It just shows a lot of people believe in me and I’ve got a lot of people behind me who support me.

Q

You mentioned Robert Guerrero, Keyt Turman, and Amir Khan as potential opponents that you’re looking at. Do you see them as stepping stones to something bigger, or are those the fights you want? It sounded like you might have been alluding to a different fight. What I’m wondering is if you see those guys as in your way to fight Mayweather?

Va. Spence Jr.

Not necessarily. These are the guys that are in the top ten, that are in the top five.

L. Ellerbe

Asosiy tadbirda, Biz juda hayajonli kurashni bor. 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. Kabi dedim, he’s coming to us from out of Akron, Ogayo. 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, bilan 16 KOS, none other than the former welterweight world champion, “Namoyish Vaqti” Shawn Porter.

Shawn Porter

What’s up, har bir kishi? Thanks for having me on.

Ken Porter

Thank you guys for the wonderful introduction, 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, it’s year-round, 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, that wasn’t a problem either.

U kuchli ekan. U baxtli ekan. U, albatta, yaxshi his bo'lyapdi. Bugun biz iz ish bir oz edi. Biz sport zaliga rahbarlik, va keyin, biz siz bolalar bilan bu konferentsiya qo'ng'iroq bor eslatib qilindi, Bas, u bizga uyga borish va bir oz o'tiring va mehnatimizning barcha allaqachon qilingan, chunki bu da'vatni qabul qilish uchun, albatta, hech muammo edi, emas, balki faqat bu kurash yoki bu lagerida, lekin oldingi janjal va avvalgi lagerlarda biz bu oldin bor edi ayting. Har bir narsa nuqtasi ustida. Biz u bilan istagan joyiga har bir narsa aniq emas, va biz buyuk kurashchi qarshi shanba kuni katta bir jangga oldinga izlamoqdamiz.

S. Taqinglar

Bilasizmi nima, Men sizga xabar olaman. Ha, U mohir va tez. Biz, albatta, yoki hech narsa ofset sinash uchun ko'p turli qilmagan. Biz men u kabi tez va xuddi tez emasman, deb bilaman, chunki sababi borliqdir. Biz uning tezligini ofset turlicha narsa qilish kabi bu yig'in yoki biror narsa, jumladan, ayting hech qanday maxsus mashqlar ham bor edi, balki.

K. Taqinglar

Faqat, bolalar, bir oz ma'lumot berish, Men Devon Aleksandr boks bo'yicha eng tez bokschilar biri, deb o'ylayman, davr. Men Manny Pacquiao boks bo'yicha eng tez bokschilar biri, deb bilaman. Men Andre Dirrell bu sport tez bokschilar biri, deb bilaman. Shawn professional kurashishlarda bolalar o'sha turiga qarshi raqobat qilish muvaffaq bo'ldi, majlislarida, lagerlarda. Biz hech kimning tezlik bilan muammo yo'q. U va u bilan birga xalqqa keladi hech kimga kabi tez bo'ldi, Bas, siz bir kishi uning tezligi haqida gapirganda, Biz bilan bog'liq-ku nimadir emas.

bu odam bilan shug'ullanish kerak bo'ladi, deb muammo, biz tez ekansiz bo'ladi, va biz bilan birga kelgan kuch bor. Shunday, Biz buning uchun tayyorlangan birgamiz. Faqat Shawn dedi kabi, Biz faqat, biz allaqachon amalga ayting nima qilib davom. Vaqt ichida bu nuqtada, deb hech bir tashvish emas, Shunday qilib, biz bu uchun tayyorsiz.

Biron-bir tarzda, bir Adrien Broner bilan halqa bo'ylab kelgan balki antics uchun avtorlashing tayyorlaganmiz?

Men bu haqda tashvish yo'q. Men kim emasman, va men ish amalga olish.

K. Taqinglar

Shawn ning Adrien boshini off urish keladi. U haqiqiy kurash bo'ldi, va bu katta kurash bo'ladi. Menimcha, bu juda qiziq kurash bo'lishi yog'adiganga o'xshaydi. Ular har ikki qarama-qarshi jihozlardan bor. Har ikki ular juda yaxshi ma'lum bir narsaga aniq kuchli bor. Bu juda raqobat va qiziqarli kurash bo'lishi yog'adiganga.

Q

Siz Akron yigit ekansiz. Broner ning bir Cincinnati bola. Ular u Ogayo urush bo'ldi, deb turibmiz, va biz Las-Vegas fiz, har doim katta janjal uchun ajoyib joy, kurashlar bor, katta joy, lekin siz guys davlat uchun kimni maqtayapti huquqlarini hal qilish uchun Ogayo tashqariga duking bo'ladi, deb, ehtimol, deb o'ylayman qildi?

S. Taqinglar

Men shimoli Ogayo odam emasman, emas, balki faqat Akron, emas, balki faqat Klivlend. Bu shimoli Ogayo vakili imkoniyatiga ega bo'lish uchun baraka bo'ldi, va men g'urur bilan juda uzoq vaqt davomida bu amalga ayting. Men yo'l bo'ylab mag'rur uyga har bir qilgan ayting. Yana, Men o'rgandim, har bir narsa, Men otam o'rgangan. U uzoq vaqt oldin menga aytgan, u siz yaxshilash bo'lsangiz, deydi, Agar yaxshi va eng yuqori darajada narsaga bo'lsangiz, Agar harakat va ba'zan yolg'iz uy tark va biznes g'amxo'rlik bor.

Deb aytgan bilan, Las Vegas boks Makka emas. Biz hammamiz bo'lishni istayman qaerda uning. Men ikki yil oldin bu erga olib ko'chib o'tishga yetarli barakali ayting, va bu men har doim so'radim qaerda mening martaba borish emas. Bu kattaligi bir jang u sodir bo'lishi taxmin qilinmoqda qaerda sodir bo'ladi. palavra huquqlar kurash so'ng keladi.

Q

Qanday qiyin siz uchun pastga olish uchun bo'ladi 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. Taqinglar

I’ll answer the first question first. Hoziroq, we’re 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, I told him, whatever we need to do to make the fight.

I guess there’s a little kid from Cincinnati who’s afraid of fighting at 147, U hatto bir chempionati uchun kuch sinashdi yotipti bir vazn ekan-da,. Txet-qizlar ham shu yerda ham bor. vaznga-juma emas. Biz u erda bo'laman. Biz og'irligiga bo'laman, va biz bu miqyosda olish va og'irligi ko'zlariga tikilibroq qarashdi va uning biz yaxshi his qilyapmiz, deb xabar bering xursand bo'laman. Nima bo'lishidan qat'iy nazar afzalligi u kelgan deb o'ylagan, u har qanday olish emas.

bu haqda yaxshi narsa, men katta bir tanani bor, deb muborak emasman emas, va negadir biz mening tana u nima qilish kerakligini qilish olishingiz mumkin. Kunning oxirida, Men, albatta, mumkin bo'lgan barcha Xudo uni yuqoriga beradi. Bu yo'lda buyuk bo'ldi va, kabi dedi, Men kabi yuqori jang 165 havaskorlar va hatto 154 pro aylanish ustiga, va hozir 147 to'rt yoki besh yilgacha haqida so'nggi uchun. Bu juda ham ajoyib, and going down a few more pounds won’t be a problem.

K. Taqinglar

I call it addition by subtraction. As he loses weight, he increases his opportunity for big fights. Shunday, we came from 154 uchun 147, and there’s big fights there and big fight names there. Here we’ve been asked to come down a few more pounds, 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. U, albatta, yaxshi his bo'lyapdi. 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. Shunday, that’s why I call it addition by subtraction. Biz yuqori vazn toifasida bo'lish edi ancha past og'irlik tushib kelayotgan ko'proq olish.

Q

Shawn, siz va Adrien ikkala ba'zi hayajonli janjal bo'lgan, lekin siz ham har ikki juda yaxshi bokschilar ham odamsiz. Bu o'ynaydi borasida take nima?

S. Taqinglar

Men bu kurash hamma joyda borish yog'adiganga o'xshaydi. Siz menga kurash ko'rgan ayting. Siz men hamma narsani aytib istasangiz, bilingki,. Men tezligini aytib istayman. Men halqasida qo'mondoni bo'lish istayman. Deb aytgan bilan, Biz ko'p tomonlama ekansiz, qaysi katta, va biz tashqaridan papkasidagi mumkin. Bundan tashqari, biz harakat va, albatta, jismoniy olish nazar nuqtalari bo'ladi. Punch va birga hamma qo'yish nazar, biz faqat bir vaqtning o'zida u bir tur o'yin fiz va biz ham papkasidagi qarash va olaman. Bu siz katta kurashda istayman nima, 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, the punching, the pressure, the countering, all of it.

Q

When you look at Adrien Broner’s record, you see he had that loss to 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. Taqinglar

Ha. We’ve taken a look at a number of his fights, not just the bad, but also the good. I’m steadily reminding myself not to underestimate him, not to think that I’m going to come in there and do everything that Maidana did to him, and that’s it and I’ll get the win. We look to do so much more than what Maidana did, but the pressure that Maidana applied that entire fight was great and was what he needed.

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, and we’re ready for it.

Q

Have there been specific things that you’ve learned or changed in your approach since your fight last year with Kell Brook?

S. Taqinglar

Yes and no. I think with that fight, the things that we’ve changed and worked on more have become more, soni bir, mental and then number two, the basics. Men aytaman olaman, soni bir, the mental because there were a lot of things that were asked of me in the corner that I didn’t incorporate during the match. Kunning oxirida, I can only look at myself, and that’s the reason those things didn’t show up. We worked on a lot of mental preparation since that fight, being able to not only listen to the corner and implement those instructions during the fight and then the basics.

There were a lot of things I didn’t do in that fight. I got a little wild at points. Kurash so'ng, once we got back training, we went back all the way to the basics like we always do, but we put a little more emphasis on the mental aspect along with the basics.

Q

This fight’s going to be Saturday night, asosiy voqea, prime time, on NBC in virtually every home in the country, and it’s going to be televised internationally. Tell us about how that affects you, being in such a marquis fight.

S. Taqinglar

Bilasizmi nima, I can promise you this, this is something that I’ve always envisioned and I’ve always looked forward to. My fight with Julio Diaz, when I first found out it was at 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, how loud it gets, the lights, 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, so I’ll take it with no problem at all.

Q

Is there any legit animosity between you and Adrien?

S. Taqinglar

Bilasizmi nima, 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, be on point, be 100%, and the kid who chose to make the contract, vazn 144, wishes not to talk about the contracted weight, wishes not to talk about any rehydration clause, wants to avoid any conversation involving weight limits or anything like that.

The more and more we talk about it, 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, and my weight class is 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 and then not want to talk about it.

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, but I know him from a distance.

Deb aytgan bilan, it’s always been more of a, “Hey, how are you doing?” type of a relationship, not a “Let’s go to the club tonight” type of relationship and also, not a “Why are you talking to me you? I could be fighting you sometime,” relationship. Shunday, we’re cool. The night of the fight, we will be foes for 12 tur, or however many rounds it lasts. Undan keyin, I will be who I am and be professional and let the boxing take care of itself.

Q

Does this weight feel good, or do you see yourself moving right back up to welterweight after this?

S. Taqinglar

Obviously we made this move for a reason, and that was to fight the kid. Undan keyin, 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, and my best is going to be 144 shanba kuni.

Xop. That actually was your last media question, but I’m going to ask you a question myself, something that I actually shared with Errol Spence too. It’s Father’s Day weekend for the big boxing weekend in Las Vegas. I think everybody in boxing knows about the close, intimate relationship that the Porters have. I’d like, Shawn, for you to share with us what your dad means to you and what you are planning for Father’s Day after Saturday night.

S. Taqinglar

Rostini aytsam, 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, as a family, jamoa sifatida? I’m excited about having this fight be the night before Father’s Day, and I’m looking forward to being able to wake up and go over into the next room and wake up my dad and just marvel at what we’ve done, shubhasiz, not only in the ring but what we have now as a family and as a team.

He means the world to me, va u biladi. I definitely know I mean the world to him. I’ve said this before, the love that we have, that we share, we carry that to the ring with each other, and it’s unparalleled. You can’t match it. Bu juda ko'p degan ma'noni anglatadi. That makes a difference during the fight.

Leonard, I’d like to turn it over to you for last comments.

Xop. 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, and I think it’s going to be a very exciting fight come Saturday night.

I’m very impressed with 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. Kabi dedim, 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, lay it on the line, do what it takes to feed their family and to give the fans what they want.

We look forward to Saturday night, a great fight for the fans. Thank you all for tuning in.

K. Taqinglar

You guy’s had a great session there, good questions. We’re feeling good, so we’re looking forward to seeing you guys on Saturday. Thanks for having us.
