147-POUND WEIGHT CLASS TAKES CENTER STAGE AGAIN ON SATURDAY, მაისი 2 AT THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
In Another Classic Showdown

In The Welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (აპრილი 20, 2015) — It has often been said that “as the heavyweight division goes, so goes boxing,” but that has not always been the case and, სინამდვილეში, might not even be valid when viewed from a comprehensive perspective dating back to the late 19ე century. In კრივი, German author Bertram Job’s epic, 420-page coffee-table dissertation on all aspects of the sweet science, he writes that, “Elegance is the trademark of the slim and nimble stars in the under 147-pound weight class that has attracted insiders and admirers of beauty like no other.”

 

And so it is with what will be another benchmark entry in the rich history of the division when, onმაისი 2 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, ცხოვრობს pay-per-view, welterweight ჩემპიონი Floyd “ფული” Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos) takes on fellow titlist Manny “Pacman” პაკიაო(57-5-2, 38 Kos) in a long-anticipated unification showdown that will be the richest prizefight in the sport’s history, and which has drawn comparisons to some of the premier matchups in a weight class imprinted with that elegant trademark to which Job referred.

 

Although Pacquiao, the only fighter ever to win world championships in eight weight classes, and Mayweather, who has reigned in five weight classes, have not campaigned solely or even mostly as welterweights, it is hardly a surprise that the most important intersection of their remarkable careers comes in the same division for which so many of boxing’s greatest legends are primarily known.

 

The “gold standard” to which all welterweights aspire remains the late, great Sugar Ray Robinson. Born Walker Smith Jr., the skinny kid who had never fought in a sanctioned bout at any level was a tag-along with coach George Gainford to an amateur tournament in Kingston, N.Y.. Asked if he had a flyweight he wished to enter, Gainford was about to say no when Smith tugged on his sleeve and said, “I’ll fight.” As it turned out, Gainford had an AAU card – you needed one to be certified as a non-professional – in the name of Ray Robinson, one of his boxers who had given up the sport. Smith/Robinson won a four-round decision, და, although no one knew it then, thus was a legend born.

 

Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur before turning pro at 19 in 1940. მიერ 1951, he was 128-1-2 ერთად 84 knockout victories. Although he is also remembered for winning the middleweight title five times, Robinson never lost as a welterweight, winning so often and so emphatically that the legendary trainer, ედი Futch, was moved to observe that, “He had everything. Boxing skills, Punching ძალა, a great chin, mental strength. There was nothing he couldn’t do.”

 

Robinson also had an outsized ego, which perhaps is a necessary component to any great fighter’s mental makeup. Even a trace of doubt in one’s own ability is not conducive to success in the ring. Once, when asked about his “golf game,” მუჰამედ ალი, who didn’t play golf, responded, “I’m the best, greatest of ’em all. I just haven’t played yet.”

 

Mayweather certainly brings that aura of invincibility to his work, and maybe not just because he has yet to lose as a professional. In 2013, მან განაცხადა,, “Of course I feel unbeatable. I’m the best. I’m not going into any fight figuring that I’m beatable. I want to make a legacy for myself as the greatest fighter who ever entered the ring.”

 

პაკიაო, while perhaps not as verbose, is no less secure in his own belief system. It is those heaping measures of talent and swagger that make Mayweather vs. Pacquiao a must-see event. Which of these outstanding fighters can make the other bend to his will? Who will have his name written in larger print in the big book of welterweights?

 

The International Boxing Hall of Fame has inducted 23 fighters who were, at one time or another, welterweight champions. In addition to Robinson, those whose plaques grace the hallowed hall include Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, თომას Hearns, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen ბაზილი, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Jose Nápoles, Curtis Cokes, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Kid” Lewis and “Mysterious” Billy Smith. Mayweather and Pacquiao are of course assured of joining their ranks as soon as they become eligible to go onto the ballot.

 

The lead-up to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao has generated no shortage of comparisons to past welterweight clashes that are notable for the classic nature of those bouts, the widespread public interest attendant to them, or both.

 

Is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao more likely to be a repeat of, ამბობენ, Leonard-Duran I, which Duran won on a rousing unanimous decision on June 25, 1980, მონრეალში? The epic Leonard-Hearns I, სექტემბერი. 16, 1981, which saw Leonard, trailing on the scorecards, rally for a dramatic, 14ე-round TKO at Caesars Palace? Trinidad’s controversial majority decision over De La Hoya in their Sept. 18, 1999, unification showdown at the Mandalay Bay? Or will it make its own mark in such a distinctive way that no comparisons can or should be drawn?

 

When it comes to unforgettable welterweight bouts, by now it should be obvious that anything and everything is possible. Mayweather and Pacquiao will make history, and add to it, by attempting to bend destiny each to their own purpose.

რა პაკიაო, უმაღლესი რანგის აღმასრულებელი დირექტორი Bob Arum დიდების დარბაზის ტრენერი ფრედი Roach განაცხადაოთხშაბათი:

 

MANNY PACQUIAO, რვა დივიზიონის მსოფლიო ჩემპიონი

 

“ძალიან აღელვებული ვარ ბრძოლისთვის.

 

“ბევრი სპარინგ პარტნიორი მყავს, რომლებიც ფლოიდის საბრძოლო სტილის მსგავსია, ჩვენ კარგად მოვიქეცით. ჩვენ ვიცით, რას უნდა ველოდოთ.

 

“ფლოიდზე ვნახე ფილმი, რომ დავრწმუნდე, რომ ჩვენი ბანაკის სტრატეგია და ტექნიკა სწორია.

 

“მთელი ჩემი კარიერა განსაზღვრავს ჩემს მემკვიდრეობას; მე უკვე მივაღწიე დიდ მიღწევებს ჩემს კარიერაში, ხოლო სხვადასხვა წონის განყოფილებებში გამოირჩეოდი. ეს ბრძოლა დამატებითი მიღწევაა ჩემს კარიერაში; ეს უდიდესი ბრძოლაა კრივის ისტორიაში.

 

“შემიძლია ვთქვა, რომ ფლოიდის დამარცხება ჩემი კარიერის უდიდესი გამარჯვება იქნება.

 

“ახლა უფრო მეტი ადამიანი არის დაინტერესებული და ინფორმირებული ამ ბრძოლის შესახებ, ვიდრე ხუთი წლის წინ იქნებოდა.

 

“სტილი გონივრული, მე ვარ იგივე მებრძოლი, როგორიც ხუთი წლის წინ ვიყავი. ჩემი მონდომება, ინსპირაცია და მკვლელის ინსტიქტი ზუსტად იგივეა, რაც ხუთი-ექვსი წლის წინ.

 

“ჩემთვის, კრივი ჩემი გატაცებაა. მე მსიამოვნებს კრივი და პატივს ვცემ ფილიპინების ჩემს ქვეყანას. ჩემი საზრუნავი არის საინტერესო ბრძოლა შევიტანო ჩემი გულშემატკივრებისთვის. ჩემი პირველი საზრუნავი ყველა ბრძოლაში მონაწილეობა არის ის, თუ როგორ იქნება ჩემი გულშემატკივრის გართობა, დატკბით და გაახარეთ.

 

“გულშემატკივრების მიზეზი, რაც ასე მიყვარდა, ბრძოლის უგუნური სტილია. ხალხს მოსწონს ამაღელვებელი ბრძოლები და ისვრის ბურთები.”

 

BOB ARUM, უმაღლესი რანგის აღმასრულებელი დირექტორი

 

“მანი მოტივირებულია, 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 ხუან მანუელ მარკესი. His defense is primarily his shoulder roll. A lot of his defense is geared against a right handed fighter. რომ განაცხადა, 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.

 

“მოუთმენლად ველი მაისი 2. I love Manny’s chances of winning, that’s the main thing. He looks great, he’s motivated, 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.”


ფრედი Roach, 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.

 

“მანიმ მართლაც გაზარდა ბარი ამ სასწავლო ბანაკში. ის სხვა მანი პაკიაოა, ვიდრე მე მინახავს, ​​რომ წინა საწვრთნელ ბანაკებში მიდიოდა. ის ძალიან მკაცრად ურტყამს ამ ბანაკის ტრენინგს.

 

“მანი უკეთესია, ვიდრე ოდესმე, მისი დამოკიდებულება განსხვავებულია და მე არასოდეს მინახავს, ​​რომ ამდენი შრომა გაეწია. მისი სიჩქარე უფრო სწრაფია, მისი მუშტები უფრო რთულია. მე ნამდვილად ბედნიერი ვარ, სადაც ის იმყოფება. მისი ფეხები შესანიშნავად გამოიყურება; ის მუდამ ფეხის თითებზეა.

 

“მეივეზერი კარგი საწინააღმდეგო მუშტია, მაგრამ მენის უფრო სწრაფი ხელები აქვს და მისი კომბინაციები უკეთესია, ვიდრე ფლოიდი.

 

“ორივე მებრძოლს დიდი გამოცდილება აქვს, ასე რომ, არ მჯერა, რომ ეს ბრძოლის ფაქტორია. ყველაზე დიდი ის არის, რომ თითოეული მებრძოლი განსხვავებული სტილით მოდის. 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 Oscar De La Hoya. 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.”
