Ostegunean, April 16, Roc Nation Sports and Miguel Cotto Promotions hosted a press conference at The 40/40 Club in Manhattan to announce the next highly anticipated battle for Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KO en), the reigning WBC Middleweight and Ring Magazine World Champion and the first native of Puerto Rico to become world champion in four different weight classes. On June 6, 2015, Cotto will defend his titles against former Two-Time World Champion Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 KO en) of Australia in a fight that will be televised live on HBO from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

 

Here’s what the participants had to say…

 

Miguel Cotto: “All I have to say is I’ve been here for the past two days and I’m eager to get back to Los Angeles and get into another training session and get back to New York on June 6. All I have to worry about is my mindset during the fight. I know Daniel is a great fighter and I’m going to do my best as always to bring a good and exciting fight to all the fans. See you all on June 6.”

 

Daniel Geale: “I’m as excited as you can ever imagine. This is a great moment for me. Eta etortzen June 6, it’s going to be a hell of a fight and I can’t wait to walk away with the titles.”

 

Michael Yormark, Lehendakaria & Chief of Branding and Strategy of Roc Nation: “Today is a historic day for Roc Nation and our boxing division. Muhammed Ali once said ‘he who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.’ At Roc Nation, we decided to launch our boxing division in August of 2014. We knew we were taking a risk. We knew that we were entering a sport that was established with a long history in a deep-rooted culture. It took courage, but frankly Roc Nation is nothing if not courageous…we’re committed to promoting the biggest fights and the biggest fighters. Now just a few short months later, we stand here with one of the best fighters in the world, announcing a world championship bout inside the new mecca of boxing, Barclays Center, and broadcast on the standard bearer for live boxing telecasts, HBO. It took courage and risk to get here but this is a proud moment for all of us.”

 

Hector Soto, Miguel Cotto Promociones: “Miguel Cotto is back and he’s in his second home in New York. As everyone knows, it’s been a tradition for the past couple of years that Miguel fights on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, so it’s an honor to fight during that time again. On June 6, Miguel Cotto will defend his Middleweight WBC Championship against a tough opponent, Daniel Geale. Have no doubt, it will be a great fight at Barclays Center and everyone will enjoy the fight especially the Puerto Ricans. Miguel Cotto will be ready, will train as hard as always and be ready for the challenge Daniel Geale brings.”

 

Gary Shaw, Gary Shaw Productions: “If you look at Daniel’s fight against Sturm, when we went to Germany and lifted the belt and became the world champion, that’s the Daniel Geale you’re going to see on June 6. You’re going to see a great fight. Miguel Cotto is a great fighter. Daniel understands that and we have a great deal of respect for him, baina, June 6on HBO at Barclays Center, it will be a whole new night. It will be a night when Daniel Geale takes the belt back to Australia.”

 

Brett Yormark, CEO of Barclays Center and the Brooklyn Nets: “Boxing is a big part of what we do at Barclays Center. We’re very passionate about it and very deeply committed. This will be our 13garren big night of Brooklyn Boxing in just two and a half years and I am proud to say that Barclays Center is the new mecca of boxing in this country. Miguel Cotto has a storied history in New York, so we are delighted that he is calling Barclays Center his new home in this city.”

Provodnikovek ahalegin heroikoa egiten du Matthysse borrokan; “Siberian Rocky The” beste behin erakusten du zergatik den boxeoaren borrokalari zirraragarriena

Argazkia Kreditu: Emily Harney-HoganArgazkiak/GoldenBoyPromotions/BannerPromotions

Philadelphia (April 20, 2015)— Joan den Larunbata Gau, boxeo zaleek borroka klasiko baten lekuko izan ziren Lucas Matthysse-k gehiengoaren erabakia hartu zuen Ruslan Provodnikov batean 12 welter pisu borobila eta jubenilen arteko liskarra agortuta dagoen jendetzaren aurrean Veronako Turning Stone Resort Kasinoan, New York.
Bout, HBO Boxing After Dark telebistak eman zuena, dagoeneko egin du jauzi zerrendaburura 2015 Urteko Fight.
Borroka osteko hitzaldiaren zati handi bat Provodnikov-en ausardiaren inguruan izan da, hamabi errondetatik hamaika borroka egin baitzuen ezkerreko begia larriki moztuta, ustekabeko buruko kolpe baten ondorioz.. Aurpegiaren ezkerreko aldean odola isurtzen zuela, eta begia ixten, Provodnikov heroikoki borrokatu zen itzultzeko eta Matthysse hainbat aldiz min egiteko borrokan, eta hamaika txandan ezkerreko gantxo bat lurreratu zuen, Matthysse mihisera ia bidali zuena.
Asko eraztun aldean, besteak beste, The Bleacher Report, HBOko Harold Lederman, UCNlive.com-eko Steve Kim, & ESPN.com-eko Dan Rafael, berdindu zuen partida 114-114.
“Ezin nintzen gehiago harro egon Ruslanez, esan zuen Banner Promozioak Promozioak Artie Pelullok.
Larunbata gauak boxeoan borrokalaririk gogorrena eta sinesgarriena dela erakutsi zuen. Larunbata en borrokak ere sendotu zuen Ruslan kiroleko borrokalari gehien telebistako lagunena dela, eta askoz ere borroka handi gehiago izango dira etorkizun hurbilean Ruslanentzat.”

 

147-LIBROKO PISUA KLASEA LARUNBATEAN BERRIZ ZENTROA HARTU DU, MAIATZA 2 MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENAN

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
Beste Showdown klasiko batean

Welterweight Mailan

LAS VEGAS (April 20, 2015) — Askotan esan izan da hori “pisu astuneko dibisioa doan heinean, hala doa boxeoa,” baina ez da beti horrela izan eta, hain zuzen ere, baliteke berantiarreko ikuspegi integral batetik begiratuta ere baliozkoa ez izatea 19garren mendean. In Boxing, Bertram Job idazle alemaniarren epopeia, 420-orrialdeko kafe-mahaia zientzia gozoaren alderdi guztiei buruzko tesia, hori idazten du, “Dotorezia izar argal eta arinen marka da 147 kilo azpiko pisuko klasean, eta edertasunaren zaleak eta zaleak erakarri ditu beste inork ez bezala.”

 

Eta hala gertatzen da dibisioaren historia aberatsean beste erreferentziazko sarrera bat izango denarekin, onMaiatza 2 MGM Grand Las Vegas, zuzeneko ordainpeko bidez, welterweight txapeldun Floyd “Dirua” Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos) ikaskide titularra hartzen du Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 Kos) kirolaren historiako sari-borrokarik aberatsena izango den aspaldian aurreikusitako bateratze-erakustean, eta Jobek aipatzen zuen marka komertzial dotore horrekin inprimatutako pisu-mailako partida nagusi batzuekin alderatu du..

 

Pacquiao arren, zortzi pisutan munduko txapelketak irabazi dituen borrokalari bakarra, eta Mayweather, bost pisu-mailatan errege izan dena, ez dute kanpainarik egin bakarrik edo gehienbat welter pisu gisa, ia ez da harritzekoa euren karrera aipagarrien elkargunerik garrantzitsuena boxeoaren kondaira handienetako asko batez ere ezagunak diren sail berean egotea..

 

The “urrezko estandarra” zeinari welter-pisu guztiek nahi duten berandu geratzen da, Sugar Ray Robinson bikaina. Walker Smith Jr. jaio zen., edozein mailatan zigortutako borroka batean inoiz borrokatu ez zuen mutiko argala George Gainford entrenatzailearekin batera Kingston-eko afizionatu mailako txapelketa batean izan zen., N.Y.. Sartu nahi zuen euli pisurik ote zuen galdetuta, Gainford ezetz esateko zegoen Smithek mahukatik tira egin eta esan zuenean, “Borrokatuko naiz.” Agertu zen bezala, Gainfordek AAU txartela zuen – bat behar zenuen ez-profesional gisa ziurtagiria izateko – Ray Robinsonen izenean, kirola utzi zuen bere boxeolarietako bat. Smith/Robinsonek lau itzuliko erabakia irabazi zuen, eta, orduan inork ez zekien arren, horrela jaio zen kondaira bat.

 

Robinson zen 85-0 afizionatu gisa profesional bihurtu aurretik 19 in 1940. By 1951, zen 128-1-2 batera 84 kanporaketa garaipenak. Pisu ertaineko titulua bost aldiz irabazteagatik ere gogoratzen den arren, Robinsonek ez zuen inoiz galdu welter pisu gisa, hainbestetan eta hain zorrotz irabaztea entrenatzaile mitikoa, Eddie Futch, hunkitu egin zen hori ikusteak, “Denetarik zeukan. Boxeorako trebetasunak, puntzonatzeko power, kokots handia, indar mentala. Ez zegoen ezer egin ezin zuenik.”

 

Robinsonek ere izugarrizko egoa zuen, zeina beharbada edozein borrokalari handiren buruko makillajerako beharrezkoa den osagaia. Norberaren gaitasunean duda-arrastoa ere ez da ona ring-ean arrakasta izateko. Behin, bereaz galdetuta “golf jokoa,” Muhammad Ali, golfean jokatzen ez zuena, erantzun zuen, “Ni naiz onena, denetan handiena. Oraindik ez dut jokatu.”

 

Zalantzarik gabe, Mayweather-ek garaitezinaren aura dakar bere obrara, eta agian ez bakarrik profesional gisa oraindik galdu ez duelako. In 2013, esan zuen, “Noski ezin hobea sentitzen naiz. Ni naiz onena. Ez naiz borrokan sartuko garaigarria naizela irudikatuz. Inoiz ringera sartu den borrokalaririk handiena bezala ondar bat egin nahi dut niretzat.”

 

Pacquiao, beharbada bezain hitzezkoa ez den bitartean, ez da hain segurua bere sinesmen-sisteman. Talentu eta harrotasun neurri handi horiek dira Mayweather vs. Pacquiao ikusi beharreko ekitaldia. Borrokalari nabarmen hauetako zeinek egin dezake bestea bere borondatera makurtu? Nork izango du bere izena letra handiagoz idatzita welter pisuen liburu handian?

 

Nazioarteko Boxeoaren Ospearen Aretoa sartu da 23 ziren borrokalariak, noiz edo noiz, welter pisuko txapeldunak. Robinsonez gain, areto santua apaintzen duten plakak Sugar Ray Leonard daude, 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 eta “Misteriotsua” Billy Smith. Mayweather eta Pacquiao-k, noski, beren zerrendan batuko direla ziurtatu dute bozketara joateko eskubidea duten bezain laster.

 

Mayweather vs. Pacquiaok ez du konparaziorik falta izan aurreko welter-pisuetako liskarretan, borroka horien izaera klasikoagatik nabarmentzen direnak., horiei dagokien interes publiko zabala, edo biak.

 

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao litekeena da errepikatzea, esan, Leonard-Duran I, Duranek irabazi zuen ekainean aho batez hartutako erabakia 25, 1980, Montrealen? Leonard-Hearns I. epikoa, Sept on. 16, 1981, Leonard ikusi zuena, puntuazio-tauletan atzetik, rallya dramatiko baterako, 14garren-TKO biribila Caesars Palace-n? Trinidad-ek De La Hoyaren inguruko gehiengo polemikoa erabaki zuen irailean. 18, 1999, bateratzearen aurkako borroka Mandalay Bay-n? Edo bere marka egingo du halako modu bereizgarrian, ez baita konparaziorik egin edo egin behar?

 

Welter pisuko borroka ahaztezinei dagokienez, honezkero agerikoa izan beharko litzateke dena eta dena posible dela. Mayweather eta Pacquiaok historia egingo dute, eta gehitu, patua bakoitza bere helburura makurtzen saiatuz.

Aurkezlea Banner Promociones eta Golden Boy Promozioak, & Arano Box Promociones ekintzaz betetako gauean bi kirolari erakutsi zituzten euren ibilbidearen gorenean borrokan, 140 kiloko dibisioko titulua ziurrenik zeruertzean zintzilik.

Provodnikov gaizki moztu zen bigarren txandan ustekabeko buruko kolpe baten ondorioz. Matthysse begia jo zuen, baina Provodnikov jaurtiketa guztietan ibili zen. Provodnikov itzuli zen geroago konbinazio sendo batzuekin eta Matthysseren buruan jaurtiketa amorratu batzuk egin zituen..

Gerrak erdiko txandetan jarraitu zuen, bi borrokalariak behatz-punta joan ziren bitartean Matthysse-k urrutitik konbinazioak lurreratu zituen eta Provodnikov erasora joan zen eta borrokan jarraitu zuen.. Provodikov-ek hamaika txanda indartsua egin zuen, ezker gogor bat lurreratu baitzuen buruaren goiko aldean, Matthysse lotu zuen eta argentinarrari eutsi behar izan zion.. Biek azken boladan egin zuten hamabigarren txandan eta Matthysse izan zen WBCko txapeldun ohia gehiengoaren erabakiz irabazi zuena. 115-113 birritan eta 114-114.

“Uste dut borrokan nagusi izan naizela, Banekien hit onenak nituela,” Sa'id Lucas Matthysse. “Ruslan borrokalari gogorra da, bota nion guztia hartu zuen. Errespetu handia daukat harentzat. Bazen momentu bat Ruslanen mozketagatik borroka geldituko zutela pentsatu nuen, baina bere taldea kontrolatzeko gai izan zen. Seigarren txandan eskuan min hartu nuen, baina aurrera jarraitu nuen, mailan onena naizela eta borrokalari gogorrenetarako prest nagoela frogatu nahi nuelako.. Aurrera egin eta Mayweather-Pacquiaoko irabazlearen aurka borrokatu nahi dut.”

“Inoiz borrokatu dudan ukabilkatzailerik gogorrena da, baina ahal dudan gehien borrokatzen dut azkenera arte,” Said Provodnikov. “Ez dut inoiz nahi borroka gelditzea. Momentu bakarra bizkarrean nagoenean izango litzateke.”

Bi borrokalariak oldarkor heldu ziren elkarren aurka lehen txandan, kolpe gogorren truke zirraragarri batean. Teixiak borrokari amaiera eman zion bigarren itzulian, Alloteyren gorputzean kolpe lazgarria eman baitzuen, kolpe bidez borroka irabazteko..

“Oso pozik nago eta hunkituta nago Golden Boy Promotions-ekin dudan lehen borrokagatik,” esan zuen Patrick Teixeirak. “Ziurtatu nahi nituen nire lehen borrokan harritu nituen, beraz, oso gogor entrenatu nuen bete-betean joan nintzen ziurtatzeko 10 txandan. Baina ilusio handiz nago kanporaketa lortu nuelako.”

“Nire lehen sei txanda izan zen,” esan zuen Lamont Roach Jr. “Hasieran gogor jo izan banu kolpatu egingo banu kolpatu edo kolpatu nezakeela uste dut, baina sei txandatan entrenatu eta distantziara joango nintzela ziurtatu nahi nuen.. Nik nahi nuen kanporaketa amaiera aldera, baina ez nuen lortu.”

Vitor Jones De Oliveira (9-0, 5 KO en) sei itzuliko aho batez irabazi zuen erabakia Guillermo Sanchez (15-14-1, 6 Kos) bout arin batean. De Oiveirak ondo kutxatu zuen kanpotik eta ederki aurre egin zion Sanchez hegoaldeari eta garaipenarekin etxeratu zen. 59-55 eta 58-56 bitan.

“Ona borroka bat izan zen. Erronda batzuk behar izan nituen martxan jartzeko, baina oso pozik nago nire errendimenduarekin eta hurrengo borrokaren zain nago,” esan zuen De Oliveirak.

Eddie “E-Mutil” Gomez (18-1, 11 Kos) Bronxen of, New Yorkek kanporaketa tekniko batekin hasi zuen gaua Jonathan Batista (14-6, 7 Kos) San Pedro de Markosetik, Dominikar Errepublika, Batistak ezin izan dion txirrina erantzun sei txandan hasteko programatutako 10 txandako super welter pisuan.

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

By: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Dirua” Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 Kos) eta Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos) maiatzaren 2an talka egingo dute, 2015 boxeoaren historiako borrokarik txalotuenetako batean. Borroka hau oso handia da, nahiz eta pisatzeko sarrerak saltzeko asmoa jendetza kontrolatzeko arazoak direla eta. Etekinak ez dira sustatzaileentzat edo boxeolarientzat izango, arren. Dena ongintzara doa. Still, hau Nevada estaturako lehenengoa da, horrek, tradizionalki, pisaketa guztiak doan izatea eskatzen du zaleek bertaratzeko.

Borroka honen inguruko ikusmin mailak denbora luzea zuen eraikitzeko. Azken hamarkadaren zatirik handiena, kiloko bi juggernaut hauek ezin izan zuten borroka hau gauzatu arrazoi barregarri bat bestearen atzetik. Norbaitek bezala pertsonalki Mayweather-en Vegasen entrenamendu publiko batzuetara joan zen, Egiazta dezaket garaitu gabeko welter pisuko txapeldunak behin eta berriz eta gupidagabe aipatu zuela Pacquiaok olinpiar estiloko odol-analisiak egiteari uko egin izana duela bost urte borroka hau sinatzeko egiten ari ziren saiakerei buruz galdetuta..

Mayweather-ek rap letra txiki bat ere asmatu zuen arazoa termino sinpleetan adierazteko:

“Onenen aurka borrokatu nahi baduzu, proba egin behar duzu,” eserita saio batean gerrikoa bota zuen entrenamendu ireki horietako batean.

Pacquiaok bere doinua aldatu zuen probetan eta oztoporik handiena gainditu zuen Mayweatherrekin pertsonalki elkartu eta bera izango zela adostu zuenean. “B” alboan eta, beraz, poltsaren zatiketa txikiagoa lortu beharko luke. Goiko bideoak azaltzen duen bezala, Mayweather negoziazio prozesua menderatzeko gai izan zen orduan.

Nahiz eta adituek oraindik borroka hau kirolaren historiako handiena izango dela esaten, Galdera egin behar da parekatze hori beranduegi gertatzen ari den bi borrokalarien karreran, aditu batzuek aurreikusten duten bezain zirraragarria izan dadin..

Beti izan nuen argi borroka hau gertatuko zela, baina nabaria zen zenbat eta denbora gehiago behar izan kontratuak sinatzeko, orduan eta hobeak izango lirateke Floydek irabazteko aukerak. Still, Floydek sartu egin zuen 2012 duten Pacquiaorekin borrokatu nahi ez zuen benetako arrazoia osasun arazoengatik izan zen. Beldurra izan zela ukatu zuen, bere buruari deituz “adimentsu” lehenik bere familian eta osasunean pentsatzeagatik. Still, bere osasuna borroka horretan arriskuan egongo zen arrazoi nagusia Pacquiao benetan esteroideak egiten ari balira zela azpimarratu zuen., Mayweather-ek salatu zuen bezala eta auzitara eraman zuten. Biak epaitegitik kanpo konpondu ziren eta borroka berehala dago orain, beraz, zale batzuek zubi azpian dagoen ura dela uste dute. Beste batzuk, besterik gabe, larritu egiten dira hainbeste denbora itxaron behar izan dugulako borroka hau gauzatu arte.

Boxeoaren kondaira Marvin Haglerrek duela gutxi komentatu zuen Mayweather-ek Pacquiao apur bat gehiago zahartu arte itxaron zuela berarekin borrokatzeko sinatu aurretik.. Haglerrek Mayweather-en taktikak Sugar Ray Leonardekin alderatu zituen Hagler pixka bat bihurtu arte itxaron. “biguna” bera borroka-kontratua sinatu baino lehen. Borroka hori oso polemikoa izan zen eta Hagler oso mingotsa utzi zuen ospetsu egin zuen kirolaz.

Beraz, May-Pac borroka gertatuko da, eta Mayweather da faborito nabaria. Istorio honen jokoaren alderdiari buruz gehiago jakiteko, begiratu Boxeo apustuak William Hill gunean. Zorioneko edozein apustulariren ordainik handiena Pacquiaoren aldeko apustu arrakastatsua izango da, baina erraza da galdetzea Pacquiao benetan zaharregia den oraingoan irabazteko. Azken finean, kezka mordoa dago Mannyren txahalaren muskuluak atzematearekin, eta botila bakoitzeko milaka dolar balio duen krema sendagarri bat erabiltzen omen du arazoari aurre egiteko.

Mayweather (38) borrokalari zaharragoa da, baina 36 urteko Mannyk borrokatu zuen 17 pro ranketan borroka gehiago eta ziurrenik puncher aktiboena izango da “Dirua” inoiz aurre egin. Mayweather-en normalean defentsarako trebetasun ikusgarria eta izugarria probatu daiteke.

Borroka honek baliteke sarreretan edo Pay-Per-View jarioan gastatzen duzun zentimo bakoitza ez izatea, baina azkenean gertatzen ari dela oraindik berezia da. Mundu osoko boxeozaleek gozatu eta eskertu dezaketen borroka izango da oraindik. Azken finean, borrokalariei dagokie biak direla frogatzea borroka honek itxaropenak betetzen dituela ziurtatzeko.. Aukerak dira, Floydek ahalik eta onena egingo du MGM Grand-etik uzteko erabakirik gabe irabaziz. Espero dezagun Pacquiaok deposituan nahikoa geratzen dela ziurtatzeko Mayweather-ek inoiz izan duen borrokarik lehiakorrena dela ziurtatzeko. Agian ez da garairik egokiena borroka hau gertatzeko, baina askoz hobe da berandu lortzea inoiz baino.

This is going to be the best fight of the year.
I have had the good fortune to co-promote Corrales-Castillo I and this could be that.
It is great that two fighters in the prime of their career to be in the ring.

I have to thank my partners at Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar De La Hoya and Eric Gomez. It’s very rare and great that two fighters in their prime have decided to face each other in the ring.

I want to thank Turning Stone Resort Casino, they are a first class operation.
Both these fighters have gotten here fighting tough, top fighters. They want to fight the best just like Oscar and Bernard who are here today. Ruslan and Lucas believe that they are the best, they are fighting each other in their prime, something that is very rare in the sport.

This is the perfect example of what boxing can be when you have two great fighters face each other in the ring. Putting on the great fight is what Banner Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions is all about.

HBO is one of the best partners in the business, they are committed to putting on the best fights on television. When you watch HBO, you know it’s the best.

Lucas is one of the best fighters to come out of Argentina. He has a great fighting spirit. He has the best combination of being a brawler and can also box and move when he wants to. This great combination makes him a boxer-puncher, which makes him fun to watch.

“Lucas’ record speaks for himself, with one of the best percentages of knockouts in the sport.

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

 

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.

 

“Niretzat, 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. Esan, 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 Maiatza 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.
