Cad Mayweather, Mayweather Promotions POF Leonard Ellerbe, WBC Super Middleweight Domhanda Champion, Badou Jack agus Ardú Céime Mayweather’ Ishe Smith dúirt Dé Céadaoin:
Floyd Mayweather
“Is féidir le Berto troid. Tá sé ina curadh dhá-am. Tá sé ocras. Tagann sé chun pá le cogadh. Ní bhíonn nóiméad dull nuair troideanna sé mar sin mé ag súil le ifreann de troid as dó. Beidh muid go léir a fheiceáil conas a imríonn sé amach.
“Mo troid seo caite, gach guys tú a chur [Manny] Pacquiao ar pedestal agus táim an méid a tharla. Chuaigh mé i ann agus rinne cad is gá dom a dhéanamh, a bhfuil bua.
“An troid, is cuma cé hé an comhraic, Bheadh ​​duine éigin rud éigin criticiúil nó diúltach a rá. Riamh Tá roinnt daoine sásta. Ach tá mé sásta.
“Gach 48 de mo troideanna a bheith crua. None bheith éasca. Gach Bhí eochair mór. Tá sé an 'Ré Mayweather.’ Is dóigh liom go bhfuil gach Trodaire ar ealaíontóir agus glacfaidh siad go léir pictiúir a mbealach féin. Tá mé díreach ar cheann de na healaíontóirí is fearr.
“Tá mé ag bheannaigh go fírinneach. Tá mé tógtha mo chuid ama, choinnigh mo shúil ar an duais agus rinneadh an méid a Tá mé go raibh le déanamh. Mar sin, tá mé in ann a rogha a dhéanamh nuair a scor. Ní fhéadfadh an chuid is mó trodaithe i ndáiríre.
“Dornálaíocht curtha i gcónaí le hobair dom, post. Má raibh mé a rá rud ar bith a ógfhear ag dul i mbun dornálaíocht go mbeadh sé go “a bheith cliste agus ní ghlacfaidh a lán de na punches. Sé ar a dtugtar an eolaíocht milis ar chúis. Buail agus gan a bheith buailte, dhéanamh ar a lán airgid gan a lán de phionós. Sin an méid tá sé faoi.
“Fhios ag aon duine cad atá i ndán, ach anois, I’m cool and comfortable and having no second thoughts at all about retirement. Bhí mé slí bheatha maith, Bhuaigh mé gach teideal domhan, ach tá dornálaíochta caitheamh agus cuimilt ar an gcomhlacht. Tá sé am a chrochadh 'em suas. Tá mé ag tnúth le bheith ag obair le roinnt páistí suas-agus-teacht, ag dul ar siúlóidí, agus laethanta saoire a ghlacadh.”
Leonard Ellerbe
“Gach duine ag rá ná go bhfuil Berto 3-3 ina sé troideanna seo caite ach bhí Pacquiao 3-3 ina sé troideanna seo caite, freisin. Cotto chaill dhá cheann de a cúig troideanna seo caite. Ach tá siad ag an dá i gceannas ar an Halla na Laochra.
“Tá a fhios againn go Berto ag teacht chun troid, go bhfuil sé ag teacht a bhuachan agus turraing an domhain. Níl aon bhealach a thógann Floyd air héadrom. Tá sé ag obair díreach chomh crua le haghaidh an troid mar a rinne sé an mbliain roimhe sin 48.
“Is Floyd mo chara, tá muid teaghlach, ach Molaim agus molaim dó chun déanamh cad atá déanta aige, cad sé ag gcrích, cé chomh rathúil a bhfuil sé, cé chomh rathúil atá sé curtha as 1996 go dtí anois.
“Tá sé fíor-iontach. Chun a bheith in ann siúl amach ar a chuid téarmaí féin, a leanúint a phlean cluiche féin, Is unbelievable. Ag 38, sé ar fuair boatload airgid sa bhanc, go léir a dámha agus rinne sé é ar a bhealach. Is é seo an Aisling Mheiriceá.
“D'fhéadfadh Floyd troid chomh fada agus is mian sé, dá mba cad a bhí sé a dhéanamh. Ní Daoine a thuiscint cad a théann isteach ina cheird. Traenacha sé ar fud an clog. Tá sé ag a tugadh a shaol a ghairm bheatha. Tá sé réidh chun turas amach ar aghaidh go dtí an chéad chéim eile dá shaol. Sé a thuill an ceart sin.
“Rinne muid gealltanas agus táimid ag tar éis a chonradh. Chomh maith le, cé mhéad atá go leor? Cé mhéad is féidir le duine a iarraidh ar dhuine de? Cé mhéad níos mó is féidir leis a dhéanamh?’
“Beidh sé seo troid seo caite Floyd ar. Tá mé an-tógtha dó. Tá sé ag déanamh sé ar a bhealach. Sé Bhí slí bheatha illustrious agus tá a fhios agam tá sé an-compordach leis an méid atá sé in ann a chur i gcrích.”
Badou Jack
“Go hionraic, I mo thuairimse, d'fhéadfadh sé seo troid steal an seó agus beidh an troid ar an oíche. Beidh sé seo a bheith an-, an-siamsúil.
“Is Groves cinnte maith, Trodaire diana, Tá sé a lán de luas, a lán de chroí. Meas agam air. . Throid sé Carl Froch faoi dhó. Ach níl mé Froch agus ná troid cosúil le Froch. Ní mór dúinn stíleanna éagsúla.
“Is é seo mo chéad chosaint agus tá mé an-excited faoi, ach tá mé a choinneáil i gcónaí ar mentality underdog, agus nach mbeidh a athrú. Tá mé ag iarraidh fanacht humble. Tá mé fós an Guy céanna ach trí bheith ina curadh domhanda tá sé dhéanamh ach amháin dom ag obair níos deacra.
“Tá mé ag foghlaim go fóill, ag obair go dian. Tá a fhios agam nach féidir liom breathnú anuas duine ar bith. Tá a lán de na troideanna i ndáiríre mór féideartha sa todhchaí – agus ba mhaith liom dul i ngleic leis an chuid is fearr is cuma má tá sé GGG, Andre Ward, whoever.
“Ach ceart anois tá mo díriú ach amháin ar an bplean cluiche agus b'fheidir go. Tá mé ag súil go mór troid [George] Groves agus bhuaigh ar Meán Fómhair. 12.”
Ishe Smith
“Níl mé ag dul a dhéanamh ar aon tuar. Tá mé ag dul díreach chun dul amach agus a dhéanamh cad a dhéanfaidh mé agus go bhfuil a thabhairt 100 faoin gcéad.
“Beidh mé ag rá seo, cé, más cuí leis tá sé ag dul chun an t-dom amach, cosúil sé ag rá, sé ag dul a bheith ina troid an-siamsúil.
“Bhuaigh mé teideal domhan mar B-taobh, ach is dóigh liom tá mé an A-taobh sa troid. Tá mé throid an chuid is fearr sa roinn ar feadh blianta agus blianta, Tá mé sparred leis an chuid is fearr.
“Is Martirosyan gaige maith agus tá teaghlach deas, ach ní raibh sé le guys mhaith go bhfuil mé. Guys go bhfuil níos fearr agus bhuail a lán níos deacra ná mar a dó. Riamh tá mé síos. Riamh mé tógtha ocht-count. Tá mé 34 bliain d'aois agus riamh ghortú agus deir sé tá sé ag dul a stopadh dom. Sin díreach dÚsachtach.
“Tá mé ag gealltóireachta ar mo smig, go bhfuil do cinnte. Ní fhéadfadh sé an t-amach [Jermell] Charlo ina troid seo caite. Rinne sé gach cineál na excuses do chailliúint. An chúis chaill sé go raibh mar gheall ar chaill sé a Trodaire ar níos fearr.
“Más mian sé chun dul chun an KO, fíneáil; más rud é go raibh a fócas. Maidir liom, Níl mé ag smaoineamh ko. Tá mé ag smaoineamh a rinne siad.”

147-POUND WEIGHT CLASS TAKES CENTER STAGE AGAIN ON SATURDAY, BEALTAINE 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 (Aibreán 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, i ndáiríre, might not even be valid when viewed from a comprehensive perspective dating back to the late 19ú century. I Dornálaíocht, 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, arBealtaine 2 ag MGM Grand i Las Vegas, live on pay-per-view, welterweight curadh Floyd “Airgead” 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.

 

An “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, agus, although no one knew it then, thus was a legend born.

 

Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur before turning pro at 19 i 1940. De réir 1951, he was 128-1-2 le 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, cumhacht punching, 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. I 2013, a dúirt sé, “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 Oileán na Tríonóide, 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, rá, Leonard-Duran I, which Duran won on a rousing unanimous decision on June 25, 1980, i Montreal? The epic Leonard-Hearns I, ar Meán Fómhair. 16, 1981, which saw Leonard, trailing on the scorecards, rally for a dramatic, 14ú-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.

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is a 12-round welterweight world championship unification bout promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank Inc., and is sponsored by Tecate.

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

 

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.

 

“Maidir liom, 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 Manuel Márquez juan. His defense is primarily his shoulder roll. A lot of his defense is geared against a right handed fighter. Leis sin ráite, 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 Bealtaine 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.”
