Mayweather-Pacquiao Undercard Update: Sid El Harrak eagerly awaiting Pearson Showdown!

Los Angeles, CA (Aprilie 22, 2015) – In less than two weeks, Sid El Harrak will have the chance to change his life and boxing career when he faces undefeated Chris Pearson as part of the historic Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao card at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

 

To prepare for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, El Harrak’s dedicated all of his time to various aspects of training. From cardio to strength and conditioning, sharpening his skills in the gym and intense sparring sessions, the California based Londoner is covering everything imaginable. Cel mai important, he believes the grueling training sessions he’s gone through at both Wild Card Boxing Gym locations is already paying off.

 

“It’s very important to have an ample amount of time to train for a fight and that’s not something I’ve had my whole career,"Said El Harrak, care este 12-2-2 cu 7 victorii prin knock-out. "Mintal, Ma simt 100 percent ready to go out there and shine in the biggest fight of my life. I’m still working hard to balance everything out so the world sees the best Sid El Harrak sâmbăta viitoare."

 

He also loves being considered the underdog against the 11-0 and heavily hyped Pearson.

 

“I have a lot of pride and knowing that I’m coming into this fight as the B-side pushes me that much more. I love the fact that Pearson’s supposed to be “the guy” in this fight. If I fought who he did, I’d be undefeated. În același timp, had he faced the opponents I did under the same circumstances, he’d have a few losses. Ca să fiu sincer, I’m sick of thinking about him. This is the most eager I’ve been for a fight in my career and I can’t wait to show everybody what I can do on May 2nd!"

 

The El Harrak-Pearson ten round junior middleweight bout will be televised on various networks throughout the world.

 

147-POUND GREUTATE CLASA IA Center Stage din nou sâmbătă, MAI 2 Pe arena MGM Grand Garden

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Piața Off
Într-un alt Showdown Classic

În Divizia semimijlocie

LAS VEGAS (Aprilie 20, 2015) — Acesta a fost de multe ori a spus că “ca divizia grea merge, așa merge box,” dar care nu a fost întotdeauna cazul și, de fapt, nu ar putea fi chiar valabilă când este privit dintr-o perspectivă globală datând de la sfârșitul 19lea secol. În Box, Epic autor german Bertram Iov, 420-Pagina disertație de cafea-masă la toate aspectele legate de stiinta dulce, el scrie că, “Elegance este marca de stele Slim și agile în cadrul 147 de lire sterline clasa de greutate, care a atras insideri și admiratori de frumusete ca nimeni altul.”

 

Și așa este și cu ceea ce va fi o altă intrare de referință în istoria bogată a diviziei atunci când, peMai 2 la MGM Grand din Las Vegas, live pe pay-per-view, campion semimijlocie Floyd “Bani” Mayweather (47-0, 26 KO) ia pe colegi titlist Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 KO) într-o confruntare unificare anticipat lung, care va fi cel mai bogat prizefight din istoria sportului, și care a atras comparații la unele dintre premierului matchups într-o clasă de greutate imprimat cu care marca elegant la care se face referire Job.

 

Deși Pacquiao, singurul luptator care a câștigat Campionatele Mondiale de la opt categorii de greutate, și Mayweather, care a domnit în cinci clase de greutate, nu au militat exclusiv sau chiar cea mai mare parte ca welterweights, este greu o surpriză că cel mai important intersecția carierei lor remarcabile vine în aceeași divizia pentru care atât de mulți dintre cei mai mari legende box sunt în primul rând cunoscute.

 

The “Standarde de aur” la care toate welterweights aspiră rămâne târziu, Sugar Ray Robinson mare. Nascut Walker Smith Jr., copilul slab care nu au luptat într-un meci sancționat la orice nivel a fost o etichetă, împreună cu antrenorul George Gainford la un turneu de amatori în Kingston, N.Y.. Întrebat dacă el a avut o muscă ar fi dorit să intre, Gainford a fost pe cale de a spune nu, atunci când Smith trase pe mânecă și a spus, “Voi lupta.” După cum sa dovedit, Gainford avut un card de AAU – ai nevoie de unul pentru a fi certificate ca un non-profesionale – în numele Ray Robinson, unul dintre boxeri care au renunțat la sport. Smith / Robinson a câștigat o decizie de patru rotund, și, deși nimeni nu știa atunci, astfel sa născut o legendă.

 

Robinson a fost 85-0 ca un amator înainte de a porni la pro 19 în 1940. De 1951, a fost 128-1-2 cu 84 victorii knockout. Deși el este, de asemenea, amintit pentru castigarea titlului mijlocie de cinci ori, Robinson nu a pierdut nici un semimijlocie ca, câștigătoare atât de des și atât de categoric încât formatorul legendarul, Eddie Futch, a fost mutat pentru a observa că, “El a avut tot. Abilități de box, putere stantare, un mare chin, puterea mentală. Nu a fost nimic nu putea face.”

 

Robinson a avut, de asemenea, un ego supradimensionat, care, probabil, este o componentă necesară pentru machiaj mentală orice mare luptător lui. Chiar și o urmă de îndoială în capacitatea cuiva nu este propice pentru succesul în ring. Dată, când a fost întrebat despre lui “joc de golf,” Muhammad Ali, care nu au jucat golf, răspuns, “Sunt cel mai bun, cel mai mare de pe toți. Doar că nu am jucat încă.”

 

Mayweather aduce cu siguranță că aura de invincibilitate a operei sale, și poate nu doar pentru că el nu a fost încă să-și piardă ca un profesionist. În 2013, el a spus, “Bineînțeles că simt imbatabil. Sunt cel mai bun. Nu merg în orice luptă imaginind că sunt beatable. Vreau sa fac o moștenire pentru mine ca cel mai mare luptător care a intrat vreodată inelul.”

 

Pacquiao, în timp ce, probabil, nu la fel de detaliată, nu este mai puțin sigură în propriul sistem sa credinta. Este aceste măsuri cu varf de talent și fanfaronadă care fac Mayweather vs. Pacquiao un trebuie să-vedea eveniment. Care dintre aceste luptători restante pot face alte supune voinței lui? Care va fi numele lui scris in print mai mare în cartea mare a welterweights?

 

Boxing Hall of Fame International a inaugurat 23 luptători care au fost, la un moment dat sau altul, campioni semimijlocie. În plus față de Robinson, cei ale căror placi harul sala sfințit includ Ray Leonard Sugar, 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 Cola, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Copil” Lewis și “Misterios” Billy Smith. Mayweather și Pacquiao sunt, desigur, asigurate de aderare rândurile lor, de îndată ce acestea devin eligibile pentru a merge pe buletinul de vot.

 

Plumb-up pentru Mayweather vs. Pacquiao a generat nici o penurie de comparații la ciocniri semimijlocie trecut, care sunt notabile pentru natura clasic al acestor crize, raspandita insotitor de interes public pentru a le, sau amândouă.

 

Este Mayweather vs. Pacquiao mai susceptibile de a fi o repetare a, spune, Leonard-Duran I, care Duran a câștigat pe o decizie unanimă vibrant iunie 25, 1980, în Montreal? Epic Leonard-Hearns I, Sept. 16, 1981, care a văzut Leonard, Conduși pe scorecard, raliu pentru o dramatică, 14lea-TKO runda la Caesars Palace? Decizie majoritară controversată Trinidad pe deasupra De La Hoya in septembrie lor. 18, 1999, unificare showdown la Mandalay Bay? Sau va face propria marcă, astfel încât distinctiv care nu pot sau comparații ar trebui elaborate?

 

Când vine vorba de crize semimijlocie de neuitat, de acum ar trebui să fie evident că nimic și totul este posibil. Mayweather și Pacquiao va face istorie, și se adaugă la aceasta, prin încercarea de a se aplece destin fiecare la propria lor scop.

CARSON, Calif. (Aprilie 18, 2015) – Confident and determined, Andrzej “The PolishPrinț” Fonfara (27-3, 16 KO) spoiled the ring return of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KO) in resounding fashion Sâmbătă noapte, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofSHOWTIME Campionatul BOX trăi pe ARATĂ TIMPUL.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Polonia, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexic, with a wide left hook 50 seconds into the ninth round before a boisterous crowd of 8,636 predominately-Chavez fans at StubHub Center. It was the first time in 52 professional fights that Chavez had hit the canvas from a punch.

 

Upon returning to the corner, Chavez could be heard on the telecast telling trainer Joe Goossen that he had hurt his right leg and could no longer continue. Momente mai târziu, the fight was halted. The busier and more accurate fighter throughout, Fonfara was comfortably ahead on the three judgesscorecards by scored of 89-80 și 88-81 twice after nine full rounds.

 

Offered an ecstatic Fonfara, who had his fair share of Polish fans at the venue: “I knew he was a tough fighter, quick and in good shape but when he hit me for the first time in the first round, I knew I was going to win this fight. He didn’t punch as hard as everybody said he did.

 

I saw his punches easily coming in. I know I threw more punches. I was a little surprised that he did not come out for the (10lea) but he was cut, had been getting beat up and had just got knocked down, so he knew what would happen if he came out.

 

Chavez said before the fight that he didn’t think I could take his body punches. I think I took them pretty good and passed that test.

 

I know there are things I can still work on in training to become a more complete boxer, darla noapte was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Adonis Stevenson.

 

Said Chavez, the son of legendary Mexican icon, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. in the ring afterward and before he was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, “Poate 170,172 pounds is too big for me, maybe I’ll go back down. I’m not sure what my future holds. It was a very tough fight. But I congratulate Andrzej.

 

Goossen told reporters afterward that he hadstopped the fight. It was my decision. I didn’t like what I saw. ”

 

In the first half of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader, undefeated world-ranked super lightweight Amir I (17-0, 14 KO), of Davie, Fla., prin Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “Hammer” Castel.

 

The talented, versatile, Am, 24, controlled a fight that featured numerous exchanges especially early on with a left jab and straight right hand.

 

My combinations were effective the whole night, we stuck to our gameplan and came out victorious,” said Imam. “I want any of the world champions next”.

 

Castel, who saw a nine-fight winning streak come to an end, a spus “Am crezut că am câștigat lupta. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; bine, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.

 

Anterior Sâmbătă, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, neînvinsă Moises “El Chucky” Flori (23-0, 16 KO), Guadalajara, Mexic, captured the WBA Super Bantamweight Interim World Championship with a thrilling 12-round split decision over defending champion Oscar Escandon (24-2 16 KO), of Tolima, Columbia.

 

Flori, face sa 2015 debut and third start in a row in the United States, triumfat prin scorurile 116-112 de două ori și 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Acest lucru este un vis devenit realitate – more than a dream come true – pentru mine,” el a spus. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, da, I thought it was very, very close but I absolutely feel I won.

 

I want to fight the best next, the top guys at 122 pounds and right now the top guy is Leo Santa Cruz. That’s who I’d like to fight next. I really want to thank all my team, de sus până jos, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. We’re very happy that we joined the Al Haymon team. We’re very loyal and we just really appreciate everything they’ve done for us.

 

Escandon felt he’d done enough to win despite injuring the right index finger on his right hand in the seventh round.

I did all that I could, everything was in my reach, but I think I broke or fractured my finger,” el a spus. “In boxing things happen that are out of your control. Because I hurt my hand, I couldn’t throw punches the way I wanted to with my right hand. I tried to do all I could with it. But I didn’t want to injure it further. I’m OK, but I definitely would love a rematch.

 

In the SHOWTIME EXTREME co-feature, super-semimijlocie Omar “El Businessman”Chavez (33-3-1, 22 KO), of Culiacan, the younger brother of Chavez, Jr. and son of legendary Julio Cesar Sr., won an exciting, hard-au luptat, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 KO), of Arjona, Columbia.

Chavez won by the scores of 78-75 de două ori și 77-74. There were no knockdowns.

 

Unbeaten Argentine welterweight Fabian “TNT” Maidana (6-0, 5 KO), de Santa Fe, Argentina, the brother of former world champion Marcos Maidana, registered a second-round TKO (32 secunde în runda) over outclassed Cory Vom Baur (2-3), of Vancouver, Spălare.

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

De: Bogat Bergeron

Floyd “Bani” Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 KO) and MannyPac 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, deși. It all goes to charity. Încă, 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. Încă, Floyd did admit in 2012 că the real reason he didn’t want to fight Pacquiao was due to health concerns. He denied being scared, calling himselfsmartfor thinking about his family and his health first. Încă, 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 littlesofthimself 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.

Așa, the May-Pac fight will happen, and Mayweather is the obvious favorite. To learn more about the gambling side of this story, verifică 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. Dupa toate acestea, 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 “Bani” 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 the fighters, trainers and executives said Joi:

 

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR., Fostul campion mondial

I had a great training camp. I feel better than ever. I am ready for the fight.

 

I know that this is a new weight class for me. I realize that Fonfara is very tough and bigger than me, dar sunt pregătit pentru provocare.

 

I have worked on my boxing during my one year off, and I am very excited and motivated to get back in the ring.

 

I have worked so hard for this fight because I am fighting in a new weight class. I must punch harder, so I have focused on getting stronger during this training camp.

 

I have a great chin, I know how to take punches and my conditioning is great. A lot of fighters can take a punch, but I can take multiple punches and not be hurt.

 

I think that Andrzej Fonfara is one of the best fighters in the light heavyweight division. Inside of boxing, everyone knows who Fonfara is. He knocked down one of the best boxers in the world in Adonis Stevenson.

 

Fonfara is disciplined in the ring, but he doesn’t vary his punches.

 

I understand that my dad didn’t want me to take this fight. I had bigger names I could’ve fought, but I think that Fonfara is a great challenge for me and I like the challenge.

 

I would like to thank SHOWTIME for making this fight happen.

 

Andrzej Fonfara, World Title Challenger

I’m prepared very well and I’m ready for this fight. It’s been a great camp like always. I train hard for each fight. I’m a tough boxer who is feeling great. The weight is good and everything is perfect.

 

I must put everything into Sâmbătă night and I will win the fight.

 

I must look even better than I did against Stevenson. Everyone said I looked good, but I lost the fight. I didn’t want congratulations because I did not win the fight. But this time I will win the fight. I’m ready for a decision or for a knockout.

 

I’m ready with a couple of plans. I don’t want to run around the ring, I want to fight tough. I’m going to use my jab and my right hand, which is my best punch.

 

I’m not worried about what his father said about not fighting me. Chavez Jr. wants to fight and I will show him that his father was right.

 

It doesn’t matter how I win, I want to win this fight and get my rematch with Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Chavez Jr. este un mare luptător. He uses a lot of combinations and has a powerful punch that I must be ready for. I want to show the whole world how good I am when I win this fight sâmbăta.

 

If I get the chance, Am de gând să-l bat. It’s boxing so you never know what will happen. I want to box round-by-round and win this fight.

 

I lost the fight with Stevenson but I showed that I was a good boxer. I’m a much smarter fighter now because of that experience. That was a fight at the top championship level.

 

It doesn’t matter what Chavez Jr. says at a press conference, we’ll be in the ring Sâmbătăand everything will happen there.

 

Fan’s can expect heavy punches, knockdowns and a great fight.

 

AMIR IUBIRE, Undefeated Super ușoare Contender

I’m confident going into this fight because of how I train. I have put my heart and soul into this sport since I moved to Florida three years ago. I left everything behind to better myself.

 

I’m going to stay smart and composed in there and do everything I can to get the win.

 

I don’t feel like I need the knockout to come away with a successful fight. Dar, you better believe that if there is an opportunity to knock him out, then I will take advantage of it.

 

“În 2015, Vreau să devin campion mondial. This is my breakout year. A lot of people have been buzzing about me. I want to become the WBC world champion, that’s what I’m heading for.

 

“Știu că e [Castel] a good opponent, he’s got a great resume, and he’s coming to fight. He has a great record, so that alone shows what he’s capable of. Ca Sâmbătă night may the better man win.

 

I’ve boxed styles like [lui] plenty of times, but you never know, he could come out different Sâmbătănoapte.

 

I’m ready to put on a great show for the SHOWTIME audience.

 

CASTILLO WALTER, Super ușoare Contender

I’m coming here to fight. I can tell you one thing, Amir Imam made a big mistake by taking this fight.

 

I’ve fought a lot of tough fighters; my two losses were by decisions where I feel I was robbed. I’ve fought better fighters than Amir has.

 

“Ca Sâmbătă, I’m going to announce to the whole world that Walter Castillo is here to stay and he’s going to be a world champion.

SR JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ.

Being in Los Angeles is like being in Mexico for me; I have had many great memories. I became the world champion for this first time here and my son also became the world champion for the first time here, prea.

 

Julio definitely has a very difficult fight ahead of him.

 

If I was Julio’s manager, I wouldn’t have taken this fight. Fonfara is a difficult and tough fighter.

 

My son wants to fight fighters of quality and wants credibility in boxing.

 

Julio has worked and trained very hard for this fight .He has the capability to win and we expect that it will go very well.

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez’ Antrenor

Julio has a window here the next five, șase, seven years that he can capitalize on.

 

I think he’s left the childish stuff behind, and we’re all guilty of being childish.

 

I think that Julio has surprised his father with his determination heading into this fight.

He’s got a left hook to the liver that just sends a shock through your body.

 

He’s not soft. He’s a real fighter. I have been around enough fighters to know that he’s a real fighter. Numărul unu, he has the never-say- die attitude in there.

 

We’re up against a very well-schooled, blue collar, workmanlike fighter in Fonfara.

 

He is an athletic, improvisational fighter, in that you don’t know where everything’s coming from.

 

I’ve watched a lot of Fonfara tape, and he pretty much repeats what he does, but he repeats it well.

 

This is going to be a battle. You’ve got two contrasting styles and personalities.

 

Julio has 51 fights under his belt. He’s no rookie and he comes from a great bloodline. (In the short time I’ve been with him, it has been) more of an association than a dictatorial effort between the two of us.

 

Based on former camps, he’s never really extracted himself from comfortable surroundings and put himself in a position where he is completely isolated like he was in Lake Tahoe.

 

SAM COLONNA, Fonfara’s Trainer

Fonfara could turn it up whenever. He could be down on the scorecards and one punch he throws could change someone’s world. He’s proven in the past that he has power in both hands.

 

The styles in this fight are perfect for each other. When people ask about the fight I say it could go either way, it depends on who catches the other first.

 

I’m looking for Fonfara to dominate, but Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is a warrior, he comes to fight, he knows how to go to the body like his father used to, so we’ve been working on all of these strategies.

 

A knockout win would be a dream come true to me. That’s what I’ve been looking for all these years. Winning this huge fight would change everything for Fonfara and myself.

 

This camp that Andrzej had was the best we’ve ever had. He worked hard, he had time to train and there’s no excuses.

 

We’re coming to fight a war. Don’t forget that wars are won by strategy.

 

People say to listen to your father. His father told him not to take this fight, but he took it anyway and that was a mistake.

 

I see this fight not going past 10 runde, with us getting the knockout.

 

STACY MCKINLEY, Trainer Imam lui

Amir has always trained very hard, but I did see a change in him in this training camp after the last fight. He has stepped up his training by two levels.

 

He learned a lot about his fight against [Fidel Maldonado] under the bright SHOWTIME lights at the MGM Grand.

 

Amir is always confident going into each fight, but he made a mistake in the Maldonado fight. He rolled his right hand and forgot about the left hand and was knocked down. He had to pay for his mistakes but it’s all a learning experience, he still has only 16 professional fights under his belt.

 

Castillo has a great jab and good combinations. A guy like that throws a lot of punches, but there is a technique to breaking down a fighter like that.

 

We can’t spend a lot of time on the ropes, and we must go after his body because his body is weak. Castillo is going to get knocked out sâmbăta.

 

I think that Amir is going to open up a lot of eyes sâmbăta.”

Ce Pacquiao, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum și Hall of Fame antrenor Freddie Roach a spusMiercuri:

 

Manny Pacquiao, Opt Divizia campion mondial

 

“Mă simt foarte incantati de lupta.

 

“Am o mulțime de parteneri de sparring care sunt similare cu stil de luptă Floyd, am făcut bine. Știm ce sa se astepte.

 

“Am privit banda pe Floyd să vă asigurați că strategia noastră și tehnică în cantonament este corectă.

 

“Întreaga mea cariera definește moștenirea mea; Am realizat deja marile realizări în cariera mea în timp ce exceland in diferite divizii de greutate. Această luptă este o realizare suplimentar în cariera mea; e cea mai mare lupta din istoria boxului.

 

“Pot spune că bate Floyd ar fi cea mai mare victorie din cariera mea.

 

“Mai multe persoane sunt interesate și în cunoștință de cauză cu privire la această luptă acum decât ar fi fost acum cinci ani.

 

“Stil înțelept, Sunt același luptător am fost acum cinci ani. Determinarea mea, inspirație și criminal instinct este exact aceeași ca a fost acum cinci sau șase ani.

 

“Pentru mine, box este pasiunea mea. Îmi place box și dând cinste țării mele din Filipine. Preocuparea mea este de a aduce o luptă interesantă pentru fanii mei. Prima mea preocupare a intra în fiecare lupta este cum va fi să se poată distra fanii mei, să le dea bucurie și a le face fericit.

 

“Motivul pentru care am atât de iubit de fani este din cauza stilului meu nesăbuit de luptă. Oameni ca lupte incitante cu pumni reale aruncate.”

 

BOB ARUM, Top Rank CEO

 

“Manny este motivată, el este gata de luptă. Mă aștept o mare performanță de la el.

 

“Este o lupta foarte interesant pentru că Floyd este un specialist defensivă care are o dreaptă bun și alege pe adversarii săi. E un luptător extraordinar de bun.

 

“Puterea Pacquiao este viteza, în special viteza piciorul și faptul că el aruncă atât de multe pumni și atacuri din unghiuri mici. Chiar lovește mai tare decât Floyd face, astfel încât într-adevăr ceea ce va fi cu privire la.

 

“Floyd are o apărare diferită de Juan Manuel Marquez. Apărarea lui este în primul rând rola lui umăr. O mulțime de apărarea este orientată împotriva unui luptător dreptaci. Cu care a spus, Cred că Manny va surprinde o mulțime de oameni cu modul în care el va fi capabil să ajungă la Floyd.

 

“Aș spune Manny este mai motivat pentru această luptă decât orice altă luptă L-am văzut pregăti pentru.

 

“Aștept cu nerăbdare să Mai 2. Îmi place șansele lui Manny de a câștiga, asta e cel mai important lucru. El arată foarte bine, el motivat, nu prostii, și cred că va pune pe un spectacol pentru vârstele. Va fi greu pentru el la început performanța împotriva Oscar De La Hoya, dar cred că va fi, în această luptă.”


FREDDIE ROACH, Sala Pacquiao a of Fame Trainer

 

“Avem o idee mare de când și în cazul în care vom ataca Mayweather.

 

“Această luptă a fost de cinci ani în efectuarea. Promotorii ar trebui să înțeleagă faptul că aceste tipuri de lupte sunt ceea ce cele mai bune pentru box și ar trebui să avem mai multe lupte de acest gen. Nu mă surprins de hype din jurul luptei.

 

“Manny a ridicat într-adevăr bara în acest cantonament. E un alt Manny Pacquiao decât l-am văzut a intra în tabere de antrenament anterioare. El este atât de perforare mult mai greu în formarea pentru această tabără.

 

“Manny este mai bine ca niciodata, atitudinea lui este diferit și n-am văzut de lucru acest greu. Viteza lui este mai rapid, pumni sale sunt mai greu. Sunt foarte fericit unde e. Picioarele lui arata foarte bine; e pe degetele de la picioare tot timpul.

 

“Mayweather este un bun contra-puncher, dar Manny are mâini mai rapide și combinațiile sale sunt mai bune decât lui Floyd.

 

“Ambele luptatori au o mare experienta, așa că nu cred că va fi un factor în lupta. Cel mai mare lucru este că fiecare luptător vine cu un stil diferit. Floyd este un contra-puncher, dar Manny trebuie să fie cel de a pune în aplicare lupta.

 

“Eu cred că Manny fi un stangaci va fi un factor în această luptă. Manny mi-a arătat banda de Floyd lupta într-un stangaci și mi-a spus că este exact ceea ce vom face în această luptă.

 

“Pot să spun cât de mult această luptă înseamnă a Manny că el a urmărit pe bandă Floyd. Manny nu a urmarit bandă pe orice luptator înainte.

 

“Deoarece Manny sa mutat la 147 el nu a batut multe tipi, astfel obtinerea de knock-out în această luptă nu este un motiv de îngrijorare pentru mine. Dacă Manny lupte la 140, atunci el nu bate tipi, dar la această greutate el se luptă tipi care sunt mai mari decât el.

 

“Floyd poate fi un tip mai mare, dar vom câștiga în continuare lupta.

 

“Această luptă este mult mai mare decât atunci când Manny luptat Oscar De La Hoya. Manny este o persoană diferită a intra în această luptă. El ma lovit atât de tare de altă zi în care eu cred că este cel mai greu Am fost lovit vreodată de un luptator care eu sunt de formare.

 

“Nu cred că Floyd dorit vreodată această luptă, el a fost nevoit să-l ia de către public și mass-media. Nu aș fi surprins dacă Floyd scos acum.”
