Floyd Mayweather, 12-Temps Campió del Món

“He tingut una notable carrera. No canviaria res. Tots cometem errors. Vivim i aprenem però jo no canviaria res.

 

“El meu pare és un entrenador extraordinari, Virgil Hunter, així. Però quan s'arriba a això, tot es redueix als dos lluitadors en el ring.

 

“Andre Berto és un dur competidor, un ex campió del món. Cada vegada que va per aquí, el dóna 100 per cent.

 

“Vaig triar Berto perquè és molt emocionant. Andre Berto a empènyer a Floyd Mayweather al límit. Això és una cosa que sí que sé.

 

“Berto sempre dóna una baralla emocionant. Si ell és derrocat ell aconsegueix una còpia de seguretat. Sempre donen 100 per cent. Mans ràpides, bon boxejador.

 

“Jo sé el que es necessita quan es tracta d'una baralla d'aquesta magnitud, perquè he estat lluitant per pay-per-view per més 10 any. Berto és un tipus molt dur, té gana i que no va a anar a dormir.

 

“Setembre 12º is my last dance. Al setembre 13 I just want to sit back and watch some football. Vull veure els meus fills rebin la millor educació. I vull passar cada dia amb els meus fills. Aquests són els millors dies de la meva vida.

 

“La diferència entre Andre Berto i Pacquiao és que vostès [als mitjans] posar bombo darrere de Pacquiao. La meva feina consistia a anar-hi i ser Floyd Mayweather i ser un jugador d'escacs i això és el que vaig fer. He trobat una manera de guanyar.

 

“Nombre 49, això és tot. He tingut una tremenda cursa. Sóc major, més savi i la meva salut és més important que qualsevol altra cosa. Setembre 12 és la meva última baralla. Tots 48 baralles van jugar una clau, però el nombre 48 va ser el més important.

 

“Aquest somni Tot va començar amb només dues persones. Jo i el meu pare. Només nosaltres dos.

 

“Quan ens fixem en les dues divisions barallo en, hi ha un home que està sol. Vaig mirar a la divisió i vaig demanar que sempre està en una baralla emocionant dura, que té mans ràpides i que sempre ho dóna 100 per cent, era Andre Berto

 

“Aquest és un tipus que no puc passar per alt. Està dedicat a l'esport de la mateixa manera que jo i que em va a empènyer.”

 

ALTRES BERTO, Dos-Time welter Mundial

 

“És un temps en arribar. Ara som aquí. Qualsevol que em coneix ha vist grans coses, però al mateix temps he vist que em vagi a través d'alguns assajos reals. El que ve amb això és un munt de treball dur i la perseverança.

 

“Fa dos anys jo era al llit de l'hospital sotmetre a una cirurgia a l'espatlla i no saber si podria tornar que. Al final de la dia va ser una benedicció. Vam estar enfocats i ara estem aquí.

 

“Sé que vaig a entrar-hi ràpid i fort. Estic 152 lliura a hores d'ara. Al final del dia vostè va a veure a uns nens que ha tingut els seus alts. O qui ha tingut les seves caigudes. I ara estem de tornada a fer que passi.

 

“Aquesta és una lluita que vaig sentir Floyd encara volia fer que passi. Ell ve de la baralla de Pacquiao, per descomptat que és fàcil per a la gent que em resten importància. No puc preocupar-me per això i no estic preocupat per això.

 

“Alguna vegada has vist una baralla avorrida Andre Berto? Al final del dia, treballem el nostre cul, He estat treballant durant molt de temps. Ara, la collita està arribant. Nosaltres sembrem les llavors i el moment és ara.

 

“Porto aquesta rara combinació de velocitat, potència i explosivitat a la taula. L'última persona que va comprar amb aquesta combinació va ser Zab Judah. Jo sóc més jove, Tinc gana; Sóc fort i ràpid. Estic concentrat en el que aconseguiré.

 

“Em vaig sentir com si em vaig passar pel que jo vaig passar per una raó. El meu temps és ara. No hi ha millor dia que l'actual. Floyd no és un estrany per a mi. Ja estem profundament en el campament. Vostè definitivament no volen perdre aquest.”

 

ROMÀ MARTINEZ, OMB júnior campió mundial lleuger

 

“Estic molt feliç de ser part d'aquest gran espectacle. M'estic preparant molt bé per aquesta baralla. Tot el que va veure la primera baralla sap que això era una guerra i això serà el mateix. Estic en molt bona forma i estic a punt per mantenir el cinturó.

 

“Necessito treballar al cos més en aquesta lluita i veure si puc acabar a principis d'aquest temps.

 

“Estic en molt bona forma per aquesta baralla i he estat treballant per fer els ajustos per obtenir el knock out, però si hem d'anar a la distància, estarem llestos.

 

“Sento la revenja és una baralla molt emocionant per a la televisió, els fans generosos estimen.

 

“Tot el que va veure la primera baralla sap que era una guerra i això serà el mateix. Per a mi, em dóna l'oportunitat de no deixar cap dubte en la ment de ningú que jo sóc el campió.

 

“Sortit pot dir el que diu, Espero que estigui en bones condicions perquè sóc. Al final, el millor home guanyarà aquesta baralla i que em va a ser.”

 

ORLANDO SORTIT, Quatre vegades campió del món

 

“Ara sé seves debilitats, Vaig a atacar des del primer moment, Jo sé què fer per la victòria.

 

“He de reenfocar mental i físicament, Jo no faré molt diferent que no sigui per obtenir la victòria en aquesta ocasió

 

“Definitivament vaig a recuperar aquest títol per a Mèxic. Jo no ho sento. Ho sé.

 

“Estic molt content que estem lluitant en un territori neutral per a la nostra revenja, no a Puerto Rico de nou. Jo estava molt preparat per a la primera baralla, però l'àrbitre no em deixava barallar meva baralla. Semblava que l'àrbitre estava parlant a mi el tot 12 rondes. Jo estava tractant de centrar-se només en el meu oponent, però no vaig poder.

 

“Estic molt emocionat per aquesta baralla. Aquest és un mes molt especial per a Mèxic i, en particular, pel fet que, Jo vaig a aconseguir aquesta victòria.

 

“Sempre hi ha una rivalitat molt especial entre Mèxic i Puerto Rico i sento que, és per això que tan malament vull guanyar aquest títol per a Mèxic.”

JACK Badou, CMB pes súper campió mundial de pes mitjà

 

“He estat en el camp durant uns dos mesos. Ha estat un molt bon camp d'entrenament i vull ara mateix per lluitar. Encara tenim un mes per anar i estem preparats.

 

“Sempre he estat fort mentalment però em fa una mica de confiança extra de tenir aquest cinturó verd. Vostè encara ha de mantenir-se humil i seguir treballant dur.

 

“Groves és un molt bon boxejador. Definitivament crec que serà una baralla emocionant. Sé que ha de venir a aconseguir el que és meu i ell ve a barallar.

 

“Ell va lluitar al Regne Unit davant d'un munt de gent, però és una etapa diferent a Las Vegas.

 

“Crec que sóc el millor lluitador en general. Ell va a tractar de noquejar i vaig a tractar de noquearlo. Serà una gran baralla. Definitivament vaig pel nocaut.

 

“És un somni fet realitat per a ser part d'un esdeveniment tan gran en el MGM Grand de l'última baralla de Floyd, és una benedicció.

 

“No és diferent per a mi ser l'esdeveniment principal oa la cartellera. Hi haurà més gent veient la meva lluita, que és genial.

 

“Només he d'escoltar al meu cantó, ser intel·ligent i ser jo mateix. Si faig això vaig a caminar d'allà amb el meu cinturó intacta.”

 

George Groves, Top 168 lliures Contender

 

“Tot en el camp d'entrenament ha estat perfecte. Estem ajustant a la diferència de temps i l'altitud, que té un parell de dies, però tot va molt bé. Estem abans del previst.

 

“Hem estat entrenant durant tot l'any per aquesta baralla així que em sento molt bé. No puc esperar a arribar-hi i començar a perforar.

 

“Crec que sé més que suficient sobre Jack. Ho he vist caixa real contra Anthony Dirrell i jo ho he estudiat a la cinta. Hi ha molt que agrada d'ell. M'agrada el fet que ell ha vingut a la U.S. i ha fet una llar aquí, hi ha valentia en què. Ell està aferrat a un camp d'èxit, però en última instància, vostè ha de parar-se en els seus propis peus en el ring.

 

“Crec que sóc millor que ell en la majoria dels aspectes. Si surto i realitzo és un treball d'una nit fàcil per a mi.

 

“És agradable estar en una cartellera perquè jo he tractat amb la pressió de l'esdeveniment principal. És agradable per poder gaudir de la lluita. És una baralla massiva, però l'únic que ha de preocupar-se que la lluita contra la. És una gran oportunitat per a mi.

 

“La floridura és més mental que una altra. Només s'escolta una xerrada de combat sobre anell d'òxid després d'una baralla perquè és una excusa. Som a la realització de gimnàs, espàrrings estan aconseguint una pallissa i no hi ha excusa per no tenir-lo en una baralla real.

 

“Estic content de ser aquí als Estats Units. La tercera vegada d'anar pel títol tindrà sort. Hem preparat diligentment. Estem preparats per a l'acció.

 

“He vist Badou de prop i personal i fins al moment, no podem trobar res que em causarà un problema. Tenim la intenció de portar el cinturó de tornada al Regne Unit.

 

“Tindrà la comoditat d'estar a casa i amb els seus companys estables, però que tot va lluny quan pas en el ring i un noi està tractant de portar al seu cap.

 

“Des que tenia set anys he somiat amb convertir-se en un campió del món. He tingut alts i baixos en la boxa però és tot vinc al punt de partida.

 

“Tenim a nosaltres mateixos en un gran lloc en el camp d'entrenament i jo, literalment, no podem esperar a arribar-hi.”

 

Van ser SMITH, L'ex campió del món de pes súper welter

 

“Vaig demanar les baralles més difícils i els reptes més difícils. Només vull lluitar amb els millors. No importa el que la gent pensa o el que la gent diu de mi, armem bones baralles.

Hem tingut tres campions en Mayweather Promotions pel que estem fent alguna cosa bé.

 

“Vanes Martirosyan és un bon boxejador, No tinc més que respecte per ell. Estem armant el treball necessari al gimnàs per tenir èxit.

 

“Aquesta baralla probablement podria haver estat un esdeveniment principal en algun lloc, però estic feliç de ser part de la història i el final de Floyd. Estic amb ganes d'una gran nit de boxa.”

 

Vanes Martirosyan, 2004 U.S. Olímpic i 154 lliures Contender

 

“Aquesta és una gran baralla per a mi. La meva última baralla que va deixar en els jutges’ mans i se'n va anar al revés.

 

“Setembre 12 No deixaré als jutges en el meu camí. Vaig pel nocaut i vas a veure els millors Vanes que mai hagis vist.”

 

VIRGILIO HUNTER, Entrenador de Berto

 

“Estic content de ser part d'aquest esdeveniment històric. És aquests moments que reflexionar sobre el que aquests joves passen per. He vist a alguns dels grans lluitadors que van venir abans que nosaltres. Quan veig a algunes de les actituds negatives sobre aquest esdeveniment, que és de les persones que no saben el que aquests combatents travessen al gimnàs.

 

“Se'ns diu que mai va renunciar i mai et rendeixis. Ser 48-0 No és una feina fàcil. Particularment quan es torni a dia i els obstacles i turons que cal pujar. Aquest és l'esperit d'aquest esport. Crec que un cop Floyd Mayweather s'ha anat, sentirem la presència que aquest home tenia en l'esport. Vaig ser testimoni del mateix amb Muhammad Ali.

 

“Andre Berto ha superat molt en la seva vida i m'alegro d'haver fet seu conegut. Ell personifica el que un lluitador és. Ell ha vençut i s'ha guanyat aquesta oportunitat basa fora que.

 

“Quan ens fixem en aquest paquet en aquesta divisió welter només n'hi ha una que es destaca, tots els altres estan en aquest paquet.

 

“Tenim la intenció de donar a aquest el millor treball que anem a donar-li. Crec que el mateix campió respecta que. Venim a guanyar, però hem de respectar el que ha fet per l'esport.

 

“Estic content de ser part d'aquest. És una gran emoció per a mi estar en el costat oposat de llegendes i estem anticipant tot resultant just per a nosaltres en la nit de la baralla.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

 

“Benvinguts a tots al que serà l'última puntada de Floyd Mayweather fora de la roda de premsa del seu increïble carrera. Estem molt contents d'estar treballant junts per portar una altra targeta PPV apilats als fanàtics de la boxa per SHOWTIME PPV.

 

“Tenim una gran alineació amb tres campionats mundials baralles.

 

“Les entrades sortiran a la venda demà a 10 am P.T. / 13:00 E.T. Els preus van des $1,500, $1,000, $750, $500, $300, $150.

 

“Un cop més Floyd estarà posant el seu títol del CMB i títol de l'AMB en la línia. Ell s'enfrontarà a Andre Berto, que es busca esborrar la 0 de registre de Floyd al setembre 12.

 

“'Rocky’ Martínez vs. Orlando Sortit serà una revenja de la baralla del candidat Any d'abril. Sabem que hi haurà una guerra.

 

“Aquests són els tipus de desafiaments que Floyd ha de empènyer el camí que ha de ser empès. Andre Berto és un noi que ens anàvem a lluitar fa anys. Ell és un campió del món dues vegades. Sabem que va a portar. Ell va a donar-li el seu millor. Al setembre 12 anem a veure si és prou bo.

 

“Amb la històrica cursa que Floyd Mayweather ha tingut, realment estem presenciant la història. És millor prendre un bon cop d'ull al, perquè la cosa és que ha aconseguit en aquest esport, que mai veurem de nou.

 

“Sempre vam saber que Floyd seria aquí, Fa molts anys. Quan un home porta a terme aquest tipus de coses, tot el que fa és històric. Quan mires al teu voltant el paisatge, aquest senyor aquí és per això que el joc ha estat canviat.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Vicepresident Executiu & Gerent General de SHOWTIME Sports

 

“La boxa és un esport dur. És un esport difícil de cobrir, és un esport dur per fer negocis a i és un esport dur per guanyar-se la vida en. Quan trobis algú que ha estat participant en l'esport com un professional per 19 any, no només participar sinó practicar l'esport a un nivell d'elit, un que poques vegades s'ha vist, això és una cosa especial.

 

“Dues dècades al cim d'aquest esport, però ja saps el que és més impressionant? És l'ètica de treball. Gairebé 20 anys d'una ètica de treball que no té parangó en l'esport de la boxa. Mai en la seva 19 anys té Floyd va aparèixer menys de 100 cent preparat, 19 anys de disciplina infrangible. Quan va arribar al nivell superior, l'ètica de treball no va canviar. Aquest serà el llegat de Floyd en aquest esport, és una cosa que probablement mai veure una altra vegada a la vida.

 

“Tot arriba a la seva fi setembre 12, que és la nostra última oportunitat de gaudir de la seva increïble habilitat.

 

“Andre Berto té una oportunitat de fer història a si mateix. Si ho fa, res més importa. Berto serà coneguda com el tipus que finalment va derrotar a Floyd Mayweather.

 

“Una cosa que sabem sobre Andre Berto, ell mai li faltava per a l'acció. Només hi ha una manera que sap com lluitar i això és magnificència agressiva.

 

“He vist el que Andre es pot fer en el ring, He vist barallar ronda rere ronda. Els peleadores com Andre Berto sempre seran benvinguts, perquè ningú combat més dur que Andre Berto.”

 

MAURICIO Sulaiman, El president del CMB

 

“Estic molt content de representar una vegada més al meu pare i per veure el CMB de nou en un gran esdeveniment. Setembre 12 és una festa nacional mexicana i Floyd ha pres una i representat a Mèxic tan bé. Andre Berto és un ex campió del CMB que segur portarà un gran desafiament a Floyd Mayweather.”

LAS VEGAS (Agost. 4, 2015) – Pel que s'espera que sigui la lluita final de la seva il·lustre carrera de 19 anys, superestrella de la boxa i la lliura-per-lliura rei Floyd “Diners” Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs) posarà el seu rècord invicte i Campionat Mundial de pes welter del CMB i l'AMB en la línia contra el poder de cop, el dues vegades campió mundial de pes welter Andre Berto (30-3, 23 KOs) Dissabte, Set. 12 al MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, viure SHOWTIME PPV (8 p.m. I/5 p.m. PT).

 

Sortint de la Mayweather vs. Esdeveniment Pacquiao, en la qual Mayweather es va mantenir invicte en prendre una victòria per decisió unànime, Mayweather posarà a prova a si mateix contra un lluitador contundent fam per la seva oportunitat d'anotar un tomb històric. Mayweather també podria fer història. Si triomfal, que igualaria el rècord del mort campió de pes pesat Rocky Marcià, que es va retirar a l'abril 1956 amb un registre de 49-0. Igualant el rècord de Marcià, un dels més sagrat de tots els esports, reafirmaria l'estatus de llegenda de Mayweather en l'esport i donar suport a l'afirmació de Mayweather com “El Millor de Tots.”

 

Dues baralles de campionat mundial estel·lars també s'inclouran en la transmissió per televisió de pagament per visió.

“Estic a punt per tornar a l'anell en Setembre 12 i demostrar una vegada més a tothom per això que estic 'El millor de tots,'” dir Mayweather. “Jo sempre porto el meu millor joc i aquesta lluita contra Andre Berto no és una excepció. Ell és un jove, lluitador fort que té gana per acabar amb la millor. Quaranta-vuit han intentat abans i en Setembre 12, Vaig a fer-ho 49.”

 

I’m coming to kick Floyd’s ass on Setembre 12,” dir Berto. “Millor creure que tinc la intenció de portar-lo a Floyd i no estic preocupat pel que 48 other fighters have been unable to do. Somebody is getting knocked out and it won’t be me. You don’t want to miss this.

 

“'Diners’ Mayweather està de tornada i tot l'equip de Promocions Mayweather està llest per construir fora de la increïble rècord-breaking Maig 2 esdeveniment,” va dir el CEO de Mayweather Promocions Leonard Ellerbe. “És un plaer per portar aquesta gran baralla, a més de la increïble cartellera d'acció, als aficionats a Las Vegas al MGM Grand. Andre Berto is a powerful fighter who presents a real danger to Floyd. He will have to use all of his skills to slow Berto down.

 

“Vull donar les gràcies a Showtime per aquesta oportunitat de lluitar en aquest gran esdeveniment,” va dir Martínez. “Estem preparats i treballant dur per assegurar-se que aquest títol es queda a Puerto Rico. Tothom va veure la primera baralla davant Orlando Salido i sé que aquesta segona baralla també serà una guerra. Un cop més tenim la rivalitat entre Puerto Rico i Mèxic, que garanteix un munt d'acció. L'entrenament va molt bé i estem 100 cent segur que en Setembre 12 it will be another great victory to Puerto Rico.

 

“Estic emocionat per la revenja amb Rocky Martínez,” said Salido. “La primera baralla a Puerto Rico no va ser la meva manera. Em va tenir un començament lent i va haver de lluitar 2 baralles – un contra l'àrbitre i un en contra Rocky Martínez. En Setembre 12, I am going to take matters into my own hands and look to knock out Rocky to get my world title belt back. Mexico and Puerto Rico have had a great rivalry over the years and this September you will see me bring the belt home to Mexico where it belongs.

 

“Estic molt emocionat i m'estic preparant per la baralla més dura de la meva carrera contra George Groves,” va dir Jack. “Sempre vaig en una baralla amb una mentalitat de perdedor, fins i tot com a campió. Se sent molt bé estar defensant a la meva ciutat adoptiva de Las Vegas. El meu promotor, Floyd Mayweather, ha tingut la meva esquena durant els alts i baixos de la meva carrera i vull fer ell i tot l'equip de Promocions Mayweather orgullosos de Setembre 12.”

 

“He tingut la sort d'experimentar algunes de les majors sensacions de l'esport pot donar,” aquests Groves. “He desafiat pel títol mundial i he venut estadis, però el meu veritable somni de la infància de guanyar un títol mundial encara no s'ha complert. Tinc aquesta oportunitat a l'Strip de Las Vegas – la crème de la crème per a qualsevol boxejador del planeta. No puc esperar per aconseguir la meva meta i convertir-se en campió del món. Badou Jack no és 'Bad’ suficient per aturar el meu somni. El seu cinturó del CMB és tot el que està en la meva ment tots i cada moment de vigília. Hem estudiat Jack – estem preparats per a les seves fortaleses i llest per exposar les seves debilitats. Vegas és la meva segona casa i no puc esperar a tornar amb una explosió.”

 

“Quan Showtime Networks i Floyd Mayweather es van unir per primera vegada en 2013, va ser cridat a un acord sense precedents – i això és exactament el que ha estat,” va dir Stephen Espinoza, Vicepresident Executiu i Gerent General, SHOWTIME Sports®. “A través de cinc baralles del terme de sis baralles, els resultats han superat les nostres expectatives més grans. Floyd has never hesitated to take on the best of the best in his division. In Andre Berto, Floyd has chosen an opponent who always comes to fight and always entertains. Berto’s power and athleticism make him a legitimate threat against any opponent, i en contra de Floyd, esperem Berto sigui tan agressiva com sempre. We’re also assembling an action-packed undercard, destacat per una revenja d'una de les millors baralles del 2015, Rocky Martínez vs. Orlando Salido.”

 

“Estem encantats amb l'oportunitat d'acollir el que s'espera que sigui lluita final de Floyd en la seva il·lustre carrera,” va dir Richard Sturm, president d'entreteniment i esports per MGM Resorts International. “Floyd és un gran campió i esperem poder ser testimoni d'aquest esdeveniment històric contra Andre Berto al MGM Grand.”

 

Un dels peleadores més condecorats en la història de l'esport, Mayweather, de Grand Rapids, Mich., lluitant fora de Las Vegas, és un campió del món 12 vegades en cinc divisions de pes. Amb la seva velocitat de marques, destresa defensiva i generalat anell, Mayweather ha derrotat 22 campions del món.

 

A més dels seus èxits en el ring, Forbes, Fortuna i Sports Illustrated han cridat Mayweather-atleta més ben pagat diverses vegades del món. Els seus esdeveniments acumular números de rècord; he has headlined four of the six highest-grossing pay-per-view events of all time and holds the all-time record in gross pay-per-view receipts.

Considerat durant molt temps com un possible enemic per Mayweather, Berto, 31, de Winter Haven, Fla. és un ex boxejador amateur i 2004 Olympian per a Haití. Un veterà de vuit baralles de títol mundial, tots a la 147 lliura, guanyar el títol welter del CMB Mundial al juny 2008 i fer cinc defenses reeixides del títol en els pròxims dos anys i mig abans de perdre el títol a l'abril 2011.

El Berto mentalitat ofensiva sempre fa per les sobres sensacionals – la seva 2012 baralla amb Robert “El Sant” Guerreroera una candidata a baralla de l'any. En la seva sortida més recent, ell va anotar dues caigudes en el camí a un nocaut tècnic en el sisè assalt sobreJosesito López últim Març 13.

 

Per l'estil, s'espera que el 5-peus-7 Berto a adoptar un enfocament agressiu amb una sortida de cop alt, similar a l'estratègia emprada per Marc “El Xinès” Maidana en la seva primera baralla contra Mayweather. Si Mayweather no pot mostrar la seva velocitat i defensa de marques, Berto podria usar el seu poder i de la mà de velocitat per fer Mayweather incòmode i forçar-en una baralla.

 

Martínez, 32, of Baix Segura, Port Ric, farà la primera defensa en la seva tercera temporada com junior de l'OMB campió mundial lleuger.

Anunciat com “La Guerra,” la baralla va poder haver excedit la seva facturació ja que tots dos lluitadors gasten una enorme quantitat d'energia al llarg de 36 acta. Utilitzant els seus avantatges en alçada i profunditat, Martínez va enviar Sortit a la lona en el tercer i el cinquè i va guanyar amb les puntuacions 116-109, 115-110 i 114-111. Salido was docked a point in the 11º ronda per un cop baix, però mai deixar de lluitar i hi havia en ella fins al final.

Resistent i determinada amb un estil senzill que fa que per als assumptes agraden al públic, Martínez va capturar el títol de la OMB la primera vegada al març 2009 i va defensar amb èxit dues vegades.

Sortit, 34, de Sonora, Mèxic, és un boxejador-colpejador pur i dur implacable que està disposat a assumir qualsevol persona i no és aliè a la rivalitat de la boxa que és Mèxic vs. Port Ric.

El 5 peus i 6 Sortit va capturar l'OMB júnior lleuger Campionat Mundial interí en la seva sortida abans de passada en un anada i tornada 11º-vuitens de final sobre Tailàndia de Terdsak Kokietgym al setembre 1, 2014.

Un ex boxejador amateur Europea – Ell és l'únic boxejador mai per representar Gàmbia en qualsevol dels Jocs Olímpics (2008) – el 6-peus-1 Jack es va convertir en professional al juny 2009 i va guanyar la seva inicial 16 baralles abans de patir una derrota per nocaut en el primer round impactant Derek Edwards al febrer 2014.

Floyd Mayweather

“Ell és [Manny Pacquiao] is a hell of a fighter. Li trec el barret. Now I see why he’s one of the guys that are at the pinnacle of the sport of boxing.

 

I knew he was going to push it and win some rounds. He had some moments in the fight, but I kept him on the outside, I was a smart fighter. I wasn’t getting hit with a lot of shots until I sat in the pocket, that’s when he would land a lot of shots.

 

“Vam fer el que havíem de fer aquesta nit and I’m truly blessed.

 

I’m a calculated fighter, és un competidor dur.

 

I have to take it off to my dad, without him I wouldn’t be where I’m at.

 

He’s a very awkward fighter, so I had to take my time and watch him close.

 

“Tots 47 fights before I got to this fight played a major key in my career.

 

Manny Pacquiao is a true champion and we both did our best aquesta nit.

 

When the history books are written, this fight will have been worth the wait.

 

I have one more fight. My last fight is in September and then it’s time for me to hang it up. I’m almost 40 anys ara. I’ve been in the sport 19 years and have been a champion for 18 any, I’m truly truly blessed.

 

 

Manny Pacquiao

“Va ser una bona baralla; Vaig pensar que vaig guanyar la lluita.

 

He didn’t do anything. He was always moving outside.

 

I got him many times, I saw his punches.

 

He was moving around too much, it wasn’t easy throwing punches at him. If he would’ve stayed in one place then I could’ve thrown punches.

 

I was cutting him and countering. I wanted to fight.

 

I was able to handle his power; he’s not strong like previous opponents like [Antonio] Margarito.

 

I thought I was up in the fight, so that’s why I didn’t attack harder in the 11º i 12º rondes.

 

He’s not bigger than me, it’s not about the size. The size doesn’t matter. I’ve fought guys bigger than him and had no problem.

LEO SANTA CREU

I’m more than excited to be on this undercard. This is the biggest card I could have been on. I want to show the whole world who I am.

 

I prepared very hard for this fight, like I always do. It’s going to be a historic night and I’m happy to be a part of that history.

 

I know that everybody is here for Mayweather and Pacquiao but there will still be millions seeing me fight and I want to show them who Leo Santa Cruz is so that I can get a lot more fans.

 

“”I’m still young and there are many more fights to come. The fights the fans want, we’re going to give it to them. I know those fights are going to happen.

 

I want to look spectacular and I want to get Cayetano out of there really fast. Sometimes these kind of fighters are the ones who give you the hardest fights because they come hungrier and have nothing to lose.

 

Seeing my family here and having them in the arena on fight night is a huge motivation for me. I feel happier and more relaxed and I’m ready.

 

I never underestimate a fighter. Any fighter in the ring is dangerous. I hope that Cayetano is ready so that we can give the fans a great show.

 

JOSE CAYETANO
I know that Leo Santa Cruz is a strong, difficult fighter but he also has weaknesses and that is what we prepared for, to give him a surprise.

I’m a man that takes challenges and I’ve been preparing very hard, I’m always prepared for these types of fights. I’m very prepared and I feel very strongly that I will win.

I came here for the opportunity to beat Leo Santa Cruz and for the opportunity to participate in such a grand event that is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.

I’m very happy and very grateful and very excited to get into the ring. It’s a huge commitment, the entire world will be watching me but that is why I accepted the fight, I know that if I beat him, bigger and better opportunities will come my way.

I’m not nervous because it’s not the first time that I’ve faced a tough opponent. I’ve never faced a world champion but I’ve faced opponents that throw hard punches, so I’m not nervous, I’m excited.

 

VASYL LOMACHENKO

This is an opportunity to show everyone what I’m capable of doing and for millions of viewers to see that I can do it.

 

The best fighters get the best opportunities in the ring, there are a lot of great fighters getting those opportunities including myself.

 

It’s always a good feeling when people are saying good things about you.

 

I’m very excited to be involved in a bout such as this one, Maig 2 will be a big show shown around the world. I’m very happy to be in the opening bout for this huge fight.

 

GAMALIER RODRIGUEZ
I’m looking forward to this big fight en dissabte. It’s a blessing to participate in this type of press conference and come Dissabte, Vaig a guanyar! I’m sure of it. I will be champion.

All of the attention toward Vasyl Lomachenko gives me motivation. I’ve been a fighter and a boxer since I was young and it’s added motivation to come out on top this weekend.

 

I know that Lomachenko is a good and technical fighter but it doesn’t compare to my hunger and drive to be world champion.

I wanted to take the opportunity during my speech at the press conference to let everyone know that I can here to fight. It’s going to be a hard fought battle and I’m very confident that I’ll win and become the champion this Saturday.

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

I am so excited to be here today to discuss the great undercard which will be the lead-in to our long awaited, history making event taking place this Saturday night.

 

The lead-in fight for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao will be a very exciting fight featuring Leo Santa Cruz and Jose Cayetano.

 

Leo Santa Cruz is one of the classiest gentleman in the sport. He’s a very fan-friendly fighter and a Mexican warrior. He represents Mexico very well.

 

BOB ARUM, Saló de la Fama del promotor, Top Rank

I know that every fighter deems it a tremendous honor to be part of this great event. We hope and believe that we will be presenting to the public through Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank, the best of boxing and the best fighters.

 

Vasyl Lomachenko is considered to be the greatest amateur fighter of all time. Ara, he looks for the same type of success he had as an amateur in the professional ranks. But this will be a very competitive fight, because Gamalier Rodriguez is a Puerto Rican who comes to fight and believes that he can upset Vasyl.

 

A lot of the young men up here believe they are the next big thing in boxing, and many will be. But I know that Vasyl Lomachenko will be a big superstar in the sport of boxing.

Floyd Mayweather

“The only thing I can do is take it one day at a time. When the fight gets here I will go out there and do what I do best and that’s go out and fight.

 

“From the beginning of my career, I’ve always had a game plan. It’s just like chess. We make calculated moves in the ring and outside the ring. I got with the right team and surrounded myself with the right chess pieces.

 

“I’m a lot wiser than I once was. This fight sells itself. Our ultimate goal was to get to this point, whether it was Manny or another fighter.

 

“I don’t take anything away from Manny Pacquiao. He’s a solid fighter; a solid competitor and it will be an intriguing matchup come Saturday.

 

“Everything takes time, it’s all about timing. I’m glad that we had patience and didn’t rush. The time is now, this is the right time for this fight.

 

“I want to thank all the writers for being here. Some have been around since I was 10-years-old, some have been here for my 19 years in this sport. I’m thankful for all the writers, whether the stories were good stories or bad, you guys kept me relevant for 19 any.

 

“This fight is about one fighter who is at the top fighting another fighter who is at the top. It’s about giving you guys excitement. We don’t know how this fight is going to play out, but I believe in my skills. I believe I am going to be victorious.

 

“When I went to training camp I worked extremely hard to win this fight and I’m pretty sure Manny did the same. That’s why this is an intriguing matchup.”

“My love and eagerness for this fight has made me especially interested.

“I would like to invite everyone to witness the great fight between Floyd and I this Saturday.

“I want to be an example and inspiration to people.

“Before I became a boxer, I used to sleep on the street. I can’t believe that I am in this position. The boy who didn’t have food and slept on the street can have this life.

“On Saturday our goal is to make the fans happy with our performance. Both of us will work very hard to entertain the fans and give a good fight.

“I hope that both Floyd and I do our best on Saturday and to put our name in boxing history.

“The most important thing I hope for is that after the fight I can talk with Floyd about being an inspiration to people all around the world.”

Floyd Mayweather SR., Pare de Mayweather & Entrenador

 

“Whatever happens on Saturday, it’s going to be one-sided. Pacquiao is going to sleep.

 

“I’m a trainer, I know what’s going on with fighters. Pacquiao doesn’t have it.

 

“Everybody can say what they want to say. I’ve said it before, Pacquiao can’t punch. I’m not worried about it. I’m going to have Floyd walk him down.”

 

FREDDIE ROACH, Entrenador de Pacquiao

“When this fight was announced, Manny’s training level went way up. He’s really excited about this fight.

 

“I think we will win a decision and outpoint this guy. If the knockout comes then that will be a bonus.

“I think Manny likes to be the underdog. We like pulling upsets and doing things we’re not supposed to do. Manny is going to be that guy.

“We will put a lot of pressure on Floyd. Manny likes to exchange and with his hand speed, this fight will go in our favor.

“Manny is reckless, but that’s his style. He tries to win fights and people enjoy his fights. He gives it his all and sometimes you get knocked out, that’s part of boxing.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

 

“The worldwide attention and interest in this event has been unbelievable and Floyd and Manny deserve it.

 

“Las Vegas has a rich history of hosting the biggest and best fights in the sport. Over the years Floyd Mayweather has made the MGM his home. This will be his 11º consecutive fight at MGM Grand and the 14º in his career.

 

“There are two great fighters that will be fighting on Saturday night and the focus needs to be on the fighters, no one else. The focus is on the fighters on Saturday night.

 

“On May 2, Floyd faces another huge challenge in fellow world champion Manny Pacquiao, in a fight that the whole world is waiting to see. Once again Floyd is out to prove that he is The Best Ever and I know he will on Saturday night.”

 

BOB ARUM, Saló de la Fama del promotor, Top Rank

 

“This is a great promotion with two great fighters. I hope that this fight will help elevate the rest of boxing. I think based on the interest in this fight, there has been increased interest in boxing as well, and that’s great.

 

“People have spent a lot of time during this event watching Manny train, but more importantly, watching Freddie teach. It’s great to see two guys on the same wavelength, working on the strategy and then working it out in the ring.”

 

KEN Hershman, President, HBO Sports

 

“The journey to this fight has been a remarkable one. In addition to the great writing and reporting that all the media has been doing, HBO has been putting on terrific programs for fight fans to enjoy and bring them closer to the sport.

 

“One important note for everyone, please order the pay-per-view Saturday night early, or if possible today or tomorrow. We expect that the ordering systems will be overwhelmed.

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Vicepresident Executiu i Gerent General, SHOWTIME Sports

 

“This event is about two world-class athletes, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, who have been working for weeks and weeks, all of their lives really, to get to this precise moment.

 

“These two fighters have worked their entire lives to get to this moment.

 

“Floyd and Manny have great teams. Floyd will be the first one to tell you that his team deserves a lot of the credit for his success and I’ve heard Manny say very similar things.

 

“What makes this event so special and so historic, is that we have two once-in-a-generation athletes who will be meeting in the ring in about 72 hores. We are so proud to have been given the opportunity to be a part of such a highly anticipated event.”

 

RICHARD TEMPESTA, President d'Entreteniment & Esports de MGM Resorts International

 

“It is an honor for the MGM Resorts to house this highly anticipated event. Sports fans around the world will have the unique opportunity to watch two of boxing’s top champions, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, as they go toe-to-toe at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

 

“Excitement for this event has resonated throughout our MGM Resorts properties and the entire Las Vegas community.

Find Tony on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TornadoTP

FINALMENT!!!! After six years of arguing, negotiating, finger-pointing, and the real possibility that it would never happen, the long-awaited superfight between Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. and Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is finally about to happen. There is a possibility of grossing upwards of $300 million between them, easily the richest event in sports history. Mayweather is set to make $180 milió. He would earn $15 million per round, $5 million per minute, & $83,333.33 per second. Pacquaio would make $120 million and would earn $10 million per round, $3,333,333.33 per minute, & $55,555.56 per second. Las Vegas is a gambling town, and after years of bluffing, raising the ante, and calling each other out, both fighters have put all their chips in. Their legacies are on the table. Ara, it’s time to see who is really holding the Aces when they step in the ring.

ESTIL

Mayweather:

A pure boxer with great speed who does everything well with an arsenal that includes a snapping jab, accurate right hand and a left hook that can be doubled and tripled with tremendous effect. Uses feint moves to freeze opponents and open punching lanes. Tucks his chin well behind his shoulder to roll with punches. Even on the ropes, he is a difficult target to land a solid punch on. He doesn’t have great punching power. Most of his stoppage victories come from outpunching and outclassing his opponents but rarely scoring clean knockouts.

 

Pacquiao:

Pacquiao boxes from a southpaw stance, moving forward and bobbing and feinting his way in. Once in close, he uses his right hand to find the range and then unleashes his powerful left, either straight or looping, and he will often double and triple it to the body and head. Uses quick head shifts to slip punches while moving forward. Has soundly developed under the tutelage of Freddie Roach, developing a decent right hook, either as a lead punch or thrown behind the left. Uses quick head shifts to slip punches while moving forward. Is no longer the feared finisher he once was earlier in his career.

 

FORTALESES

Mayweather:

* Experience – Boxing is in Mayweather’s blood, and he’s been involved in the sport since his childhood. Completed an extensive amateur career by winning the bronze medal in the ’96 Olympic Games. He has been competing successfully on a championship level for the past 17 any, facing and defeating fighters with a variety of styles.

 

* Conditioning – Mayweather is a fitness freak with an amazing work ethic when it comes to training. Few fighters push themselves as much as Mayweather does in the gym, even doing midnight training sessions. It is evident in the ring when his stamina carries him in the late rounds.

 

* Ring Generalship – Mayweather knows every inch of the ring and how to control a fight. He knows when to attack, when to box, when to turn up the heat, and when to coast. Mayweather owns the ring when he is in there. Even the rare times when he has been stunned in fights, he was able to quickly settle down and quell the threat.

 

 

Pacquiao:

* Unorthodox Style – Pacquiao is very unorthodox, even for a southpaw. He moves straight in but is hard to time with his bobbing and head feints. Before most opponents can time his onrushes, he is throwing whirlwind punches from a variety of angles.

 

* Speed – Pacquiao is fleet of foot and the owner of very fast hands, especially for a boxer with such considerable power. He quickly moves into position and fires rapid one-two combinations. He’s expanded his arsenal to include blinding combinations of hooks, uppercuts, and double or triple left hands.

 

* Stamina – Pacquiao is always in tremendous shape and fights just as hard in the last round as he does in the first. He applies a ton of pressure and is constantly punching, wearing opponents down in the process.

 

DEBILITATS

Mayweather:

* Aging – Mayweather may have an unblemished record, but Father Time has never been defeated. Mayweather has been more flat-footed in recent bouts. His first encounter with Marcos Maidana was a rough and tumble affair where Mayweather looked very ordinary. The rematch was more definitive but unimpressive.

 

* Distractions – Maweather loves to be in the public eye and never shies away from controversy. Most notably are his public disputes and reconciliations with his father and trainer, Floyd Mayweather, Senior. The most recent camp turbulence came in the form of a training camp dispute between Floyd Sr. and Alex Ariza, working as the strength and conditioning coach. A non-harmonious training camp could lead to unnecessary distractions.

 

* Punching Power – Most of Mayweather’s stoppage wins came from an accumulation of punches. The usual result is the referee or opposing corner stopping the bout to prevent further punishment. Notwithstanding his controversial and explosive knockout of Victor Ortiz, it is rare to see Mayweather finish a bout with one punch, dating all the way back to his days as a 130-pounder.

 

 

Pacquiao:

* Killer Instinct – Pacquiao was once regarded as a ruthless buzzsaw, cutting through opponents until they succumbed. He has since lost that edge, failing to win a fight by stoppage since 2009. More of a concern is that on several occasions he eased up on outclassed opponents, allowing them to survive the last few rounds.

 

* Trouble with Counterpunchers – Pacquiao is an aggressive, offense-first fighter who will freely throw punches, but he can be timed and is often open to be hit with counters. Juan Manuel Marquez gave him fits with movement and counter punches, even scoring a spectacular knockout over Pacquiao with a perfectly-timed counter right hand.

 

* Edat – Pacquiao is no longer the phenomenon he was in his 20s. He is now in his mid-30s. As he has physically aged, he has also taken on a super human schedule with political aspirations in his home country, numerous personal appearances, and several difficult bouts.

 

 

COMBAT ANTERIOR

Mayweather:

(09-13-14) Mayweather neutralized and outboxed Marcos Maidana in a rematch from their closer-than-expected bout from four months prior. While the action was sparse, it was a case of Mayweather using his superior skills and intelligence to thwart his aggressive but limited opponent.

 

Pacquiao:

(11-20-14) Pacquiao won a dominating unanimous decision over the game but vastly inexperienced Chris Algieri. Pacquiao was in control from the start and scored a total of six knockdowns, somehow failing to score the knockout some experts thought he needed to be in position for the Mayweather fight to happen.

 

THREE BEST PERFORMANCES

 

Mayweather:

* Diego Corrales (1/20/01) – Experts were torn on who to pick in this one with many leaning towards Corrales to win by KO. Mayweather never let him in the bout, knocking him down five times before the referee halted the bout in the 10th round.

 

* Arturo Gatti (6/25/05) – Although Mayweather was a solid betting favorite, many expected Gatti to make things rough for Mayweather. It never happened, as Mayweather floored Gatti in the first round and dealt out a severe beating before Gatti’s corner stopped the bout after six one-sided rounds.

 

* Ricky Hatton (12/8/07) – Hatton was undefeated coming into the bout and set a gameplan of constant pressure to wear out Mayweather. After a few uncomfortable rounds, Mayweather was able to find his range and take over, flooring Hatton twice in the 10th round and forcing a stoppage.

 

Pacquiao:

* Oscar De la Hoya (12/06/08) – It’s hard to imagine now, but the consensus at the time was that De la Hoya would destroy the smaller Pacquiao in a landslide. It was a landslide, but it was Pacquiao dishing out the beating, ripping De la Hoya apart with both hands. After eight one-sided and brutal rounds, a swollen and bloodied De la Hoya was beaten into permanent retirement.

* Miguel Cotto (11/14/09) – Pacquiao impressively dismantled the larger and physically imposing Cotto. Pacquiao dropped the Puerto Rican superstar twice early. From the 6th round on, Pacquiao had Cotto in a defensive shell, battering him until the referee stopped the bout in the 12th round.

* Ricky Hatton (05/02/09) – Pacquio ran through Hatton in fast and destructive fashion. Hatton–while still an underdogwas expected to provide a challenge with his strength and mauling tactics. Pacquiao unveiled an improved right hook and had Hatton down twice in the first round before crushing him with a devastating knockout in the second.

CLAUS PER LA VICTÒRIA

 

Mayweather:

* Get Pacquiao’s respect early, timing his rushes, and hitting him with straight right hands.

 

* Use clinches to smother Pacquiao and thwart any offensive momentum.

 

* Do not try to trade punches with Pacquiao.

 

 

 

Pacquiao:

* Use feints to get Mayweather to make the first move.

 

* Don’t aim strictly at Mayweather’s head. Focus on the body, arms, and torso?

 

* Do not let Mayweather control the tempo.

 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 

* Can the fight live up to the hype? Unless this turns out to be Hagler-Hearns, Gatti-Ward, and Ali-Frazier all rolled up into one, it will be nearly impossible to live up to the hype that has surrounded this match-up for over six years. The hype might be inflated and overbearing, but it can still be entertaining.

 

* Is the fight happening too late? Both fighters are in their late 30s. While these two phenoms are still elite competitors, they are past their primes. Even so, instances of fighters past their primes matching up perfectly and turning in an epic encounter have occurred on several occasions.

 

* Who has the most to lose? Mayweather without a doubt has the most to lose. Pacquiao is an icon in his home country, so no matter what happens, he will remain a beloved figure. Mayweather is boasting about himself as “The Best Ever” and relishes his undefeated record. He even said recently that he’s better than Muhammad Ali was. A loss obliterates the “0” on Mayweather’s record and will provide more fodder for the argument that he is not even the best of his generation.

 

* How will their styles match up? It figures to be a classic boxer vs puncher match-up. Mayweather is a consummate strategist. He is a master of figuring out his opponents, frustrating them, and setting up counter punches. Pacquiao will press the action, try to overwhelm, breaking through Mayweather’s defense with a high volume of punches. It will be a clash of Quantity against Quality. Pacquiao will throw more punches, more punches than anybody has ever thrown against Mayweather. Mayweather will throw less but land at a higher connect rate, with sharp counter punches.

 

* What are the chances of a Knockout? Pacquiao is known as the better puncher, but he has failed to score a stoppage victory since battering Miguel Cotto in 2009. Mayweather has scored only one stoppage victory since 2007 against the weak-chinned Victor Ortiz. The two most likely scenarios for a knockout win would either be Pacquiao becoming reckless and leaving himself open to Mayweather’s straight right hand or Mayweather suddenly becoming an old fighter and wilting under Pacquiao’s relentless pressure. Likely, this fight will go to the scorecards.

 

 

* Will the officials factor into the conclusion? Kenny Bayless has been assigned as the referee and is regarded as one of the best in boxing. He has worked as the referee in six previous Pacquiao fights and four previous Mayweather bouts. The only backlash he received from those ten total bouts was the Mayweather-Maidana rematch where he was criticized for breaking up the inside clinches too quickly, seemingly favoring Mayweather against the mauling style of Maidana. With Mayweather naturally bigger than Pacquiao, breaking up clinches quickly (especially if Pacquiao has any momentum) would serve more as a disadvantage to Mayweather. The judges are Burt Clements, Dave Moretti, both veteran officials in Las Vegas, and Glenn Feldman, based out of Connecticut. Moretti has worked nine Mayweather bouts and six Pacquiao bouts. Clements has worked three Mayweather bouts and one Pacquiao bout. Feldman has only worked one Mayweather bout early in his career.

 

* What happens next? If the fight turns out to be entertaining, close, or controversial, a rematch is possible depending on the outcome.

If Mayweather wins, ell és 48-0 and can walk away from Pacquiao and seek a different challenge for his final fight. He could even seek a possible move up to grab a title at middleweight and another superfight with the next big sensation Gennady Golovkin.

If Pacquiao wins, a rematch is almost a given, especially with so much money on the table.

A draw would also most likely force a rematch for the final fight of Mayweather’s career sometime in September.

 

PENECALE PREDICCIÓ

The anticipation as the fighters make their way to the ring will be electric. The growing crescendo of excitement will continue through the introductions with Mayweather sporting a confident smirk and Pacquaio fixated with an icy glare.

 

The waiting will be over when the bell rings and both fighters come out to the center of the ring. Mayweather will be moving to his left, rolling his hands and probing with a soft jab. Pacquiao will be like a coiled spring, bouncing back and forth and feinting with his jab. Pacquiao will throw a few wild left hands that Mayweather backs away from, his back hitting the ropes as he slides away to his right. The round will end without anything conclusive landing for either fighter, making it difficult to score.

 

Pacquiao will look to increase the pace in the second round and outwork Mayweather. While Mayweather is the center of the ring, he will dictate the pace and the action, keeping Pacquiao limited to throwing one punch at a time. When Pacquiao is able to cut the ring off and back Mayweather to the ropes, he will unleash combinations. The flurries for the most part won’t land, but the work rate will stir the crowd into a frenzy.

 

Pacquaio will continue the high volume of punches through the 3rd i 4º rounds until Mayweather lands a right hand while their feet are tangled, causing Pacquiao to sprawl to the canvas. He will protest while Bayless administers the count, but he will not be hurt. Mayweather will smile and move in, throwing a few right hands, truly seeing if Pacquiao is stunned. Pacquiao will respond with his own vicious left hand, bringing the crowd to their feet as the bell rings.

 

Mayweather will again box cautiously starting the 5º ronda, staying on the outside and pivoting away when Pacquiao gets close. The fight will resemble a cat and mouse affair with Pacquiao trying to corner Mayweather and Mayweather trying to bait him into making a mistake. Pacquiao will be the aggressor, throwing far more punches. Mayweather will be timing him with single counter punches throughout the 6º i 7º rondes.

 

A sharp left hand by Pacquiao in the 8º round will startle Mayweather and cause blood to leak from his nose. Pacquiao will try to press the advantage and unleash another torrent of punches. Mayweather will pull away against the ropes, and Pacquiao will focus his attention to the body with a combination of punches to the chest and shoulder, forcing Mayweather to clinch and break the momentum.

 

Mayweather will get up on his toes in the 9º ronda, using lateral movement to keep Pacquiao from setting his feet and unleashing more than one punch at a time. Pacquiao will step in with a few lefts that are blocked, but Mayweather’s movement will keep him from throwing any follow-up punches. As Mayweather slips out, he will land his own counter punches, making it another difficult round to score.

 

Throughout the 10º i 11º rondes, Mayweather will execute a plan to counter Pacquiao with single punches and avoid most of his counter flurries. Pacquiao will step in with a hard left to the body, forcing a Mayweather clinch. When the action resumes, Pacquiao will look to attack the body again, only to be met with a straight right hand over the top.

 

The final round in a very close bout will see Mayweather neutralizing Pacquiao’s rushes, landing single counter punches and pivoting away from danger, sharpshooting from the outside. Pacquiao will desperately try to corner Mayweather but he won’t allow it, moving on the outside and clinching in close, bringing an anticlimactic ending as the final bell rings.

 

It will take several minutes for the scorecards to be tabulated, with the consensus believing Mayweather won 7 rondes, including a knockdown. Pacquaio will pray in his corner while Mayweather smiles and laughs with his entourage.

 

The decision will be as follows. Glen Feldman will score the bout 114-113 for Pacquaio. Burt Clements will score 115-112 for Mayweather. Dave Moretti will score the bout a very curious 115-112 for the winner of the biggest superfight of the century…. MANNY “PACMAN” PACQUIAO!!!!

 

With the decision announced, a disgusted Mayweather will demand a rematch before storming out of the ring, setting up another lucrative event in September and a possible trilogy.

Com es va anunciar prèviament, 26-anys d'edat Santa Creu will be making his second appearance on a Floyd Mayweather pay-per-view undercard. The fan-friendly two-division world champion has defended his super bantamweight title numerous times in impressive fashion on his way to earning a reputation as one of the most exciting fighters in the world. Born in Huetamo, Michoaca de Ocampo, Mexico but fighting out of Los Angeles, Santa Cruz won his first world title in 2012. En 2013 he won his super bantamweight title.

 

Lluita fora de Tijuana, Baixa Califòrnia, Mèxic, Cayetano es va convertir en professional en 2009 and sprinted to a 10-0 record before dropping a narrow split decision to Ruben Tamayo in 2011. He most recently dropped a decision to Enrique Bernache in February after defeating Dennis Contreras and Eden Marquez in his previous two starts. He hopes to make a grand impression in his U.S. debutar aMaig 2.
