WBC MIDDLEWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION MIGUEL COTTO

FUQ Ġunju 6, 2015 AT BARCLAYS CENTER IN BROOKLYN LIVE ON HBO®

IPPREŻENTATI MILL ROC NATION SPORTS + MIGUEL COTTO PROMOTIONS

 

New York (Mejju 19, 2015) – Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 Tal-KO), the reigning WBC and Ring Magazine Middleweight World Champion and the first native of Puerto Rico to become world champion in four different weight classes will defend his titles against former Two-Time World Champion Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 Tal-KO) of Australia on Ġunju 6, 2015 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn in a 12-round fight that will be televised live on HBO. Geale hosted a New York City media workout this afternoon at Mendez Boxing Gym in preparation for his title challenge against Cotto. Here’s what Geale, and his American promoter Gary Shaw, kellhom jgħidu:

 

Daniel Geale – Former Two-Time World Champion

 

“Cotto has trouble in stages against guys that move and use their reach. He knows that’s what I’m going to be doing and he’s going to be trying to counter that with aggression and coming forward. I’m going to use my abilities and not get caught up in his game plan.”

 

“The game plan is to go in and fight my fight. It’s not to get sucked in. It’s not to get caught up in what he [Imsajjar] is doing. It’s to do what I do best.”

 

“This is going to be a huge fight for me. Fighting a guy like Miguel who’s fought some of the greatest fighters is going to be a great test. We’re going in very confident.”

 

“I want this one badly. It’s something that we have wanted for a while and I’m extremely excited. I’ve got guys like Gary Shaw and my team at the Grange from Australia and they are working very hard behind the scenes. I’m just going to worry about my job and they do their job greatly. I just worry about getting myself in perfect condition.”

 

Gary Shaw – President of Gary Shaw Productions

 

“If Daniel wins, Cotto has a rematch clause, so if Cotto wants the immediate rematch then that’s what he gets. Jekk le, according to WBC, it would be GGG again, but it doesn’t make a difference. Daniel will fight anybody, kullimkien. We went to Germany and fought Strum on his territory. He’s coming to New York which is Cotto’s town. It just doesn’t make a difference when you have a great fighter.”

 

“It’s going to be a great show and the fans are going to get what they want. Tune in for a great fight on Ġunju 6. It’s going to be a great night of boxing.”

FINALMENT!!!! Wara sitt snin argumenti, negozjar, tipponta saba’, u l-possibbiltà reali li qatt ma jiġri, is-superfight tant mistenni bejn Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. u Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao finalment wasal biex iseħħ.

STYLE

Mayweather:

Boxer pur b'veloċità kbira li jagħmel kollox tajjeb b'armament li jinkludi snapping jab, lemin preċiża u ganċ tax-xellug li jista 'jiġi rduppjat u ttriplikat b'effett tremend. Juża movimenti finta biex tiffriża l-avversarji u tiftaħ korsiji tal-ippanċjar. Jdaħħal il-geddum sew wara l-ispalla biex jirrombla bil-punches. Anke fuq il-ħbula, huwa mira diffiċli biex l-art punch solidu fuq. M’għandux qawwa kbira ta’ ippanċjar. Il-biċċa l-kbira tar-rebħiet ta’ waqfien tiegħu ġejjin minn qabża u qabża lill-avversarji tiegħu iżda rarament skorja knockouts nadif.

 

Pacquiao:

Kaxxi Pacquiao minn pożizzjoni ta’ Southpaw, miexi ’l quddiem u jxaqleb u jiftaħ fi triqtu. Ladarba fil-qrib, juża l-leminija tiegħu biex isib il-firxa u mbagħad joħroġ ix-xellug qawwi tiegħu, jew dritta jew looping, u spiss jirdoppja u jittriplika lill-ġisem u r-ras. Juża ċaqliq rapidu tar-ras biex jiżloq puntelli waqt li jimxi 'l quddiem. Żviluppa sew taħt it-tutela ta' Freddie Roach, jiżviluppaw ganċ dritt deċenti, jew bħala punch taċ-ċomb jew jintefgħu wara x-xellug. Juża ċaqliq rapidu tar-ras biex jiżloq puntelli waqt li jimxi 'l quddiem. M'għadux il-finitur beżgħu li darba kien aktar kmieni fil-karriera tiegħu.

 

QAWWA

Mayweather:

* Esperjenza – Il-boxing huwa fid-demm ta’ Mayweather, u ilu involut fl-isport sa minn tfulitu. Temm karriera estensiva ta’ dilettanti billi rebaħ il-midalja tal-bronż fil-Logħob Olimpiku tal-’96. Ilu jikkompeti b’suċċess fuq livell ta’ kampjonat għall-passat 17 snin, jiffaċċjaw u jegħleb ġellieda b'varjetà ta 'stili.

 

* Kundizzjonament – Mayweather huwa skerz tal-fitness b'etika tax-xogħol aqwa meta niġu għat-taħriġ. Ftit ġellieda jimbuttaw lilhom infushom daqs kemm tagħmel Mayweather fil-ġinnasju, anke tagħmel sessjonijiet ta’ taħriġ ta’ nofsillejl. Huwa evidenti fiċ-ċirku meta stamina tiegħu ġġorr lilu fl-aħħar rounds.

 

* Ċirku Ġenerali – Mayweather jaf kull pulzier taċ-ċirku u kif jikkontrolla ġlieda. Jaf meta jattakka, meta kaxxa, meta tgħolli n-nar, u meta l-kosta. Mayweather għandu ċ-ċirku meta jkun hemm. Anki l-ħinijiet rari meta kien stordut fil-ġlied, kien kapaċi malajr joqgħod u jrażżan it-theddida.

 

 

Pacquiao:

* Stil Mhux Ortodoss – Pacquiao huwa mhux ortodoss ħafna, anke għal southpaw. Jiċċaqlaq dritt ġewwa iżda huwa diffiċli biex ikompli bil-bobbing tiegħu u fin-ras. Qabel ma l-biċċa l-kbira tal-avversarji jkunu jistgħu jqabbdu l-onrushes tiegħu, qed jitfa’ punches ta’ whirlwind minn varjetà ta’ angoli.

 

* Veloċità – Pacquiao huwa flotta ta' sieq u sid ta' idejn veloċi ħafna, speċjalment għal boxer b’qawwa daqshekk konsiderevoli. Huwa malajr jiċċaqlaq fil-pożizzjoni u jispara kombinazzjonijiet rapidi wieħed-tnejn. Huwa espanda l-armament tiegħu biex jinkludi kombinazzjonijiet ta 'ganċijiet li jgħama, uppercuts, u l-idejn tax-xellug doppji jew tripli.

 

* Stamina – Pacquiao dejjem jinsab f’forma tremenda u jiġġieled daqstant iebes fl-aħħar rawnd daqs kemm jagħmel fl-ewwel. Huwa japplika ton ta 'pressjoni u huwa kontinwament ippanċjar, liebes avversarji stabbiliti fil-proċess.

 

NUQQASIJIET

Mayweather:

* Tixjiħ – Mayweather jista’ jkollha rekord bla tebgħa, imma Father Time qatt ma ġie megħlub. Mayweather kienet aktar bla skossi fl-aħħar combats. L-ewwel laqgħa tiegħu ma’ Marcos Maidana kienet affari aħrax u taqlib fejn Mayweather dehret ordinarja ħafna. Ir-rematch kienet aktar definittiva iżda mhux impressjonanti.

 

* Distrazzjonijiet – Maweather iħobb ikun fl-għajnejn tal-pubbliku u qatt ma jaħrab mill-kontroversja. L-aktar huma t-tilwim pubbliku tiegħu u r-rikonċiljazzjoni ma' missieru u t-trejner, Floyd Mayweather, Anzjan. It-taqlib tal-kamp l-aktar riċenti wasal fil-forma ta’ tilwima ta’ kamp ta’ taħriġ bejn Floyd Sr. u Alex Ariza, jaħdem bħala l-kowċ tas-saħħa u l-kondizzjonament. Kamp ta' taħriġ mhux armonjuż jista' jwassal għal distrazzjonijiet bla bżonn.

 

* Qawwa tal-ippanċjar - Ħafna mir-rebħiet ta 'waqfien ta' Mayweather ġew minn akkumulazzjoni ta 'punches. Ir-riżultat tas-soltu huwa r-referee jew kantuniera avversarja jwaqqaf il-battalja biex jipprevjeni aktar kastig. Minkejja n-knockout kontroversjali u splussiv tiegħu ta' Victor Ortiz, huwa rari li tara Mayweather jispiċċa bout b'punch wieħed, imur lura sa żmienu bħala 130-lira.

 

 

Pacquiao:

* Killer Instinct – Pacquiao darba kien meqjus bħala buzzsaw bla ħniena, qatgħa permezz ta 'avversarji sakemm ċedew. Minn dakinhar tilef dak it-tarf, naqas li jirba[ ;lieda b’waqfien minn dakinhar 2009. Aktar ta 'tħassib huwa li f'diversi okkażjonijiet huwa ttaffi fuq avversarji outclassed, li jippermettulhom jgħixu l-aħħar ftit rawnds.

 

* Problemi bil-Counterpunchers – Pacquiao huwa aggressiv, ġellied l-ewwel offense li se jitfa’ punches liberament, iżda huwa jista 'jitħin u ħafna drabi huwa miftuħ biex jintlaqat bil-bankijiet. Juan Manuel Marquez tah fits b'moviment u counter punches, anke skurja knockout spettakolari fuq Pacquiao b’kontr il-leminija perfettament.

 

* Età – Pacquiao m’għadux il-fenomenu li kien fl-20 sena. Issa jinsab f’nofs it-30 sena. Peress li hu fiżikament età, ħa wkoll skeda super umana b’aspirazzjonijiet politiċi f’pajjiżu, dehriet personali numerużi, u diversi bouts diffiċli.

 

 

BOUT PREĊEDENTI

Mayweather:

(09-13-14) Mayweather innewtralizza u outboxed lil Marcos Maidana f'rematch mill-konfront tagħhom eqreb milli mistenni minn erba' xhur qabel. Filwaqt li l-azzjoni kienet skarsa, kien każ ta’ Mayweather li juża l-ħiliet u l-intelliġenza superjuri tiegħu biex ifixkel l-avversarju aggressiv iżda limitat tiegħu.

 

Pacquiao:

(11-20-14) Pacquiao rebaħ deċiżjoni unanima dominanti fuq il-logħba iżda Chris Algieri ma kellux esperjenza kbira. Pacquiao kien fil-kontroll mill-bidu u skorja total ta’ sitt knockdowns, b'xi mod naqas milli jiskorja n-knockout xi esperti ħasbu li kellu bżonn ikun f'pożizzjoni biex isseħħ il-ġlieda ta' Mayweather.

 

TLIET L-AĦJAR PRESTAZZJONIJIET

 

Mayweather:

* Diego Corrales (1/20/01) – L-esperti kienu mqattgħin fuq min se jagħżel f’dan wieħed b’ħafna jxaqilbu lejn Corrales biex jirbħu b’KO. Mayweather qatt ma ħallieh fil-bout, waqqah ħames darbiet qabel ma r-referee waqqaf il-bout fl-10 round.

 

* Arturo Gatti (6/25/05) – Għalkemm Mayweather kien favorit solidu tal-imħatri, ħafna stennew li Gatti jagħmel l-affarijiet ħorox għal Mayweather. Qatt ma ġara, hekk kif Mayweather xeħet lil Gatti fl-ewwel rawnd u ta daqqa qawwija qabel il-korner ta’ Gatti waqqaf il-ġlieda wara sitt rounds fuq naħa waħda.

 

* Ricky Hatton (12/8/07) – Hatton ma kienx megħlub meta daħal fil-konfront u stabbilixxa pjan ta’ logħba ta’ pressjoni kostanti biex jilbsu lil Mayweather. Wara ftit rawnds skomdi, Mayweather kien kapaċi jsib il-firxa tiegħu u jieħu f'idejh, art Hatton darbtejn fl-10 rawnd u furzar waqfien.

 

Pacquiao:

* Oscar De La Hoya (12/06/08) – Huwa diffiċli li timmaġina issa, iżda l-kunsens dak iż-żmien kien li De la Hoya kien se jeqred lill-Pacquiao iżgħar fi valanga.. Kienet valanga, iżda kien Pacquiao jqassam is-swat, iqattar lil De la Hoya biż-żewġ idejn. Wara tmien rounds fuq naħa waħda u brutali, De la Hoya minfuħ u mdemmi ġie msawwat biex jirtira b’mod permanenti.

* Miguel Cotto (11/14/09) – Pacquiao żarma b’mod impressjonanti lil Cotto ikbar u li jimponi fiżikament. Pacquiao waqqa’ lis-superstars ta’ Puerto Rico darbtejn kmieni. Mis-6 rawnd 'il quddiem, Pacquiao kellu lil Cotto f’qoxra difensiva, sawtu sakemm ir-referee waqqaf il-bout fit-12-il round.

* Ricky Hatton (05/02/09) – Pacquio għadda minn Hatton b'mod veloċi u distruttiv. Hatton–filwaqt li għadu underdog–kien mistenni li jipprovdi sfida bis-saħħa tiegħu u t-tattiċi ta’ mauling. Pacquiao żvela ganċ tal-lemin imtejjeb u kellu lil Hatton niżel darbtejn fl-ewwel rawnd qabel għaffeġ b'knockout devastanti fit-tieni..

IMFIETAħ lejn ir-rebħa

 

Mayweather:

* Ikseb ir-rispett ta’ Pacquiao kmieni, timing rushes tiegħu, u jolqtuh b’id il-leminija.

 

* Uża clinches biex tfarrak lil Pacquiao u tfixkel kull momentum offensiv.

 

* Tippruvax tinnegozja punches ma' Pacquiao.

 

 

 

Pacquiao:

* Uża finti biex Mayweather tagħmel l-ewwel pass.

 

* Timmirax strettament lejn ir-ras ta 'Mayweather. Iffoka fuq il-ġisem, armi, u t-torso?

 

* Tħallix lil Mayweather jikkontrolla l-tempo.

 

MISTOQSIJIET U TWEĠIBIET

 

* Tista 'l-ġlieda tgħix sa l-hype? Sakemm dan ma jirriżultax li jkun Hagler-Hearns, Gatti-Ward, u Ali-Frazier kollha rrumblati f'wieħed, se jkun kważi impossibbli li tgħix mal-hype li ilu madwar dan it-tlaqqigħ għal aktar minn sitt snin. Il-hype jista 'jkun minfuħ u overbearing, iżda xorta jista 'jkun divertenti.

 

* Il-ġlieda qed isseħħ tard wisq? Iż-żewġ ġellieda għandhom l-aħħar tat-30 sena. Filwaqt li dawn iż-żewġ fenomeni għadhom kompetituri elite, huma passati primes tagħhom. Anke hekk, f’diversi okkażjonijiet seħħew każijiet ta’ ġellieda li għaddew mill-primijiet tagħhom li jaqblu perfettament u daru f’laqgħa epika.

 

* Min għandu l-aktar x'jitlef? Mayweather bla dubju għandha l-aktar x'titlef. Pacquiao huwa ikona f’pajjiżu, hekk jiġri x'jiġri, se jibqa’ figura għeżież. Mayweather qed jiftaħar dwaru nnifsu bħala "The Best Ever" u jgħożż ir-rekord tiegħu bla telfa. Saħansitra reċentement qal li hu aħjar milli kien Muhammad Ali. Telf iħassar in-“0” fir-rekord ta’ Mayweather u se jipprovdi aktar għalf għall-argument li lanqas hu l-aqwa tal-ġenerazzjoni tiegħu.

 

* Kif se jaqblu l-istili tagħhom? Jidher li jkun boxer klassiku vs puncher match-up. Mayweather hija strateġista kkunsmahx. Huwa kaptan biex jidher l-avversarji tiegħu, jiffrustrahom, u t-twaqqif ta’ counter punches. Pacquiao se jagħfas l-azzjoni, jippruvaw jisbqu, tkisser mid-difiża ta’ Mayweather b’volum għoli ta’ punches. Se jkun konfront ta’ Kwantità kontra Kwalità. Pacquiao se jitfa’ aktar punches, aktar ponnijiet minn qatt ħadd ma tefa' kontra Mayweather. Mayweather se tarmi inqas iżda tinżel b'rata ta 'konnessjoni ogħla, b'punches kontro li jaqtgħu.

 

* X'inhuma ċ-ċansijiet ta' Knockout? Pacquiao huwa magħruf bħala l-aħjar puncher, i]da naqas li jiskorja reb[a ta’ stoppage minn mindu ta lil Miguel Cotto 2009. Minn dak iż-żmien Mayweather kiseb rebħa waħda ta’ waqfien 2007 kontra Victor Ortiz b’geddum dgħajjef. Iż-żewġ xenarji l-aktar probabbli għal rebħa b'knockout ikunu jew li Pacquiao isir imprudenti u jħalli lilu nnifsu miftuħ għall-id dritta dritta ta' Mayweather jew Mayweather f'daqqa waħda jsir ġellied antik u dbiel taħt il-pressjoni bla waqfien ta' Pacquiao.. Probabbli, din il-ġlieda se tmur għall-iscorecards.

 

 

* L-uffiċjali se jieħdu sehem fil-konklużjoni? Kenny Bayless ġie assenjat bħala r-referee u huwa meqjus bħala wieħed mill-aqwa fil-boxing. Huwa ħadem bħala referee f’sitt ġlied preċedenti ta’ Pacquiao u erba’ combats preċedenti ta’ Mayweather. L-unika reazzjoni li rċieva minn dawk l-għaxar combats totali kienet ir-rivinta ta’ Mayweather-Maidana fejn ġie kkritikat talli kisser il-għotjien ta’ ġewwa malajr wisq, milli jidher jiffavorixxi lil Mayweather kontra l-istil ta’ mauling ta’ Maidana. B'Mayweather naturalment akbar minn Pacquiao, tkissir clinches malajr (speċjalment jekk Pacquiao għandu xi momentum) isservi aktar bħala żvantaġġ għal Mayweather. L-imħallfin huma Burt Clements, Dave Moretti, iż-żewġ uffiċjali veterani f’Las Vegas, u Glenn Feldman, ibbażat barra mill-Connecticut. Moretti ħadem disa’ combats Mayweather u sitt bouts Pacquiao. Clements ħadem tliet combats Mayweather u bout Pacquiao wieħed. Feldman ħadem biss bout Mayweather kmieni fil-karriera tiegħu.

 

* X'jiġri wara? Jekk il-ġlieda tirriżulta li tkun divertenti, qrib, jew kontroversjali, rematch huwa possibbli skond ir-riżultat.

Jekk Mayweather jirbaħ, hu 48-0 u jista’ jitbiegħed minn Pacquiao u jfittex sfida differenti għall-aħħar ġlieda tiegħu. Huwa jista 'saħansitra jfittex pass possibbli biex jaqbad titlu fil-piż medju u superġlied ieħor bis-sensazzjoni kbira li jmiss Gennady Golovkin.

Jekk Pacquiao jirba[, rematch hija kważi mogħtija, speċjalment b'tant flus fuq il-mejda.

Draw x'aktarx iġġiegħel ukoll rematch għall-aħħar ġlieda tal-karriera ta' Mayweather f'xi żmien f'Settembru.

 

Tbassir PENECALE

L-antiċipazzjoni hekk kif il-ġellieda jagħmlu triqthom lejn iċ-ċirku se tkun elettrika. Il-crescendo dejjem jikber ta 'eċċitament se jkompli permezz tal-introduzzjonijiet b'Mayweather isports smirk kunfidenti u Pacquaio iffissat b'dija silġ.

 

L-istennija tintemm meta ddoqq il-qanpiena u ż-żewġ ġellieda joħorġu fiċ-ċentru taċ-ċirku. Mayweather se jkun qed jiċċaqlaq lejn ix-xellug tiegħu, irrumbla idejh u jipprobing b'jab artab. Pacquiao se jkun bħal rebbiegħa mdawra, jaqbdu 'l quddiem u lura u finta bil-jab tiegħu. Pacquiao se jitfa’ ftit idejn xellugija selvaġġi li Mayweather lura, dahru jolqot il-ħbula hekk kif jiżżerżaq 'il bogħod lejn il-lemin tiegħu. Ir-rawnd se jintemm mingħajr xejn inżul konklużiv għal kwalunkwe ġlied, jagħmilha diffiċli biex jiskorjaw.

 

Pacquiao se jfittex li jżid il-pass fit-tieni rawnd u jmur barra lil Mayweather. Filwaqt li Mayweather huwa ċ-ċentru taċ-ċirku, se jiddetta l-pass u l-azzjoni, i]omm lil Pacquiao limitat biex jitfa’ punch kull darba. Meta Pacquiao kapaċi jaqta’ ċ-ċirku u lura lil Mayweather mal-ħbula, hu se joħroġ kombinazzjonijiet. Il-flurries fil-biċċa l-kbira mhux se jinżlu, iżda r-rata tax-xogħol se tqanqal lill-folla f'furja.

 

Pacquaio se jkompli l-volum għoli ta ' puntelli permezz tal- 3rd u 4th dawriet sakemm Mayweather jiżbarka idejn il-leminija waqt li saqajhom huma mħabblin, wassal biex Pacquiao jinfirex mal-kanvas. Hu se jipprotesta waqt li Bayless jamministra l-għadd, imma mhux se jweġġa’. Mayweather se titbissem u tidħol fiha, jitfg ftit idejn il-leminija, tassew tara jekk Pacquiao huwiex stordut. Pacquiao se jirrispondi b’idu tax-xellug vizzjuż tiegħu stess, iġib il-folla fuq saqajha hekk kif iddoqq il-qanpiena.

 

Mayweather jerġa kaxxa b'kawtela tibda l 5th round, jibqgħu fuq barra u jduru ‘l bogħod meta Pacquiao jersaq qrib. Il-ġlieda se tixbaħ relazzjoni bejn il-qtates u l-ġurdien b’Pacquiao jipprova jgħaqqad lil Mayweather u lil Mayweather jipprova jxekkel biex jiżbalja. Pacquiao se jkun l-aggressur, jitfa’ ħafna aktar punches. Mayweather se jkun timing lilu b'punches kontro wieħed matul il- 6th u 7th rawnds.

 

Idu tax-xellug qawwija minn Pacquiao fil- 8th round se startle Mayweather u jikkawża demm li joħroġ minn imnieħru. Pacquiao se jipprova jagħfas il-vantaġġ u joħroġ torrent ieħor ta’ punches. Mayweather se jiġbed il-bogħod kontra l-ħbula, u Pacquiao se jiffoka l-attenzjoni tiegħu fuq il-ġisem b’kombinazzjoni ta’ daqqiet fuq is-sider u l-ispalla, jġiegħel lil Mayweather tingħaqad u tkisser il-momentum.

 

Mayweather se jqum fuq saqajh fil- 9th round, juża moviment laterali biex iżomm lil Pacquiao milli jpoġġi saqajh u joħroġ aktar minn punch wieħed kull darba. Pacquiao se jidħol bi ftit xellugi li huma mblukkati, iżda l-moviment ta 'Mayweather se jżommu milli jitfa' xi segwitu punches. Kif Mayweather jiżloq barra, hu se jillandja punches kontro tiegħu stess, jagħmilha round ieħor diffiċli biex jiskurjaw.

 

Matul il- 10th u 11th rawnds, Mayweather se jesegwixxi pjan biex jikkumbatti lil Pacquiao b'daqqiet ta' daqqa waħda u jevita l-biċċa l-kbira tal-kontroflurji tiegħu. Pacquiao se jidħol bi xellug iebes għall-ġisem, jisforzaw clinch Mayweather. Meta l-azzjoni terġa’ tibda, Pacquiao se jfittex li jerġa’ jattakka l-ġisem, biss biex jintlaqgħu b'id dritta fuq in-naħa ta 'fuq.

 

L-aħħar rawnd f’battal mill-qrib ħafna se jara lil Mayweather jinnewtralizza l-ġirja ta’ Pacquiao, l-inżul ta 'punches ta' kontro wieħed u d-dawra 'l bogħod mill-periklu, sharpshooting minn barra. Pacquiao se jipprova b’mod iddisprat jagħti corner lil Mayweather iżda mhux se jippermetti, jiċċaqilqu fuq barra u clinching fil-qrib, ġġib tmiem antiklimattiku hekk kif iddoqq il-qanpiena finali.

 

Ikunu jieħdu diversi minuti biex l-iscorecards jiġu kklassifikati, bil-kunsens jemmen li Mayweather reb[et 7 rawnds, inkluż knockdown. Pacquaio se jitlob fir-rokna tiegħu filwaqt li Mayweather jitbissem u jidħaq mal-madwaru.

 

Id-deċiżjoni se tkun kif ġej. Glen Feldman se jiskorja l-bout 114-113 għal Pacquaio. Burt Clements se jiskorja 115-112 għal Mayweather. Dave Moretti se jiskurja l-bout b'mod kurjuż ħafna 115-112 għar-rebbieħ tal-akbar superfight tas-seklu.... MANNY "PACMAN" PACQUIAO!!!!

 

Bid-deċiżjoni mħabbra, Mayweather disgustat se jitlob rematch qabel maltempata barra mill-ring, twaqqif ta’ avveniment ieħor li jrendi f’Settembru u triloġija possibbli.
