Beth Mayweather, Mayweather Promotions Prif Swyddog Gweithredol Leonard Ellerbe, CLlC Super Pencampwr y Byd Canol, Badou Jack a Mayweather Hyrwyddiadau’ Ishe Smith Dywedodd Dydd Mercher:
Floyd Mayweather
“Gall Berto ymladd. Mae e'n bencampwr dwy-amser. Mae'n llwglyd. Mae'n dod i cyflog rhyfel. Nid oes byth eiliad ddiflas pan fydd yn ymladd, felly rwy'n disgwyl uffern o ymladd allan ohono. Byddwn i gyd yn gweld sut y mae'n ei chwarae allan.
“Fy frwydr olaf, pawb 'ch guys roi [Manny] Pacquiao ar bedestal ac edrych beth ddigwyddodd. Es i mewn 'na ac yn gwneud yr hyn yr wyf yn ei angen i wneud, sydd yn ennill.
“Mae'r frwydr, ni waeth pwy yw'r gwrthwynebydd, Byddai rhywun yn rhywbeth hanfodol neu'n negyddol i'w ddweud. Nid oedd rhai pobl yn fodlon. Ond dw i'n fodlon.
“Mae pob 48 fy ymladd wedi bod yn anodd. Dim wedi bod yn hawdd. Chwaraeodd pob un allwedd mawr. Mae'n y 'Era Mayweather.’ Rwy'n teimlo fod pob Diffoddwr yn artist ac maent i gyd yn tynnu lluniau eu ffordd eu hunain. Im 'jyst yn un o'r artistiaid gorau.
“Rwyf wedi bod yn bendithio gwirioneddol. Rwyf wedi cymryd fy amser, cadw fy llygaid ar y wobr a gwneud yr hyn rydw i wedi gorfod ei wneud. Felly, fy mod yn gallu gwneud dewis pryd i ymddeol. 'N sylweddol na allai rhan fwyaf o ddiffoddwyr.
“Bocsio wastad wedi bod yn gweithio i mi, swydd. Pe gallwn i ddweud unrhyw beth i fachgen ifanc sy'n cymryd i fyny bocsio fyddai hi i “fod yn smart ac nid cymryd llawer o punches. Mae'n cael ei alw y wyddoniaeth melys am reswm. Hit a pheidio eu taro, gwneud llawer o arian heb gymryd llawer o gosb. Dyna beth mae'n ymwneud.
“Does neb yn gwybod beth yw'r dyfodol, ond ar hyn o bryd, I’m cool and comfortable and having no second thoughts at all about retirement. Roedd gen i yrfa dda, Enillais pob teitl y byd, ond bocsio yn gwisgo a gwisgo ar y corff. Mae'n amser i hongian 'em i fyny. Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at weithio gyda rhai plant i fyny-a-dod, mynd ar deithiau cerdded, a chymryd gwyliau.”
Leonard Ellerbe
“Mae'r holl bobl yn ei ddweud yw bod Berto yw 3-3 yn ei chwe ymladd diwethaf ond nid oedd Pacquiao 3-3 yn ei chwe ymladd diwethaf, hefyd. Cotto wedi colli dau o'i bum ymladd diwethaf. Ond maen nhw'n ddau o dan y pennawd i'r Neuadd yr Enwogion.
“Rydym yn gwybod Berto yn dod i ymladd, ei fod yn dod i ennill a sioc y byd. Does dim ffordd Floyd yn mynd ag ef yn ysgafn. Mae'n gweithio yr un mor galed ar gyfer y frwydr hon fel y gwnaeth yr blaenorol 48.
“Floyd yw fy ffrind, rydym yn teulu, ond yr wyf yn cymeradwyo'r ac yn cymeradwyo iddo am wneud yr hyn y mae'n ei wneud, yr hyn y mae'n ei gyflawni, pa mor llwyddiannus ei fod yn, pa mor llwyddiannus mae e wedi bod o 1996 yn hyn.
“Mae'n wirioneddol ryfeddol. Er mwyn gallu i gerdded i ffwrdd ar ei delerau ei hun, i ddilyn ei gynllun gêm eu hunain, yn anhygoel. Ar 38, mae ganddo boatload o arian yn y banc, ei holl gyfadrannau ac fe wnaeth hynny ei ffordd. Mae hyn yn y Freuddwyd Americanaidd.
“Gallai Floyd ymladd cyhyd ag y mae am, os oedd yr hyn yr oedd am ei wneud. Nid yw pobl yn deall beth sy'n mynd i mewn ei grefft. Mae'n hyfforddi o amgylch y cloc. Mae wedi rhoi ei fywyd i ei yrfa. Mae'n barod i deithio i ffwrdd ymlaen i'r cam nesaf o'i fywyd. Mae wedi ennill yr hawl honno.
“Gwnaethom ymrwymiad ac rydym yn dilyn ei gontract. Ar wahân i, faint yn ddigon? Faint gall un ofyn am rywun? Faint yn fwy gall wneud?’
“Bydd hyn yn frwydr olaf Floyd. Rwy'n teimlo'n gyffrous iawn iddo. Mae wedi gwneud hynny ei ffordd. Mae o wedi cael gyrfa ddisglair ac rwy'n gwybod ei fod yn gyfforddus iawn gyda'r hyn mae e wedi bod yn gallu ei gyflawni.”
Badou Jack
“Onest, Rwy'n credu y gallai y frwydr hon dwyn y sioe a bydd yn y frwydr yn y nos. Bydd hyn yn iawn, ddifyr iawn.
“Groves yn bendant yn dda, ymladdwr anodd, Mae ganddo lawer o gyflymder, llawer o galon. Wyf yn ei barchu'n. . Ymladdodd Carl Froch ddwywaith. Ond dydw i ddim Froch ac nid ydynt yn ymladd fel Froch. Mae gennym wahanol arddulliau.
“Mae hyn yn fy amddiffynfa gyntaf ac rwy'n gyffrous iawn am y peth, ond rwyf bob amser wedi cynnal meddylfryd underdog, a fydd yn byth yn newid. Im 'yn ceisio i aros yn ostyngedig. Rwy'n dal i fod yr un fath guy ond trwy ddod yn bencampwr y byd, dim ond wedi gwneud i mi weithio hyd yn oed yn fwy anodd.
“Dw i'n dal i ddysgu, gweithio'n galed. Yr wyf yn gwybod na allaf edrych heibio unrhyw un. Mae llawer o ymladd mawr iawn posibl yn y dyfodol – ac yr wyf am i frwydro yn erbyn y gorau ni waeth os yw'n GGG, Ward Andre, pwy bynnag.
“Ond ar hyn o bryd mae fy unig ffocws ar y cynllun gêm a gweithredu ei. Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at ymladd [George] Groves ac ennill ar Medi. 12.”
Ishe Smith
“Dydw i ddim yn mynd i wneud unrhyw rhagfynegiadau. Im 'jyst yn mynd i fynd allan a gwneud yr hyn yr wyf yn ei wneud a dyna rhoi 100 y cant.
“Byddaf yn dweud hyn, er bod, os yw ei fod yn credu ei fod yn mynd i guro fi allan, fel ei fod yn dweud, mae'n mynd i fod yn frwydr yn ddifyr iawn.
“Enillais deitl byd fel bob ochr B, ond yr wyf yn teimlo mai fi yw'r ochr A yn y frwydr hon. Rydw i wedi ymladd y gorau yn yr is-adran ar gyfer y blynyddoedd a blynyddoedd, Rwyf wedi sparred gyda'r gorau.
“Martirosyan yn dude da ac mae ganddo deulu 'n glws, ond nid yw wedi bod mewn gyda guys fel gen i. Guys sy'n well ac yn taro llawer anoddach nag ef. Dwi erioed wedi bod i lawr. Dydw i erioed wedi cymryd wyth-gyfrif. Rwy'n 34 mlwydd oed ac erioed wedi brifo ac mae'n dweud ei fod yn gonna fy rhwystro. Dyna crazy.
“Rwy'n betio ar fy ên, mae hynny'n sicr. Ni allai guro allan [Jermell] Charlo yn ei frwydr olaf. Gwnaeth pob math o esgusodion am golli. Y rheswm collodd oedd am iddo golli i yn ymladdwr gwell.
“Os yw am i fynd am y KO, dirwy; os dyna ei ffocws. I mi, Dydw i ddim yn meddwl KO. Im 'jyst yn meddwl buddugol.”

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

Gadael sylw

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
In Another Classic Showdown

In The Welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (Ebrill 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, mewn gwirionedd, might not even be valid when viewed from a comprehensive perspective dating back to the late 19fed century. Yn Bocsio, 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, arMai 2 yn MGM Grand yn Las Vegas, live on pay-per-view, pencampwr pwysau welter Floyd “Arian” 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.

 

Y “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, ac, although no one knew it then, thus was a legend born.

 

Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur before turning pro at 19 mewn 1940. Drwy 1951, he was 128-1-2 gyda 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, pŵer dyrnu, 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. Yn 2013, dywedodd, “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 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 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, dweud, Leonard-Duran I, which Duran won on a rousing unanimous decision on June 25, 1980, ym Montreal? The epic Leonard-Hearns I, ar Medi. 16, 1981, which saw Leonard, trailing on the scorecards, rally for a dramatic, 14fed-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.

“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.

 

“I 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. Gyda hynny ddywedodd, 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 Mai 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.”
