Philadelphia (April 20, 2015)— Lokhu esidlule Saturday ebusuku, boxing fans witnessed a classic bout that saw Lucas Matthysse eek out a close majority decision over Ruslan Provodnikov phakathi ku 12 round -junior welterweight clash in front of a sold out crowd at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, I-New York.
The iziqubu, which was televised by HBO Boxing After Dark, has already jumped to the head of the list for 2015 Fight of the Year.
Much of the post fight talk has centered around the courage of Provodnikov, as he fought eleven of the twelve rounds with a severely cut left eye that was due to an accidental headbutt. With blood streaming down the left side of his face, and his eye closing, Provodnikov fought heroically to come back and hurt Matthysse several times during the bout, and in round eleven he landed a left hook that nearly sent Matthysse to the canvas.
Many at ringside, including The Bleacher Report, HBO’s Harold Lederman, Steve Kim of UCNlive.com, & Dan Rafael of ESPN.com, scored the bout even at 114-114.
“I could not be any more proud of Ruslan, said Banner Promotions Promotions Artie Pelullo.
“Saturday night showed that he is the toughest and most compelling fighter in boxing. NgoMgqibelo fight also solidified that Ruslan is the most television friendly fighter in the sport hands down, and there will be many more big fights for Ruslan in the near future.”

147-POUND WEIGHT CLASS TAKES CENTER STAGE AGAIN ON SATURDAY, MAY 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, empeleni, might not even be valid when viewed from a comprehensive perspective dating back to the late 19th century. In 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, onMay 2 at MGM Omkhulu Las Vegas, live on pay-per-view, welterweight iqhawe Floyd “Imali” 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.

 

The “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, futhi, although no one knew it then, thus was a legend born.

 

Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur before turning pro at 19 in 1940. By 1951, he was 128-1-2 kanye 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, amandla isibhakela, 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. In 2013, uthe, “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, uthi, Leonard-Duran I, which Duran won on a rousing unanimous decision on June 25, 1980, in Montreal? The epic Leonard-Hearns I, on Sept. 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.

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Shiya amazwana

By: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Imali” Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 Kos) and Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos) are set to clash on May 2nd, 2015 in one of the most hyped fights in boxing history. This fight is so huge they are even planning to sell tickets to the weigh-in due to crowd control issues. The proceeds will not be going to the promoters or the boxers, noma. It all goes to charity. Still, this is a first for the state of Nevada, which traditionally requires that all weigh-ins be free of charge for fans to attend.

Izinga lokulindela elizungeze le mpi libe nesikhathi eside lokwakha. Ngokwengxenye engcono yeminyaka eyishumi edlule, lawa majuggernaut amabili ompondo-we-pondo awakwazanga ukwenza le mpi yenzeke ngesizathu esisodwa esingenangqondo ngemuva kwesinye. Njengomuntu ngubani uqobo wahambela okunye kokusebenza komphakathi kukaMayweather eVegas, Ngingakufakazela ukuthi umpetha we-welterweight onganqotshwa kaninginingi ucaphune ukwenqaba kukaPacquiao ukwenziwa isitayela sokuhlolwa kwegazi ngesitayela se-Olimpiki lapho ebuzwa ngemizamo eyenziwe yokuthi le mpi isayinwe eminyakeni emihlanu edlule.

UMayweather uze waqhamuka nomculo omncane we-rap ukuzwakalisa lolu daba ngamagama alula:

“Uma ufuna ukulwa nokuhamba phambili, kufanele uvivinye,” ukhishwe ngesikhathi sokuhlala kokunye kokuzivocavoca okuvulekile.

UPacquiao ushintshe isimo sakhe esivivinyweni futhi wanqoba isithiyo esikhulu kunazo zonke lapho ehlangana mathupha noMayweather futhi wavuma ukuthi uzoba “B” side ngakho-ke kufanele ithole ukuhlukaniswa okuncane kwesikhwama. Njengoba ividiyo engenhla ichaza, UMayweather wabe esekwazi ukuphatha inqubo yezingxoxo.

Yize ochwepheshe besasho ukuthi le mpi izoba enkulu kunayo yonke emlandweni wezemidlalo, umbuzo kufanele ubuzwe uma lokhu kubhanqwa kwenzeka sekwephuze kakhulu emisebenzini yabo bobabili abalweli ukuze ijabulise njengoba abanye ochwepheshe babikezela ukuthi kuzoba.

Kwakuhlale kungicacela ukuthi le mpi izokwenzeka, kepha kwacaca ukuthi kuthatha isikhathi eside ukusayina izinkontileka, amathuba angcono okuwina kukaFloyd. Still, UFloyd wavuma 2012 ukuthi isizathu sangempela wayengafuni ukulwa noPacquiao sasingenxa yokukhathazeka kwezempilo. Ukuphikile ukuthi wethukile, ezibiza “uhlakaniphile” ngokucabanga ngomndeni wakhe nangempilo yakhe kuqala. Still, waphikelela ekutheni isizathu esiyinhloko sokuthi impilo yakhe ibe sengcupheni kuleyo mpi ukuthi uPacquiao wayenza ngempela ama-steroids, njengoba uMayweather asho njalo wagcina ngokumangalelwa. Laba bobabili bahlala ngaphandle kwenkantolo futhi impi isiyasondela, ngakho-ke abanye abalandeli bacabanga ukuthi konke kungamanzi ngaphansi kwebhuloho. Abanye bacasulwa ngokusobala ukuthi bekufanele silinde isikhathi eside ukuze le mpi ize iphumelele.

Umlingisi wesibhakela uMarvin Hagler uze waphawula muva nje ukuthi uMayweather walinda uPacquiao esemdala kancane ngaphambi kokusayina ukuze alwe naye. UHagler uqhathanise amaqhinga kaMayweather noSugar Ray Leonard alinde uHagler abe mncane “ithambile” yena ngaphambi kokuba basayine inkontileka yabo yokulwa. Leyo mpi yaba nempikiswano enkulu futhi yashiya uHagler emunyu kakhulu ngalo mdlalo owamenza waduma.

Ngakho, impi kaMay-Pac izokwenzeka, kanti uMayweather uyintandokazi esobala. Ukuze ufunde kabanzi ngohlangothi lokugembula lwale ndaba, hlola Ukubheja isibhakela endaweni yaseWilliam Hill. Inzuzo enkulu kunoma yimuphi umbheja onenhlanhla kuzoba ukubheja okuphumelelayo ePacquiao, kodwa kulula ukuzibuza ukuthi ngabe uPacquiao ngempela usemdala kakhulu ukuthi anganqoba kulokhu. Ngemva kwakho konke, kukhona amathani wokukhathazeka ngemisipha yenkonyane kaManny ebamba phezulu, futhi kubikwa ukuthi usebenzisa ukhilimu ophulukisayo obiza izinkulungwane zamaRandi ngebhodlela ngalinye ukuxazulula le nkinga.

Mayweather (38) is actually the older fighter, but the 36-year-old Manny’s fought 17 more bouts in the pro ranks and will likely be the most active puncher “Imali” ever faced. Mayweather’s normally spectacular and overwhelming defensive prowess just might be tested.

This fight may not be worth every penny you spend on tickets or the Pay-Per-View feed, but the fact that it is finally happening is still special. It will still be a fight boxing fans everywhere around the world can enjoy and appreciate. It’s ultimately up to the fighters to prove they are both up to the task of making sure this fight lives up to expectations. Chances are, Floyd will do his best to leave the MGM Grand with an uneventful decision win. Let’s just hope Pacquiao has enough left in the tank to make sure this is the most competitive fight Mayweather’s ever been in. It may not be the most opportune time for this fight to happen, but it’s a lot better to get it late than never.

I hope this fight will give me opportunities and I’ll take the best.”
