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 na 13 Kos. Errol?
Errol Spence Jr.
Hi, 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. Hopefully, baada ya vita hii, baada ya utendaji hii kubwa, Naweza kuwa tukio kuu juu ya NBC.
Q
Je, unajisikia kama wewe ni kusonga njia unataka kuwa kusonga? Faster? Slower? Where you’re supposed to be? Kisha, muda gani unadhani, kwamba kama unaweza kuchukua huduma ya mpinzani wako, Roberto Garcia, mwishoni mwa wiki hii, kuwa unaweza kupata katika vita hata muhimu zaidi, labda kwa jina wakati fulani?
Na. 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. Hopefully, Naweza kupata jina maarufu zaidi mpinzani, hopefully zamani bingwa wa dunia katika huko, na kisha kwa wakati mwingine mapema mwaka ujao, Siwezi kupigania cheo.
Q
Kwa mujibu wa watu wengi, ungekuwa mpiganaji wengi wenye vipaji juu United States Olimpiki Timu katika 2012 na guy na uwezo zaidi kama mtaalamu. Ni kwamba ovyo kwa ajili yenu? Does it motivate you? Do you believe your clippings? How do you stay focused? Because it seems like you are a pretty focused guy, Njia tumekuwa kwenda kuhusu biashara yako.
Na. Spence Jr.
Kwa jambo moja, kukaa ililenga kitu tu mimi kawaida kufanya, 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, na mimi nataka kuangalia kubwa, 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. Mimi tu kukaa umakini na tu kukaa ari, na mimi itakuwa dhahiri mapigano wapinzani zaidi inayojulikana, kama Robert Guerrero au Keith Thurman au Amir Khan au mtu kama hicho.
Q
Nini basi anafanya ushindi dhidi Garcia kufanya katika suala la kupata wewe huko?
Na. Spence Jr.
Roberto Garcia, yeye ni mgumu, yeye mkongwe, na nadhani mimi kuwa matarajio na kwenye verge ya kuwa mgombea, Mimi nilikuwa na uso guy kama hicho, guy na mengi ya uzoefu na rekodi nzuri kwa kweli, 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, lakini nina kupambana naye kupata wale guys.
Q
Na kuibuka kwa mengi ya wapiganaji wa Ulaya ya Mashariki, ambao kupigania cheo katika mtaalamu mapambano yao ya pili au ya tatu, kufanya wewe kujisikia shinikizo aina ya hatua ya juu ya mchakato yako mwenyewe na kuchukua mapambano kali na kuendeleza kidogo wepesi kuliko tumekuwa kawaida kuonekana wapiganaji wa Marekani katika siku za nyuma?
Na. Spence Jr.
Je Si. I don’t necessarily feel pressured. Everybody has their own path that they have to take. What those guys did was great, na hiyo ni ajabu na kweli kusikilizwa, lakini kila mtu ana njia zao wenyewe, na kila mtu kukua tofauti.
Q
Errol, tangu PBC imeanza utangazaji mapambano, katika 2015, umeshapata, mapambano moja kwenye Garcia-Peterson undercard, lakini fighter yako ya kibiashara au mtambo wako, hiyo imekuwa kupata mengi ya yatokanayo. Je, unaweza kuniambia nini kwamba imekuwa kama kuona mwenyewe kwenye TV na nini majibu imekuwa yatokanayo kwamba?
Na. Spence, Jr.
It’s been great. Mimi nina msisimko. 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, miaka kumi, miaka kumi na moja, 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
Ulisema 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, au ni wale mapambano unataka? It sounded like you might have been alluding to a different fight. Nini mimi wanashangaa ni kama unaweza kuona guys wale kama katika njia yako ya kupambana na Mayweather?
Na. 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, hizi ni guys kwamba ni kwenda kuwa eti mbio mgawanyiko, 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
Nataka kuuliza kuhusu nini unajua ya mpinzani wako, Roberto Garcia? Je, wewe kufikiria, kama pro, Garcia kuwa ngumu mpiganaji kwamba umefanya wanakabiliwa?
Na. 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. Alikuwa 15-0, na mimi nilikuwa 8-0 wakati. But I mean it could be. Yeye ni mgumu, yeye uzoefu, and he’s gritty. I know he’s going to come to fight, hivyo hii itakuwa ni moja ya mapambano yangu ngumu kwa tarehe.
Q
Sasa, 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?
Na. Spence Jr.
Mimi kukaa katika 147, and welterweight is my weight class. A lot of times I might fight at 148 au kitu kama hicho, lakini 147 ni uzito darasani kwamba mimi nina mapigano katika.
K. Swanson
Okay, hiyo ilikuwa swali lako iliyopita, Errol, but I have one for you that I’d like to add here. The weekend is Father’s Day weekend, na kutokana na kile nimepata kusoma kuhusu wewe, baba yako alikuwa pretty muhimu katika kuhakikisha wewe alikuwa ndondi kazi. Mimi wanashangaa kama unaweza kushiriki nasi kidogo kuhusu uhusiano wako na baba yako, umuhimu alikuwa katika maendeleo ya ndondi yako uwezo, na kama yeye itabidi akae nanyi mwishoni mwa wiki hii katika Las Vegas.
Na. Spence Jr.
Baba yangu, he got me started in boxing. Alikuwa dereva wa lori, hivyo alitumia gari mara moja, na kisha yeye itabidi kupata nyumbani 12:00 p.m. au baadaye kisha kuchukua mimi kwa mazoezi. Then after that he’d come from the gym, ilikuwa ni kama 5:00 au 6:00 p.m., na angeweza kupumzika kwa masaa moja au mbili na kwenda moja kwa moja kufanya kazi. Wakati huo, Mimi si kweli kufikiri juu yake, lakini kidogo kidogo kama mimi got wakubwa na hekima, kutambua sadaka yote aliyokuwa sadaka kwa ajili yangu na kuwa na uwezo wa sanduku na kwenda mashindano haya yote ya kitaifa na mashindano haya yote nje ya nchi na mambo. He had to pay for the hotel, kulipa kwa ajili ya chakula na mambo kama hayo nje ya mfukoni. We didn’t have any sponsors and stuff like that.
Yeye ina sehemu kubwa ya ndondi yangu kazi. He’s my supporter. That’s my mentor. That’s like my best friend. For Father’s Day, Mimi nina kwenda kupata naye kushinda, nayo itakuja kuwa ushindi wa kuvutia ambayo yeye itabidi kuwa na kiburi ya na yeye itabidi upendo. He played a big part in my career. Without him, Najua mimi bila kuwa na ndondi.
K. Swanson
Mkuu. Thanks for sharing that. I know he was an important part of your story. Hivyo, Leonard, that is it on the side for Errol. We appreciate you taking the time out of your training. Bora wa bahati na wewe, na tunatarajia kuangalia wewe juu ya PBC juu ya 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, na yeye itabidi kuwa na kuangalia kwa kuja kwa njia Jumamosi usiku na utendaji kazi kubwa.
Na. Spence Jr.
Asante. 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
Katika tukio kuu, tuna mapambano ya kusisimua sana. 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. Like I said, yeye kuja kwetu kutoka nje ya 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, na 16 Kos, mwingine zaidi ya zamani welterweight bingwa wa dunia, “Showtime” Shawn Porter.
Shawn Porter
Nini juu, kila mtu? Thanks for having me on.
Ken Porter
Asante guys kwa ajili ya kuanzishwa ajabu, 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, ni mwaka mzima, 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, ambayo siyo tatizo ama.
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, na kisha tulikuwa aliwakumbusha kwamba tulikuwa na wito huu mkutano na nyie, hivyo ilikuwa kabisa hakuna tatizo kwa sisi kurudi nyumbani na kukaa chini kwa muda kidogo na kuchukua wito huu kwa sababu yote ya kufanya kazi kwa bidii tayari kufanyika, sio tu katika vita hii au kambi hii, 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, na sisi ni kuangalia mbele kwa mapambano mkubwa juu ya Jumamosi usiku dhidi ya mpiganaji mkubwa.
Q
Umefanya nini tofauti katika kambi hii ya mafunzo kujiandaa kwa ajili ya kupambana hii na kasi ya Adrien Broner?
S. Kuvaa
Unajua nini, I’ll let you know. Ndiyo, 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. Hivyo, ni nini tumekuwa kufanya, tu katika ngazi ya juu. We’re not overlooking his speed. We’ve just done more of what we need to do to prepare for it, ambayo ni nini tumekuwa daima kufanyika.
K. Kuvaa
Tu kukupa guys maelezo kidogo, Nadhani Devon Alexander ni moja ya mabondia kasi katika ndondi, kipindi. 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, katika vikao, 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, hivyo wakati wewe majadiliano juu ya kasi guy, si kwamba kitu sisi ni wasiwasi na.
tatizo ambalo kwamba guy itabidi kukabiliana na ni tuko haraka, and we’ve got power to come along with that. Hivyo, we’re prepared for that. Just like Shawn said, we just continue doing what we’ve already done. At this point in time, kwamba siyo jambo wakati wote, hivyo sisi ni tayari kwa ajili ya kwamba.
Q
Je, kwa namna yoyote ile wewe mwenyewe tayari kwa ajili labda antics kwamba kuja pamoja katika pete na Adrien Broner?
S. Kuvaa
Unajua nini, I haven’t. I understand that could arise during the fight. My whole thing is this, na ni kitu ambacho baba yangu daima taabu juu yangu, is being professional at all times. Being professional means maintaining your composure and staying poised and sticking to the game plan no matter what. Hivyo, bila kujali aweze kufanya au kusema wakati wa mapambano, zaidi ya uwezekano kwamba maana mimi nina kufanya kitu sahihi, 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. Mimi ni mimi ni nani, na mimi kupata kazi kufanyika.
K. Kuvaa
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, na tunakwenda Las Vegas, sehemu kubwa ya mapambano makubwa wakati wote, nafasi kubwa ya kuwa na mapambano, lakini alifanya unafikiri labda kwamba nyie itakuwa duking ni nje katika Ohio kutatua haki za majisifu kwa ajili ya hali?
S. Kuvaa
Mimi nina Ohio kaskazini guy, sio tu 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. Tena, kila kitu nimejifunza, I learned from my dad. He told me a long time ago, anasema kama unataka kuboresha, kama unataka kupata bora na kufanya mambo katika ngazi ya juu, nimepata kuondoka na wakati mwingine kuondoka nyumbani peke yake na utunzaji wa biashara yako.
Pamoja na kwamba kuwa alisema, 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
Jinsi ngumu ni kwenda kuwa kwa wewe kupata chini ya 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. Kuvaa
I’ll answer the first question first. Sasa hivi, tuko 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, Nilimwambia, chochote tunahitaji kufanya ili kufanya vita.
Nadhani kuna mtoto mdogo kutoka Cincinnati ambaye ni hofu ya mapigano katika 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, yeye si kupata yoyote.
Jambo zuri kuhusu ni mimi nina heri kwamba nina mwili mkubwa, and somehow we can get my body to do what it needs to do. Wakati wa mwisho wa siku, all I can do is give it up to God. It’s been great along the way and, kama wewe alisema, Mimi vita kama juu kama 165 katika amateurs na hata 154 juu ya kugeuka pro, na sasa 147 for the last about four or five years. It’s been great, na kwenda chini wachache paundi zaidi haitakuwa tatizo.
K. Kuvaa
I call it addition by subtraction. As he loses weight, he increases his opportunity for big fights. Hivyo, tukienda kutoka 154 kwa 147, na kuna mapambano makubwa huko na majina makubwa mapambano huko. Hapa tumekuwa kuulizwa kuja chini wachache paundi zaidi, 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. Hivyo, 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, wote wewe na Adrien wamekuwa katika mapambano baadhi ya kusisimua, but you’re also both very good boxers also. What is your take on how this is going to play out?
S. Kuvaa
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. Pamoja na kwamba kuwa alisema, tuko hodari, ambayo ni kubwa, 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, kuchomwa, shinikizo, kukabiliana na, yote.
Q
Wakati ukiangalia rekodi Adrien Broner ya, unaweza kuona yeye alikuwa na kuwa hasara kwa 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. Kuvaa
Ndiyo. We’ve taken a look at a number of his fights, sio tu mbaya, but also the good. I’m steadily reminding myself not to underestimate him, si kufikiri kuwa mimi nina kwenda kuja huko na kufanya kila kitu kwamba Maidana walimtendea jinsi, and that’s it and I’ll get the win. We look to do so much more than what Maidana did, lakini shinikizo kwamba Maidana kutumika kuwa vita nzima ilikuwa kubwa na ilikuwa nini alihitaji.
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, na tuko tayari kwa ajili yake.
Q
Kumekuwepo na mambo maalum ambayo wameweza kujifunza au iliyopita katika njia yako tangu mapambano yako mwaka jana na Kell Brook?
S. Kuvaa
Yes and no. I think with that fight, mambo ambayo tumekuwa iliyopita na kufanya kazi ya zaidi kuwa zaidi, namba moja, akili na kisha namba mbili, shemu. Mimi itabidi kusema, namba moja, akili kwa sababu kulikuwa na mambo mengi ambayo waliulizwa yangu katika kona ya kwamba sikuwa kuingiza wakati wa mechi. Wakati wa mwisho wa siku, Naweza kuangalia mwenyewe, and that’s the reason those things didn’t show up. We worked on a lot of mental preparation since that fight, kuwa na uwezo wa kusikiliza siyo tu kona na kutekeleza maagizo hayo wakati wa mapambano na kisha shemu.
There were a lot of things I didn’t do in that fight. I got a little wild at points. Baada ya kupambana na, mara moja sisi got nyuma mafunzo, sisi kurudi njia yote ya mambo ya msingi kama sisi daima kufanya, lakini sisi kuweka mkazo zaidi kidogo juu ya suala akili pamoja na shemu.
Q
Vita hii itakuja kuwa Jumamosi usiku, tukio kuu, wakati mkuu, juu ya NBC katika karibu kila nyumba nchini, and it’s going to be televised internationally. Tell us about how that affects you, kuwa katika vile Marquis mapambano.
S. Kuvaa
Unajua nini, Siwezi ahadi yenu hii, this is something that I’ve always envisioned and I’ve always looked forward to. My fight with Julio Diaz, wakati mimi kwanza kupatikana nje ilikuwa ni saa 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, jinsi kubwa anapata, taa, 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, hivyo mimi itabidi kuchukua ni pamoja na hakuna tatizo wakati wote.
Q
Je, kuna uadui yoyote legit kati ya wewe na Adrien?
S. Kuvaa
Unajua nini, 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, kuwa juu ya hatua, kuwa 100%, na mtoto ambaye aliamua kufanya mkataba, uzito 144, matakwa si kuzungumza kuhusu uzito mkataba, matakwa si kuzungumzia lolote kifungu rehydration, anataka kuepuka mazungumzo yoyote yanayohusiana na uzito mipaka au kitu kama hicho.
zaidi na zaidi sisi majadiliano kuhusu hilo, 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, na uzito wangu darasani ni 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 na kisha hawataki kuzungumza juu yake.
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, lakini mimi namjua kwa mbali.
Pamoja na kwamba kuwa alisema, ni daima imekuwa zaidi ya, “Hey, jinsi unafanya?” aina ya uhusiano, si “Hebu kwenda katika klabu ya usiku wa leo” aina ya uhusiano na pia, si “Kwa nini unaongea na mimi kwenu? Mimi naweza kuwa kupigana nanyi wakati mwingine,” relationship. Hivyo, we’re cool. The night of the fight, tutakuwa na maadui kwa ajili ya 12 raundi, or however many rounds it lasts. Baada ya hapo, Mimi nitakuwa Mimi ni nani na kuwa wa kitaalamu na basi ndondi utunzaji wa yenyewe.
Q
Je, uzito hii kujisikia vizuri, au unaweza kuona mwenyewe kusonga kulia nyuma hadi welterweight baada ya hayo?
S. Kuvaa
Ni wazi tukiwa hoja hii kwa sababu, and that was to fight the kid. Baada ya hapo, 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, na bora wangu kinaenda kuwa 144 Jumamosi.
K. Swanson
Okay. That actually was your last media question, lakini mimi nina kwenda kuuliza swali mwenyewe, something that I actually shared with Errol Spence too. It’s Father’s Day weekend for the big boxing weekend in Las Vegas. Nadhani kila mtu katika ndondi anajua kuhusu karibu, intimate relationship that the Porters have. I’d like, Shawn, kwa wewe kushiriki nasi nini baba yako ina maana kwako na yaliyo wewe ni mipango kwa ajili ya Siku ya Baba baada ya Jumamosi usiku.
S. Kuvaa
Kusema kweli, 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, kama familia, kama timu? Mimi nina msisimko juu ya kuwa na vita hii kuwa usiku kabla ya Siku ya Baba, na mimi nina kuangalia mbele na kuwa na uwezo wa kuamka na kwenda juu ya ndani ya chumba ijayo na kuamka baba yangu na tu ajabu katika kile ambacho tumefanya, wazi, si tu katika pete lakini kile sisi sasa kama familia na kama timu.
Anamaanisha dunia kwangu, na anajua kwamba. I definitely know I mean the world to him. I’ve said this before, upendo tulio nao, kwamba sisi kushiriki, sisi kubeba kwamba kwa pete na kila mmoja, and it’s unparalleled. You can’t match it. Hiyo ina maana kubwa. That makes a difference during the fight.
K. Swanson
Leonard, Ningependa kugeuka kuwa juu na wewe kwa maoni jana.
L. Ellerbe
Okay. 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, na nadhani ni kwenda kuwa ya kusisimua sana kupambana kuja Jumamosi usiku.
Mimi nina hisia sana na 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. Like I said, 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, kumweka juu ya mstari, kufanya nini inachukua kulisha familia zao na kuwapa mashabiki wanataka nini.
Tunatarajia Jumamosi usiku, mapambano kubwa kwa mashabiki. Asante wote kwa tuning katika.
