Na kraju, to nije bilo dovoljno jer Gavril izgubila na dva od tri sudije’ scorecards.
“Ne mogu dočekati da opet u ring i to uzeti pojas,” Said Gavril. “Naučio sam njegov plan igre brzo tokom prve borbe, I to dobro blokiran onda, i ja planiram da opet isto. On ima brze ruke i moć, Neću uzeti to od njega, ali ja sam spreman za bilo plan dolazi u ring s. Znam da imaju sve što je potrebno da bi ovaj put pobediti. Priprema za ovu borbu po drugi put je bio drugačiji, Trening je bio intenzivniji, i moj tim me priprema da ga jednom i za sve. Ne mogu dozvoliti da pobedi. Neki ljudi su rekli sam osvojila u septembru, i bili su iznenađeni moj nastup. Mislio sam da je blizu, i mislio sam da je kucanje me je dao prednost za osvajanje. Sve što mogu učiniti je biti spreman. Ne mislim da bilo ko od nas neće poremetiti navijači na Fight Night. Želim da se zahvalim Floyd Mayweather i Leonarda za još jednu priliku protiv Benavidez.

See Pacquiao and Roach quotes below from today’s workout:
MANNY PACQUIAO: We have a really good plan for this fight. We worked hard in training camp both in Manila and in General Santos City. I’m totally focused for this fight. I am not looking past this fight because at this point in my career, every fight is the most important. There are no tomorrows if I don’t win today.
Jeff Horn is OK. I’ve watched video of his fights. He brings a lot of action into the ring.
I know what he is feeling. I remember everything about my first world title fight.
Being a senator and training for a fight is hard. It takes discipline and time management. Luckily, the Senate has been in recess for the past few weeks and I have been able to focus on training for my world title fight.
A Senator’s job is to defend his peopleto fight for their rights.
I know Jeff Horn used to be a teacher. U ring, I’m a teacher too.
I am ready for Jeff to come out and be aggressive. If he does that it will be a great fight for the fans.
The biggest crowd I ever fought in front of was at Cowboys Stadium against Joshua Clottey. I’m told this could be bigger [51,000+]. I am very excited for doing that, even though they may not be rooting for me. I am also very happy that ESPN will be televising it live.to u U.S. Now everyone can see it. It’s good for boxing.
FREDDIE ROACH: Manny is a performer. He loves people, loves a big audience. Brisbane has all that for this fight. He’ll be fighting in front of the biggest crowd of his career.
Not everyone gets the opportunity to fight for a world title. It was always my dream but I never fought for one. To je velika stvar. Jeff Horn earned this opportunity. He is the WBO’s mandatory challenger.
Manny gave me 110% in training camp. He always does. No one works harder in the gym. The difference in this camp from recent ones has been his aggression. He’s scored several knockdowns and I haven’t seen that in years. He has kept his foot on the pedal throughout, even when he’s had a sparring partner in trouble. After his ring work he is singing and dancingnot wellbut that’s not the point. He is really hungry to make a statement in this fight against Horn. He’s even playing Shakira during his workouts again and he hasn’t done that in years.
Subota night’s Super Channel telecast will also feature two-time Irish Olympian Michael Conlan (2-0, 2 KOs), from Belfast, in a six-round featherweight bout against Jarrett “Juarez” Owen (5-4-3, 2 KOs), of Brisbane.In the 12-round co-feature,International Boxing Federation (IBF) junior bantamweight world champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas (24-1-1, 16 KOs), of Cavite City, Filipini, will defend his title against top-rated contender Teiru Kinoshita (25-1-1, 8 KOs), of Kobe, Japan.
