Uvidíme se všichni 6. června.”

Michael Yormark, Prezident & Vedoucí brandingu a strategie Roc Nation: „Dnešek je historickým dnem pro Roc Nation a naši boxerskou divizi. Muhammed Ali jednou řekl: „Kdo není dostatečně odvážný riskovat, nic v životě nedosáhne.“ V Roc Nation, rozhodli jsme se spustit naši boxerskou divizi v srpnu roku 2014. Věděli jsme, že riskujeme. Věděli jsme, že vstupujeme do sportu, který má dlouhou historii v hluboce zakořeněné kultuře. Chtělo to odvahu, ale upřímně řečeno, Roc Nation není nic, pokud ne odvážný...jsme odhodláni podporovat ty největší boje a největší bojovníky. Nyní jen o pár měsíců později, stojíme zde s jedním z nejlepších bojovníků na světě, oznamuje zápas mistrovství světa v nové mekce boxu, Barclays Center, a vysílají na standardním nosiči pro živé boxerské televizní vysílání, HBO.

Na Červen 6, Miguel Cotto bude obhajovat svůj šampionát WBC ve střední váze proti těžkému soupeři, Daniel Geale. Nepochybujte, bude to skvělý boj v Barclays Center a každý si tento boj užije, zejména Portorikánci. Miguel Cotto bude připraven, bude trénovat tak tvrdě jako vždy a bude připraven na výzvu, kterou Daniel Geale přináší.“

 

Gary Shaw, Gary Shaw Productions: „Když se podíváte na Danielův boj proti Sturmovi, když jsme jeli do Německa a zvedli pás a stali se mistry světa, to je Daniel Geale, kterého uvidíte Červen 6. Uvidíte velký souboj. Miguel Cotto je velký bojovník. Daniel to chápe a máme k němu velký respekt, ale na Červen 6na HBO v Barclays Center, bude to úplně nová noc.

Provodnikov puts on heroic effort in Matthysse bout; “Sibiřský Rocky” once again shows why he is boxing’s most exciting fighter

Philadelphie (Duben 20, 2015)— Letos Sobota noc, boxing fans witnessed a classic bout that saw Lucas Matthysse eek out a close majority decision over Ruslan Provodnikov v 12 round -junior welterweight clash in front of a sold out crowd at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
Záchvat, which was televised by HBO Boxing After Dark, has already jumped to the head of the list for 2015 Boj roku.
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.
“Sobota night showed that he is the toughest and most compelling fighter in boxing. Sobotní 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.”

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
V dalším klasickém zúčtování

V divizi Welterweight

LAS VEGAS (Duben 20, 2015) — Často se to říkalo “jak to v těžké váze chodí, tak jde box,” ale ne vždy tomu tak bylo a, vlastně, nemusí platit ani při pohledu z komplexní perspektivy, která se datuje do pozdní doby 19th století. V Box, Epos německého autora Bertrama Joba, 420-strana konferenční stolek disertační práce o všech aspektech sladké vědy, on to píše, “Elegance je značkou štíhlých a hbitých hvězd ve váhové kategorii do 147 liber, která přitahuje zasvěcené a obdivovatele krásy jako žádná jiná.”

 

A tak je to i s tím, co bude dalším benchmarkovým zápisem do bohaté historie divize, kdy, naKvěten 2 v MGM Grand v Las Vegas, žít na pay-per-view, welterweight mistr Floyd “Peníze” Mayweather (47-0, 26 KO) přebírá další titulky Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 KO) v dlouho očekávaném zúčtování sjednocení, které bude nejbohatším zápasem o ceny v historii tohoto sportu, a která přinesla srovnání s některými z předních zápasů ve váhové kategorii s potiskem té elegantní ochranné známky, o níž Job hovořil.

 

I když Pacquiao, jediný bojovník, který kdy vyhrál mistrovství světa v osmi váhových kategoriích, a Mayweather, který kraloval v pěti váhových kategoriích, nevedli kampaň pouze nebo dokonce většinou jako welterové váhy, není překvapením, že nejdůležitější průsečík jejich pozoruhodných kariér přichází ve stejné divizi, pro kterou je známo tolik největších legend boxu..

 

The “zlatý standard” ke kterému všechny welterové váhy touží, zůstává pozdní, skvělý Sugar Ray Robinson. Narozen Walker Smith Jr., hubené dítě, které nikdy nebojovalo v schváleném zápase na žádné úrovni, bylo spolu s trenérem Georgem Gainfordem na amatérském turnaji v Kingstonu., New York. Na otázku, zda má muší váhu, by chtěl vstoupit, Gainford se chystal říct ne, když ho Smith zatahal za rukáv a řekl, “budu bojovat.” Jak se ukázalo, Gainford měl kartu AAU – potřebovali jste jednoho, abyste byli certifikováni jako neprofesionál – jménem Ray Robinson, jeden z jeho boxerů, který se tohoto sportu vzdal. Smith/Robinson vyhráli čtyřkolové rozhodnutí, a, ačkoli to tehdy nikdo nevěděl, tak se zrodila legenda.

 

Robinson byl 85-0 jako amatér, než se stanete profesionálem 19 v 1940. Podle 1951, byl 128-1-2 s 84 knockoutová vítězství. I když je také připomínán, že vyhrál pětkrát titul ve střední váze, Robinson jako welterová váha nikdy neprohrál, vyhrávat tak často a tak důrazně, že legendární trenér, Eddie Futch, byl dojat, aby to pozoroval, “Měl všechno. Boxerské dovednosti, děrování síla, skvělá brada, mentální síla. Nebylo nic, co by nedokázal.”

 

Robinson měl také přehnané ego, což je možná nezbytná součást duševního složení každého velkého bojovníka. Ani stopa pochybností o vlastních schopnostech nevede k úspěchu v ringu. Jednou, když se zeptali na jeho “golfová hra,” Muhammad Ali, kdo nehrál golf, odpověděl, “jsem nejlepší, největší ze všech. jen jsem ještě nehrál.”

 

Mayweather do své práce rozhodně vnáší onu auru neporazitelnosti, a možná nejen proto, že jako profesionál ještě musí prohrát. V 2013, řekl, “Samozřejmě se cítím neporazitelný. jsem nejlepší. Nejdu do žádného boje s tím, že jsem porazitelný. Chci pro sebe vytvořit odkaz jako největšího bojovníka, který kdy vstoupil do ringu.”

 

Pacquiao, i když možná ne tak podrobný, není o nic méně bezpečný ve svém vlastním systému víry. Právě ty obrovské míry talentu a chvástání dělají Mayweather vs. Pacquiao událost, kterou musíte vidět. Který z těchto vynikajících bojovníků dokáže přimět toho druhého, aby se podřídil své vůli? Kdo bude mít své jméno napsáno větším písmem ve velké knize welterových vah?

 

Byla uvedena do Mezinárodní boxerské síně slávy 23 bojovníci, kteří byli, v té či oné době, šampioni welterové váhy. Kromě Robinsona, mezi ty, jejichž plakety zdobí posvátný sál, patří 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 Cocakes, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Dítě” Lewis a “Tajemný” Billy Smith. Mayweather a Pacquiao jsou si samozřejmě jisti, že se připojí k jejich řadám, jakmile budou způsobilí jít k hlasování..

 

Předstih k zápasu Mayweather vs. Pacquiao nevyvolal žádný nedostatek srovnání s minulými střety welterové váhy, které se vyznačují klasickou povahou těchto zápasů., široký veřejný zájem, který je doprovází, nebo obojí.

 

Je Mayweather vs. Pacquiao se pravděpodobně bude opakovat, říci, Leonard-Duran I, který Duran vyhrál na základě strhujícího jednomyslného rozhodnutí v červnu 25, 1980, v Montrealu? Epos Leonard-Hearns I, na září. 16, 1981, který viděl Leonarda, za sebou ve výsledkových kartách, rally pro drama, 14th-kolo TKO v Caesars Palace? Kontroverzní většinové rozhodnutí Trinidadu nad de la hoya v září. 18, 1999, sjednocení v Mandalay Bay? Nebo si vytvoří svou vlastní značku tak výrazným způsobem, že nelze nebo by neměla být prováděna žádná srovnání?

 

Když dojde na nezapomenutelné zápasy welterové váhy, už by mělo být jasné, že všechno a všechno je možné. Mayweather a Pacquiao se zapíší do historie, a přidat k tomu, pokusem ohnout osud každého ke svému vlastnímu účelu.

VERONA, NEW YORK (Duben 18) -Soustružení kámen Resort Casino ve městě Verona, New York was treated to a historic sold out match-up between two of the most exciting gladiators in boxing as Lucas “La Maqina”” MatthyssE (37-3, 34 KO) took a majority decision victory over “Sibiřský Rocky” Ruslan Provodnikov (24-4, 17 KO) in a 12-round junior welterweight bout on the split-site doubleheader on HBO Boxing After Dark ®.

Uvádí Banner Promotions a Golden Boy Promotions, & Arano Box Promotions the action packed night showcased two athletes fighting in the prime of their careers, with a title shot in the 140-pound division likely hanging in the horizon.

Provodnikov was cut badly in round two from an accidental headbutt. Matthysse targeted the eye but Provodnikov walked through every shot. Provodnikov came back later in the round with some solid combinations and landed some furious shots to Matthysse’s head. Matthysse had a nice bounce back round five as he landed some hard jabs to the face of an oncoming Provodnikov.

The war continued through the middle rounds as both fighters went toe to toe while Matthysse landed combinations from distance and Provodnikov went on the offensive and continued to brawl. Provodikov had a strong round eleven as he landed a hard left to the top of the head that buckled Matthysse and the Argentinian was forced to hold on. The two waged a final flurry in round twelve and it was Matthysse the former WBC champion won via majority decision with scores of 115-113 a dvakrát 114-114.

“I think I dominated the fight, I knew I had the best hits,” Said Lucas Matthysse. “Ruslan is a tough fighter, he took everything I threw at him. Mám velký respekt pro něj. There was a point when I thought that they would stop the fight because of Ruslan’s cut, but his team was able to control it. I hurt my hand in the sixth round, but I kept going because I wanted to prove that I am the best in the division and that I am ready for the toughest fighters. I want to move forward and fight the winner of Mayweather-Pacquiao.”

“He is the hardest puncher I have ever fought but I fight as hard as I can to the very end,” Said Provodnikov. “I never want the fight stopped. The only time would be when I am on my back.”

Going on before the live split-site HBO Boxing After Dark doubleheader, Patrick Teixeira(25-0, 21 KO) of Santa Catarina, Brazil faced off against Accra, Georgia’s Patrick Allotey (30-2, 24 KO) in a scheduled 10-round middleweight bout. Both fighters came at each other aggressively in the first round in an exciting exchange of hard punches. Teixeria put an end to the fight in the second round as he delivered a devastating blow to Allotey’s body knocking him down to win the fight via knockout.

“I am very happy and feel emotional about my first fight with Golden Boy Promotions,” said Patrick Teixeira. “I wanted to make sure I impressed them in my first fight, so I trained very hard to make sure I went the full 10 kolo. But I am very excited I got the knockout.”

Vitaly Kopylenko (25-1, 14 KO) won an eight round unanimous decision over Lekan Byfield (6-8-2, 1 KO) v middleweight záchvatu. Kopylenko knocked down Byfield twice on punches that staggered the Atlanta native into the ropes. Kopylenko cruise down the stretch of the fight to win via unanimous decision with a score of 79-72.

“I hurt my shoulder in the first round but I was able to gut it out and land some good shots,” said Kopylenko.

Washington, D.C standout, Lamont Roach Jr. (7-0, 3KO) faced Carolina, Puerto Rico je Jose Miguel Castro (4-3, 2 KO) in a scheduled six-round lightweight bout. Roach dominated the fight early on, winning the bout by unanimous decision.

“It was my first six-rounder,” said Lamont Roach Jr. “I think that I could have knocked him down or made him quit if I would have hit him harder in the beginning but I trained for six round and wanted to make sure I could go the distance. I did want the knockout towards the end, but I didn’t get it.”

Vitor Jones De Oliveira (9-0, 5 KO) won a six round unanimous decision over Guillermo Sanchez (15-14-1, 6 KO) v lehkém záchvatu. De Oiveira boxed well from the outside and countered the southpaw Sanchez nice and came home with the victory by scores of 59-55 a 58-56 dvakrát.

“Byl to dobrý zápas. It took me a few rounds to get going but I am very happy with my performance and looking forward to my next fight,” said De Oliveira.

Eddie “E-Boy” Gomez (18-1, 11 KO) The Bronx, New York started the night with a technical knockout victory over Jonathan Batista (14-6, 7 KO) of San Pedro de Marcos, Dominikánská republika, when Batista could not answer the bell to start round six in their scheduled 10-round super welterweight bout.

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Zanechat komentář

Podle: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Peníze” Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 KO) and Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KO) 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, ačkoli. It all goes to charity. Stále, this is a first for the state of Nevada, which traditionally requires that all weigh-ins be free of charge for fans to attend.

The level of anticipation surrounding this fight had a long time to build up. For the better part of the last decade, these two pound-for-pound juggernauts could not make this fight happen for one ridiculous reason after another. As someone who personally attended some of Mayweather’s public workouts in Vegas, I can attest to the fact that the undefeated welterweight champion repeatedly and relentlessly cited Pacquiao’s refusal to undergo Olympic style blood testing when asked about the attempts being made to get this fight signed over five years ago.

Mayweather even came up with a little rap lyric to express the issue in simple terms:

“If you wanna fight the best, you gotta take the test,” he belted out during a sit-up session at one of those open workouts.

Pacquiao changed his tune on the testing and overcame the biggest hurdle of all when he met personally with Mayweather and agreed that he would be the “B” side and should therefore get a smaller split of the purse. As the video above outlines, Mayweather was then able to dominate the negotiation process.

Although pundits still say this fight will be the biggest in the history of the sport, the question must be asked if this pairing is happening too late in the careers of both fighters for it to be as exciting as some experts predict it will be.

It was always clear to me this fight would happen, but it became obvious that the longer it took to sign the contracts, the better Floyd’s chances of winning would be. Stále, Floyd did admit in 2012 tím, že the real reason he didn’t want to fight Pacquiao was due to health concerns. He denied being scared, calling himself “smart” for thinking about his family and his health first. Stále, he insisted that the main reason his health would be at risk in that fight was if Pacquiao was really doing steroids, as Mayweather alleged and ended up being sued over. The two settled out of court and the fight is now imminent, so some fans think it’s all water under the bridge. Others are just plain aggravated that we had to wait this long for this bout to come to fruition.

Boxing Legend Marvin Hagler even commented recently that Mayweather waited until Pacquiao aged a little more before signing to fight him. Hagler compared Mayweather’s tactics to Sugar Ray Leonard waiting until Hagler became a little “soft” himself before they signed their fight contract. That bout turned out to be hugely controversial and left Hagler extremely bitter about the sport that made him famous.

Tak, the May-Pac fight will happen, and Mayweather is the obvious favorite. To learn more about the gambling side of this story, check out Boxing betting at William Hill site. The biggest payoff for any lucky bettor will be a successful bet on Pacquiao, but it’s easy to wonder if Pacquiao really is too old to win this time out. Po všem, there are tons of concerns with Manny’s calf muscles seizing up, and he reportedly uses a healing cream that costs thousands of dollars per bottle to address the problem.

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 “Peníze” 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.

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

 

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.

 

“Pro mě, 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. S tím řekl, 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.

 

“těším se Květen 2. I love Manny’s chances of winning, To je hlavní věc. 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.”
