Koj hais Robert Guerrero, Keith Thurman, thiab Amir Khan yog cov neeg tawm tsam uas koj tab tom saib. Koj puas pom lawv ua pob zeb nce toj mus rau tej yam loj dua, los yog cov neeg hauv lub sib ntaus rau koj xav? It sounded like you might have been alluding to a different fight. Yuav ua li cas kuv xav mas yog hais tias koj pom cov neeg hais mav raws li nyob rau hauv koj txoj kev sib ntaus sib tua Mayweather?

Not necessarily. These are the guys that are in the top ten, that are in the top five. These are the guys that are supposed to be there after Floyd retires in September, cov no yog cov hais mav uas mus yuav supposedly khiav lub division, so these are the guys I’m looking at. I’m nowhere near close to fighting Mayweather, because I haven’t even gotten in the top ten yet. These are the guys thatI’m looking at that are in the top ten that are supposedly running the weight class after Floyd’s gone and retired.
Q
Kuv xav nug koj hais txog dab tsi koj paub ntawm koj tus nrog sib ntaus, Roberto Garcia? Koj puas xav, raws li ib tug pro, Garcia yuav tsum tau lub toughest fighter hais tias koj twb ntsib?
Thiab. Spence, Jr.
I see him as the most experienced fighter. It could be the toughest. It all depends. One of my tough fights was against Emmanuel Lartey. Nws yog 15-0, thiab kuv yog 8-0 thaum lub sij hawm. But I mean it could be. Nws yog tawv, nws yog tej, and he’s gritty. I know he’s going to come to fight, yog li no yuav tsum yog ib tug ntawm kuv toughest fights rau hnub tim.

Then after that he’d come from the gym, nws yog zoo li 5:00 los yog 6:00 p.m., thiab nws yuav so rau ib los yog ob teev thiab mus ncaj nraim mus ua hauj lwm. Thaum lub sij hawm, Kuv tsis xav tias txog nws, tab sis raws li kuv tau txais xyoo rov saud thiab ib tug me ntsis ntse, paub hais tias tag nrho cov sacrifices uas nws tau txi rau kuv yuav tsum tau mus thawv thiab mus rau tag nrho cov teb chaws tournaments thiab tag nrho cov tournaments tawm ntawm lub xeev thiab cov khoom. He had to pay for the hotel, them rau cov zaub mov thiab khoom xws li tias tawm ntawm lub hnab tshos. We didn’t have any sponsors and stuff like that.
Nws ua ib tug loj ib feem ntawm kuv boxing hauj lwm. He’s my supporter. That’s my mentor. That’s like my best friend. For Father’s Day, Kuv yuav tau nws ib tug yeej, thiab nws mus yuav ib tug impressive yeej hais tias nws mam li yuav zoo siab rau thiab nws mam li hlub. He played a big part in my career. Without him, Kuv paub tias kuv yuav tsis tau boxing.

L. Ellerbe
Nyob rau hauv lub ntsiab kev tshwm sim, peb muaj ib tug heev exciting sib ntaus. We have two gentlemen who are very familiar with each other. They both come out of the state of Ohio. They both have extensive amateur backgrounds. I think it’s going to be an excellent fight.
We have Shawn Porter. Zoo li kuv hais tias, nws tuaj rau peb los ntawm tawm ntawm Akron, Ohio. He’s now fighting out of Las Vegas. His most recent win was on Spike in March when he fought Eric Bone. He has fought a number of good fighters, including big wins over former world champions Devon Alexander and Paulie Malignaggi. He comes to us with a record of 25-1-1, nrog 16 Kos, tsis muaj lwm yam tshaj li qhov qub welterweight lub ntiaj teb champion, “Showtime” Shawn Porter.
Shawn Porter
Yuav ua li cas yog, txhua leej txhua tus? Thanks for having me on.
Ken Porter
Ua tsaug koj hais mav rau cov zoo cov kev taw qhia, Leonard. We really appreciate you guys having us on today. As far as our training camp, Shawn has been preparing for this fight and the previous fight and the previous fight before that ever since he turned professional. We never really go into a camp, per se. We just continue with what we were already doing. I have been blessed with an athlete who understands that this is his lifestyle, nws yog ib xyoo puag ncig, and he just works like that. So when it was time to turn up the heat a little bit, we were already ready to go. When it was time to bring down the weight a little bit, hais tias tsis yog ib qho teeb meem los sis.
He’s strong. He’s happy. He’s feeling really good. Today we did a little bit of track work. We headed to the gym, thiab ces peb tau nco qab hais tias peb muaj rooj sab laj no hu nrog koj hais mav, li ntawd nws yog kiag li tsis muaj teeb meem rau peb rov qab mus tsev thiab zaum rau ib tug me ntsis me ntsis thiab coj no hu vim hais tias tag nrho cov ntawm peb zog ua hauj lwm twb tau ua, tsis yog nyob rau hauv no sib ntaus los yog no camp, but in previous fights and previous camps that we’ve had before this. Everything is on point. Everything is exactly where we want it to be, thiab peb nyob nraum nrhiav rau pem hauv ntej mus rau ib tug zoo sib ntaus rau hnub Saturday tsaus ntuj tawm tsam ib tug zoo fighter.
Q
Yuav ua li cas koj ua li txawv nyob rau hauv qhov kev kawm no yeej rog los npaj koj tus kheej rau kev sib ntaus no thiab cov kev ceev ntawm Adrien Broner?
S. Hnav
Koj paub dab tsi, Kuv yuav qhia rau koj paub. Yog, nws txawj ntse thiab ceev ceev. Peb tsis tau ua ntau yam sib txawv los sim ua txhaum qhov ntawd lossis ib yam dab tsi. Qhov laj thawj yog vim peb paub tias kuv nrawm thiab nrawm npaum li nws. Tsis tau muaj ib qho kev tawm dag zog tshwj xeeb uas peb tau koom nrog qhov chaw pw hav zoov lossis ib yam dab tsi zoo li ntawd los ua ib yam dab tsi txawv los cuam tshuam nws qhov nrawm. Peb tsuas yog tsom ntsoov ntau ntxiv rau kuv qhov kev txawj ntse thiab cov txuj ci sib txawv uas yuav tsum tau txiav tawm thiab ua kom nrawm nrawm zoo li nws. Yog li ntawd, nws yog dab tsi peb twb tau ua, yog yuav hais rau ib tug ntau dua theem. Peb tsis saib nws qhov nrawm. Peb tsuas yog ua ntau yam peb yuav tsum tau ua los npaj rau nws, uas yog dab tsi peb twb yeej ib txwm ua.
K. Hnav
Cia li mus muab koj hais mav ib tug me ntsis info, Kuv xav hais tias Devon Alexander yog ib tug ntawm cov ceev tshaj plaws nyob rau hauv boxers boxing, lub sij hawm. Kuv paub tias Manny Pacquiao yog ib tus neeg ncaws pob ceev tshaj plaws hauv kev ntaus pob. I know that Andre Dirrell is one of the fastest boxers in this sport. Shawn has been able to compete against those type of guys in professional fights, nyob rau hauv zaug, in camps. We don’t have a problem with anyone’s speed. He’s just as fast as anybody that comes in the ring with him, li ntawd thaum koj tham txog ib tug txiv leej tub ceev, hais tias yog tsis ib yam dab tsi peb nyob nraum muaj kev txhawj xeeb nrog.
Qhov teeb meem uas hais tias txiv leej tub yuav muaj rau nrog yog peb ceev ceev, and we’ve got power to come along with that. Yog li ntawd, we’re prepared for that. Just like Shawn said, we just continue doing what we’ve already done. At this point in time, uas tsis yog ib tug txhawj xeeb rau tag nrho cov, yog li no peb npaj txhij rau cov uas.
Q
Koj puas tau nyob rau hauv txhua txoj kev npaj koj tus kheej rau tej zaum tus antics uas tuaj nyob rau hauv lub nplhaib nrog ib tug Adrien Broner?
S. Hnav
Koj paub dab tsi, I haven’t. I understand that could arise during the fight. My whole thing is this, thiab nws yog ib yam dab tsi uas kuv txiv yeej ib txwm nias raws li qhov kuv, is being professional at all times. Being professional means maintaining your composure and staying poised and sticking to the game plan no matter what. Yog li ntawd, tsis muaj teeb meem dab tsi nws yuav ua los yog hais thaum lub sij hawm sib ntaus, ntau tshaj tej zaum nws txhais tau tias kuv tabtom ua ib yam dab tsi muaj txoj cai, and I’ll just continue to do what I’m doing and what my corner’s asking me to do. Kuv tsis txhawj txog nws kiag li. Kuv yog kuv yog leej twg, thiab kuv tau hauj lwm ua.
K. Hnav
Shawn tabtom los khob Adrien lub taub hau tawm. Nws nyob hauv kev sib ntaus tiag, thiab qhov no yog kev sib ntaus loj. Kuv xav tias nws yuav yog kev sib ntaus sib tua lom zem heev. Lawv ob leeg muaj qhov sib txawv style. Ob leeg muaj qee lub zog uas lawv ua qee yam zoo heev. Nws yuav yog kev sib tw heev thiab kev sib ntaus sib tua.
Q
Koj yog Akron txiv neej. Broner yog ib tug txiv neej Cincinnati. Lawv hais tias nws yog kev sib ntaus sib tua ntawm Ohio, thiab peb yuav mus Las Vegas, ib qhov chaw zoo rau loj sib ntaus tag nrho cov sij hawm, ib tug zoo kawg li qhov chaw muaj fights, tab sis koj puas tau xav hais tias tej zaum koj hais mav yuav duking nws tawm nyob rau hauv Ohio daws bragging txoj cai rau lub xeev?
S. Hnav
Kuv yog ib tug northeast Ohio txiv leej tub, tsis yog Akron, tsis yog Cleveland xwb. Nws yog ib qho koob hmoov uas tuaj yeem sawv cev rau sab qaum teb sab hnub tuaj Ohio, thiab kuv tau ua qhov ntawd tau ntev heev nrog kev txaus siab. Kuv tau ua kom txhua tus zoo siab rov qab los tsev ntawm txoj kev. Dua, txhua yam kuv twb kawm, Kuv kawm los ntawm kuv txiv. Nws hais rau kuv ntev dhau los, nws hais tias yog tias koj xav txhim kho, Yog hais tias koj xav tau zoo dua thiab ua tej yam nyob rau theem siab tshaj plaws, koj twb tau txais rau koj tsiv nyob rau hauv thiab tej zaum tawm hauv tsev ib leeg thiab saib xyuas ntawm koj tus lag luam.
Nrog cov uas raug hais tias, Las Vegas yog Mecca ntawm boxing. Nws yog qhov peb txhua tus xav tau. Kuv tau koob hmoov txaus los tawm ntawm no ob xyoos dhau los, thiab qhov no yog qhov uas kuv ib txwm xav kom kuv txoj haujlwm mus. Kev sib ntaus sib tua ntawm qhov loj no tshwm sim qhov twg nws yuav tsum tshwm sim ntawm. Txoj cai bragging yuav tuaj tom qab kev sib ntaus.
Q
Yuav ua li cas nyuaj yog nws yuav mus yuav rau koj kom tau cia rau 144? Yuav ua li cas yog vim li cas koj hais mav ua kev sib ntaus sib tua rau ho nyob rau hauv lub welterweight txwv thaum neb ob leeg tau welterweight champions thiab tsis muaj teeb meem nrog 147?
S. Hnav
Kuv mam teb thawj nqe lus nug ua ntej. Txoj cai tam sim no, peb nyob nraum Cadillacing, thiab qhov kuv hais los ntawm qhov ntawd yog peb tab tom noj nws ib hnub ntawm ib lub sijhawm. Peb tsiv qeeb kom txhua tus tuaj yeem pom peb, thiab peb zoo siab ua nws. Nws los raws nraim li peb xav tau, thiab nws tau txais koob hmoov. Peb tau hu thiab hais tias peb raug nug 144 phaus los ntawm Adrien Broner. Qhov ntawd tsis yog peb qhov kev txiav txim siab. Sai li nws tau tshaj tawm rau kuv ntawm kuv txiv, Kuv hais rau nws, txawm peb yuav tsum ua li cas thiaj ua kev sib ntaus.
Kuv twv tias yog ib tug me ntsis cov me nyuam los ntawm Cincinnati uas yog ntshai ntawm sib ntaus sib tua nyob rau tom 147, txawm tias nws yog ib qho hnyav uas nws tau tawm tsam rau kev sib tw ntawm. Tlub kaus mom tsis nyob ntawm no lossis nyob ntawd. Qhov hnyav-hauv yog hnub Friday. Peb yuav nyob ntawd. Peb yuav nyob ntawm qhov hnyav, thiab peb yuav zoo siab tau txais ntawm qhov ntsuas no thiab saib nws hauv lub qhov muag ntawm qhov hnyav thiab qhia nws paub tias peb zoo siab. Txawm nws zoo npaum li cas nws xav tuaj yeem los ntawm qhov ntawd, nws tsis tau txais tej.
Lub zoo tshaj plaws txog nws yog kuv foom koob hmoov rau hais tias kuv muaj ib tug zoo lub cev, thiab qee qhov peb tuaj yeem tau txais kuv lub cev ua qhov nws yuav tsum ua. Nyob rau ntawm lub kawg ntawm lub hnub, txhua yam kuv ua tau yog muab rau Vajtswv. Hu tau zoo kawg li thiab, zoo li koj hais tias, Kuv tiv thaiv raws li high school raws li 165 nyob rau hauv lub amateurs thiab txawm 154 thaum tig pro, thiab tam sim no 147 rau plaub lossis tsib xyoos dhau los. Ua tau zoo heev, thiab yuav cia ib tug ntau tshaj ob peb phaus yuav tsis tau ib qho teeb meem.
K. Hnav
Kuv hu nws ntxiv los ntawm kev rho tawm. Raws li nws poob phaus, nws nce nws lub sijhawm rau kev sib ntaus loj. Yog li ntawd, peb tuaj ntawm 154 rau 147, thiab muaj loj sib ntaus muaj thiab loj sib ntaus npe muaj. Ntawm no yog peb twb tau hais los ntau tshaj ob peb phaus, and it just so happens he’s living this way year round so he didn’t have to go into some crazy I’ve got to get this weight off type thing. This morning, he was very light. He’s eaten twice this morning already. He’s feeling really good. We’re able to do this, and we’re confident that it’ll continue throughout the week to come off like it is. We’re looking forward to this big fight at a lighter weight. Yog li ntawd, that’s why I call it addition by subtraction. We get more out of coming down in a lower weight than we did being in the higher weight class.
Q
Shawn, neb ob leeg thiab Adrien tau nyob rau hauv ib co exciting fights, but you’re also both very good boxers also. What is your take on how this is going to play out?
S. Hnav
I think this fight’s going to go everywhere. You’ve seen me fight. Koj paub tias kuv xav hais txhua yam. Kuv xav dictate lub pace. Kuv xav ua tus thawj coj hauv lub nplhaib. Nrog cov uas raug hais tias, peb ntau yam, uas yog zoo, thiab peb tuaj yeem ua lub thawv los ntawm sab nraud. Tseem yuav muaj cov ntsiab lus uas peb saib mus rau hauv thiab tau txais lub cev tiag tiag. Peb tsuas yog mus ua si ib puag ncig ntawm ib lub sijhawm thiab peb yuav saib lub thawv thiab tseem saib punch thiab muab tso ua ke. Nov yog yam koj xav tau hauv kev sib ntaus loj, thaum koj tuaj yeem ua tau ntau yam thiab qhov kev sib ntaus no xav kom koj ua ntau yam. Peb saib kom muab tag nrho ua ke rau hnub Saturday tsaus ntuj-lub boxing, lub xuas nrig ntaus, lub siab, lub countering, tag nrho cov ntawm nws.
Q
Thaum koj saib Adrien Broner cov ntaub ntawv, koj saib nws muaj uas tsis mus Marcos Maidana. Puas muaj dab tsi koj tau kawm los ntawm kev sib ntaus nrog Maidana uas koj tuaj yeem thov rau koj tus kheej hauv koj qhov kev sib ntaus nrog Adrien?
S. Hnav
Yog. Peb tau saib ntau ntawm nws qhov kev sib ntaus, tsis yog lub phem, tab sis kuj qhov zoo.

Peb tau paub ntau lub lis piam tam sim no tias qhov hnyav tau cog lus yuav tsum yog 144. Ntawm no peb tab tom ua txhua yam uas peb yuav tsum tau ua raws li cov kws tshaj lij kom hnyav, muaj nyob rau ntawm taw tes, yuav 100%, thiab tus me nyuam tshis uas tau xaiv los ua kom daim ntawv cog lus, qhov nyhav 144, xav tsis los tham txog qhov kev cog lus hnyav, xav tsis los tham txog tej dej qab clause, xav kom tsis txhob muaj kev sib tham uas muaj hnyav txwv los yog dab tsi zoo li uas.

Cas. Kuv tsuas yog xav kom tshem tawm qhov teeb meem hnyav tag nrho. Nws zoo nkaus li tias muaj ntau rov qab thiab tawm ntawm qhov hnyav. Ob tus neeg tua rog tau pom zoo los tawm tsam qhov kev sib ntaus no hnub Saturday ntawm 144 phaus max. Kuv xav kom meej nrog qhov ntawd, 144 phaus max. Ob tus neeg tua rog pom zoo rau qhov ntawd. Cov kiv cua tos txog kev sib ntaus zoo, thiab kuv xav tias ob tus neeg sib ntaus sib tua yuav yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws los txog hnub Saturday tsaus ntuj. Ob tus neeg tua rog tau muaj qhov chaw pw hav zoov zoo heev thiab tau npaj los tawm tsam ntawm qhov hnyav, thiab ob tus neeg tua rog paub dab tsi los ntawm ib leeg. Lawv sib paub zoo heev. Lawv ob leeg muaj zog heev, thiab kuv xav hais tias nws yuav mus yuav ib tug heev exciting sib ntaus tuaj hnub Saturday tsaus ntuj.
Kuv heev impressed nrog Shawn Porter, nrog rau qhov nws muaj peev xwm ua tau raws li tus kws tshaj lij. Qhov kuv nyiam tshaj plaws txog Shawn yog nws txoj kev ntseeg siab. Raws li ib tug tub rog hluas, nws txaus siab nkag mus rau qhov ntawd nrog leej twg thiab cov no yog yam uas tsis tshua muaj txiaj ntsig thaum koj pom dab tsi nrog cov tub rog hluas. Coob leej ntau tus sib ntaus sib tham, tab sis lawv tsis kam nce qib. Zoo li kuv hais tias, ib qho ntawm qhov zoo tshaj plaws uas kuv tus kheej qhuas txog Shawn yog tias nws txaus siab mus nrog txhua tus. Nws tseem hu ua Floyd Mayweather. Nws txaus siab mus nrog Floyd, thiab qhov ntawd yog qhov kuv nyiam. Tus txiv neej txaus siab muab nws tso rau ntawm kab, pw nws nyob rau hauv txoj kab, ua li cas nws yuav siv sij hawm mus rau pub lawv tsev neeg thiab muab lub kiv cua lawv xav li cas.
Peb saib rau pem hauv ntej rau hnub Saturday tsaus ntuj, ib tug zoo sib ntaus rau lub kiv cua. Ua tsaug rau koj tag nrho rau tuning nyob rau hauv.
