Swanson

Thanks everyone for calling in. We have an exciting conference call today to talk about an unbelievable boxing weekend coming up in Las Vegas. We’re going to hear more about that from Leonard Ellerbe, Prif Swyddog Gweithredol Mayweather Promotions, pwy fydd yn rhedeg yr alwad.

Cyntaf ar yr alwad rydym yn mynd i siarad â Errol Spence, Jr, ac mae ei wrthwynebydd, Roberto Garcia, Hefyd, oedd i fod i ymuno â'r alwad ond, yn anffodus, yr oedd ganddo apwyntiad meddygol funud olaf y bu'n rhaid iddo fynd i mewn cyn iddo ymadawodd i Las Vegas, felly ni fydd yn gallu ymuno â ni.

Mae'r gŵr bonheddig ifanc eraill yn ymladdwr gwych, and I’m certainly looking forward to seeing him fight. I’m going to go ahead and turn it over to Leonard Ellerbe, fydd yn gwneud y cyflwyniadau ac yn agor i fyny.

Leonard Ellerbe

Diolch yn fawr, Kelly. I’d like to thank everyone for joining us on this afternoon’s call. PBC on NBC returns to primetime network television this Saturday, Mehefin 20^fed.

Our main event will feature a 12-round showdown between former world champions Adrien Broner and Shawn Porter. The co-main event features hot prospect Errol Spence, Jr. and veteran Roberto Garcia in a 10-round welterweight fight. Following the fights on NBC, byddwn yn newid i NBCSN ar gyfer gweithredu mwy mawr.

Mae'r tocynnau ar gyfer y digwyddiadau byw, fydd yn cael eu hyrwyddo gan Mayweather Promotions ar y cyd â TGB Hyrwyddiadau, ar werth yn awr. The tickets are available through Ticketmaster and mgmgrand.com. With the purchase of a ticket to the June 20^fed ymladd hyn Dydd Sadwrn, fans will also have access to the PBC on CBS card taking place on Sunday at the MGM Grand.

Hoffwn i ddechrau cyflwyno'r digwyddiad cyd-main, and I’d like to start out with Errol Spence. Errol Spence is coming to us from Desoto, Texas. He is a 2012 Olympiad yr Unol Daleithiau. He most recently dominated Samuel Vargas on the April 11 on PBC on NBC card. I’m very familiar with this young, exciting prospect. He’s a very talented fighter and he will be a force to be reckoned with for quite some time. He’s a future world champion. He’s coming to us at 16-0 gyda 13 Kos. Errol?

Errol Spence Jr.

Mae, I’m glad to be here. It’s a big opportunity for me on a huge stage. I’m going to go in and do like I always do, put on a great show and a great performance and raise my stock. Gobeithio, ar ôl y frwydr hon, ar ôl y perfformiad gwych, Gallaf fod y prif ddigwyddiad ar NBC.

Q

Ydych chi'n teimlo fel eich bod yn symud y ffordd yr ydych am i fod yn symud? Faster? Slower? Where you’re supposed to be? Yna, pa mor fuan yn eich barn chi, os gallwch chi ofalu am eich gwrthwynebydd, Roberto Garcia, y penwythnos hwn, y gallwch ei gael i mewn i ymladd hyd yn oed yn fwy arwyddocaol, efallai am deitl ar ryw adeg?

A. Spence Jr.

I feel like I’m moving the way I want to move. I’m fighting when I want to and I’m fighting on the regular, so everything’s been consistent and how I want it to go. I’m stepping up the competition, and I’m fighting on the big stage that I wanted to fight on. After I get rid of Roberto Garcia, I think it will be another step up fight. Gobeithio, Gallaf gael enw adnabyddus fwy yn wrthwynebydd, gobeithio, yn gyn-bencampwr y byd mewn 'na, ac yna trwy rywbryd yn gynnar y flwyddyn nesaf, Gallaf ymladd am deitl.

Q

Yn ôl y rhan fwyaf o bobl, chi oedd y Diffoddwr mwyaf dawnus ar y Tîm Olympaidd Unol Daleithiau yn 2012 ac yn y dyn gyda'r mwyaf o botensial fel gweithiwr proffesiynol. A yw hynny'n tynnu sylw ar eich cyfer chi? Does it motivate you? Do you believe your clippings? How do you stay focused? Because it seems like you are a pretty focused guy, y ffordd yr ydych wedi bod yn mynd am eich busnes.

A. Spence Jr.

Yn un peth, yn aros yn canolbwyntio yn unig yw rhywbeth yr wyf yn naturiol yn ei wneud, but I also want to live up to the hype and to the high standards that a lot of boxing writers and a lot of people have of me. I’ve just got to go out there and perform and look great, ac yr wyf am edrych yn wych, so I have to stay focused and work hard. That’s the only way that I’m going to get where I want to be and get to the top and get to fighting these name-known opponents. Dim ond rhaid i mi aros yn canolbwyntio a dim ond aros yn ymroddedig, a byddaf yn bendant yn ymladd gwrthwynebwyr mwy hysbys, fel Robert Guerrero neu Keith Thurman neu Amir Khan neu rywun fel 'na.

Q

Beth felly yw fuddugoliaeth yn erbyn Garcia yn ei wneud o ran cael chi yno?

A. Spence Jr.

Roberto Garcia, ei fod yn anodd, ef yn gyn-filwr, ac rwy'n credu i mi fod yn obaith ac ar fin bod yn gystadleuydd, Bu'n rhaid i mi wynebu guy fel 'na, a guy gyda llawer o brofiad a chofnod da iawn, so I can go into that contender level and contender status where I can start fighting more name-known guys. I think it’s just a process I have to go through so I can get to where I want to be. Roberto Garcia is a tough fighter. He’s not as known as the guys I would like to fight, ond rhaid i mi ymladd yn ei erbyn i gyrraedd rhai guys.

Q

Gyda dyfodiad llawer o'r diffoddwyr Dwyrain Ewrop, sy'n ymladd am deitl yn eu hail neu drydedd frwydr broffesiynol, a ydych yn teimlo pwysau i fath o gynyddu eich proses eich hun a chymryd ymladd llymach ac yn datblygu ychydig yn gyflymach nag yr ydym fel arfer wedi gweld diffoddwyr Americanaidd yn y gorffennol?

A. Spence Jr.

A oes Ddim yn. I don’t necessarily feel pressured. Everybody has their own path that they have to take. What those guys did was great, ac mae hynny'n anhygoel ac yn wir yn anhysbys, ond mae pawb yn eu llwybr eu hunain, ac mae pawb yn tyfu yn wahanol.

Q

Errol, ers PBC wedi dechrau darlledu ymladd, mewn 2015, ydych chi wedi cael, yr un frwydr ar y undercard Garcia-Peterson, ond eich Diffoddwr masnachol neu eich bio, sydd wedi bod yn cael llawer o amlygiad. A allwch ddweud wrthyf beth sydd wedi bod fel i weld eich hun ar y teledu a'r hyn y mae'r ymateb wedi bod i'r amlygiad?

A. Spence, Jr.

It’s been great. Rwy'n teimlo'n gyffrous. It shows that my hard work’s been paying off, and it shows how my manager believes in me. I’ve only been a pro fighter for three years and some change and I’m already being broadcast in with guys that have been pro eight, deng mlynedd, un mlynedd ar ddeg, and I’m head-to-head with these guys. It just shows a lot of people believe in me and I’ve got a lot of people behind me who support me.

Q

Soniasoch am Robert Guerrero, Keith Thurman, and Amir Khan as potential opponents that you’re looking at. Do you see them as stepping stones to something bigger, neu yw'r rhai y ymladd yr ydych am? It sounded like you might have been alluding to a different fight. Yr hyn rwy'n meddwl yw os ydych yn gweld rhai guys fel yn eich ffordd i frwydro yn erbyn Mayweather?

A. Spence Jr.

Not necessarily. These are the guys that are in the top ten, that are in the top five. These are the guys that are supposed to be there after Floyd retires in September, mae'r rhain yn y guys sy'n mynd i fod yn rhedeg adran sôn,, so these are the guys I’m looking at. I’m nowhere near close to fighting Mayweather, because I haven’t even gotten in the top ten yet. These are the guys thatI’m looking at that are in the top ten that are supposedly running the weight class after Floyd’s gone and retired.

Q

Yr wyf am eich holi am yr hyn a wyddoch am eich gwrthwynebydd, Roberto Garcia? A ydych yn ystyried, fel pro, Garcia i fod y Diffoddwr anoddaf eich bod wedi wynebu?

A. Spence, Jr.

I see him as the most experienced fighter. It could be the toughest. It all depends. One of my tough fights was against Emmanuel Lartey. Roedd yn 15-0, ac yr oeddwn yn 8-0 ar y pryd. But I mean it could be. Mae'n anodd, ei fod yn brofiadol, and he’s gritty. I know he’s going to come to fight, felly bydd hwn yn un o fy ymladd anoddaf hyd yma.

Q

Nawr, you’ve gone back and forth in the last year or so between welterweight and super welterweight. Is there one of those weight classes you particularly want to focus upon?

A. Spence Jr.

Im 'yn aros yn 147, and welterweight is my weight class. A lot of times I might fight at 148 neu rywbeth fel 'na, ond 147 yn y dosbarth pwysau a Im 'yn ymladd yn.

K. Swanson

Iawn, dyna oedd eich cwestiwn olaf, Errol, but I have one for you that I’d like to add here. The weekend is Father’s Day weekend, ac o'r hyn yr wyf wedi darllen am i chi, eich tad oedd yn eithaf allweddol wrth wneud yn siŵr eich bod wedi cael gyrfa bocsio. Rwy'n meddwl pe gallech rannu gyda ni ychydig am eich perthynas gyda'ch dad, pa mor bwysig oedd ef i ddatblygiad eich galluoedd bocsio, ac os bydd yn fod gyda chi y penwythnos hwn yn Las Vegas.

A. Spence Jr.

Roedd fy nhad, he got me started in boxing. Yr oedd yn yrrwr lori, felly ei fod yn arfer i yrru dros nos, ac yna bydd yn mynd adref 12:00 p.m. neu'n ddiweddarach wedyn yn mynd â fi i'r gampfa. Then after that he’d come from the gym, roedd fel 5:00 neu 6:00 p.m., ac y byddai'n orffwys am un neu ddwy awr ac yn mynd yn syth i weithio. Ar y pryd, Doeddwn i ddim wir yn meddwl am y peth, ond wrth i mi fynd yn hŷn ac ychydig yn ddoethach, sylweddoli yr holl aberthau iddo aberthu i mi allu i flwch ac yn mynd i'r holl twrnameintiau cenedlaethol hyn a'r holl twrnameintiau hyn allan o wladwriaeth a phethau. He had to pay for the hotel, talu am fwyd a phethau fel 'na allan o boced. We didn’t have any sponsors and stuff like that.

Mae'n chwarae rhan fawr o fy ngyrfa focsio. He’s my supporter. That’s my mentor. That’s like my best friend. For Father’s Day, Rydw i'n mynd i gael iddo ennill, ac mae'n mynd i fod yn fuddugoliaeth drawiadol y bydd yn fod yn falch ohono ac y bydd yn caru. He played a big part in my career. Without him, Yr wyf yn gwybod na fyddwn yn bocsio.

K. Swanson

Great. Thanks for sharing that. I know he was an important part of your story. Felly, Leonard, that is it on the side for Errol. We appreciate you taking the time out of your training. Pob lwc i chi, ac edrychwn ymlaen at eich gwylio ar PBC ar NBC.

L. Ellerbe

The fans are going to be in for a great treat with this fight. Garcia comes with a lot of experience, and Errol is the new guy on the block. He’s making a name for himself. Big things are expected out of Errol, a bydd yn cael ei chwilio i ddod drwy'r nos Sadwrn gyda pherfformiad gwych.

A. Spence Jr.

Diolch yn fawr. I’d like to thank everybody for their questions and stuff and everybody tuning in and listening. Just make sure you tune in Saturday. I’m going to put on a great performance and a great show.

L. Ellerbe

Yn y prif ddigwyddiad, mae gennym frwydr gyffrous iawn. We have two gentlemen who are very familiar with each other. They both come out of the state of Ohio. They both have extensive amateur backgrounds. I think it’s going to be an excellent fight.

We have Shawn Porter. Fel y dywedais, mae'n dod atom o'r tu allan i'r Akron, Ohio. He’s now fighting out of Las Vegas. His most recent win was on Spike in March when he fought Eric Bone. He has fought a number of good fighters, including big wins over former world champions Devon Alexander and Paulie Malignaggi. He comes to us with a record of 25-1-1, gyda 16 Kos, neb llai na y cyn-bencampwr y byd pwysau welter, “Showtime” Shawn Porter.

Shawn Porter

Beth sydd i fyny, pawb? Thanks for having me on.

Ken Porter

Diolch i chi guys gyfer cyflwyno gwych, Leonard. We really appreciate you guys having us on today. As far as our training camp, Shawn has been preparing for this fight and the previous fight and the previous fight before that ever since he turned professional. We never really go into a camp, per se. We just continue with what we were already doing. I have been blessed with an athlete who understands that this is his lifestyle, 'i' drwy gydol y flwyddyn, and he just works like that. So when it was time to turn up the heat a little bit, we were already ready to go. When it was time to bring down the weight a little bit, Nid oedd hynny'n broblem naill ai.

He’s strong. He’s happy. He’s feeling really good. Today we did a little bit of track work. We headed to the gym, ac yna rydym yn eu hatgoffa bod gennym y gynhadledd hon galwad gyda chi guys, felly roedd yn gwbl dim problem i ni fynd yn ôl adref ac yn eistedd i lawr am ychydig a chymryd alwad hon gan fod ein holl waith caled wedi ei wneud eisoes, nid dim ond yn y frwydr hon neu wersyll hon, but in previous fights and previous camps that we’ve had before this. Everything is on point. Everything is exactly where we want it to be, ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen at ymladd mawr ar nos Sadwrn yn erbyn ymladdwr gwych.

Q

Beth ydych chi wedi ei wneud yn wahanol yn y gwersyll hyfforddi i baratoi eich hun ar gyfer y frwydr hon a chyflymder Adrien Broner?

S. Gwisgwch

Rydych yn gwybod yr hyn y, I’ll let you know. Ydw, he is skillful and fast. We haven’t really done much different to try to offset that or anything. The reason being is because we know that I’m just as fast and just as quick as he is. There haven’t been any special workouts that we’ve incorporated this camp or anything like that to do anything differently to offset his speed. We’ve just really focused more so on my skills and also the different techniques that are required to cut off and slow down a fast fighter like him. Felly, 'i' yr hyn yr ydym wedi bod yn ei wneud, dim ond ar lefel uwch. We’re not overlooking his speed. We’ve just done more of what we need to do to prepare for it, sef yr hyn yr ydym wedi ei wneud bob amser.

K. Gwisgwch

Dim ond i roi guys i chi ychydig o wybodaeth, Yr wyf yn meddwl Devon Alexander yn un o'r bocswyr cyflymaf yn bocsio, cyfnod. I know that Manny Pacquiao is one of the fastest boxers in boxing. I know that Andre Dirrell is one of the fastest boxers in this sport. Shawn has been able to compete against those type of guys in professional fights, mewn sesiynau, in camps. We don’t have a problem with anyone’s speed. He’s just as fast as anybody that comes in the ring with him, felly pan fyddwch yn siarad am gyflymder a guy yn, nid yw hynny'n rhywbeth yr ydym ni'n ymwneud ag.

Y broblem y bydd yn rhaid y boi i ddelio â yw ein bod yn gyflym, and we’ve got power to come along with that. Felly, we’re prepared for that. Just like Shawn said, we just continue doing what we’ve already done. At this point in time, Nid yw bod yn bryder o gwbl, felly rydym yn barod ar gyfer y.

Q

Ydych chi mewn unrhyw ffordd a baratowyd eich hun ar gyfer efallai y antics sy'n dod draw yn y cylch gyda Broner Adrien?

S. Gwisgwch

Rydych yn gwybod yr hyn y, I haven’t. I understand that could arise during the fight. My whole thing is this, ac mae'n rhywbeth y mae fy nhad bob amser wedi pwyso arnaf, is being professional at all times. Being professional means maintaining your composure and staying poised and sticking to the game plan no matter what. Felly, ni waeth beth gall wneud neu ei ddweud yn ystod y frwydr, fwy na thebyg mae hynny'n golygu fy mod yn gwneud rhywbeth yn iawn, and I’ll just continue to do what I’m doing and what my corner’s asking me to do. I’m not worried about it at all. Yr wyf yn pwy ydw i, ac yr wyf yn cael y swydd ei wneud.

K. Gwisgwch

Shawn’s coming to knock Adrien’s head off. He’s in a real fight, and this is a big fight. I think it’s going to be a very entertaining fight. They both have contrasting styles. Both have certain strengths that they do certain things very well. It’s going to be a very competitive and exciting fight.

Q

You’re an Akron guy. Broner’s a Cincinnati guy. They’re saying it’s the battle of Ohio, ac rydym yn mynd i Las Vegas, yn lle gwych i ymladd mawr drwy'r amser, yn lle gwych i gael ymladd, ond oeddech chi'n meddwl efallai y byddech guys cael duking allan yn Ohio i setlo'r hawliau frolio ar gyfer y wladwriaeth?

S. Gwisgwch

Rwy'n gogledd-ddwyrain Ohio guy, nid dim ond Akron, not just Cleveland. It’s a blessing to be able to represent northeast Ohio, and I’ve done that for a very long time with pride. I’ve made everyone proud back home along the way. Eto, popeth dwi wedi dysgu, I learned from my dad. He told me a long time ago, mae'n dweud os ydych am wella, os ydych chi am gael gwell a gwneud pethau ar y lefel uchaf, mae'n rhaid i chi symud ymlaen ac weithiau yn gadael cartref yn unig a gofalu am eich busnes.

Gyda hynny cael ei ddweud, Las Vegas is the Mecca of boxing. It’s where we all want to be. I’ve been blessed enough to move out here two years ago, and this is where I always wanted my career to go. A fight of this magnitude is happening where it’s supposed to happen at. The bragging rights will come after the fight.

Q

Pa mor galed mae'n mynd i fod i chi i fynd i lawr i 144? What was the reason that you guys made the fight for significantly under the welterweight limit when both of you guys have been welterweight champions and not had any issues with 147?

S. Gwisgwch

I’ll answer the first question first. Ar hyn o bryd, rydym yn Cadillacing, and what I mean by that is we’re taking it one day at a time. We’re moving slow so everybody can see us, and we’re feeling good doing it. It’s coming along exactly the way we wanted it to, and it’s been a blessing. We were called and told that we were asked to be 144 pounds by Adrien Broner. That was not our decision. As soon as it was announced to me from my dad, Rwy'n dweud wrtho, beth bynnag mae angen i ni ei wneud i wneud y frwydr.

Amcana mae plentyn bach o Cincinnati pwy sy'n ofni o ymladd yn 147, even though that’s a weight that he’s even fought for a championship at. That’s neither here nor there. The weigh-in is Friday. We’ll be there. We’ll be on weight, and we’ll be excited to get on that scale and look him in the eyes at that weight and let him know that we’re feeling good. Whatever advantage he thought could come from that, nad oedd yn cael unrhyw.

Y peth da am ei fod yn Rwy'n bendithio bod gen i gorff mawr, and somehow we can get my body to do what it needs to do. Ar ddiwedd y dydd, all I can do is give it up to God. It’s been great along the way and, fel y dywedasoch, Yr wyf yn ymladd mor uchel â 165 yn y amaturiaid a hyd yn oed 154 ar ôl troi pro, ac yn awr 147 for the last about four or five years. It’s been great, ac ni fydd yn mynd i lawr ychydig mwy o bunnoedd fod yn broblem.

K. Gwisgwch

I call it addition by subtraction. As he loses weight, he increases his opportunity for big fights. Felly, rydym yn dod o 154 i 147, ac mae 'ymladd mawr yno ac enwau ymladd mawr yno. Yma rydym wedi cael cais i ddod i lawr ychydig mwy o bunnoedd, and it just so happens he’s living this way year round so he didn’t have to go into some crazy I’ve got to get this weight off type thing. This morning, he was very light. He’s eaten twice this morning already. He’s feeling really good. We’re able to do this, and we’re confident that it’ll continue throughout the week to come off like it is. We’re looking forward to this big fight at a lighter weight. Felly, that’s why I call it addition by subtraction. We get more out of coming down in a lower weight than we did being in the higher weight class.

Q

Shawn, ddau ohonoch ac Adrien wedi bod mewn rhai ymladd cyffrous, but you’re also both very good boxers also. What is your take on how this is going to play out?

S. Gwisgwch

I think this fight’s going to go everywhere. You’ve seen me fight. You know that I want to dictate everything. I want to dictate the pace. I want to be the commander in the ring. Gyda hynny cael ei ddweud, rydym yn amlbwrpas, sy'n wych, and we can box from the outside. There will also be points where we look to move in and get really physical. We’re just going to play it one round at a time and we’ll look to box and also look to punch and put it all together. That’s what you want in a big fight, when you can do so many things and this fight requires you doing so many things. We look to put it all together on Saturday night-the boxing, y dyrnu, y pwysau, y Atal, cyfan ohono.

Q

Pan edrychwch ar record Adrien Broner yn, byddwch yn gweld ei fod wedi bod colli i Marcos Maidana. Is there anything you’ve learned from that fight with Maidana that you can apply for yourself in your fight with Adrien?

S. Gwisgwch

Ydw. We’ve taken a look at a number of his fights, nid dim ond y drwg, but also the good. I’m steadily reminding myself not to underestimate him, i beidio â meddwl fy mod i'n mynd i ddod i mewn 'na ac yn gwneud popeth a wnaeth Maidana iddo, and that’s it and I’ll get the win. We look to do so much more than what Maidana did, ond y pwysau sydd Maidana cymhwyso y frwydr cyfan yn wych ac roedd yr hyn oedd ei angen.

We will look to do some of that. I’ve also taken a look at his earlier fights when he looked really sharp and superb, just to remind myself of what he can do. There were lot of things he didn’t do against Maidana, but there were a lot of things he did do well against some of his other competitors earlier in his career. We look to do a lot of different things this fight. It’s going to take a lot to win this one, ac rydym yn barod ar ei gyfer.

Q

A fu pethau penodol yr ydych wedi ei ddysgu neu ei newid yn eich agwedd ers eich brwydr y llynedd gyda Kell Brook wedi bod?

S. Gwisgwch

Yes and no. I think with that fight, pethau yr ydym wedi newid ac yn gweithio ar fwy wedi dod yn fwy, rhif un, meddyliol ac yna rhif dau, y ffeithiau sylfaenol. 'N annhymerus' dweud, rhif un, mae'r meddyliol gan fod llawer o bethau a ofynnwyd i mi yn y gornel nad oeddwn yn ymgorffori ystod y gêm. Ar ddiwedd y dydd, Ni allaf ond edrych ar fy hun, and that’s the reason those things didn’t show up. We worked on a lot of mental preparation since that fight, y gallu i nid yn unig yn gwrando ar y gornel a gweithredu'r cyfarwyddiadau hynny yn ystod y frwydr ac yna y pethau sylfaenol.

There were a lot of things I didn’t do in that fight. I got a little wild at points. Ar ôl y frwydr, unwaith y byddwn yn mynd yn ôl hyfforddiant, rydym yn mynd yn ôl yr holl ffordd at y pethau sylfaenol fel yr ydym bob amser yn ei wneud, ond rydym yn rhoi ychydig mwy o bwyslais ar yr agwedd meddwl ynghyd â'r pethau sylfaenol.

Q

Mae'r frwydr yn mynd i fod nos Sadwrn, prif ddigwyddiad, oriau brig, ar NBC ym mron pob cartref yn y wlad, and it’s going to be televised internationally. Tell us about how that affects you, bod mewn ymladd ardalydd o'r fath.

S. Gwisgwch

Rydych yn gwybod yr hyn y, Gallaf eich addo hon, this is something that I’ve always envisioned and I’ve always looked forward to. My fight with Julio Diaz, pan wnes i ddarganfod y dechrau yr oedd yn MGM Grand, I was really excited. Then I was told it was going to be in one of the conference rooms. The whole entire bubble didn’t bust, but a little bit of the air came out. I’ve just always marveled at the crowd, pa mor uchel mae'n mynd, y goleuadau, the whole nine. I love every part of the ambiance of a big MGM Grand fight. I’m taking it with a lot of excitement and obviously not over enthused, but I do understand the moment that I’m about to have. The great part about it is it’s a moment that I’ve always wanted, and I’m looking forward to it, felly byddaf yn mynd ag ef gyda dim problem o gwbl.

Q

A oes unrhyw elyniaeth legit rhyngoch chi a'r Adrien?

S. Gwisgwch

Rydych yn gwybod yr hyn y, there was no animosity about the weight up until the press conference that we had last week. We had the press conference. We’ve known for weeks now that the contracted weight is supposed to be 144. Here we are doing everything that we need to do as professionals to be on weight, fod ar bwynt, fod 100%, a'r plentyn a ddewisodd wneud y contract, pwysau 144, Dymuniadau beidio â siarad am y pwysau a gontractiwyd, Dymuniadau beidio â siarad am unrhyw gymal ail-hydradu, am osgoi unrhyw sgwrs sy'n golygu cyfyngiadau pwysau neu unrhyw beth fel 'na.

Mae mwy a mwy yr ydym yn siarad am y peth, the more and more the animosity starts to set in because I’m a professional doing what I do. I’ve done it at this high level for so long, a fy nosbarth pwysau yn 147 for so long. You want to move up into my weight, then move up. Don’t be scared. Don’t be worried. Don’t be afraid. Put your skill on the line along with your record. Put everything on the line. Put it all on the line at 147. Don’t put it at 144 ac yna ni eisiau siarad am y peth.

I’m not going to worry about it. We still maintain our professionalism and come into this fight and this weigh-in the way we’re supposed to. No personal animosity towards Adrien Broner. I know him, ond yr wyf yn ei adnabod o bell.

Gyda hynny cael ei ddweud, mae bob amser wedi bod yn fwy o, “Hey, sut ydych chi'n ei wneud?” math o berthynas, Nid yw “Gadewch i ni fynd i'r clwb heno” math o berthynas a hefyd, Nid yw “Pam ydych chi'n siarad â mi eich? Gallwn i fod yn ymladd i chi rywbryd,” relationship. Felly, we’re cool. The night of the fight, byddwn yn gelynion am 12 rowndiau, or however many rounds it lasts. Ar ol hynny, Byddaf yn pwy ydw i ac yn broffesiynol ac yn gadael i'r bocsio ofalu am ei hun.

Q

A yw pwysau hwn deimlo'n dda, neu a ydych yn gweld eich hun yn symud i'r dde yn ôl i fyny i'r pwysau welter wedi hyn?

Yn amlwg rydym yn gwneud y symudiad hwn am reswm, and that was to fight the kid. Ar ol hynny, I don’t think there’ll be any other reason for me to move any lower than 147. It’s not going to be a problem this fight, but it’s not something that I want to entertain in the future. I’m a 147-pound fighter, simple as that. Anyone I fight will be a strong 147-pound fighter, not a blown-up 140-pound fighter and not a took-down 154-pounder. We look to fight everyone at their best, ac mae fy gorau yn mynd i fod 144 ar ddydd Sadwrn.

Iawn. That actually was your last media question, ond rwy'n mynd i ofyn cwestiwn i chi fy hun, something that I actually shared with Errol Spence too. It’s Father’s Day weekend for the big boxing weekend in Las Vegas. Yr wyf yn meddwl pawb yn bocsio yn gwybod am y cau, intimate relationship that the Porters have. I’d like, Shawn, i chi rannu gyda ni beth yw eich tad yn ei olygu i chi a'r hyn yr ydych yn cynllunio ar gyfer Sul y Tadau ar ôl nos Sadwrn.

Onest, I’m happy that this fight has come at this time. My dad and I have worked extremely hard together for a very long time doing this sport. What better way to celebrate or wake up and just be proud of what we’ve done the night before, fel teulu, fel tîm? Rwy'n edrych ymlaen am gael frwydr hon fydd y noson cyn Sul y Tadau, ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at allu deffro ac ewch dros i mewn i'r ystafell nesaf a deffro fy nhad a dim ond rhyfeddu at yr hyn yr ydym wedi'i wneud, yn amlwg, nid yn unig yn y cylch ond yr hyn sydd gennym yn awr fel teulu ac fel tîm.

Ef golygu'r byd i mi, ac mae'n gwybod bod. I definitely know I mean the world to him. I’ve said this before, y cariad sydd gennym, ein bod yn rhannu, rydym yn gwneud hynny i'r cylch â'i gilydd, and it’s unparalleled. You can’t match it. Mae hynny'n golygu llawer. That makes a difference during the fight.

Leonard, Hoffwn i droi drosodd i chi am y sylwadau diwethaf.

Iawn. I just want to clear up this whole weight issue. It seems that there’s a lot of back and forth about the weight. Both fighters have agreed to fight this fight Saturday at 144 pounds max. I want to be clear with that, 144 pounds max. Both fighters agree upon that. The fans are expecting a great fight, and I think that both fighters will be at their best come Saturday night. Both fighters have had an excellent camp and have prepared to fight at the weight, and both fighters know what to expect from each other. They know each other very well. They both have great strengths, ac yr wyf yn meddwl ei fod yn mynd i fod yn frwydr yn dod nos Sadwrn gyffrous iawn.

Rwy'n gwneud argraff fawr Shawn Porter, with what he’s been able to do as a professional. What I like the most about Shawn is his confidence. As a young veteran, he’s willing to get in there with anybody and those are the things that are a rare attribute when what you see with young fighters. A lot of fighters talk the talk, but they’re not willing to step up. Fel y dywedais, one of the most impressive things that I personally admire about Shawn is that he’s willing to get in there with anybody. He’s even called out Floyd Mayweather. He’s willing to get in there with Floyd, and that’s what I like. The guy’s willing to put it on the line, osod ar y llinell, gwneud yr hyn sydd ei angen i fwydo eu teuluoedd ac i roi i'r cefnogwyr hyn y maent am.

Rydym yn edrych ymlaen at nos Sadwrn, ymladd gwych i'r cefnogwyr. Diolch i chi gyd am tiwnio mewn.
