Qari, PA (Diċembru 14, 2015) -Dan passat IS-SIBT night at the AT & T Center in San Anonio, Heavyweight Travis Kauffman (30-2, 22 Tal-KO) and former two-time world title challenger Chris Arreola engaged in a action packed bout that saw Arreola get a dubious split decision by scores 114-113 twice for Arreola and 114-113 for Kauffman.
Most accounts of the fight had Kauffman getting the decision, which included PBC ringside scorer Steve Farhood.
Kauffman ta 'Reading, PA. pushed the action and landed the more telling blows, which included a knockdown in round three from a jab-right hand combination. The fight validated Kauffman as a player in the division, but he wasn’t satisfied with just a good performance.
“I jħossuhom tajjeb. I thought I did enough to win the fight. I had it 8-4 jew 7-5 in my favor plus the knockdown,” said Kauffman after viewing the fight.
“I dominated from rounds three to nine. I took off ten and eleven as I thought that I was secure with my lead. I dominated the twelfth round and after a three-punch combination, Chris went falling back and it looked like his glove touched the canvas. Ma jimpurtax liema, I thought I won the twelfth round. I backed him up the entire fight. I dominated him at his own game.”
Kauffman believes that he won over the crowd and those in attendance thought that he deserved the nod as well.
“The crowd booed me as I came into the ring and cheered me when I left. I won them over and I won over the boxing public.”
With the performance, Kauffman should be in line for another significant fight in the first quarter of 2016.
“I spoke to my manager, Al Haymon and he said that bigger things are going to happen for me. Weather it is a rematch or someone else, Jiena lest għal dak. I showed that I am a force in the division. I worked for so long for this fight, so I am just going to take a week off and enjoy my kids and I will be right back in the gym. I am looking to be back sometime between February and April.”
“I appreciate all the fans. The ones that have been with me before the fight one the ones that became fans nhar is-Sibt.”
Said Kauffman’s father Marshall Kauffman, “I am very proud of Travis and what he did in the fight Just look at each of them and you could tell who took the beating in the fight. The worst case scenario, the fight it was 6-6 but Travis scored the knockdown that should have gave him the fight. I believe he will get another opportunity. He showed what he is capable of doing.”

I got into a good rhythm early and kept my foot on the pedal. I had him hurt early but he was a very tough opponent and pushed me to the later rounds. By coach Bob Santos told me to start throwing more uppercuts and that’s when I landed that big shot in the sixth round. I followed the right uppercut with a left hook and got him out of there.”

Hawnhekk huwa dak li l-ġellieda kellhom jgħidu l-Erbgħa:
Omar FIGUEROA
“Kamp ta 'taħriġ kien fenomenali. I ma naħsibx li setgħet marret xi aħjar. Meta wieħed iqis kollox I kont qed permezz din is-sena, huwa tali nifs ta 'arja friska biex ikunu jistgħu attwalment ferrovija u bil-ferroviji biex sħiħ tiegħi.
“I think jien definittivament jkollna aħjar. Aħna qatt ma tieqaf titjib u jekk nagħmlu, li meta karrieri tagħna jispiċċaw. Aħna dejjem jippruvaw biex jitgħallmu u ara dak li nistgħu nagħmlu aħjar u fejn nistgħu progress. Huwa vjaġġ li aħna mhux qed anke fin-nofs permezz.
“I do not think I kellha l-aħjar rendiment kontra Ricky Burns Mejju. Meta wieħed iqis Kelli idejn miksur permezz camp, I ma jista 'verament ferrovija fil-kamp. I taħbit champion dinja qabel u I ma kien mingħajr taħriġ kemm nixtieq.
“Lili, ġlieda hija ġlieda. I igawdu nar. I imħabba li fiċ-ċirku. Jien eċċitati għaliha. I ma jistgħux jistennew. I biss tixtieq li twettaq u tara kif inħoss.
“Naħseb Antonio DeMarco huwa perfettament għall-istil tiegħi. Hu verament iebsa iżda huwa għandu difetti. Jitlaq il-korp miftuħ u li xi ħaġa I think we jistgħu jisfruttaw. Jekk kollox imur biex jippjanaw, aħna ser toħroġ rebbieħa.”
ANTONIO Demarco
“Jien ġejjin lura għall-imħabba ta 'l-isport. Irrid li juru kulħadd li kiteb me off, li jien xorta hawn u perikolużi. Huma qed tmur biex jieklu kliem tagħhom Il-Ħadd filgħodu.
“I qabel kienet irtirat minħabba raġunijiet personali, iżda boxing huwa tali parti kbira mill-ħajja tiegħi. Hija ressqet me out tal-toroq u minħabba familja tiegħi ħajja tajba. Stajt kienu kapaċi jgħinu sister tiegħi li kkuntrastat kanċer iżda issa huwa b'saħħtu. I ma tista 'tħalli l-isport li għen tant nies.
“Jien lura ma trainer qadima tieghi, li għen lili jilħqu l-aqwa mumenti tal-karriera tiegħi. Romulo Quirarte u I qed naħdmu ħafna biex jiksbu lura għal dak il-livell.
“Għandi ħafna ta 'rispett għad Omar. Hu undefeated u hu jsir xi affarijiet verament tajba f'dan l-isport. Huwa ġlieda iebsa, imma hija ġlieda iebsa għal tnejn us. Huwa mhux se tkun faċli għall Omar.
“Irrid-fannijiet biex tara ġlieda kbira. Huwa ser tkun gwerra. Żewġ Messikani, bid-demm Messikani huwa dejjem ġlieda kbira. Stajt mħarrġa għal gwerra u jien ser juru lil kulħadd li jien lest meta I pass lejn dak ring.”
DOMINIC BREAZEALE
“Kamp ta 'taħriġ marru kbir. Kellna tajba disa jew 10 ġimgħat ta 'kamp ma' grupp differenti ta 'imsieħba sparring. I attwalment niżel dwar 10 liri so I jħossu tajjeb u b'saħħtu.
“Huwa enormi biex jintemm l-sena fuq NBC fl-AT&T Center. I ma tista 'titlob għal aktar.
“Ħerqana biex jiġġieldu għall ċinturini. Linja up. Irrid li jiġġieldu top 10, top 5 guys konsistenti. Ejja tikseb dan isir.
“Stajt maħduma verament diffiċli fuq il-korrezzjoni difetti u t-titjib fil-snajja tiegħi. Bħala ġellied inti dan huwa dak li trid tagħmel. I dejjem jistaqsi li għandu jiġi ttestjat u dan huwa dak li jien bil-ħerqa li.”
Chris Arreola
“I know I jkollhom test iebsa quddiem lili. Avversarju tiegħi għandha ħafna esperjenza dilettanti u hu kien pro tajba. I għandek tagħmel dan għadd wieħed. Inti qatt ma tkun taf meta huwa se tkun l-aħħar ċans tiegħek.
“Fittixt ħażina fil aħħar żewġ tiegħi tissielet u int biss tajbin daqs l-aħħar ġlieda tiegħek. I think avversarju tiegħi jara lili bħala ġellied fi triqtu isfel u li n-nirien me up. Hu għaddej biex tixtieqx hu qatt ġġieldu me.
“Stajt dejjem ħsibt nnifsi bħala ġellied elite. Tħassib ewlieni tiegħi huwa Travis Kauffman. Għandi li tħabbat lilu b'mod konvinċenti. I bżonn li tħabbat lilu sal-punt fejn kulħadd jixtieq lili biex jiġġieldu għal titlu. I tixtieq li jaqilgħu sparatura titolu tiegħi.
“Dan huwa l-bidu għal run titolu. Irrid biex siment lili nnifsi bħala heavyweight aqwa fid-dinja. I'ma heavyweight li għandhom jiġu ffaċċati u jien ser jipprova li għal kulħadd. I bżonn il-ġlieda għall-karriera tiegħi.”
VICTOR ORTIZ
“I kellna ups tiegħi u downs tiegħi, imma I biss jixtiequ hemmhekk u tilqa 'l-fannijiet mill-ġdid. I do not think fannijiet qatt kienu ddiżappuntati fl-azzjoni kemm hemm meta I ġlieda.
“Prime My għadu hawn. Jien ser tieħu vantaġġ sħiħ minnu. Il-xena Hollywood huwa jibred, ma iweġġgħu ħażin, imma nippreferi li tkun champion dinja. Irrid li terġa 'lura għal dak il-livell.
“I kont qed timbotta myself l-kamp kollu. Jien biss hawn biex jitqiegħdu fil-ħidma. Aħna lesti li jmorru jitqiegħdu fuq juru. Naf avversarju tiegħi jkun ser jiġi ġuħ u Jien lest.
“Stajt għamel tibdil kbir għall-karriera tiegħi u naħseb li ser tkun għall-aħjar. Nispera li kulħadd melodiji fil. Jien lest li tmur għall-gwerra.”
MARIO Barrios
“Irfinar up-sena bi ġlieda bħal din fil Hometown tiegħi, huwa l-aqwa ħaġa I jista 'jitlob għar. Jien eċċitati li jkun lura d-dar ġlied fil quddiem tal-familja u ħbieb.
“Stajt tjieb bħala ġellied din is-sena. Stajt tgħallmu ħafna dwar kif se tinżamm composure fiċ-ċirku. Dawn huma affarijiet li stajt kienu kapaċi jiksbu esperjenza. Irrid li jibqgħu attivi u jkomplu jkollna aħjar.
“Kamp ta 'taħriġ kien kbir. Morna biex Houston għal ġimgħa ta 'taħriġ tagħna li jaħdmu ma' Miguel Flores u daħal lura ġimgħa li għaddiet biex jispiċċaw fil San Antonio. Inħoss qawwija u lesta li jitpoġġew fuq juru kbira IS-SIBT.
BRANDON FIGUEROA
“Inħoss verament tajba. Tim tiegħi u I ġew tagħmel drittijiet affarijiet u jien lest li jiksbu fil-ċirku Diċembru 12.
“Ewwel ġlieda tiegħi kien ukoll fuq juru kbir ma headlining brother tiegħi. Jien ma tgħid jien użati biex dan. Imma jien ma verament persuna emozzjonali so I mhux se tikseb fazed mill-istadju.

FLOYD Mayweather

“Hu [Manny Pacquiao] is a hell of a fighter. I take my hat off to him. Now I see why he’s one of the guys that are at the pinnacle of the sport of boxing.

 

“I knew he was going to push it and win some rounds. He had some moments in the fight, but I kept him on the outside, I was a smart fighter. I wasn’t getting hit with a lot of shots until I sat in the pocket, that’s when he would land a lot of shots.

 

“Għamilna dak li aħna kellha tagħmel tonight and I’m truly blessed.

 

“I’m a calculated fighter, he’s a tough competitor.

 

“I have to take it off to my dad, without him I wouldn’t be where I’m at.

 

“He’s a very awkward fighter, so I had to take my time and watch him close.

 

“Kollha 47 fights before I got to this fight played a major key in my career.

 

“Manny Pacquiao is a true champion and we both did our best tonight.

 

“When the history books are written, this fight will have been worth the wait.

 

“I have one more fight. My last fight is in September and then it’s time for me to hang it up. I’m almost 40 years old now. I’ve been in the sport 19 years and have been a champion for 18 snin, I’m truly truly blessed.”

 

 

MANNY PACQUIAO

“Kienet ġlieda tajba; I thought I won the fight.

 

“He didn’t do anything. He was always moving outside.

 

“I got him many times, I saw his punches.

 

“He was moving around too much, it wasn’t easy throwing punches at him. If he would’ve stayed in one place then I could’ve thrown punches.

 

“I was cutting him and countering. I wanted to fight.

 

“I was able to handle his power; he’s not strong like previous opponents like [Anthony] Margarito.

 

“I thought I was up in the fight, so that’s why I didn’t attack harder in the 11th u 12th rawnds.

 

“He’s not bigger than me, it’s not about the size. The size doesn’t matter. I’ve fought guys bigger than him and had no problem.”

“I prepared very hard for this fight, like I always do. It’s going to be a historic night and I’m happy to be a part of that history.

 

“I know that everybody is here for Mayweather and Pacquiao but there will still be millions seeing me fight and I want to show them who Leo Santa Cruz is so that I can get a lot more fans.

 

“”I’m still young and there are many more fights to come. The fights the fans want, we’re going to give it to them. I know those fights are going to happen.

 

“I want to look spectacular and I want to get Cayetano out of there really fast. Sometimes these kind of fighters are the ones who give you the hardest fights because they come hungrier and have nothing to lose.

 

“Seeing my family here and having them in the arena on fight night is a huge motivation for me. I feel happier and more relaxed and I’m ready.

 

“I never underestimate a fighter. Any fighter in the ring is dangerous. I hope that Cayetano is ready so that we can give the fans a great show.”

 

JOSE CAYETANO
“I know that Leo Santa Cruz is a strong, difficult fighter but he also has weaknesses and that is what we prepared for, to give him a surprise.

“I’m a man that takes challenges and I’ve been preparing very hard, I’m always prepared for these types of fights. I’m very prepared and I feel very strongly that I will win.

“I came here for the opportunity to beat Leo Santa Cruz and for the opportunity to participate in such a grand event that is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.

“I’m very happy and very grateful and very excited to get into the ring. It’s a huge commitment, the entire world will be watching me but that is why I accepted the fight, I know that if I beat him, bigger and better opportunities will come my way.

“I’m not nervous because it’s not the first time that I’ve faced a tough opponent. I’ve never faced a world champion but I’ve faced opponents that throw hard punches, so I’m not nervous, I’m excited.”

 

VASYL LOMACHENKO

“This is an opportunity to show everyone what I’m capable of doing and for millions of viewers to see that I can do it.

 

“The best fighters get the best opportunities in the ring, there are a lot of great fighters getting those opportunities including myself.

 

“It’s always a good feeling when people are saying good things about you.

 

“I’m very excited to be involved in a bout such as this one, Mejju 2 will be a big show shown around the world. I’m very happy to be in the opening bout for this huge fight.”

 

GAMALIER RODRIGUEZ
“I’m looking forward to this big fight nhar is-Sibt. It’s a blessing to participate in this type of press conference and come IS-SIBT, I se jirbaħ! I’m sure of it. I will be champion.

“All of the attention toward Vasyl Lomachenko gives me motivation. I’ve been a fighter and a boxer since I was young and it’s added motivation to come out on top this weekend.

 

“I know that Lomachenko is a good and technical fighter but it doesn’t compare to my hunger and drive to be world champion.

“I wanted to take the opportunity during my speech at the press conference to let everyone know that I can here to fight. It’s going to be a hard fought battle and I’m very confident that I’ll win and become the champion this Saturday.”

 

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO ta Promozzjonijiet Mayweather

“I am so excited to be here today to discuss the great undercard which will be the lead-in to our long awaited, history making event taking place this Saturday night.

 

“The lead-in fight for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao will be a very exciting fight featuring Leo Santa Cruz and Jose Cayetano.

 

“Leo Santa Cruz is one of the classiest gentleman in the sport. He’s a very fan-friendly fighter and a Mexican warrior. He represents Mexico very well.”

 

BOB ARUM, Sala tal-Eroj Promotur, Top Rank

“I know that every fighter deems it a tremendous honor to be part of this great event. We hope and believe that we will be presenting to the public through Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank, the best of boxing and the best fighters.

 

“Vasyl Lomachenko is considered to be the greatest amateur fighter of all time. Issa, he looks for the same type of success he had as an amateur in the professional ranks. But this will be a very competitive fight, because Gamalier Rodriguez is a Puerto Rican who comes to fight and believes that he can upset Vasyl.

 

“A lot of the young men up here believe they are the next big thing in boxing, and many will be. But I know that Vasyl Lomachenko will be a big superstar in the sport of boxing.”

LAS VEGAS (April 29, 2015) - Floyd "Flus" Mayweather u Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao faced off for only the third time L-Erbgħa during the final press conference for their long-awaited welterweight world championship unification fight this IS-SIBT, Mejju 2, fil-MGM Grand Garden Arena, live on pay-per-view.

 

The last time the boxing superstars met face-to-face was at the Los Angeles press conference to formally announce the mega-fight on Marzu 11. The first time they were photographed up close and personal came at a Miami Heat basketball game in January.

 

In the most eagerly awaited showdown in years – and the richest fight in boxing history — the undefeated and universally recognized No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos), an 11-time world champion in five weight divisions, will take on the fighting pride of the Philippines, Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos), the only boxer to capture world titles in eight weight classes.

 

Here is what the fighters and executives said L-Erbgħa at the KÀ Theatre at the MGM Grand:

FLOYD Mayweather

“The only thing I can do is take it one day at a time. When the fight gets here I will go out there and do what I do best and that’s go out and fight.

 

“From the beginning of my career, I’ve always had a game plan. It’s just like chess. We make calculated moves in the ring and outside the ring. I got with the right team and surrounded myself with the right chess pieces.

 

“I’m a lot wiser than I once was. This fight sells itself. Our ultimate goal was to get to this point, whether it was Manny or another fighter.

 

“I don’t take anything away from Manny Pacquiao. He’s a solid fighter; a solid competitor and it will be an intriguing matchup come Saturday.

 

“Everything takes time, it’s all about timing. I’m glad that we had patience and didn’t rush. The time is now, this is the right time for this fight.

 

“I want to thank all the writers for being here. Some have been around since I was 10-years-old, some have been here for my 19 years in this sport. I’m thankful for all the writers, whether the stories were good stories or bad, you guys kept me relevant for 19 snin.

 

“This fight is about one fighter who is at the top fighting another fighter who is at the top. It’s about giving you guys excitement. We don’t know how this fight is going to play out, but I believe in my skills. I believe I am going to be victorious.

 

“When I went to training camp I worked extremely hard to win this fight and I’m pretty sure Manny did the same. That’s why this is an intriguing matchup.”

MANNY PACQUIAO

“I don’t have a prediction, but I’m excited. I’m confident and I feel for the first time that I’m ready for the fight.

"I’m so happy because that feeling and that focus that I had many years ago, huwa lura. I’m confident and relaxed.

“My love and eagerness for this fight has made me especially interested.

“I would like to invite everyone to witness the great fight between Floyd and I this Saturday.

“I want to be an example and inspiration to people.

“Before I became a boxer, I used to sleep on the street. I can’t believe that I am in this position. The boy who didn’t have food and slept on the street can have this life.

“On Saturday our goal is to make the fans happy with our performance. Both of us will work very hard to entertain the fans and give a good fight.

“I hope that both Floyd and I do our best on Saturday and to put our name in boxing history.

“The most important thing I hope for is that after the fight I can talk with Floyd about being an inspiration to people all around the world.”

SR FLOYD Mayweather., Missier Mayweather tal & Trainer

 

“Whatever happens on Saturday, it’s going to be one-sided. Pacquiao is going to sleep.

 

“I’m a trainer, I know what’s going on with fighters. Pacquiao doesn’t have it.

 

“Everybody can say what they want to say. I’ve said it before, Pacquiao can’t punch. I’m not worried about it. I’m going to have Floyd walk him down.”

 

FREDDIE ROACH, Trainer Pacquiao tal-

“When this fight was announced, Manny’s training level went way up. He’s really excited about this fight.

 

“I think we will win a decision and outpoint this guy. If the knockout comes then that will be a bonus.

“I think Manny likes to be the underdog. We like pulling upsets and doing things we’re not supposed to do. Manny is going to be that guy.

“We will put a lot of pressure on Floyd. Manny likes to exchange and with his hand speed, this fight will go in our favor.

“Manny is reckless, but that’s his style. He tries to win fights and people enjoy his fights. He gives it his all and sometimes you get knocked out, that’s part of boxing.”

 

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO ta Promozzjonijiet Mayweather

 

“The worldwide attention and interest in this event has been unbelievable and Floyd and Manny deserve it.

 

“Las Vegas has a rich history of hosting the biggest and best fights in the sport. Over the years Floyd Mayweather has made the MGM his home. This will be his 11th consecutive fight at MGM Grand and the 14th in his career.

 

“There are two great fighters that will be fighting on Saturday night and the focus needs to be on the fighters, no one else. The focus is on the fighters on Saturday night.

 

“On May 2, Floyd faces another huge challenge in fellow world champion Manny Pacquiao, in a fight that the whole world is waiting to see. Once again Floyd is out to prove that he is The Best Ever and I know he will on Saturday night.”

 

BOB ARUM, Sala tal-Eroj Promotur, Top Rank

 

“This is a great promotion with two great fighters. I hope that this fight will help elevate the rest of boxing. I think based on the interest in this fight, there has been increased interest in boxing as well, and that’s great.

 

“People have spent a lot of time during this event watching Manny train, but more importantly, watching Freddie teach. It’s great to see two guys on the same wavelength, working on the strategy and then working it out in the ring.”

 

KEN HERSHMAN, President, HBO Sports

 

“The journey to this fight has been a remarkable one. In addition to the great writing and reporting that all the media has been doing, HBO has been putting on terrific programs for fight fans to enjoy and bring them closer to the sport.

 

“One important note for everyone, please order the pay-per-view Saturday night early, or if possible today or tomorrow. We expect that the ordering systems will be overwhelmed. Wkoll, there will be two undercard events starting at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and those events can end at any time. We want to make sure that no one misses any of the main event. Tune-in and tune-in early.”

 

STEPHEN Espinoza, Viċi-President Eżekuttiv u General Manager, Showtime Sports

 

“This event is about two world-class athletes, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, who have been working for weeks and weeks, all of their lives really, to get to this precise moment.

 

“These two fighters have worked their entire lives to get to this moment.

 

“Floyd and Manny have great teams. Floyd will be the first one to tell you that his team deserves a lot of the credit for his success and I’ve heard Manny say very similar things.

 

“What makes this event so special and so historic, is that we have two once-in-a-generation athletes who will be meeting in the ring in about 72 sigħat. We are so proud to have been given the opportunity to be a part of such a highly anticipated event.”

 

STORM RICHARD, President tal Entertainment & Sports għall Resorts MGM Internazzjonali

 

“It is an honor for the MGM Resorts to house this highly anticipated event. Sports fans around the world will have the unique opportunity to watch two of boxing’s top champions, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, as they go toe-to-toe at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

 

“Excitement for this event has resonated throughout our MGM Resorts properties and the entire Las Vegas community.

 

“We have created additional programming at the resorts including closed circuit viewing that gives fans the chance to experience MGM’s great championship fights.

 

“We just want to thank everybody involved in this great event. We’re excited, we’re proud and we can’t wait for Saturday night.”
