Què Mayweather, Promocions CEO Mayweather Leonard Ellerbe, CMB pes súper campió mundial de pes mitjà, Badou Jack i Mayweather Promotions’ Ishe Smith va dir el dimecres:
Floyd Mayweather
“Berto pot lluitar. Ell és un dues vegades campió. Té fam. Es tracta d'una guerra. Mai hi ha un moment avorrit quan baralla, així que espero una gran baralla d'ell. A tots ens veurem com es resol.
“La meva última baralla, tots vostès poseu [Manny] Pacquiao en un pedestal i mira el que va passar. Hi vaig anar i vaig fer el que havia de fer, que és la victòria.
“Aquesta lluita, no importa qui és l'oponent, algú hauria alguna cosa crític o negatiu a dir. Algunes persones mai estan satisfets. Però estic satisfet.
“Tots 48 de les meves baralles han estat durs. Cap ha estat fàcil. Tots van jugar un to major. És la 'Mayweather Era.’ Sento que cada combatent és un artista i tots ells faig fotos a la seva manera. Jo només sóc un dels millors artistes.
“Sincerament, he estat beneït. M'he pres el meu temps, mantingut el meu ull en el premi i he fet el que he hagut de fer. Així que sóc capaç de fer una elecció quan retirar-. La majoria dels combatents realment no podia.
“La boxa sempre ha estat una feina per a mi, un treball. Si jo pogués dir alguna cosa a un jove prenent la boxa seria “ser intel·ligent i no prendre molts cops. Es diu la ciència dolça per una raó. Hit i no ser colpejat, fer un munt de diners sense ser molt càstig. Això és el que es tracta.
“Ningú sap el que espera en el futur, però en aquest moment, I’m cool and comfortable and having no second thoughts at all about retirement. Vaig tenir una bona carrera, Vaig guanyar cada títol mundial, però la boxa és el desgast en el cos. És hora de passar el 'em up. Tinc moltes ganes de treballar amb alguns nens de fins-and-coming, anar de passeig, i prendre vacances.”
Leonard Ellerbe
“Totes les persones estan dient és que Berto és 3-3 en les seves últimes sis baralles, però Pacquiao va ser 3-3 en les seves últimes sis baralles, massa. Cotto ha perdut dos dels seus últimes cinc baralles. Però els dos estan dirigir al Saló de la Fama.
“Sabem Berto ve per lluitar, que ve de guanyar i sorprendre al món. No hi ha manera de Floyd li pren a la lleugera. Ell està treballant tan dur per aquesta baralla com ho va fer l'anterior 48.
“Floyd és el meu amic, som família, però jo felicito i li aplaudeixo per fer el que ha fet, el que ha aconseguit, el reeixit que és, el reeixit que ha estat des 1996 per ara.
“És veritablement notable. Per ser capaç d'allunyar en els seus propis termes, per seguir el seu propi pla de joc, és increïble. En 38, ell té un pot ple de diners al banc, totes les seves facultats i ho va fer a la seva manera. Aquest és el somni americà.
“Floyd podria lluitar tot el temps que vulgui, si això fos el que volia fer. La gent no entén el que passa en el seu ofici. Ell entrena durant tot el dia. Ell ha donat la seva vida a la seva carrera. Ell està llest per cavalcar a la següent fase de la seva vida. S'ha guanyat aquest dret.
“Vam fer un compromís i estem seguint el seu contracte. A més de, Quant és suficient? Quant es pot demanar d'algú? Quant més pot ell fer?’
“Aquesta serà l'última baralla de Floyd. Estic molt emocionat per ell. Ho ha fet a la seva manera. Ha tingut una il·lustre carrera i sé que és molt còmode amb el que ha estat capaç d'aconseguir.”
Badou Jack
“Honestament, Crec que aquesta baralla podria robar el xou i serà la baralla de la nit. Això serà molt, molt entretingut.
“Groves és definitivament una bona, lluitador dur, Ell té molta velocitat, molt de cor. El respecte. . Va lluitar Carl Froch dues vegades. Però no estic Froch i no lluito com Froch. Tenim diferents estils.
“Aquesta és la meva primera defensa, i estic molt emocionada per això, però sempre he mantingut una mentalitat de perdedor, i això mai canviarà. Estic tractant de mantenir humil. Segueixo sent la mateixa persona, però al convertir-se en un campió del món només m'ha fet treballar encara més dur.
“Encara estic aprenent, treballant dur. Sé que no puc mirar més enllà de qualsevol persona. Hi ha una gran quantitat de potencials molt grans baralles en el futur – i vull lluitar amb els millors, no importa si es tracta d'GGG, Andre Ward, qui.
“Però en aquest moment el meu únic focus està en el pla de joc i executar. Tinc moltes ganes de combats [George] Groves i guanyadora al setembre. 12.”
Ishe Smith
“Jo no faré cap predicció. Només vaig a sortir i fer el que faig i això és donar 100 per cent.
“Vaig a dir això, encara que, si creu que em va noquejar, com si estigués dient:, que serà una baralla molt entretinguda.
“He guanyat un títol mundial com un costat B, però sento que sóc la cara A en aquesta lluita. He lluitat contra els millors de la divisió per anys i anys, He discutit amb el millor.
“Martirosyan és un bon tipus i té una bonica família, però no ha estat amb nois que tinc. Nois que estan millor i colpegen molt més difícil del que. Mai he estat a sota. Mai he pres un compte de vuit. Estic 34 anys d'edat i no han fan mal i diu que em va a detenir. Això és una bogeria.
“Estic apostant a la barbeta, això és segur. No podia noquejar [Jermell] Xerro en la seva última baralla. Va fer tot tipus d'excuses per perdre. La raó per la qual va perdre va ser perquè va perdre a un millor lluitador.
“Si ell vol anar a pel KO, multa; si aquest és el seu enfocament. Per a mi, No estic pensant en KO. Només estic pensant a guanyar.”

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

Leave a comment

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
In Another Classic Showdown

In The Welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (Abril 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, de fet, might not even be valid when viewed from a comprehensive perspective dating back to the late 19º century. En Boxa, 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, aMaig 2 al MGM Grand de Las Vegas, live on pay-per-view, campió de pes welter Floyd “Diners” Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs) takes on fellow titlist Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(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.

 

La “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, i, although no one knew it then, thus was a legend born.

 

Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur before turning pro at 19 a 1940. Per 1951, he was 128-1-2 amb 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, Eddie Futch, was moved to observe that, “He had everything. Boxing skills, enganxada, 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,” Muhammad Ali, 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. En 2013, ell va dir, “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.”

 

Pacquiao, 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 Durán, Thomas Hearns, Oscar De La Hoya, Félix Trinitat, Juli Cèsar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen Basilio, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Jose Nàpols, Curtis Cokes, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Nen” 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, dir, Leonard-Duran I, which Duran won on a rousing unanimous decision on June 25, 1980, a Mont-real? The epic Leonard-Hearns I, al setembre. 16, 1981, which saw Leonard, trailing on the scorecards, rally for a dramatic, 14º-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.

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 Maig 2 welterweight world championship unification battle against undefeatedFLOYD “Diners” MAYWEATHER JR. (47-0, 26 KOs), al MGM Grand Garden Arena a 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® and SHOWTIME PPV® a partir de les 9:00 p.m. I/ 6:00 p.m. PT.

 

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

 

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.

 

“Per a mi, 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. Dit això, 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.

 

“I’m looking forward to Maig 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.”
