147-Ang POUND WEIGHT CLASS ay KUMUHA NG CENTER STAGE MULA SA SABADO, MAYO 2 SA MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
Sa Isa Pang Klasikong Showdown

Sa The Welterweight Division

Las Vegas (Abril 20, 2015) — Ito ay madalas na sinabi na “habang pumapasok ang weightweight division, ganon din ang boxing,” ngunit hindi palaging ganito ang kaso at, sa katunayan, maaaring hindi man maging wasto kapag tiningnan mula sa isang komprehensibong pananaw mula pa noong huli 19ika siglo. Sa Boksing, Epiko ng may-akdang Aleman na si Bertram Job, 420-pahina ng disertasyon ng coffee-table sa lahat ng aspeto ng matamis na agham, siya ang nagsusulat nun, “Ang Elegance ay trademark ng mga payat at maliksi na mga bituin sa ilalim ng 147-pound weight class na nakakaakit ng mga tagaloob at tagahanga ng kagandahan na walang katulad.”

 

At ganoon din ang magiging isa pang benchmark entry sa mayamang kasaysayan ng paghahati kung kailan, saMayo 2 at MGM Grand sa Las Vegas, mabuhay sa pay-per-view, welterweyt mananalo Floyd “Pera” Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos) tumatagal sa kapwa titlist Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 Kos) sa isang pinakahihintay na showdown ng pag-iisa na ang magiging pinakamayamang premyo sa kasaysayan ng isport, 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.

 

Ang “gold standard” to which all welterweights aspire remains the late, great Sugar Ray Robinson. Born Walker Smith Jr., ang payat na bata na hindi pa nakikipaglaban sa isang parusa sa anumang antas ay isang tag-kasama si coach George Gainford sa isang amateur na paligsahan sa Kingston, N.Y.. Tinanong kung mayroon siyang isang flyweight nais niyang pumasok, Sasabihin sana ni Gainford na hindi nang kunin ni Smith ang kanyang manggas at sinabi, “Lalaban ako.” Ang kinalabasan, Si Gainford ay mayroong isang AAU card – kailangan mo ng isa upang ma-sertipikahan bilang isang hindi propesyonal – sa pangalan ni Ray Robinson, isa sa kanyang boksingero na sumuko sa isport. Nanalo si Smith / Robinson ng isang apat na bilog na desisyon, at, bagaman walang nakakaalam noon, kaya ipinanganak ang isang alamat.

 

Si Robinson ay 85-0 bilang isang baguhan bago maging pro sa 19 sa 1940. Sa pamamagitan ng 1951, siya ay 128-1-2 may 84 mga tagumpay sa knockout. Bagaman naalala rin siya sa pagkapanalo ng titulong middleweight ng limang beses, Hindi kailanman natalo si Robinson bilang welterweight, panalo nang madalas at napakahigpit na ang maalamat na tagapagsanay, Eddie Futch, ay nagalaw upang obserbahan iyon, “Nasa kanya ang lahat. Mga kasanayan sa boksing, pagsuntok kapangyarihan, isang mahusay na baba, lakas ng kaisipan. Wala siyang magawa.”

 

Si Robinson ay nagkaroon din ng isang outsized ego, na marahil ay isang kinakailangang sangkap sa pampaganda ng kaisipan ng anumang dakilang manlalaban. Kahit na ang isang bakas ng pag-aalinlangan sa sariling kakayahan ay hindi nakakatulong sa tagumpay sa singsing. Minsan, nang tanungin tungkol sa kanya “larong golf,” Muhammad Ali, sino ang hindi naglaro ng golf, sumagot, “Ako ang pinakamagaling, pinakadakila sa kanilang lahat. Hindi pa lang ako naglalaro.”

 

Tiyak na pinagsasama ni Mayweather ang aura ng kawalan ng pagkatalo sa kanyang trabaho, at marahil hindi lang dahil siya ay natalo pa bilang isang propesyonal. Sa 2013, sinabi niya, “Syempre pakiramdam ko hindi matatalo. Ako ang pinakamagaling. Hindi ako pupunta sa anumang pag-aaway sa pag-uunawa na ako ay matalo. Nais kong gumawa ng isang pamana para sa aking sarili bilang pinakadakilang manlalaban na pumasok sa ring.”

 

Pacquiao, habang marahil ay hindi bilang pandiwa, ay hindi gaanong ligtas sa kanyang sariling paniniwala system. Ang mga sukat ng talento at swagger na iyon ang gumagawa ng Mayweather vs.. Isang dapat na makita na kaganapan. Alin sa mga natitirang mandirigmang ito ang maaaring gawin ang iba pang yumuko sa kanyang kalooban? Sino ang isusulat ang kanyang pangalan sa mas malaking pag-print sa malaking libro ng welterweights?

 

Ipinasok ang International Boxing Hall of Fame 23 mga mandirigma na, sa isang oras o iba pa, welterweight champion. Bilang karagdagan kay Robinson, ang mga may mga plake na pinuri sa banal na bulwagan ay kasama si Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Oscar de la Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen Basilio, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Jose Napoles, Curtis Coke, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Batang kambing” Si Lewis at “Misteryoso” Billy Smith. Tiniyak sina Mayweather at Pacquiao na sumali sa kanilang ranggo sa sandaling maging karapat-dapat na silang pumunta sa balota.

 

Ang nanguna sa Mayweather vs.. Hindi nagkaroon ng kakulangan sa paghahambing si Pacquiao sa nakaraang welterweight clash na kapansin-pansin para sa klasikong kalikasan ng mga laban na iyon, ang laganap na interes ng interes ng publiko sa kanila, o pareho.

 

Si Mayweather vs.. Malamang na maulit si Pacquiao, sabihin, Leonard-Duran I, kung saan nanalo si Duran sa isang nakapupukaw na lubos na nagkakaisang desisyon noong Hunyo 25, 1980, sa Montreal? Ang epiko na Leonard-Hearns I, sa Sept. 16, 1981, na nakita si Leonard, sumunod sa scorecards, rally para sa isang dramatiko, 14ika-pag-ikot ng TKO sa Caesars Palace? Ang kontrobersyal na desisyon ng mayorya ng Trinidad laban kay De La Hoya sa kanilang Sept. 18, 1999, pagsasama-sama ng pagbubuklod sa Mandalay Bay? O gagawa ba ito ng sarili nitong marka sa isang natatanging paraan na walang paghahambing na maaari o dapat iguhit?

 

Pagdating sa hindi malilimutang mga welterweight bout, sa ngayon dapat maging malinaw na ang anumang bagay at lahat ay posible. Magkakaroon ng kasaysayan sina Mayweather at Pacquiao, at idagdag dito, sa pamamagitan ng pagtatangka na yumuko ang bawat isa sa kanilang sariling hangarin.

Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos), who represents the Sarangani province in the Philippines, hosted a Hollywood Media Workout with his Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach and Hall of Promoter Bob Arum.

 

Over 300 media from around the globe flocked to Wild Card Boxing Club to ask the trio about Pacquiao’s Mayo 2 welterweight world championship unification battle against undefeatedFLOYD “Pera” MAYWEATHER JR. (47-0, 26 Kos), sa MGM Grand Garden Arena sa Las Vegas.

 

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank Inc., the live pay-per-view telecast will be co-produced and co-distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View® at SHOWTIME PPV® magmula sa 9:00 p.m. AT/ 6:00 p.m. PT.

 

What Pacquiao, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum and Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach nabanggitMiyerkules:

 

MANNY PACQUIAO, 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.

 

“Sa akin, 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 Juan Manuel Marquez. His defense is primarily his shoulder roll. A lot of his defense is geared against a right handed fighter. Kasama na ang sinabi, 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.

 

“Naghahanap ako inaabangan ang panahon na Mayo 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.”


FREDDIE 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.

 

“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 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.”
