Drie dae voor hulle mekaar ontmoet in die ring, Die twee vegters en hul kampe was saaklik en vertroue as hulle het hul beurte op die podium.
Hier is wat die vegters en bestuurders moes Woensdag sê:
FLOYD Mayweather
“Ons het hier so baie keer. Ek weet praat nie gevegte wen. Ek weet opleiers nie gevegte wen. Dit kom neer op die twee deelnemers. Ek is altyd bereid, fisies en geestelik. Ons het 'n merkwaardige spel plan.
“Ek wil almal wat gedek hierdie gebeurtenis en my loopbaan oor dankie 19 jaar. Of dit was 'n goeie storie of 'n slegte storie, julle ouens het geskryf oor my en het my relevant. Dit is hoe ek in staat was om rekord te breek getalle doen.
“Oefenkamp was ongelooflik, soos altyd. Ek het gevra of ek wil in staat wees in top toestand te kry na die Pacquaio stryd en ek absoluut gedoen. Maak nie saak wie ek gekies, die kritici sou iets te sê het.
“Ek weet wat dit neem vir 'n stryd teen hierdie omvang. Maak nie saak wat enigiemand sê, dit kom neer op die twee deelnemers en ek weet wat ek kan doen. Een ding wat ek kan doen, Ek kan veg.
“Wanneer ons praat oor die landing van die hoogste persentasie, Ek is die man. Wanneer ons praat oor die doen van die hoogste hek of PPV, Ek is die man.
“Ek kan nie sê ek gaan uit 49-0 omdat jy nie kan miskyk iemand.
“Elke stryd het 'n groot sleutel. Dit is nie net die intelligensie; dit is die skerp verstand, die goeie ken, die geweldige hart. Ek misgekyk nooit 'n teenstander. Ek opgelei vir elke vegter dieselfde manier, deur myself stoot. Ek glo in my vaardighede en ek glo in my talent. Ek het in daar met die beste, en die resultate is altyd dieselfde.
“Jy het vegters wat vinniger as my kan wees, daar is vegters wat harder kan getref as ek, jy vegters wat baie atleties, maar jy het nie 'n vegter wat aanpassings kan maak soos ek. Jy hoef nie vegters wat kan wees op my vlak geestelik het.
“Dit is nooit vir my 'n persoonlike, dit is altyd besigheid. Almal veg vir wat hulle veg vir. My ding is dit; Ek hou my oë op die prys. Ek het nie te fokus op dinge buite die ring. Ek fokus op die man in die voorkant van my.
“Jy waar jy deur bly gefokus. My droom was om die beste te wees. Maak nie saak wat gebeur Saterdag, wanneer dit kom by boks, Ek is die beste op hierdie.
“Sommige ouens wou my jaag, goed wat se plan B? Pacquiao kon strikke vir ander vegters stel, maar hy kon nie strikke vir Floyd Mayweather stel. Jy moet 'n plan A, 'n plan B en 'n plan C. Ek het nog nooit 'n vegter geslaan met my plan A.
“Berto jy 'n hel van 'n loopbaan gehad. Jy is 'n moeilike vegter en mededinger. Dit is voor die hand liggend jy iets reg gedoen. My ding is, net sit ouens in die voorkant van my, en ons sal hom koers nadat hulle in die gesig staar my.
“Te wees in die sport van die boks en maak opwaarts van $800 miljoen, my span het hul werk gedoen. Ek het nog nooit gefokus op die dinge wat op die buitekant. Ek het nog nooit so iets sit voordat boks. Op 4:30 in die oggend toe my opponent slaap, Ek werk. Ek wil nie om iets te laat in hierdie sport.
“Geen vegter in die geskiedenis is in groter gevegte as ek. Geen vegter in die geskiedenis het klop meer as kampioene Ek het klop. Maar dit is nog nie verby nie. I’m going to push myself. I can go to places where no fighter can go mentally.
“Die sport van die boks moet hierdie. Berto is 'n moeilike, jong, honger vegter en dit is wat ons nodig het om die beste uit ons bring. Ek gaan na vore te kom en Floyd Mayweather. Afrigters en vegters probeer om maniere te vind vegters af te gooi, maar ek weet wat om te doen wanneer dit alles gesê en gedoen.
“Ek wil my nalatenskap te van 'n merkwaardige vegter in die ring en 'n groot sakeman buite dit.
“Ons gaan vir die uitklophou. Ek is redelik seker hy gaan vir die uitklophou. Dit gaan iets besonders wees.”
ANDER Berto
“Dis snaaks, wanneer dit kom by die media en kritici. Hulle is nie in daardie gym werk en die wete dat die gevoel van 'n vegter. Hulle weet nie wat die myl ons hardloop en die opofferings wat ons moet maak om 'n wêreldkampioen geword het of kom tot hierdie vlak van stryd.
“Hierdie kamp het intens. Dit het beslis geneem my op vlakke wat ek nog nooit bereik. Ons het geen steen onaangeroer gelaat, Ek het my gat Busted vir die laaste paar maande.
“Enigiemand wat stappe in die ring, Ek moet respekteer. Wanneer dit is tyd om te veg, Ek kom vir my respek. Saterdag nag gaan 'n goeie een ek belowe jou wees.
“Ek het my hele lewe gegee om hierdie sport. Ek het gekom in en ek het die mense vermaak. Dit is wat ek doen. Dit is waarom ek in die spel gekom het. Ek het getel uit van dag een uit waar ek vandaan kom.
“Ek is net vir my respek kom. Ek kom vir alles wat ek verdien.
“Aan die einde van die dag, Ek moet in staat wees om my spel neem om 'n heel ander vlak. Soms is dit nodig dat die opponent te kry wat jy op daardie punt, en Floyd is die een.
“Hy het 'n groot IK, maar een skoot kan dit alles verander.
“Jy kan slim wees, kan jy vinnig, maar dit is boks.
“Floyd is skerp natuurlik, maar ek het sekere gereedskap wat ek glo dit sal 'n werklike moeilike Saterdagaand maak. Ons gaan vir die uitklophou. Jy wil beslis nie om dit te mis.
“Dit is 'n groot vir Haiti. Die land van Haiti is net reg nou opgewonde en Saterdag nag sal hulle beslis in die gebou. Saterdag nag historiese vir die land wees. Dit is die eerste keer dat 'n individu is op hierdie vlak om die land te verteenwoordig.
FLOYD Mayweather SR., Mayweather se Vader & Trainer
“Ek sien 'n ware stryd op Saterdag. Moenie my verkeerd verstaan ​​nie, want ek weet nie wat gaan aan, maar ek dink regtig Floyd kom om te veg.
“Ek weet Berto se koms om te veg. Een ding wat ek gesien het van Berto is dat hy geen verweer – en hy is geknoei met 'n verdedigende gefluit.
“Ek dink beslis Floyd hom trap iewers langs die pad.
“Floyd respekteer Berto en hom nie met uitsig, maar hy kan hom net ophou, dit is baie moontlik.”
VIRGIL HUNTER, Berto se Trainer
“Daar is 'n paar dinge wat 'n klomp mense nie verstaan ​​nie. Wanneer jy twee ouens wat gebore is in situasies waar hulle probeer om te bewys wie die koning van die skool is, jy 'n paar werklike gevegte.
“Ek dink oor Joe Frazier in die “Thrilla in Manila”, wanneer mense het gedink hy gedoen het, maar hy geveg oor sy kop. Maak Andre Berto het daardie vermoë? Ja, natuurlik het hy. Ons sien dit al die tyd in sport. Daar is nagte wanneer dit gebeur net. Andre Berto gaan om dit te neem oor sy kop en dit is wat hy voornemens is om te doen en wat hy moet doen.
“Ons kan nie ooreenstem met sy IK, maar daar is ander elemente wat 'n suksesvolle stryd te maak. Daar is iets in die lug brou. Ek het sowat 'n lang tyd en ek weet wanneer iets persoonlike. Jy beter jou mense te vertel om te stem-in vir hierdie stryd. Glo my; dit gaan om 'n rommel wees.
“Ek het Floyd se Plan B gesien. Ek het hom gesien gaan na die oorlog. Ek het hom gesien Rumble met ouens groter as hy. Ek gaan nie te laat beïnvloed deur sy vaardigheid. Hierdie stryd gaan word geveg van manier diep.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, Uitvoerende hoof van Mayweather Promotions
“Ons is opgewonde dat hierdie stryd nag gevul sal word met 'n hoë spel matchups hele nag. Ons het 'n geweldige stryd kaart. Natuurlik, die belangrikste gebeurtenis het die hoogste belange van hulle almal as Andre Berto sal neem oor die onoorwonne Floyd Mayweather.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Uitvoerende vise-president en Algemene Bestuurder, Showtime Sport
“Ses gevegte in 30 maande. Floyd, hulle het gesê jy sal dit nie doen nie, hulle sê jy kan dit nie doen nie en weer jy hulle verkeerd bewys. Die eerste vyf gevegte opgelewer byna 10 miljoen PPV koop, $750 miljoen in PPV kwitansies en dit is alles hier gelei tot nommer ses veg, stryd getal 49.
“19 jaar onoorwonne, 17 agtereenvolgende jaar as wêreldkampioen, 16 agtereenvolgende teenstanders wat is die voormalige kampioene of huidige. Saterdagaand een van daardie sake. Andre Berto is nie veg 'n nalatenskap of 'n rekord boek of geskiedenis, hy veg 'n man, en die mense kan verloor.
“Die konvensionele wysheid is dat Floyd gaan hierdie stryd te wen, maar konvensionele wysheid het gesê dat die eerste Maidana stryd sou maklik wees vir Floyd. Daar word gesê dat rumo sou moeilikste uitdager Floyd se en dit het Pacquiao kon Mayweather klop. Dit het nie rekening vir Hasim Rahman of Buster Douglas en dit sal beslis nie rekening vir Andre Berto se hart of wil boks geskiedenis te herskryf op Saterdag nag.
“Soos jy, Ek weet nie wat gaan gebeur op Saterdag nag. Ek weet dat Berto is meer atleties as enige vegter Floyd het onlangs geveg. Een ding weet ek, dit gaan nie vervelig wees. Wanneer jy vegters soos ons hele PPV kaart het, dit is 'n nag nie misgeloop word nie.”
RICHARD STORM, President van Vermaak & Sport vir MGM Resorts International
“Ons is opgewonde om 'n deel van hierdie kampioenskap stryd tussen Mayweather en Berto wat sal afskop 'n sensasionele val besetting van vermaak by MGM wees. Ons almal sien uit na die geskiedenis as Floyd lyk om sy loopbaan eindig 49-0 en gelyk aan die rekord van Rocky Marciano wat staan ​​sedert September 1955.
“Ons is bly om terug te verwelkom Andre Berto. Berto sal op een van die grootste kampioene die sport se neem en daar is geen twyfel dat hy bereid sal wees vir die uitdaging.”
BOB BENNETT, President van die staat Nevada Atleties kommissie
“Daar is geen twyfel dat enige kommissie in die wêreld sou verheug om hierdie stryd het, net soos ons is. Ons is baie dankbaar vir Floyd Mayweather vir die feit dat hierdie show in ons agterplaas. Die NSAC eintlik opdrag eerste geveg Floyd se 19 jaar gelede en tot op datum het ons gereguleer 25 uit 49 van Floyd se gevegte kom Saterdag nag wanneer hy probeer om Rocky Marciano se rekord te bind.
“Dit was vir ons 'n eer en voorreg om dié gevegte te reguleer. Ons amptenare spandeer baie tyd in die opleiding en ons is gereed om te gaan om werk te kom Saterdag nag.”

FLOYD Mayweather

“Hy is [Manny Pacquiao] is a hell of a fighter. I take my hat off to him. Now I see why he’s one of the guys that are at the pinnacle of the sport of boxing.

 

“I knew he was going to push it and win some rounds. He had some moments in the fight, but I kept him on the outside, I was a smart fighter. I wasn’t getting hit with a lot of shots until I sat in the pocket, that’s when he would land a lot of shots.

 

“Ons het gedoen wat ons moes doen vanaand and I’m truly blessed.

 

“I’m a calculated fighter, he’s a tough competitor.

 

“I have to take it off to my dad, without him I wouldn’t be where I’m at.

 

“He’s a very awkward fighter, so I had to take my time and watch him close.

 

“Alle 47 fights before I got to this fight played a major key in my career.

 

“Manny Pacquiao is a true champion and we both did our best vanaand.

 

“When the history books are written, this fight will have been worth the wait.

 

“I have one more fight. My last fight is in September and then it’s time for me to hang it up. I’m almost 40 years old now. I’ve been in the sport 19 years and have been a champion for 18 jaar, I’m truly truly blessed.”

 

 

MANNY PACQUIAO

“Dit was 'n goeie stryd; Ek het gedink ek het die stryd.

 

“He didn’t do anything. He was always moving outside.

 

“I got him many times, I saw his punches.

 

“He was moving around too much, it wasn’t easy throwing punches at him. If he would’ve stayed in one place then I could’ve thrown punches.

 

“I was cutting him and countering. I wanted to fight.

 

“I was able to handle his power; he’s not strong like previous opponents like [Anthony] Margarito.

 

“I thought I was up in the fight, so that’s why I didn’t attack harder in the 11ste en 12ste rondes.

 

“He’s not bigger than me, it’s not about the size. The size doesn’t matter. I’ve fought guys bigger than him and had no problem.”

“”I’m still young and there are many more fights to come. The fights the fans want, we’re going to give it to them. I know those fights are going to happen.

 

“I want to look spectacular and I want to get Cayetano out of there really fast. Sometimes these kind of fighters are the ones who give you the hardest fights because they come hungrier and have nothing to lose.

 

“Seeing my family here and having them in the arena on fight night is a huge motivation for me. I feel happier and more relaxed and I’m ready.

 

“I never underestimate a fighter. Any fighter in the ring is dangerous. I hope that Cayetano is ready so that we can give the fans a great show.”

 

JOSE CAYETANO
“I know that Leo Santa Cruz is a strong, difficult fighter but he also has weaknesses and that is what we prepared for, to give him a surprise.

“I’m a man that takes challenges and I’ve been preparing very hard, I’m always prepared for these types of fights. I’m very prepared and I feel very strongly that I will win.

“I came here for the opportunity to beat Leo Santa Cruz and for the opportunity to participate in such a grand event that is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.

“I’m very happy and very grateful and very excited to get into the ring. It’s a huge commitment, the entire world will be watching me but that is why I accepted the fight, I know that if I beat him, bigger and better opportunities will come my way.

VASYL LOMACHENKO

“This is an opportunity to show everyone what I’m capable of doing and for millions of viewers to see that I can do it.

 

“The best fighters get the best opportunities in the ring, there are a lot of great fighters getting those opportunities including myself.

“I’m looking forward to this big fight Saterdag. It’s a blessing to participate in this type of press conference and come Saterdag, Ek sal wen! I’m sure of it. I will be champion.

“All of the attention toward Vasyl Lomachenko gives me motivation. I’ve been a fighter and a boxer since I was young and it’s added motivation to come out on top this weekend.

LAS VEGAS (April 29, 2015) - Floyd "Geld" Mayweather en Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao faced off for only the third time Woensdag during the final press conference for their long-awaited welterweight world championship unification fight this Saterdag, Mei 2, by die MGM Grand Garden Arena, leef op 'n betaal-per-aansig.

 

The last time the boxing superstars met face-to-face was at the Los Angeles press conference to formally announce the mega-fight on Maart 11. The first time they were photographed up close and personal came at a Miami Heat basketball game in January.

 

In the most eagerly awaited showdown in years – and the richest fight in boxing history — the undefeated and universally recognized No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer Mayweather (47-0, 26 Uitklophoue), an 11-time world champion in five weight divisions, will take on the fighting pride of the Philippines, Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Uitklophoue), the only boxer to capture world titles in eight weight classes.

 

Here is what the fighters and executives said Woensdag at the KÀ Theatre at the MGM Grand:

FLOYD Mayweather

“The only thing I can do is take it one day at a time. When the fight gets here I will go out there and do what I do best and that’s go out and fight.

 

“From the beginning of my career, I’ve always had a game plan. It’s just like chess. We make calculated moves in the ring and outside the ring. I got with the right team and surrounded myself with the right chess pieces.

 

“I’m a lot wiser than I once was. This fight sells itself. Our ultimate goal was to get to this point, whether it was Manny or another fighter.

 

“I don’t take anything away from Manny Pacquiao. He’s a solid fighter; a solid competitor and it will be an intriguing matchup come Saturday.

 

“Everything takes time, it’s all about timing. I’m glad that we had patience and didn’t rush. The time is now, this is the right time for this fight.

 

“I want to thank all the writers for being here. Some have been around since I was 10-years-old, some have been here for my 19 years in this sport. I’m thankful for all the writers, whether the stories were good stories or bad, you guys kept me relevant for 19 jaar.

 

“This fight is about one fighter who is at the top fighting another fighter who is at the top. It’s about giving you guys excitement. We don’t know how this fight is going to play out, but I believe in my skills. I believe I am going to be victorious.

 

“When I went to training camp I worked extremely hard to win this fight and I’m pretty sure Manny did the same. That’s why this is an intriguing matchup.”

MANNY PACQUIAO

“I don’t have a prediction, but I’m excited. I’m confident and I feel for the first time that I’m ready for the fight.

"I’m so happy because that feeling and that focus that I had many years ago, is terug. I’m confident and relaxed.

“My love and eagerness for this fight has made me especially interested.

“I would like to invite everyone to witness the great fight between Floyd and I this Saturday.

“I want to be an example and inspiration to people.

“Before I became a boxer, I used to sleep on the street. I can’t believe that I am in this position. The boy who didn’t have food and slept on the street can have this life.

“On Saturday our goal is to make the fans happy with our performance. Both of us will work very hard to entertain the fans and give a good fight.

“I hope that both Floyd and I do our best on Saturday and to put our name in boxing history.

“The most important thing I hope for is that after the fight I can talk with Floyd about being an inspiration to people all around the world.”

FLOYD Mayweather SR., Mayweather se Vader & Trainer

 

“Whatever happens on Saturday, it’s going to be one-sided. Pacquiao is going to sleep.

 

“I’m a trainer, I know what’s going on with fighters. Pacquiao doesn’t have it.

 

“Everybody can say what they want to say. I’ve said it before, Pacquiao can’t punch. I’m not worried about it. I’m going to have Floyd walk him down.”

 

FREDDIE ROACH, Pacquiao se afrigter

“When this fight was announced, Manny’s training level went way up. He’s really excited about this fight.

 

“I think we will win a decision and outpoint this guy. If the knockout comes then that will be a bonus.

“I think Manny likes to be the underdog. We like pulling upsets and doing things we’re not supposed to do. Manny is going to be that guy.

“We will put a lot of pressure on Floyd. Manny likes to exchange and with his hand speed, this fight will go in our favor.

“Manny is reckless, but that’s his style. He tries to win fights and people enjoy his fights. He gives it his all and sometimes you get knocked out, that’s part of boxing.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, Uitvoerende hoof van Mayweather Promotions

 

“The worldwide attention and interest in this event has been unbelievable and Floyd and Manny deserve it.

 

“Las Vegas has a rich history of hosting the biggest and best fights in the sport. Over the years Floyd Mayweather has made the MGM his home. This will be his 11ste consecutive fight at MGM Grand and the 14ste in his career.

 

“There are two great fighters that will be fighting on Saturday night and the focus needs to be on the fighters, no one else. The focus is on the fighters on Saturday night.

 

“On May 2, Floyd faces another huge challenge in fellow world champion Manny Pacquiao, in a fight that the whole world is waiting to see. Once again Floyd is out to prove that he is The Best Ever and I know he will on Saturday night.”

 

BOB ARUM, Hall of Fame Promoter, Top Rank

 

“This is a great promotion with two great fighters. I hope that this fight will help elevate the rest of boxing. I think based on the interest in this fight, there has been increased interest in boxing as well, and that’s great.

 

“People have spent a lot of time during this event watching Manny train, but more importantly, watching Freddie teach. It’s great to see two guys on the same wavelength, working on the strategy and then working it out in the ring.”

 

KEN HERSHMAN, President, HBO Sport

 

“The journey to this fight has been a remarkable one. In addition to the great writing and reporting that all the media has been doing, HBO has been putting on terrific programs for fight fans to enjoy and bring them closer to the sport.

 

“One important note for everyone, please order the pay-per-view Saturday night early, or if possible today or tomorrow. We expect that the ordering systems will be overwhelmed. Ook, there will be two undercard events starting at 9 namiddag. ET / 6 pm. PT and those events can end at any time. We want to make sure that no one misses any of the main event. Tune-in and tune-in early.”

 

STEPHEN Espinoza, Uitvoerende vise-president en Algemene Bestuurder, Showtime Sport

 

“This event is about two world-class athletes, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, who have been working for weeks and weeks, all of their lives really, to get to this precise moment.

 

“These two fighters have worked their entire lives to get to this moment.

 

“Floyd and Manny have great teams. Floyd will be the first one to tell you that his team deserves a lot of the credit for his success and I’ve heard Manny say very similar things.

 

“What makes this event so special and so historic, is that we have two once-in-a-generation athletes who will be meeting in the ring in about 72 uur. We are so proud to have been given the opportunity to be a part of such a highly anticipated event.”

 

RICHARD STORM, President van Vermaak & Sport vir MGM Resorts International

Young Stars Complement Epic Welterweight Championship Showdown
Between Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao

LAS VEGAS (April 27, 2015) – A full lineup of present and future boxing stars is set to entertain the MGM Grand Garden Arena crowd in pay-per-view and non-televised action before the history-making welterweight showdown between Floyd “Geld” Mayweather en Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao op Saterdag, Mei 2.

 

The pay-per-view undercard is topped by a pair of fights featuring two of boxing’s most talented and exciting stars as WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion Lion “Aardbewing” Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 Uitklophoue) faces Mexican brawler Jose Cayetano (17-3, 8 Uitklophoue) and WBO Featherweight World Champion Vasyl Lomachenko (3-1, 1 KO) takes on Puerto Rican contender Gamalier Rodriguez (25-2-3, 17 Uitklophoue).

 

The pay-per-view telecast will be co-produced and co-distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View® and SHOWTIME PPV® begin by9 namiddag. EN/ 6 namiddag. PT.

 

Exciting non-televised bouts round out the action in the arena as top undefeated prospects look to keep their perfect records intact.

 

The slick and undefeated Chris “Sweet” Pearson (11-0, 9 Uitklophoue) voldoen aan Gesê El Harrak (12-2, 7 Uitklophoue) in a 10-round middleweight bout and heavy-fisted Jesse Hart (16-0, 13 Uitklophoue) takes on fellow unbeaten Mike Jimenez (17-0, 11 Uitklophoue) in a 10-rounder or the NABO, USBA and NABF Super Middleweight titles.

 

An undefeated knockout artist looking to make it 10-for-10, Andrew “The Beast” Tabiti (9-0, 9 Uitklophoue) gesigte Anthony Caputo Smith (15-4, 10 Uitklophoue) in an eight- rounds cruiserweight match.

 

Kicking off the night of fights is undefeated contender Brad Salomo (24-0, 9 Uitklophoue), who’ll be opposed by Adrian Rene Granados (13-3, 9 Uitklophoue) in 'n 10-round super middelgewig bout.

 

“Mayweather Promotions is looking forward to bringing some of boxing’s most exciting current and future stars to the fans on the biggest night in our sport’s history,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, Uitvoerende hoof van Mayweather Promotions. “Whether you are watching on pay-per-view or in the arena, you are in store for an electric night of fights.”

 

“Each undercard match could be a main event on another card,” gesê Hall of Fame promotor Bob Arum van Top Rank. “Fans can watch the exciting action as a warm-up to the most anticipated fight in decades.”

 

Soos voorheen aangekondig, 26-jaar-oue Santa Cruz will be making his second appearance on a Floyd Mayweather pay-per-view undercard. The fan-friendly two-division world champion has defended his super bantamweight title numerous times in impressive fashion on his way to earning a reputation as one of the most exciting fighters in the world. Born in Huetamo, Michoaca de Ocampo, Mexico but fighting out of Los Angeles, Santa Cruz won his first world title in 2012. In 2013 he won his super bantamweight title.

 

Fighting out of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexiko, Cayetano draai pro in 2009 and sprinted to a 10-0 record before dropping a narrow split decision to Ruben Tamayo in 2011. He most recently dropped a decision to Enrique Bernache in February after defeating Dennis Contreras and Eden Marquez in his previous two starts. He hopes to make a grand impression in his U.S. debuut opMei 2.

 

Arguably the greatest amateur boxer of all-time, with two Olympic gold medals and two Amateur National Championships, 27-jaar-oue Lomachenko has already made a great impact in the professional ranks. He won his world title with a majority decision over Gary Russell Jr. verlede jaar. Making the second defense of his 126-pound title, the fighter out of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Ukraine will be going for his third straight win overall when he battles Rodriguez.

 

An accomplished veteran from Bayamon, Puerto Rico, Rodriguez gets an opportunity on boxing’s biggest stage when he battles Lomachenko. The 28-year-old has not lost a fight since 2009 en het 17 consecutive victories since a technical draw in 2010. He won twice in 2014, picking up a unanimous decision victory over Orlando Cruz and a second round TKO over Martin Cardona.

 

Veg uit Philadelphia, Hart was an accomplished amateur who was a 2012 U.S. Olympic alternate after earning a U.S. National Championship and a National Golden Gloves Championship. The 25-year-old will fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena for the first time since his professional debut in 2005 when he stopped Manuel Eastman in the first round. Hierdie keer, he will look to remain undefeated and catapult himself to contender status.

 

Undefeated and facing the biggest challenge of his career, die 27-jarige Jimenez will make his Las Vegas debut on Mei 2. Having already delivered a second round knockout over Kevin Engel in 2015 the fighter out of Chicago will look to impress on the biggest stage of his career against Hart.

 

A three-time National Golden Gloves Champion, Solomon fights out of Lafayette, Louisiana and is aiming to maintain his perfect record.. The 31-year-old picked up victories in 2014 over Eduardo Flores, Freddy Hernandez and Arman Ovsepyan. Solomon takes on the 25-year-old Granados out of Cicero, Illinois.
