Kelly Swanson
Salamat sa lahat para sa pagtawag sa. We have an exciting conference call today to talk about an unbelievable boxing weekend coming up in Las Vegas. We’re going to hear more about that from Leonard Ellerbe, CEO ng Mayweather Promosyon, na tatakbo ang tawag.
Una sa tawag namin pagpunta sa makipag-usap sa Errol Spence, Jr., at ang kanyang mga kalaban, Roberto Garcia, ay dapat rin na sumali sa tawag ngunit, sa kasamaang-palad, siya ay nagkaroon ng isang huling minuto medical appointment na siya ay upang makakuha ng in bago umalis siya para sa Las Vegas, kaya siya ay hindi maaaring sumali sa amin.
Ang iba pang mga batang ginoo ay isang tunay na manlalaban, and I’m certainly looking forward to seeing him fight. I’m going to go ahead and turn it over to Leonard Ellerbe, sino ang gumawa ng pagpapakilala at buksan ito.

He most recently dominated Samuel Vargas on the April 11 on PBC on NBC card. I’m very familiar with this young, exciting prospect. He’s a very talented fighter and he will be a force to be reckoned with for quite some time. He’s a future world champion. He’s coming to us at 16-0 may 13 Kos. Errol?
Errol Spence JR.
Hi, I’m glad to be here. It’s a big opportunity for me on a huge stage. I’m going to go in and do like I always do, put on a great show and a great performance and raise my stock. Sana, makalipas ang away, matapos na ito ng mahusay na pagganap, Ako ay ang pangunahing kaganapan sa NBC.
Q
Huwag mong parang ikaw ay lumipat sa paraang nais mo na ang paglipat? Faster? Slower? Where you’re supposed to be? Pagkatapos, kung paano sa lalong madaling panahon sa tingin ninyo, na kung maaari kang mag-ingat ng iyong kalaban, Roberto Garcia, ito katapusan ng linggo, na maaari mong makuha sa isang mas makabuluhang fight, marahil para sa isang pamagat sa ilang mga punto?
At. Spence JR.
I feel like I’m moving the way I want to move. I’m fighting when I want to and I’m fighting on the regular, so everything’s been consistent and how I want it to go. I’m stepping up the competition, and I’m fighting on the big stage that I wanted to fight on. After I get rid of Roberto Garcia, I think it will be another step up fight. Sana, Maaari ba akong makakuha ng isang mas name-kilala kalaban, sana ay isang dating mundo kampeon sa doon, at pagkatapos ay sa pamamagitan ng minsan maagang susunod na taon, Maaari ko labanan para sa isang pamagat.
Q
Ayon sa karamihan ng mga tao, ikaw ay ang pinaka-matalino manlalaban sa Estados Unidos Olympic Team in 2012 at ang mga tao sa mga pinaka-potensyal na bilang isang propesyonal na. Ay na isang libangan para sa iyo? Does it motivate you? Do you believe your clippings? How do you stay focused? Because it seems like you are a pretty focused guy, ang paraan na kayo ay pupunta tungkol sa iyong negosyo.
At. Spence JR.
Para sa isang bagay, matigas na nakatutok lamang ng isang bagay sa natural kong gawin, but I also want to live up to the hype and to the high standards that a lot of boxing writers and a lot of people have of me. I’ve just got to go out there and perform and look great, at gusto kong tumingin malaki, so I have to stay focused and work hard. That’s the only way that I’m going to get where I want to be and get to the top and get to fighting these name-known opponents. Ko na lang na manatiling nakatutok at manatili lamang nakatutok, at kukunin ko ay talagang fighting mas kilala kalaban, tulad ng Robert Guerrero o Keith Thurman o Amir Khan o isang tao na tulad ng.
Q
Ano pagkatapos ay tagumpay laban Garcia gawin sa mga tuntunin ng pagkuha sa iyo doon?
At. Spence JR.
Roberto Garcia, siya ay matigas, siya ay isang beterano, at sa tingin ko ako sa pagiging isang pag-asa at sa gilid ng pagiging isang kalaban, I had sa mukha ng isang tao na tulad ng, isang tao na may isang pulutong ng mga karanasan at isang talagang magandang record, so I can go into that contender level and contender status where I can start fighting more name-known guys. I think it’s just a process I have to go through so I can get to where I want to be. Roberto Garcia is a tough fighter. He’s not as known as the guys I would like to fight, ngunit ako ay may upang labanan sa kanya upang makakuha ng sa mga guys.
Q
Gamit ang paglitaw ng isang pulutong ng mga Eastern European mandirigma, na labanan para sa isang pamagat sa kanilang ikalawa o ikatlong propesyonal fight, pakiramdam mo presyon sa mga uri ng mga hakbang up ang iyong sariling mga proseso at kumuha tougher fights at bumuo ng isang maliit na piraso ng mas mabilis kaysa sa normal namin nakita Amerikanong mandirigma sa nakaraan?
At. Spence JR.
Huwag. I don’t necessarily feel pressured. Everybody has their own path that they have to take. What those guys did was great, at iyan ay katangi-tangi at tunay na nakakakilala ng, ngunit lahat ng tao ay may kanilang sariling mga landas, at lumalaki sa lahat ng tao na naiiba.
Q
Errol, since ay nagsimula PBC pagsasahimpapawid fights, sa 2015, ikaw ay nagkaroon, ang isa away sa Garcia-Peterson undercard, ngunit komersyal iyong manlalaban o sa iyong bio, na na nakakakuha ng maraming exposure. Maaari mong sabihin sa akin kung ano na ang nangyaring tulad ng upang makita ang iyong sarili sa TV at kung ano ang reaksyon ay upang exposure na?
At. Spence, JR.
It’s been great. Nasasabik akong. It shows that my hard work’s been paying off, and it shows how my manager believes in me. I’ve only been a pro fighter for three years and some change and I’m already being broadcast in with guys that have been pro eight, sampung taon, labing-isang taon, and I’m head-to-head with these guys. It just shows a lot of people believe in me and I’ve got a lot of people behind me who support me.
Q
Ikaw nabanggit Robert Guerrero, Keith Thurman, and Amir Khan as potential opponents that you’re looking at. Do you see them as stepping stones to something bigger, o mga fights na gusto mo? It sounded like you might have been alluding to a different fight. Ano ako ay nagtataka kung nakita mo ang mga guys tulad ng sa iyong paraan upang labanan Mayweather?
At. Spence JR.
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, ito ay ang mga guys na ay magiging parang ang pagpapatakbo ng dibisyon, 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
Gusto kong hilingin sa iyo tungkol sa kung ano ang alam mo ng iyong kalaban, Roberto Garcia? Huwag mong isaalang-alang, bilang isang pro, Garcia na maging ang toughest fighter na iyong mukha?
At. 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. Siya ay 15-0, at ako ay 8-0 sa oras. But I mean it could be. Siya ay matigas, siya ay nakaranas, and he’s gritty. I know he’s going to come to fight, kaya ito ay isa sa aking mga toughest fights sa petsa.
Q
Ngayon, you’ve gone back and forth in the last year or so between welterweight and super welterweight. Is there one of those weight classes you particularly want to focus upon?
At. Spence JR.
Ako naglalagi sa 147, and welterweight is my weight class. A lot of times I might fight at 148 o isang bagay tulad na, pero 147 ay ang weight class na ako ng labanan sa.
K. Swanson
Ayos, na iyong huling katanungan, Errol, but I have one for you that I’d like to add here. The weekend is Father’s Day weekend, at mula sa kung ano ang Nabasa ko ang tungkol sa inyo, ang iyong ama ay medyo nakatulong sa siguraduhin na mayroon kang isang boxing career. Ako ay nagtataka kung maaari mong ibahagi sa amin nang kaunti tungkol sa iyong relasyon sa iyong ama, gaano kahalaga siya ay sa pag-unlad ng iyong mga boxing kakayahan, at kung makikita niya na sa iyo ito ng linggo sa Las Vegas.
At. Spence JR.
Ang aking ama, he got me started in boxing. Siya ay isang driver ng trak, kaya siya ginamit upang drive ng magdamag, at pagkatapos ay makikita siya makakuha ng bahay 12:00 p.m. o mamaya pagkatapos dalhin ako sa gym. Pagkatapos matapos na gusto niya nanggaling mula sa gym, ito ay tulad ng 5:00 o 6:00 gabi, at siya ay pahinga para sa isa o dalawang oras at dumiretso sa trabaho. Sa panahon, Hindi ko talaga isipin ang tungkol dito, ngunit bilang Nakatanggap ako mas matanda at isang maliit na piraso wiser, realizing ang lahat ng mga sakripisyo na siya'y naghahain para sa akin upang ma-box at pumunta sa lahat ng mga pambansang torneo at ang lahat ng mga Torneo sa labas ng estado at bagay-bagay. Siya ay upang magbayad para sa mga hotel, magbayad para sa pagkain at bagay-bagay na tulad ng bulsa. Hindi namin ay may anumang sponsors at bagay-bagay na tulad ng.
Siya ay gumaganap ng isang malaking bahagi ng aking boxing career. Siya ang aking tagataguyod. Iyon ang aking guro. Iyan ay tulad ng aking matalik na kaibigan. Para sa Araw ng Ama, Ako pagpunta sa kumuha sa kanya sa isang manalo, at ito ay magiging isang kahanga-win na makikita niya ipagmalaki at makikita siya ng pag-ibig. Siya nilalaro ng isang malaking bahagi sa aking karera. Wala sa kanya, Alam ko hindi ako magiging boxing.
K. Swanson
Malaki. Thanks for sharing that. I know he was an important part of your story. Kaya, Leonard, that is it on the side for Errol. We appreciate you taking the time out of your training. Pinakamahusay ng luck sa iyo, at masaya naming inaabangan ang panahon na nanonood ka sa PBC sa NBC.
L. Ellerbe
The fans are going to be in for a great treat with this fight. Garcia comes with a lot of experience, and Errol is the new guy on the block. He’s making a name for himself. Big things are expected out of Errol, at makikita siya ay naghahanap na dumating sa pamamagitan sa Sabado ng gabi sa isang mahusay na pagganap.
At. Spence JR.
Salamat. I’d like to thank everybody for their questions and stuff and everybody tuning in and listening. Just make sure you tune in Saturday. I’m going to put on a great performance and a great show.
L. Ellerbe
Sa pangunahing kaganapan, kami ay may isang kapana-panabik na labanan. 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. Tulad ng sinabi ko, pupunta siya sa amin mula sa labas ng 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, may 16 Kos, walang iba kundi ang dating welterweight mundo kampeon, “Showtime” Shawn Porter.
Shawn Porter
Ano ba ang balita, lahat ng tao? Thanks for having me on.
Ken Porter
Salamat guys para sa kahanga-hangang pagpapakilala, 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, ito ay taon-ikot, 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, na ay hindi isang problema sa alinman.
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, at pagkatapos ay mapaalalahanan namin na kami ay nagkaroon na ito ng conference call sa inyo guys, kaya ito ay ganap na walang problema para sa amin upang bumalik sa bahay at umupo para sa isang maliit na piraso at kumuha ng mga tawag na ito dahil ang lahat ng aming hirap sa trabaho ay tapos na, hindi lamang sa away o this 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, at kami ay naghahanap ng pasulong sa isang mahusay na labanan sa Sabado ng gabi laban sa isang magaling na fighter.
Q
Ano ang ginawa mo naiiba sa kampo ng pagsasanay upang ihanda ang iyong sarili para sa labanan at ang bilis ng Adrien Broner?
S. Magsuot
Alam mo kung ano ang, I’ll let you know. Oo, he is skillful and fast. We haven’t really done much different to try to offset that or anything. The reason being is because we know that I’m just as fast and just as quick as he is. There haven’t been any special workouts that we’ve incorporated this camp or anything like that to do anything differently to offset his speed. We’ve just really focused more so on my skills and also the different techniques that are required to cut off and slow down a fast fighter like him. Kaya, ito ay kung ano ay ginagawa namin, lamang sa isang mas mataas na antas. We’re not overlooking his speed. We’ve just done more of what we need to do to prepare for it, na kung saan ay kung ano ang aming laging ginagawa.
K. Magsuot
Lamang upang mabigyan ka guys isang maliit na impormasyon, Sa tingin ko Devon Alexander ay isa sa pinakamabilis na boxers sa boxing, panahon. I know that Manny Pacquiao is one of the fastest boxers in boxing. 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, sa mga sesyon ng, 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, kaya kung makipag-usap sa iyo tungkol sa bilis ng isang guy, iyan ay hindi isang bagay na kami ay nag-aalala sa.
Ang problema na na guy ay may sa pakikitungo sa ay hindi namin mabilis, and we’ve got power to come along with that. Kaya, we’re prepared for that. Just like Shawn said, we just continue doing what we’ve already done. At this point in time, na ito ay hindi isang pag-aalala sa lahat, kaya kami ay handa na para sa.
Q
Nakarating ka sa anumang paraan handa ang iyong sarili para sa mga baka ang mga kalokohan na sumama sa singsing na may isang Adrien Broner?
S. Magsuot
Alam mo kung ano ang, I haven’t. I understand that could arise during the fight. My whole thing is this, at ito ay isang bagay na ang aking ama ay palaging pinindot sa akin, is being professional at all times. Being professional means maintaining your composure and staying poised and sticking to the game plan no matter what. Kaya, kahit na ano ang maaaring siya gawin o sabihin sa panahon ng labanan, higit sa malamang na nangangahulugan na ako ng paggawa ng isang bagay kanan, and I’ll just continue to do what I’m doing and what my corner’s asking me to do. I’m not worried about it at all. Ako sino ako, at ako makakuha ng trabaho tapos.
K. Magsuot
Shawn’s coming to knock Adrien’s head off. He’s in a real fight, and this is a big fight. I think it’s going to be a very entertaining fight. They both have contrasting styles. Both have certain strengths that they do certain things very well. It’s going to be a very competitive and exciting fight.
Q
You’re an Akron guy. Broner’s a Cincinnati guy. They’re saying it’s the battle of Ohio, at kami ay pagpunta sa Las Vegas, isang magandang lugar para sa mga malaking fights sa lahat ng oras, isang matinding lugar upang magkaroon ng fights, ngunit sa tingin mo marahil na ikaw guys ay duking ito sa Ohio na tumira sa mga karapatan ng hangin para sa estado?
S. Magsuot
Ako ay isang hilagang-silangan Ohio guy, hindi lamang Akron, not just Cleveland. It’s a blessing to be able to represent northeast Ohio, and I’ve done that for a very long time with pride. I’ve made everyone proud back home along the way. Muli, ang lahat ng bagay na natutunan ko, I learned from my dad. He told me a long time ago, sabi niya kung gusto mong mapabuti ang, kung nais mong makakuha ng mas mahusay at gawin ang mga bagay-bagay sa pinakamataas na antas, nakuha mo na ilipat sa at kung minsan ay umalis sa bahay nag-iisa at pag-aalaga ng iyong negosyo.
Gamit na sinasabi, Las Vegas is the Mecca of boxing. It’s where we all want to be. I’ve been blessed enough to move out here two years ago, and this is where I always wanted my career to go. A fight of this magnitude is happening where it’s supposed to happen at. The bragging rights will come after the fight.
Q
Paano mahirap ay ito pagpunta sa maging para sa iyo upang makakuha ng pababa sa 144? What was the reason that you guys made the fight for significantly under the welterweight limit when both of you guys have been welterweight champions and not had any issues with 147?
S. Magsuot
I’ll answer the first question first. Sa ngayon, kami ay Cadillacing, and what I mean by that is we’re taking it one day at a time. We’re moving slow so everybody can see us, and we’re feeling good doing it. It’s coming along exactly the way we wanted it to, and it’s been a blessing. We were called and told that we were asked to be 144 pounds by Adrien Broner. That was not our decision. As soon as it was announced to me from my dad, Sinabi ko sa kanya, anuman ang kailangan namin upang gawin upang gawin ang labanan.
Hulaan ko may isang maliit na bata mula sa Cincinnati sino ang natatakot sa labanan sa 147, even though that’s a weight that he’s even fought for a championship at. That’s neither here nor there. The weigh-in is Friday. We’ll be there. We’ll be on weight, and we’ll be excited to get on that scale and look him in the eyes at that weight and let him know that we’re feeling good. Whatever advantage he thought could come from that, siya ay hindi nakakakuha ng anumang mga.
Ang magandang bagay tungkol dito ay hindi ako pinagpala na ako ay may isang mahusay na katawan, and somehow we can get my body to do what it needs to do. Sa katapusan ng araw, all I can do is give it up to God. It’s been great along the way and, tulad ng sinabi mo, Nakipaglaban ako ng mataas na bilang 165 sa amateurs at kahit 154 upon i-pro, at ngayon 147 for the last about four or five years. It’s been great, at lapag ng ilang mga pounds ay hindi isang problema.
K. Magsuot
I call it addition by subtraction. As he loses weight, he increases his opportunity for big fights. Kaya, tayo nanggaling 154 sa 147, at may malaking fights doon at malaking pangalan fight doon. Narito kami ay hiniling upang bumaba ng ilang mga pounds, 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. Kaya, 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, kapwa mo at Adrien ay sa ilang mga kapanapanabik fights, but you’re also both very good boxers also. What is your take on how this is going to play out?
S. Magsuot
I think this fight’s going to go everywhere. You’ve seen me fight. You know that I want to dictate everything. I want to dictate the pace. I want to be the commander in the ring. Gamit na sinasabi, hindi namin nalalaman, kung saan ay malaki, and we can box from the outside. There will also be points where we look to move in and get really physical. We’re just going to play it one round at a time and we’ll look to box and also look to punch and put it all together. That’s what you want in a big fight, when you can do so many things and this fight requires you doing so many things. We look to put it all together on Saturday night-the boxing, ang pagsuntok, ang presyon, ang countering, ang lahat ng ito.
Q
Kapag tumingin ka sa record Adrien Broner ni, nakikita mo siya na pagkawala sa Marcos Maidana. Is there anything you’ve learned from that fight with Maidana that you can apply for yourself in your fight with Adrien?
S. Magsuot
Oo. We’ve taken a look at a number of his fights, hindi lamang ang masamang, but also the good. I’m steadily reminding myself not to underestimate him, hindi mag-isip na ako pagpunta sa darating sa doon at gawin ang lahat na Maidana ginawa sa kanya, and that’s it and I’ll get the win. We look to do so much more than what Maidana did, ngunit ang presyon na inilapat Maidana na ang buong away ay malaki at noon ay kung ano ang kailangan niya.
We will look to do some of that. I’ve also taken a look at his earlier fights when he looked really sharp and superb, just to remind myself of what he can do. There were lot of things he didn’t do against Maidana, but there were a lot of things he did do well against some of his other competitors earlier in his career. We look to do a lot of different things this fight. It’s going to take a lot to win this one, at kami ay handa para sa mga ito.
Q
Mayroon doon ay tiyak na mga bagay na iyong natutunan o nagbago sa iyong diskarte dahil ang inyong away nakaraang taon sa Kell Brook?
S. Magsuot
Yes and no. I think with that fight, ang mga bagay na binago namin at nagtrabaho sa higit na maging mas, pangunahin, mental at pagkatapos ay bilang dalawang, ang mga pangunahing kaalaman. Sasabihin kong, pangunahin, ang kaisipan dahil doon ay isang pulutong ng mga bagay-bagay na ay tinatanong sa akin sa sulok na hindi ako nag-incorporate sa panahon ng tugma. Sa katapusan ng araw, Maaari ko lamang tumingin sa aking sarili, and that’s the reason those things didn’t show up. We worked on a lot of mental preparation since that fight, ng kakayahang makinig hindi lamang sa mga sulok at ipatupad ang mga tagubilin sa panahon ng labanan at pagkatapos ay ang mga pangunahing kaalaman.
There were a lot of things I didn’t do in that fight. I got a little wild at points. Pagkatapos ng away, sa sandaling nakuha namin sa likod ng pagsasanay, Nagpunta kami sa likod ng lahat ng mga paraan upang ang mga pangunahing kaalaman tulad ng lagi naming gawin, ngunit kami maglagay ng isang maliit na karagdagang diin sa mental na aspeto na kasama ang mga pangunahing kaalaman.
Q
Labanan na ito ay magiging Sabado ng gabi, pangunahing kaganapan, prime time, sa NBC sa halos lahat ng bahay sa bansa, and it’s going to be televised internationally. Tell us about how that affects you, pagiging tulad sa isang marquis fight.
S. Magsuot
Alam mo kung ano ang, Ako pangako mo ito, this is something that I’ve always envisioned and I’ve always looked forward to. My fight with Julio Diaz, kapag ako ay unang nalaman na ito ay sa MGM Grand, I was really excited. Then I was told it was going to be in one of the conference rooms. The whole entire bubble didn’t bust, but a little bit of the air came out. I’ve just always marveled at the crowd, paano malakas makakakuha ito, mga ilaw, the whole nine. I love every part of the ambiance of a big MGM Grand fight. I’m taking it with a lot of excitement and obviously not over enthused, but I do understand the moment that I’m about to have. The great part about it is it’s a moment that I’ve always wanted, and I’m looking forward to it, kaya ko dalhin ito sa walang problema sa lahat.
Q
Mayroon bang anumang legit malaking poot sa pagitan mo at Adrien?
S. Magsuot
Alam mo kung ano ang, there was no animosity about the weight up until the press conference that we had last week. We had the press conference. We’ve known for weeks now that the contracted weight is supposed to be 144. Here we are doing everything that we need to do as professionals to be on weight, maging sa punto, maging 100%, at ang mga bata na pinili upang gawin ang kontrata, ang bigat 144, kagustuhan ay hindi na makipag-usap tungkol sa mga kinontrata ng timbang, kagustuhan ay hindi na makipag-usap tungkol sa anumang rehydration clause, nagnanais na maiwasan ang anumang pag-uusap na may kinalaman sa mga limitasyon ng timbang o anumang katulad na.
Ang higit pa at mas makipag-usap namin tungkol dito, the more and more the animosity starts to set in because I’m a professional doing what I do. I’ve done it at this high level for so long, at ang aking timbang klase ay 147 for so long. You want to move up into my weight, then move up. Don’t be scared. Don’t be worried. Don’t be afraid. Put your skill on the line along with your record. Put everything on the line. Put it all on the line at 147. Don’t put it at 144 at pagkatapos ay hindi mo nais na makipag-usap tungkol sa mga ito.
I’m not going to worry about it. We still maintain our professionalism and come into this fight and this weigh-in the way we’re supposed to. No personal animosity towards Adrien Broner. I know him, pero alam ko sa kanya mula sa malayo.
Gamit na sinasabi, palaging ito ay naging higit pa sa isang, “Hey, kung paano ang ginagawa?” uri ng isang relasyon, hindi isang “Halina't sa tonight club” uri ng relasyon at din, hindi isang “Bakit ka nakikipag-usap sa akin ka? Puwede ko labanan mo minsan,” relationship. Kaya, we’re cool. The night of the fight, kami ay magiging kaaway ng 12 round, or however many rounds it lasts. Pagkatapos nito, Ako ay magiging sino ako at maging propesyonal at hayaan ang mga boxing alagaan ang sarili.
Q
Ba ito timbang ng magandang pakiramdam, o gawin mo makita ang iyong sarili paglipat right-back up sa welterweight matapos na ito?
S. Magsuot
Malinaw na ginawa namin ang paglipat na ito para sa isang dahilan, and that was to fight the kid. Pagkatapos nito, I don’t think there’ll be any other reason for me to move any lower than 147. It’s not going to be a problem this fight, but it’s not something that I want to entertain in the future. I’m a 147-pound fighter, simple ng ganun. Anyone I fight will be a strong 147-pound fighter, not a blown-up 140-pound fighter and not a took-down 154-pounder. We look to fight everyone at their best, at ang aking pinakamahusay ay magiging 144 sa Sabado.
K. Swanson
Ayos. That actually was your last media question, ngunit ako pagpunta sa hilingin sa iyo ng isang katanungan sa aking sarili, something that I actually shared with Errol Spence too. It’s Father’s Day weekend for the big boxing weekend in Las Vegas. Sa tingin ko ang lahat ng tao sa boxing nakakaalam ng tungkol sa malapit, intimate relationship that the Porters have. I’d like, Shawn, para sa iyo na ibahagi sa amin kung ano ang kahulugan ng iyong ama sa iyo at kung ano ang ikaw ay pagpaplano para sa Araw ng Ama pagkatapos ng Sabado ng gabi.
S. Magsuot
Matapat, I’m happy that this fight has come at this time. My dad and I have worked extremely hard together for a very long time doing this sport. What better way to celebrate or wake up and just be proud of what we’ve done the night before, bilang isang pamilya, bilang isang team? Ako nasasabik tungkol sa pagkakaroon ng away na ito ay ang gabi bago ang Araw ng Ama, at Naghahanap ako inaabangan ang panahon na pagiging magagawang gumising at pumunta sa sa susunod na kuwarto at gisingin ang aking ama at namamangha lang sa kung ano ang aming nagawa, nang walang alinlangan, hindi lamang sa singsing ngunit kung ano ang mayroon kami ngayon bilang isang pamilya at bilang isang team.
Siya ay nangangahulugan na ang mundo sa akin, at siya alam na. I definitely know I mean the world to him. I’ve said this before, ang pag-ibig na mayroon tayo, na ibahagi namin, dalhin namin na sa ring sa bawat isa, and it’s unparalleled. You can’t match it. That means a lot. That makes a difference during the fight.
K. Swanson
Leonard, Gusto kong i-over ito sa iyo para sa huling komento.

Ayos. I just want to clear up this whole weight issue. It seems that there’s a lot of back and forth about the weight. Both fighters have agreed to fight this fight Saturday at 144 pounds max. I want to be clear with that, 144 pounds max. Both fighters agree upon that. The fans are expecting a great fight, and I think that both fighters will be at their best come Saturday night. Both fighters have had an excellent camp and have prepared to fight at the weight, and both fighters know what to expect from each other. They know each other very well. They both have great strengths, at sa tingin ko ito ay magiging isang napaka-kapanapanabik na labanan dumating Sabado ng gabi.
Ako'y sobrang impressed kay Shawn Porter, with what he’s been able to do as a professional. What I like the most about Shawn is his confidence. As a young veteran, he’s willing to get in there with anybody and those are the things that are a rare attribute when what you see with young fighters. A lot of fighters talk the talk, but they’re not willing to step up. Tulad ng sinabi ko, one of the most impressive things that I personally admire about Shawn is that he’s willing to get in there with anybody. He’s even called out Floyd Mayweather. He’s willing to get in there with Floyd, and that’s what I like. The guy’s willing to put it on the line, maglatag na ito sa linya, gawin kung ano ang kinakailangan upang feed sa kanilang mga pamilya at upang bigyan ang mga tagahanga kung ano ang nais nila.
Masaya naming inaabangan ang panahon na Sabado ng gabi, isang mahusay na labanan para sa mga tagahanga. Salamat sa iyo para sa lahat ng tuning in.
