梅威瑟 & 帕奎奥广场关闭
在另一个经典对决

在次中量级划分

LAS VEGAS (四月 20, 2015) — 人们常常说， “作为重量级去, 所以去拳击,” 但并非总是如此，并, 事实上, 甚至可能不会是有效的，从一个全面的角度可以追溯到晚看 19^日 世纪. 在 拳击, 德国作家伯特伦工作的史诗, 420-在甜蜜的科学的方方面面页咖啡桌论文, 他写道：, “优雅是在147之下磅重的类的苗条和灵活的明星，吸引美的内部人士和崇拜者一样，没有其他的商标。”

 

因此，这是什么将是在分裂时的丰富历史的另一标杆项, 上五月 2 在米高梅大酒店在拉斯维加斯, 住在按次观点, 次中量级冠军 弗洛伊德 “钱” 梅威瑟 (47-0, 26 科斯) 发生在同胞锦标 曼尼 “吃豆子” 帕奎奥(57-5-2, 38 科斯) 在期待已久的统一摊牌，这将是最富有的职业拳击这项运动的历史, 并已得出比较对一些总理的对决在一个重量级别印有该商标的优雅到招聘简称.

 

尽管帕奎奥, 唯一的战斗机有史以来赢得世界冠军八重类, 和梅威瑟, 谁曾在五个体重级别的统治, 还没有完全甚至大部分为welterweights的竞选, 这几乎是一个惊喜，他们非凡的职业生涯中最重要的交集来自于同一个部门为如此众多的拳击的最大的传说是已知的主要.

 

该 “黄金标准” 这是所有向往welterweights的仍然是后期, 伟大的糖罗宾森. 沃克出生的小史密斯, 瘦孩子谁在任何级别从来没有打过的认可回合是一个标签，连同主帅乔治盖恩福德在金斯敦一个业余赛, 纽约州. 问他是否有一个轻量级的，他希望进入, 盖恩福德刚想说没有，当史密斯拉着他的袖子，说, “我会打。” 事实证明, 盖恩福德有一个AAU卡 – 你需要一个认证，可作为非专业 – 在罗宾森的名字, 他的拳击手之一，谁放弃了这项运动. 史密斯/罗宾逊赢得了四回合的决定, 和, 虽然没有人知道它，然后, 因此，在一个传奇诞生.

 

罗宾逊 85-0 如转为职业选手之前在一个业余 19 在 1940. 由 1951, 他 128-1-2 同 84 淘汰赛的胜利. 虽然他还记得赢得中量级冠军五倍, 罗宾逊从来没有失去作为一个量级, 所以常常因此着重赢得了传奇教练, 埃迪Futch, 感动地看到，, “他拥有一切. 拳击技巧, 冲切力, 一个伟大的下巴, 精神力量. 有他一点办法也没有。”

 

罗宾逊也有一个丰厚的自​​我, 这或许是一个必要的组成部分，以任何伟大的战士的心理妆. 甚至一丝怀疑在自己的能力，不利于环成功. 一旦, 当问及他 “高尔夫游戏,” 穆罕默德·阿里, 谁不打高尔夫, 回复, “我是最棒的, 最大的'时间所有. 我只是还没有玩过呢。”

 

梅威瑟无疑带来了无敌的光环认为他的工作, 也许不只是因为他还没有失去作为一个专业. 在 2013, 他说，, “当然，我觉得别人无法匹敌的. 我是最棒的. 我不会进入任何战斗搞清楚我是不可战胜的. 我想打一个遗产作为自己永远谁进入环最伟大的战斗机。”

 

帕奎奥, 虽然也许不那么冗长, 没有在自己的信仰系统的安全性较低. 这是天赋和招摇，让梅威瑟与这些堆积措施. 帕奎奥一个必须看到的事件. 其中，这些优秀的战士可以让对方服从他的意志? 谁就有他的名字写在更大的打印在welterweights的的大书?

 

入选国际拳击名人堂入选了 23 谁是战士, 在同一时间或其他, 次中量级冠军. 除了罗宾逊, 那些斑恩神圣殿堂包括糖光芒伦纳德, 罗伯托·杜兰, 托马斯·赫恩斯, 霍亚, 费利克斯·特立尼达, 塞萨尔查韦斯, Pernell惠特克, 卡门巴西利奥, 亨利·阿姆斯特朗, 埃米尔·格里菲斯, Pipino奎瓦斯, 何塞Napoles, 柯蒂斯可乐, 巴尼·罗斯, 儿童加维兰, 威尔弗雷德·贝尼特斯, 路易斯·罗德里格斯·, 米奇·沃克, Fritzie Zivic, 杰克·布里顿, Jackie领域, 摊晒 “小子” 刘易斯和 “神秘” 比利·史密斯. 梅威瑟和帕奎奥当然放心，尽快加入他们的行列，因为他们成为有资格进入到投票.

 

铅行动梅威瑟VS. 帕奎奥没有产生以往的次中量级的冲突是明显的对那些发作的经典性短缺比较, 广泛的公众利益服务员给他们, 或者两者.

 

是梅威瑟VS. 帕奎奥更可能是一个重复, 说, 伦纳德 - 杜兰我, 其中杜兰赢得上月扶正祛邪一致决定 25, 1980, 在蒙特利尔? 史诗伦纳德，赫恩斯我, 在9月. 16, 1981, 它见证伦纳德, 尾随的记分卡上, 凝聚了戏剧性, 14^日-轮将军澳在凯撒宫? 他们在九月霍亚特立尼达的有争议的多数决定. 18, 1999, 统一摊牌在曼德勒海湾? 还是会作出自己的标记以这样一种独特的方式，没有比较可以或应该绘制?

 

当谈到难忘的次中量级的较量, 现在它应该是显而易见的，任何东西，一切皆有可能. 梅威瑟和帕奎奥将创造历史, 并添加到它, 通过尝试弯曲的命运每到自己的目的.

What Pacquiao, Top Rank CEO 阿鲁姆 and Hall of Fame trainer 罗奇 说星期三:

 

曼尼·帕奎奥, Eight-Division World Champion

 

“I feel very excited for the fight.

 

“I have a lot of sparring partners that are similar to Floyd’s fighting style, we have done well. We know what to expect.

 

“I have watched tape on Floyd to make sure that our strategy and technique in training camp is correct.

 

“My entire career defines my legacy; I have already accomplished great achievements in my career while excelling in different weight divisions. This fight is an additional achievement in my career; it’s the biggest fight in boxing history.

 

“I can say that beating Floyd would be the biggest victory of my career.

 

“More people are interested and informed about this fight now than they would’ve been five years ago.

 

“Style wise, I am the same fighter I was five years ago. My determination, inspiration and killer instinct is the exact same as it was five or six years ago.

 

“对我来说, boxing is my passion. I enjoy boxing and giving honor to my country of the Philippines. My concern is to bring an exciting fight to my fans. My first concern going into every fight is how will be to be able to entertain my fans, give them enjoyment and make them happy.

 

“The reason I am so loved by fans is because of my reckless style of fighting. People like exciting fights with actual punches being thrown.”

 

BOB ARUM, Top Rank CEO

 

“Manny is motivated, he’s ready for the fight. I expect a great performance from him.

 

“It’s a very interesting fight because Floyd is a defensive specialist who has a good right hand and picks off his opponents. He’s an extraordinarily good fighter.

 

“Pacquiao’s strength is speed, particularly his foot speed and the fact that he throws so many punches and attacks from low angles. He really hits harder than Floyd does, so that’s really what it’s going to be about.

 

“Floyd has a different defense than 马奎兹. His defense is primarily his shoulder roll. A lot of his defense is geared against a right handed fighter. 随着中说, I think Manny is going to surprise a lot of people with how he is going to be able to reach Floyd.

 

“I would say Manny is more motivated for this fight than any other fight I’ve seen him prepare for.

 

“我很期待 五月 2. I love Manny’s chances of winning, that’s the main thing. He looks great, 他有动力, no nonsense, and I think he’s going to put on a performance for the ages. It’s going to be hard for him to top his performance against Oscar De La Hoya, but I think he will in this fight.”

罗奇, Pacquiao’s Hall of Fame Trainer

 

“We have a great idea of when and where we are going to attack Mayweather.

 

“This fight was five years in the making. Promoters should realize that these types of fights are what’s best for boxing and we should have more fights like this. I’m not surprised by the hype surrounding the fight.

 

“Manny has really raised the bar in this training camp. He’s a different Manny Pacquiao than I have seen him going into previous training camps. He is punching so much harder in training for this camp.

 

“Manny is better than ever, his attitude is different and I’ve never seen him work this hard. His speed is faster, his punches are harder. I’m really happy where he’s at. His legs look great; he’s on his toes all the time.

 

“Mayweather is a good counter-puncher, but Manny has faster hands and his combinations are better than Floyd’s.

 

“Both fighters have great experience, so I don’t believe that will be a factor in the fight. The biggest thing is that each fighter comes in with a different style. Floyd is a counter-puncher but Manny must be the one to enforce the fight.

 

“I believe that Manny being a southpaw will be a factor in this fight. Manny showed me tape of Floyd fighting a southpaw and told me that that is exactly what we are going to do in this fight.

 

“I can tell how much this fight means to Manny because he has watched tape on Floyd. Manny has never watched tape on any fighter before.

 

“Since Manny moved to 147 he hasn’t knocked many guys out, so getting the knockout in this fight isn’t a concern for me. If Manny fights at 140, then he does knock guys out, but at this weight he is fighting guys who are bigger than him.

 

“Floyd may be a bigger guy, but we will still win the fight.

 

“This fight is much bigger than when Manny fought 霍亚. Manny is a different person going into this fight. He hit me so hard the other day that I believe it’s the hardest I’ve ever been hit by a fighter who I’m training.

 

“I don’t believe that Floyd ever wanted this fight, he was forced to take it by the public and the media. I wouldn’t be surprised if Floyd pulled out now.”
