BY Roc Nation SPORTS VORGESTELLT + MIGUEL COTTO PROMOTIONS

 

New York (Mai 19, 2015) – Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KO), the reigning WBC and Ring Magazine Middleweight World Champion and the first native of Puerto Rico to become world champion in four different weight classes will defend his titles against former Two-Time World Champion Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 KO) of Australia on Juni 6, 2015 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn in a 12-round fight that will be televised live on HBO. Geale hosted a New York City media workout this afternoon at Mendez Boxing Gym in preparation for his title challenge against Cotto. Here’s what Geale, and his American promoter Gary Shaw, zu sagen hatte:

 

Daniel Geale – Former Two-Time World Champion

 

“Cotto has trouble in stages against guys that move and use their reach. He knows that’s what I’m going to be doing and he’s going to be trying to counter that with aggression and coming forward. I’m going to use my abilities and not get caught up in his game plan.”

 

“The game plan is to go in and fight my fight. It’s not to get sucked in. It’s not to get caught up in what he [Gekocht] is doing. It’s to do what I do best.”

 

“This is going to be a huge fight for me. Fighting a guy like Miguel who’s fought some of the greatest fighters is going to be a great test. We’re going in very confident.”

 

“I want this one badly. It’s something that we have wanted for a while and I’m extremely excited. I’ve got guys like Gary Shaw and my team at the Grange from Australia and they are working very hard behind the scenes. I’m just going to worry about my job and they do their job greatly. I just worry about getting myself in perfect condition.”

 

Gary Shaw – President of Gary Shaw Productions

 

“If Daniel wins, Cotto has a rematch clause, so if Cotto wants the immediate rematch then that’s what he gets. Wenn nicht, according to WBC, it would be GGG again, but it doesn’t make a difference. Daniel will fight anybody, irgendwo. We went to Germany and fought Strum on his territory. He’s coming to New York which is Cotto’s town. It just doesn’t make a difference when you have a great fighter.”

 

“It’s going to be a great show and the fans are going to get what they want. Tune in for a great fight on Juni 6. It’s going to be a great night of boxing.”

STIL

Mayweather:

Ein reiner Boxer mit großer Geschwindigkeit, der alles gut macht mit einem Arsenal, das einen Schnappschuss beinhaltet, präzise rechte Hand und ein linker Haken, der mit enormer Wirkung verdoppelt und verdreifacht werden kann. Verwendet Finte-Moves, um Gegner einzufrieren und Schlagbahnen zu öffnen. Steckt sein Kinn gut hinter die Schulter, um mit Schlägen zu rollen. Sogar an den Seilen, Er ist ein schwieriges Ziel, auf das man einen soliden Schlag landen kann. Er hat keine große Schlagkraft. Die meisten seiner Stoppsiege sind darauf zurückzuführen, dass er seine Gegner übertroffen und übertroffen hat, aber selten saubere Ko-Spiele erzielt hat.

 

Pacquiao:

Pacquiao-Boxen aus einer Südpfotenhaltung, vorwärts gehen und seinen Weg hinein wackeln und täuschen. Einmal in der Nähe, Er benutzt seine rechte Hand, um die Reichweite zu finden und setzt dann seine mächtige linke frei, entweder gerade oder schleifend, und er wird es oft verdoppeln und verdreifachen, um Körper und Kopf. Verwendet schnelle Kopfverschiebungen, um Schläge zu verschieben, während Sie sich vorwärts bewegen. Hat sich unter der Anleitung von Freddie Roach gut entwickelt, einen anständigen rechten Haken entwickeln, entweder als Bleischlag oder nach links geworfen. Verwendet schnelle Kopfverschiebungen, um Schläge zu verschieben, während Sie sich vorwärts bewegen. Ist nicht mehr der gefürchtete Finisher, den er einmal früher in seiner Karriere war.

 

STÄRKEN

Mayweather:

* Erfahrung - Boxen liegt Mayweather im Blut, und er ist seit seiner Kindheit im Sport tätig. Beendete eine umfangreiche Amateurkarriere mit dem Gewinn der Bronzemedaille bei den Olympischen Spielen 1996. Er hat in der Vergangenheit erfolgreich auf Meisterschaftsebene teilgenommen 17 Jahre, Kämpfer mit einer Vielzahl von Stilen konfrontieren und besiegen.

 

* Konditionierung - Mayweather ist ein Fitnessfreak mit einer erstaunlichen Arbeitsmoral beim Training. Nur wenige Kämpfer drängen sich so sehr wie Mayweather im Fitnessstudio, sogar Mitternachtstrainings machen. Es ist im Ring offensichtlich, wenn seine Ausdauer ihn in den späten Runden trägt.

 

* Ring Generalship - Mayweather kennt jeden Zentimeter des Rings und weiß, wie man einen Kampf kontrolliert. Er weiß, wann er angreifen muss, wann zu boxen, wann die Hitze aufdrehen, und wann man ausrollt. Mayweather besitzt den Ring, wenn er dort ist. Sogar die seltenen Zeiten, in denen er in Kämpfen betäubt wurde, Er konnte sich schnell beruhigen und die Bedrohung unterdrücken.

 

 

Pacquiao:

* Unorthodoxer Stil - Pacquiao ist sehr unorthodox, sogar für eine Südpfote. Er bewegt sich geradewegs hinein, ist aber mit seinen Wackel- und Kopfschwächen schwer zu messen. Bevor die meisten Gegner seine Anstürme zeitlich festlegen können, Er wirft Wirbelstürme aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln.

 

* Geschwindigkeit - Pacquiao ist eine Flotte von Füßen und der Besitzer sehr schneller Hände, besonders für einen Boxer mit solch beträchtlicher Kraft. Er bewegt sich schnell in Position und feuert schnelle Doppelkombinationen ab. Er hat sein Arsenal um blendende Hakenkombinationen erweitert, Aufwärtshaken, und doppelte oder dreifache linke Hände.

 

* Ausdauer - Pacquiao ist immer in hervorragender Form und kämpft in der letzten Runde genauso hart wie in der ersten. Er übt eine Menge Druck aus und schlägt ständig, Gegner dabei zermürben.

 

SCHWÄCHEN

Mayweather:

* Altern - Mayweather hat möglicherweise eine makellose Bilanz, Aber die Vaterzeit wurde nie besiegt. Mayweather war in den letzten Kämpfen platter. Seine erste Begegnung mit Marcos Maidana war eine schwierige Angelegenheit, in der Mayweather sehr gewöhnlich aussah. Der Rückkampf war definitiver, aber nicht beeindruckend.

 

* Ablenkungen - Maweather liebt es, in der Öffentlichkeit zu stehen und scheut keine Kontroversen. Am bemerkenswertesten sind seine öffentlichen Streitigkeiten und Versöhnungen mit seinem Vater und Trainer, Floyd Mayweather, Senior. Die jüngsten Lagerturbulenzen ereigneten sich in Form eines Trainingslagerstreits zwischen Floyd Sr.. und Alex Ariza, Arbeit als Kraft- und Konditionstrainer. Ein nicht harmonisches Trainingslager kann zu unnötigen Ablenkungen führen.

 

* Schlagkraft - Die meisten Stopps von Mayweather waren auf eine Ansammlung von Schlägen zurückzuführen. Das übliche Ergebnis ist, dass der Schiedsrichter oder die gegnerische Ecke den Kampf stoppt, um eine weitere Bestrafung zu verhindern. Trotz seines kontroversen und explosiven Knockouts gegen Victor Ortiz, Es ist selten, dass Mayweather einen Kampf mit einem Schlag beendet, aus seiner Zeit als 130-Pfünder.

 

 

Pacquiao:

* Killerinstinkt - Pacquiao galt einst als rücksichtslose Kreissäge, Gegner durchschneiden, bis sie unterlegen sind. Er hat seitdem diese Kante verloren, seitdem keinen Kampf durch Unterbrechung gewinnen 2009. Noch besorgniserregender ist, dass er sich mehrmals gegen überlegene Gegner durchgesetzt hat, so dass sie die letzten Runden überleben können.

 

* Probleme mit Counterpunchern - Pacquiao ist aggressiv, Offensivkämpfer, der frei Schläge werfen wird, Aber er kann zeitlich festgelegt werden und ist oft offen, um mit Zählern getroffen zu werden. Juan Manuel Marquez gab ihm Passungen mit Bewegung und Gegenschlägen, Er erzielte sogar einen spektakulären Knockout gegen Pacquiao mit einer perfekt abgestimmten rechten Hand.

 

* Alter - Pacquiao ist nicht mehr das Phänomen, das er in seinen 20ern war. Er ist jetzt Mitte 30. Da ist er körperlich gealtert, Er hat auch einen übermenschlichen Zeitplan mit politischen Bestrebungen in seinem Heimatland aufgenommen, zahlreiche persönliche Auftritte, und einige schwierige Kämpfe.

 

 

Letzten Kampf

Mayweather:

(09-13-14) Mayweather neutralisierte und überholte Marcos Maidana in einem Rückkampf von ihrem unerwartet engen Kampf vor vier Monaten. Während die Aktion spärlich war, Es war ein Fall, in dem Mayweather seine überlegenen Fähigkeiten und seine Intelligenz einsetzte, um seinen aggressiven, aber begrenzten Gegner zu vereiteln.

 

Pacquiao:

(11-20-14) Pacquiao gewann eine dominierende einstimmige Entscheidung über das Spiel, aber Chris Algieri war unerfahren. Pacquiao hatte von Anfang an die Kontrolle und erzielte insgesamt sechs Niederlagen, Irgendwie gelang es einigen Experten nicht, das Knockout zu erzielen. Einige Experten meinten, er müsse in Position sein, damit der Mayweather-Kampf stattfinden könne.

 

DREI BESTE LEISTUNGEN

 

Mayweather:

* Diego Corrales (1/20/01) - Experten waren hin und her gerissen, wen sie in diesem Fall auswählen sollten, und viele neigten sich zu Corrales, um durch KO zu gewinnen. Mayweather ließ ihn nie in den Kampf, Er wurde fünf Mal niedergeschlagen, bevor der Schiedsrichter den Kampf in der 10. Runde stoppte.

 

* Arturo Gatti (6/25/05) - Obwohl Mayweather ein solider Wettfavorit war, Viele erwarteten, dass Gatti es Mayweather schwer machen würde. Es ist nie passiert, als Mayweather Gatti in der ersten Runde auf den Boden drückte und heftig schlug, bevor Gattis Ecke den Kampf nach sechs einseitigen Runden stoppte.

 

* Ricky Hatton (12/8/07) - Hatton war ungeschlagen, als er in den Kampf kam und einen Spielplan mit konstantem Druck aufstellte, um Mayweather zu zermürben. Nach ein paar unangenehmen Runden, Mayweather konnte seine Reichweite finden und übernehmen, Boden zweimal Hatton in der 10. Runde und erzwingen eine Unterbrechung.

 

Pacquiao:

* Oscar de la Hoya (12/06/08) - Es ist jetzt schwer vorstellbar, Aber der damalige Konsens war, dass De la Hoya den kleineren Pacquiao bei einem Erdrutsch zerstören würde. Es war ein Erdrutsch, aber es war Pacquiao, der die Prügel austeilte, De la Hoya mit beiden Händen auseinander reißen. Nach acht einseitigen und brutalen Runden, Ein geschwollener und blutiger De la Hoya wurde in den Ruhestand versetzt.

* Miguel Cotto (11/14/09) - Pacquiao zerlegte den größeren und körperlich imposanten Cotto eindrucksvoll. Pacquiao ließ den puertoricanischen Superstar zweimal früh fallen. Ab der 6. Runde, Pacquiao hatte Cotto in einer Verteidigungshülle, ihn zu schlagen, bis der Schiedsrichter den Kampf in der 12. Runde stoppte.

* Ricky Hatton (05/02/09) - Pacquio lief schnell und zerstörerisch durch Hatton. Hatton–während noch ein Außenseiter–Es wurde erwartet, dass er mit seiner Stärke und seiner Taktik eine Herausforderung darstellt. Pacquiao enthüllte einen verbesserten rechten Haken und ließ Hatton in der ersten Runde zweimal fallen, bevor er ihn in der zweiten Runde mit einem verheerenden Knockout zerschmetterte.

Schlüssel zum Sieg

 

Mayweather:

* Holen Sie sich Pacquiaos Respekt frühzeitig, Timing seiner Binsen, and hitting him with straight right hands.

 

* Use clinches to smother Pacquiao and thwart any offensive momentum.

 

* Do not try to trade punches with Pacquiao.

 

 

 

Pacquiao:

* Use feints to get Mayweather to make the first move.

 

* Don’t aim strictly at Mayweather’s head. Focus on the body, Waffen, and torso?

 

* Do not let Mayweather control the tempo.

 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 

* Can the fight live up to the hype? Unless this turns out to be Hagler-Hearns, Gatti-Ward, and Ali-Frazier all rolled up into one, it will be nearly impossible to live up to the hype that has surrounded this match-up for over six years. The hype might be inflated and overbearing, but it can still be entertaining.

 

* Is the fight happening too late? Both fighters are in their late 30s. While these two phenoms are still elite competitors, they are past their primes. Even so, instances of fighters past their primes matching up perfectly and turning in an epic encounter have occurred on several occasions.

 

* Who has the most to lose? Mayweather without a doubt has the most to lose. Pacquiao is an icon in his home country, so no matter what happens, he will remain a beloved figure. Mayweather is boasting about himself as “The Best Ever” and relishes his undefeated record. He even said recently that he’s better than Muhammad Ali was. A loss obliterates the “0” on Mayweather’s record and will provide more fodder for the argument that he is not even the best of his generation.

 

* How will their styles match up? It figures to be a classic boxer vs puncher match-up. Mayweather is a consummate strategist. He is a master of figuring out his opponents, frustrating them, and setting up counter punches. Pacquiao will press the action, try to overwhelm, breaking through Mayweather’s defense with a high volume of punches. It will be a clash of Quantity against Quality. Pacquiao will throw more punches, more punches than anybody has ever thrown against Mayweather. Mayweather will throw less but land at a higher connect rate, with sharp counter punches.

 

* What are the chances of a Knockout? Pacquiao is known as the better puncher, but he has failed to score a stoppage victory since battering Miguel Cotto in 2009. Mayweather has scored only one stoppage victory since 2007 against the weak-chinned Victor Ortiz. The two most likely scenarios for a knockout win would either be Pacquiao becoming reckless and leaving himself open to Mayweather’s straight right hand or Mayweather suddenly becoming an old fighter and wilting under Pacquiao’s relentless pressure. Likely, this fight will go to the scorecards.

 

 

* Will the officials factor into the conclusion? Kenny Bayless has been assigned as the referee and is regarded as one of the best in boxing. He has worked as the referee in six previous Pacquiao fights and four previous Mayweather bouts. The only backlash he received from those ten total bouts was the Mayweather-Maidana rematch where he was criticized for breaking up the inside clinches too quickly, seemingly favoring Mayweather against the mauling style of Maidana. With Mayweather naturally bigger than Pacquiao, breaking up clinches quickly (especially if Pacquiao has any momentum) would serve more as a disadvantage to Mayweather. The judges are Burt Clements, Dave Moretti, both veteran officials in Las Vegas, and Glenn Feldman, based out of Connecticut. Moretti has worked nine Mayweather bouts and six Pacquiao bouts. Clements has worked three Mayweather bouts and one Pacquiao bout. Feldman has only worked one Mayweather bout early in his career.

 

* What happens next? If the fight turns out to be entertaining, in der Nähe, or controversial, a rematch is possible depending on the outcome.

If Mayweather wins, er ist 48-0 and can walk away from Pacquiao and seek a different challenge for his final fight. He could even seek a possible move up to grab a title at middleweight and another superfight with the next big sensation Gennady Golovkin.

If Pacquiao wins, a rematch is almost a given, especially with so much money on the table.

A draw would also most likely force a rematch for the final fight of Mayweather’s career sometime in September.

 

PENECALE VORHERSAGE

The anticipation as the fighters make their way to the ring will be electric. The growing crescendo of excitement will continue through the introductions with Mayweather sporting a confident smirk and Pacquaio fixated with an icy glare.

 

The waiting will be over when the bell rings and both fighters come out to the center of the ring. Mayweather will be moving to his left, rolling his hands and probing with a soft jab. Pacquiao will be like a coiled spring, bouncing back and forth and feinting with his jab. Pacquiao will throw a few wild left hands that Mayweather backs away from, his back hitting the ropes as he slides away to his right. The round will end without anything conclusive landing for either fighter, making it difficult to score.

 

Pacquiao will look to increase the pace in the second round and outwork Mayweather. While Mayweather is the center of the ring, he will dictate the pace and the action, keeping Pacquiao limited to throwing one punch at a time. When Pacquiao is able to cut the ring off and back Mayweather to the ropes, he will unleash combinations. The flurries for the most part won’t land, but the work rate will stir the crowd into a frenzy.

 

Pacquaio will continue the high volume of punches through the 3rd und 4th rounds until Mayweather lands a right hand while their feet are tangled, causing Pacquiao to sprawl to the canvas. He will protest while Bayless administers the count, but he will not be hurt. Mayweather will smile and move in, throwing a few right hands, truly seeing if Pacquiao is stunned. Pacquiao will respond with his own vicious left hand, bringing the crowd to their feet as the bell rings.

 

Mayweather will again box cautiously starting the 5th Runde, staying on the outside and pivoting away when Pacquiao gets close. The fight will resemble a cat and mouse affair with Pacquiao trying to corner Mayweather and Mayweather trying to bait him into making a mistake. Pacquiao will be the aggressor, throwing far more punches. Mayweather will be timing him with single counter punches throughout the 6th und 7th Runde.

 

A sharp left hand by Pacquiao in the 8th round will startle Mayweather and cause blood to leak from his nose. Pacquiao will try to press the advantage and unleash another torrent of punches. Mayweather will pull away against the ropes, and Pacquiao will focus his attention to the body with a combination of punches to the chest and shoulder, forcing Mayweather to clinch and break the momentum.

 

Mayweather will get up on his toes in the 9th Runde, using lateral movement to keep Pacquiao from setting his feet and unleashing more than one punch at a time. Pacquiao will step in with a few lefts that are blocked, but Mayweather’s movement will keep him from throwing any follow-up punches. As Mayweather slips out, he will land his own counter punches, making it another difficult round to score.

 

Während der gesamten 10th und 11th Runde, Mayweather will execute a plan to counter Pacquiao with single punches and avoid most of his counter flurries. Pacquiao will step in with a hard left to the body, forcing a Mayweather clinch. When the action resumes, Pacquiao will look to attack the body again, only to be met with a straight right hand over the top.

 

The final round in a very close bout will see Mayweather neutralizing Pacquiao’s rushes, landing single counter punches and pivoting away from danger, sharpshooting from the outside. Pacquiao will desperately try to corner Mayweather but he won’t allow it, moving on the outside and clinching in close, bringing an anticlimactic ending as the final bell rings.

 

It will take several minutes for the scorecards to be tabulated, with the consensus believing Mayweather won 7 Runde, including a knockdown. Pacquaio will pray in his corner while Mayweather smiles and laughs with his entourage.

 

The decision will be as follows. Glen Feldman will score the bout 114-113 for Pacquaio. Burt Clements will score 115-112 for Mayweather. Dave Moretti will score the bout a very curious 115-112 for the winner of the biggest superfight of the century…. MANNY “PACMAN” PACQUIAO!!!!

 

With the decision announced, a disgusted Mayweather will demand a rematch before storming out of the ring, setting up another lucrative event in September and a possible trilogy.

We are delighted that Miguel Cotto has chosen Barclays Center and Brooklyn to continue his storied career in New York City,” sagte Brett Yormark, Barclays Center CEO. “Cotto’s Puerto Rican heritage combined with Australia’s own Daniel Geale is going to create a tremendous global audience for this Juni 6 Kampf. This announcement further cements Barclays Center as the leading boxing venue in this country.

 

Last June, Miguel Cotto became a middleweight champion, joining a select handful of elite fighters to have won major titles in four weight classes or more, and becoming the first Puerto Rican champion to do so ,” sagte Peter Nelson, vice president, programming, HBO Sports. “For Cotto’s first title defense, he faces former two-time world champion Daniel Geale at Barclays Center, the iconic Brooklyn landmark whose mystique elevates every event fortunate enough to call it home. As Cotto continues the next phase of his historic career, we are thrilled to present this middleweight championship fight live on HBO.
