What Mayweather, Mayweather Promozzjonijiet CEO Leonard Ellerbe, WBC Super Middleweight Champion tad-Dinja, Badou Jack u l-Promozzjonijiet Mayweather’ Ishe Smith qal l-Erbgħa:
Floyd Mayweather
“Berto jista ġlieda. Hu champion żewġ time. Hu bil-ġuħ. Huwa jgħaddi biex pagi gwerra. Hemm qatt mument matt meta hu tissielet so I jistennew enfer ta 'ġlieda barra minnu. Aħna kollha Ser naraw kif jilgħab barra.
“Ġlieda aħħar My, kollha inti guys tpoġġi [Manny] Pacquiao fuq pedestall u jfittxu dak li ġara. I marru fil hemm u ma dak I meħtieġa biex jagħmlu, li huwa win.
“Din il-ġlieda, ebda kwistjoni li l-opponent, xi ħadd ikollu xi ħaġa kritika jew negattiv li jgħidu. Xi nies huma qatt sodisfatti. Imma jien sodisfatt.
“Kollha 48 ta 'ġlied tiegħi kien iebes. Xejn ikun faċli. Kollha kellhom ċavetta prinċipali. Hu l-"Era Mayweather.’ Inħoss li kull ġlied huwa artist u dawn kollha jieħdu ritratti mod tagħhom. Jien biss wieħed mill-ħafna aħjar artisti.
“Stajt verament ġiet mbierka. Stajt meħuda ħin tiegħi, miżmuma għajnejk tiegħi fuq il-premju u jsir dak li stajt kellha tagħmel. Hekk jien kapaċi jagħmlu għażla meta jirtiraw. Ħafna ġellieda verament ma setgħux.
“Boxing dejjem kien xogħol għalija, xogħol. Jekk I jista 'jgħid xejn għal youngster bidu boxing ikun li “tkun intelliġenti u mhux jieħdu ħafna puntelli. Huwa sejjaħ l-xjenza ħelu għal raġuni. Hit u mhux jintlaqtu, jagħmlu ħafna ta 'flus mingħajr ma tieħu ħafna ta' piena. Dak hu li huwa madwar.
“Ħadd ma jaf x'inhi l-futur istivi, iżda issa dritt, I’m cool and comfortable and having no second thoughts at all about retirement. I kellu karriera tajba, I rebaħ kull titolu dinja, iżda boxing huwa xedd u kedd fuq il-ġisem. Wasal iż-żmien li hang "em up. Jien ħerqana biex taħdem ma 'xi gidjien up-u-li ġejjin, għaddej mixjiet, u tieħu ferjat.”
Leonard Ellerbe
“In-nies kollha qed jgħidu huwa li Berto hija 3-3 fl-aħħar sitt tissielet tiegħu, iżda Pacquiao kien 3-3 fl-aħħar sitt tissielet tiegħu, wisq. Cotto tilef tnejn mill-aħħar ħames tissielet tiegħu. Iżda dawn qed kemm intitolat għall-Sala tal-Eroj.
“Nafu Berto huwa li ġejjin għall-ġlieda kontra, li huwa li ġejjin biex jirbħu u xokk-dinja. M'hemm l-ebda mod Floyd jieħu lilu ħafif. Li jkun qiegħed jaħdem biss bħala hard għal din il-ġlieda kif kien jagħmel qabel l- 48.
“Floyd huwa ħabib tiegħi, aħna qed familja, imma I ifaħħru u infaħħar lilu biex isir dak li qed isir, dak li qed jitwettqu, kif suċċess huwa, kif suċċess hu kien minn 1996 li issa.
“Huwa verament eċċezzjonali. Biex ikunu jistgħu walk away fuq termini tiegħu stess, biex isegwu pjan ta 'logħba tiegħu stess, huwa unbelievable. Fil 38, hu ltqajna boatload ta 'flus fil-bank, fakultajiet kollha tiegħu u hu ma kien mod tiegħu. Dan huwa l-American Dream.
“Floyd tkun tista 'tiġġieled sakemm hu jixtieq, jekk dan kien dak li ried jagħmel. In-nies ma jifhmux x'inhu għaddej fil-dgħajjes tiegħu. Huwa ferroviji madwar l-arloġġ. Hu taw ħajja tiegħu għall-karriera tiegħu. Hu lest sabiex isuqu off fuq il-fażi li jmiss tal-ħajja tiegħu. Hu qala dak id-dritt.
“Aħna għamel impenn u aħna huma li ġejjin kuntratt tiegħu. Minbarra, kemm huwa biżżejjed? Kemm jista 'wieħed jistaqsi ta' xi ħadd? Kemm aktar jista 'hu tagħmel?’
“Dan se jkun l-aħħar ġlieda Floyd. Jien eċċitati ħafna għalih. Hu jsir dan triqtu. Hu kellu karriera illustri u naf hu ħafna komda ma 'dak li hu kien kapaċi iwettaq.”
Badou Jack
“Onestament, Naħseb din il-ġlieda tista steal l-ispettaklu u se tkun il-ġlieda tal-lejl. Dan se jkun ħafna, ferm divertenti.
“Groves żgur huwa tajjeb, ġellied iebsa, Huwa għandu ħafna ta 'veloċità, ħafna ta 'qalb. I-rigward lilu. . Huwa miġġielda Carl Froch darbtejn. Imma jien ma Froch u ma ġlieda bħal Froch. Aħna stili differenti.
“Dan huwa l-ewwel difiża tiegħi u jien eċċitati ħafna dwar dan, imma jien dejjem żamm mentalità underdog, u li qatt mhu se bidla. Jien jippruvaw li tissospendi umli. Jien xorta l-istess Guy iżda billi ssir champion dinja li tkun biss għamel miegħi jaħdmu saħansitra aktar diffiċli.
“Jien għadhom qed jitgħallmu, xogħol iebes. I know I ma tistax tfittex passat ħadd. Hemm ħafna ta 'ġlied verament kbir potenzjali fil-futur – u nixtieq li jiġġieldu l-aħjar ebda kwistjoni jekk huwa GGG, Andre Ward, min.
“Imma issa dritt biss fokus tiegħi hija fuq il-pjan logħba u eżekuzzjoni. Ninsab verament bil-ħerqa li ġlied [George] Groves u rebbieħ fuq Settembru. 12.”
Ishe Smith
“Jien ma jmur biex jagħmlu kwalunkwe previżjonijiet. Jien biss se joħorġu u jagħmlu dak I do u li jagħtu 100 mija.
“I se ngħid dan, għalkemm, jekk jidhirlu huwa se knock me out, simili hu kien qal, li għaddej biex tkun ġlieda ferm divertenti.
“I rebaħ titlu dinja bħala ġenb B, imma inħoss jien il-ġenb A f'din il-ġlieda. Stajt ġġieldu l-aħjar fid-diviżjoni għal snin u snin, Stajt sparred bl-aħjar.
“Martirosyan huwa raġel tajjeb u għandu familja sabiħ, imma hu ma kienx ma guys bħal I jkollhom. Guys li huma aħjar u hit ħafna aktar diffiċli milli lilu. Stajt qatt ma ġew stabbiliti. Stajt qatt ħadet tmien għadd. Jien 34 sena u qatt ma ġiet iweġġgħu u jgħid hu gonna stop me. Li jinsab biss crazy.
“Jien imħatri fuq Chin tiegħi, li għall-żgur. Ma setax knock out [Jermell] Charlo fil-ġlieda tiegħu aħħar. Huwa għamel kull tip ta 'skużi għall jitilfu. Ir-raġuni tilef kien minħabba li tilef lil qlubija aħjar.
“Jekk jixtieq li jmorru għall-KO, multa; jekk dan huwa jiffoka tiegħu. Għalija, Jien ma jaħsbu KO. Jien biss ħsieb rebbieħa.”

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

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
In Another Classic Showdown

In The Welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (April 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, fil-fatt, might not even be valid when viewed from a comprehensive perspective dating back to the late 19th century. Fl Boxing, 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, fuqMejju 2 fi MGM Grand fil Las Vegas, live on pay-per-view, champion welterweight Floyd “Flus” 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.

 

Il “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, u, although no one knew it then, thus was a legend born.

 

Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur before turning pro at 19 fil 1940. Billi 1951, he was 128-1-2 ma 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, qawwa ippanċjar, 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. Fl 2013, huwa qal, “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, jgħidu, Leonard-Duran I, which Duran won on a rousing unanimous decision on June 25, 1980, f'Montreal? The epic Leonard-Hearns I, fuq Settembru. 16, 1981, which saw Leonard, trailing on the scorecards, rally for a dramatic, 14th-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 Mejju 2 welterweight world championship unification battle against undefeatedFLOYD “Flus” MAYWEATHER JR. (47-0, 26 Kos), fil-MGM Grand Garden Arena fil Las Vegas.

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

 

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.

 

“Għalija, 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. Ma 'dak imsemmi, 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 Mejju 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.”
