CARSON, CALIF.(Bealtaine 29, 2021) -Nonito Donaire is champion arís. Ceithre bliana déag tar éis dó a chéad teideal domhanda a bhuachan, dhaingnigh an “Filipino Flash” a dhintiúir Hall of Fame le bua iontach sa cheathrú babhta KONordine Oubaalichun teideal Meáchan Bantam an Domhain WBC a ghabháil oíche Dé Sathairn i bpríomhimeacht SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING ó Pháirc Spóirt Dignity Health in Carson, Calif. in imeacht Premier Dornálaíocht Seaimpíní.

“Tá an rí ar ais,” D’imthigh Donaire ina dhiaidh. “Is breá liom na sluaite. Mo chairde go léir, teaghlaigh, go raibh míle maith ag lucht leanúna na dornálaíochta ar fad a tháinig amach. Tá sibh go hiontach.”

An Donaire 38 bliain d'aois (41-6, 27 Kos) ar an chraobh domhanda is sine riamh le 118 bpunt. Bhain sé amach é leis an lámh chlé a bhí mar chárta glaonna a ghairm bheatha nuair a thit sé Oubaali (17-1, 12 Kos) trí huaire san iomlán.

“Ní hé a bheith ag an aois seo an cheist, tá sé faoi mo fheidhmíocht,” arsa Donaire. “Faoi mo chumas fás. Creidim nach bhfuil tábhacht leis an aois atá agat, ach cé chomh láidir meabhrach atá tú. Cad a d'fhoghlaim mé ó na [Naoia] Is é an comhrac inoue ná go bhfuil mé ar ais. Is féidir liom fós dul san iomaíocht ag an leibhéal seo. An t-am ar fad ní raibh mé ag troid, Bhí mé ag foghlaim. Táim réidh don chéad cheann eile.”

Tar éis an chéad bhabhta mothaithe, Chuaigh Donaire ag obair sa dua, ag siúl Oubaali síos agus ag dul i ngleic le héifeacht thudding. Scóráil Donaire an chéad chluiche go luath sa tríú háit, ag titim Oubaali lena chuntar trádmharc ar chlé. D’eirigh an Francach ar a chosa míshuaimhneach agus phreab Donaire, tuirlingt níos mó shots móra go dtí hook eile ar chlé floored Oubaali ach soicind scoilte roimh an bhabhta dar críoch. Arís, Bhí Oubaali ag streachailt lena chosa, dazed fós sásta troid ar.

Tháinig an deireadh go tapa sa cheathrú. D'aistrigh Donaire Oubaali timpeall an fháinne go sainiúil, é a phionnáil i gcoinne na rópaí nuair a chuir gearrtha uachtarach ar chlé Oubaali ag mionú go dtí an chanbhás don tríú uair agus an uair dheireanach. Chuir an réiteoir Jack Reiss deireadh leis láithreach. Ba é an t-am oifigiúil an íoc chuige 1:52 den cheathrú babhta.

“Trí scór bliain de bheith ina laoch domhanda. Curadh domhanda naoi n-uaire. Sin iontach,” arsa Donaire. “Tháinig mé isteach anseo agus mhothaigh mé an-mhaith. Inniu bhí a fhios agam go díreach cad a bhí le tarlú. Bhí a fhios agam go díreach cad a bhí mé ag dul a dhéanamh. Sílim go raibh mé díreach tar éis díriú go mór ar an seomra aclaíochta. Bhí mé an-, an-dírithe. Mhothaigh mé an-mhaith ag teacht isteach agus bhí mé buíoch as an deis seo a fháil.

“Ba rud é anocht a bhí orm a chruthú don domhan go bhfuil mé ar ais agus go bhfuil mé níos láidre ná riamh. Fear an-dian a bhí ann. I mo thuairimse, ar deireadh thiar dom, bhí leibhéal ann dá mbeinn níos foighne? Nó ba chóir dom dul chun é? Rud a d’fhoghlaim mé sa troid Inoue ná dul don mharú. Agus sin go díreach a rinne mé. Bhí mé foighneach, ach bhí a fhios agam go raibh sé gortaithe go leor go bhféadfainn é a thógáil amach.”

Sa an comh-gné, Puerto Rico arSubriel Matias (17-1, 17 Kos) seachadadh taispeáint chumhacht-punching eile, briseadh síos roimhe seo-gan builleBatyr Zhukembayev (18-1, 14 Kos) go dtí gur stop cúinne Jukembayev an bout tar éis ocht mbabhta spleodracha.

“Sílim gurb é seo a raibh gach duine ag súil leis. Bhí a fhios ag gach éinne gur cogadh mór a bhí ann,” arsa Matias. “Tháinig deireadh leis seo trí bhualadh amach cé acu an raibh mé chun a bheith bainte amach nó an raibh Jukembayev chun a bheith bainte amach. Tá áthas orm gur mise a leag amach é.”

Bunaíonn Matias é féin mar dhuine de na cinn is fearr i rannán cruachta, ach ní raibh an bua is déanaí seo éasca. Tháinig Jukembayev de Chasacstáin amach go láidir, ag teacht i dtír teaglaim uachtair lúb ar dheis thuas staighre óna sheasamh cos theas a tharraing aird Matias sa chéad.

Bhrúigh Jukembayev an luas sa dara ceann. Thosaigh Matias ag ligean a lámha sa tríú háit, caitheamh i gcomhcheangal leis an ceann agus comhlacht. Bhí an dá chomhraiceoir téite go hiomlán anois, ag socrú an stáitse don cheathrú babhta a d’fhéadfadh a bheith ina iarrthóir ar “Bhabhta na Bliana”.

Thosaigh sé nuair a duán crua chlé tuislithe Jukembayev agus thiomáin sé go dtí an chanbhás. Rinne Matias iarracht an seó a dhúnadh ach lean Jukembayev air, glanadh a cheann agus thosaigh sé ag tuirlingt a shots féin. Le nóiméad fágtha sa rann, Stunned Jukembayev Matias le crois chlé. In ionad clinching, Throid Matias tine le tine, an slua a thabhairt amach as a suíocháin le gníomh ladhar-go-ladhar go dtí an cloigín ag canadh.

Níor stop Matias ag teacht ar aghaidh. Tar éis séú taobh amháin, D'fhill Jukembayev ar a chúinne agus an dá shúil dúnta. Tháinig an cúl is anall sa seachtú háit nuair a bhuail Jukembayev Matias le dhá chúl ar dheis ag druidim le deireadh an bhabhta..

D’fhill Matias ar shuíochán an tiománaí san ochtú babhta, ag brú ar Jukembayev leis an dá dhorn. San iomlán, chuaigh sé amach i dtír Jukembayev 100 punches (234/608 go 134 /409) agus bhí sé níos cruinne (38.5% go 32.8%). Ba leor an carnadh buille a chuir ina luí ar chúinne Jukembayev iarraidh go gcuirfí stop leis an mbout.

“Bhí a fhios aige nach raibh aon rud le cailleadh aige. Tháinig sé isteach agus bhí sé ag déanamh gach rud go láidir,” arsa Matias. “Bhí a fhios aige nach bhféadfadh sé a dhéanamh ach mé a bhualadh chun an bua a fháil. Ba mhaith liom a bheith déanta ar an rud céanna. Sin croí laochra agus tá mo mheas ar fad aige.

“Tar éis an ceathrú babhta sin, Ciallaíonn mé gur trodaire an-iomaíoch é, mar sin d'iompaigh sé ina chogadh tar éis an phointe sin. Téann mo lámha suas chuige freisin. Bhí sé ag troid iontach. Is cinnte go raibh comhraic eile agam a bhí an-mhaith, ach seo é an ceann a thug an tástáil is deacra dom.”

Sa oscailteoir teileachraolta, Gary Antuanne Russell (14-0, 14 Kos) lean sé ar aghaidh ag ardú na céimeanna super lightweight. Bhí an Russell undefeated an chéad stop a chur leis an garbhSeán Santiago (14-2-1, 10 Kos), ceannasaíocht ar Santiago go dtí gur stop an réiteoir Sharon Sands an comórtas tar éis an séú babhta ar mholadh cúinne Santiago.

“Is é an cuspóir an fear a thabhairt amach chomh luath agus is féidir agus teacht amach gan mhá gáinne,” arsa Russell. “Ba mhaith liom a rá go raibh Santiago ina chéile comhraic rang A. Ceapann go leor daoine gur bhuaigh sé Adrien Broner. Ba mhaith liom Adrien Broner anois."

Le deartháir níos sine agus Curadh Domhanda Cleite WBC Gary Russell Jr. ag obair a chúinne, Rialaigh Gary Antuanne an beart ón gcloch tosaigh. An 2016 D'oibrigh an Oilimpeach an jab agus d'fhág sé díreach taobh thiar den chos dheas, ag sciobadh cloigeann Santiago ar ais arís agus arís eile sa chéad cheann.

Russell, 24, ar aghaidh ag teacht i dtír ar an taobh clé sa dara agus sa tríú. Go luath sa cheathrú, lean sé suas díreach ar chlé go dtí an easnacha le hook gearr ar dheis thuas staighre a thit Santiago ar a ghlúin. D’ardaigh Santiago de chuid Pórtó Ríce go hiontach ar a chosa agus tháinig slán as an ionsaí leantach chun é a bhaint amach.

“Is é an tábhacht domsa é a rith bhabhta ar bhabhta, agus bhabhta-ar-bhabhta, Bhí mé ag forghníomhú níos mó agus níos mó. Dubhairt m'athair liom dul go dtí an corp, duán ceart thuas staighre. Bhí sé oscailte dó sin,” arsa Russell.

Níor léirigh Russell aon chomharthaí de mhoilliú in ainneoin gur síneadh é níos faide ná ceithre bhabhta don chéad uair ina ghairm bheatha. Airde na Príomhchathrach, Md. táirge buailte Santiago sa séú háit, tuirlingthe comhcheangail phionósú ar fud an fhráma. Chuimhneacháin ina dhiaidh sin, cuireadh stop leis an bout.

“Is cinnte go bhfuil sé tábhachtach dom a bheith ag seinm mar sin ní hamháin go bhfuil aithne orm mar dheartháir óg Gary Russell,” arsa Russell, a dtír 146 de 444 punches (32.9%). “Is as cúlra sármhaith trodaithe mé. Táimid ag tógáil dynasty.

“Cé chomh luath agus is mian liom dul ar ais sa bhfáinne? Dá bhféadfainn troid ar chárta Deontay Wilder, bheadh sé sin go hiontach.”

Seo an méid a bhí an trodaithe a rá Déardaoin:

**OUBAALI NORDINE**

“Tá, tá sparred againn ach oiliúint is oiliúint. Nuair a théann tú isteach i troid, nach bhfuil sé mar an gcéanna. Bíonn gach troid difriúil agus tá a fhios agam Dé Sathairn beidh mé ag cur seó iontach ar siúl le Nonito Donaire mar tá a fhios agam gur dornálaí maith é ach tá a fhios agam gurb mise an duine is fearr. Rinne mé oiliúint chomh dian chuige seo agus anois táim réidh le troid. Ba mhaith liom a thaispeáint do chách go bhfuil an dá bantamweights is fearr sa dornálaíocht inniu ag troid Dé Sathairn.

“Tá, bhí gairm bheatha den scoth aige agus tá cumhacht aige ach creidim go bhfuil níos mó cumhachta agam ná é. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil an chumhacht agam. Is dornálaí maith é ach is mise curadh an domhain agus ar an Satharn taispeánfaidh mé don domhan cé hé is fearr. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil mé an chuid is fearr. Tá meas agam ar Nonito. Bhí slí bheatha mhaith aige ach is mise an duine is fearr sa rannóg.

“Is é an difríocht a bheidh sa troid ná go mbeidh mé ag iarraidh níos mó a bhuachan. Ba mhaith liom leanúint ar aghaidh ag déanamh staire agus fanacht mar chraobh an domhain sa rannán seo. Tá a fhios agam gurb é mo chuid ama é. Ba mhaith liom é seo níos mó ná mar a dhéanann sé.

“Má tá an bua agam, cén fáth nach mbeadh an chéad troid eile agam ar son an aontú? Ba mhaith liom stair a dhéanamh gach uair agus is é seo mo spreagadh. Táim anseo mar is breá liom dornálaíocht agus ba mhaith liom aghaidh a thabhairt ar na dornálaithe is fearr gach uair. Tá mé ag tabhairt aghaidh ar Nonito Donaire agus tá sé sin iontach do mo ghairm bheatha. Is maith liom troid agus seo mo shaol.”

**NONITO DONAIRE**

“Bheadh sé iontach an teideal a bhuachan ag 38 bliana d’aois agus a bheith ar an chraobh is sine ag 118 punt, ach leanfaimis é. Déanaimis é 40. Déanaimis é 42. Níl aon stad orm. Meabhrach, Táim an-bhuíoch ach ag an am céanna táim an-réidh.

“Bím sláintiúil i gcónaí agus is é an fáth a dtig liom dul san iomaíocht le haon duine ná mar go gcoimeádaim mé féin sláintiúil agus go n-oibrím go crua. Níl aon rud níos lú ná 100 faoin gcéad gach uair a bhím sa seomra aclaíochta sin.

“Tá mé thar a bheith deacair mar sin ní dhéanaim an rud a deir daoine liom a dhéanamh i gcónaí. Is féidir le daoine a rá gurb é a gcuid ama é. Ach tá mo chuid ama agam freisin agus beidh mé i gcónaí mar an duine a ghéilleann a gcuid ama nó a dhéanfaidh an cinneadh sin. Tá sé fós mo chuid ama.

“Is troid iontach a bheidh ann. Is é Oubaali an curadh ar chúis. Tá sé tríd ó thaobh na n-amaitéarach de agus é á dhéanamh anseo. Mar sin nílimid ag tabhairt faoi mheas ar bith de sin. Ach is iomaí uair a throid mé san ionad seo agus déanaim troideanna draíochta i gcónaí ar an gcéad dul síos. Beidh sé draíochtúil liom i gcónaí. Is aonbheannaigh mé.

“Is é an difríocht a bheidh sa troid seo ná mo ocras. Tá sé níos óige ná mise ach tá an t-ocras orm. Tá cuspóir againn beirt agus sin an rud a dhéanfaidh troid iontach.

“Ba mhaith liom troid leis an duine is fearr amuigh ansin. Ba mhaith liom an rematch le Naoya Inoue agus ba mhaith liom a fháil ar na criosanna. Is é an t-aon rud nach bhfuil bainte amach agam sa dornálaíocht ná a bheith ina laoch gan amhras. Tá gach rud eile déanta agam. Trodaire na Bliana. Knockout na Bliana. Craobhchomórtais iolracha. Curadh ceithre rannán. Ainmníonn tú é. Sin é mo phríomhsprioc. Faigh an crios agus cuir iad go léir le chéile.

“Is é meáchan bantam an fíormheáchan atá agam. Throid mé i gcónaí sa rannán níos troime mar gheall ar an spleodar, an dúshlán agus an tairiscint brabúsaí nó na hainmneacha ag an am sin. Anois, Táim anseo san áit a bhfuilim i mo bhall agus seo an áit a bhfuilim an-láidir.

“Ní bheidh an aslonnú ina fhachtóir ar chor ar bith. Chabhraigh an t-am saor liom. Just a bheith as an fáinne chabhraigh mo chorp a ghnóthú. Agus tá an fonn agus an t-ocras ann níos mó ná riamh. Beannacht a bhí ann dom.”

**SUBRIEL MATHIAS**

“Beidh mé an triail is deacra aige gan cheist agus tiocfaidh sé oíche Dé Sathairn, gheobhaidh gach duine amach cén fáth a bhfuil mé ag rá sin.

“Creidim é nuair a deir sé go bhfuil na huirlisí aige chun stop a chur leis Dé Sathairn. Ach ní ceist é a rá, oíche Dé Sathairn caithfidh sé é a chruthú. Má tá sé chun teacht amach as do bhéal, ansin caithfidh tú é a chruthú.

“Is ealaíontóirí knockout muid araon agus leis an méid a bhfuil muid ag féachaint ar, níor cheart go gcríochnódh an troid seo le cinneadh.

“Níl mórán le rá agam faoin gcomhrac sin i gcoinne Petros Ananyan. Iad siúd a chonaic mé caillte, chaill mé. Níl aon rud is féidir liom a rá faoi. Ach tuigeann na daoine a bhfuil aithne acu ar an dornálaíocht go bhfuil mé ag dul chun cinn agus ag feabhsú agus feicfidh sibh go léir é Dé Sathairn.”

**BATYR JUKEMBAYEV**

“Bhí campa traenála iontach agam. Táim réidh don oíche Dé Sathairn. Tá a fhios agam gur trodaire maith é ach geallaim go mbeidh mé réidh.

“Feicfidh muid oíche Shathairn an dtiocfaidh deireadh leis le buaicphointe. Taispeánfaidh mé duit cad as a bhfuil mé déanta agus feicfidh tú go léir.”

**GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL**

“Tá mé sa ghnó gortaithe. Is sladmhargadh é. Más mian leis teacht isteach ann agus sluga liom, Mothóidh sé mo chumhacht. Feicfidh sé cé chomh cliste is atá mé. Ní hamháin go meabhrach, ach go fisiciúil le mo lámha. Mar a dúirt mé, Tá mé sa ghnó gortaithe. Tagann mé a ghortú.

“Gabh mo leithscéal as mo easpa Spáinnise, ach is é an rud atá tú ag dul a fheiceáil, ‘la violencia.’ Tá sé chun a bhrú a chur air. Tá sé chun punches a thabhairt isteach agus creidim gurb é sin go léir is féidir leis a thabhairt. Má tá sé ag traenáil agus ag iarraidh é féin a shlánú do mo stíl troda, go breá. Níl tú ceaptha teacht isteach anseo aontoiseach. Scairteann diamaint ó gach taobh.

“Is é an t-aon rud is féidir liom a rá ná go bhfuil an t-ionad seo chun fuil a chur chun cinn, allas agus deora agus fonn daoine a bheith iontach. Is cinnte go bhfuil mé ar cheann acu. Bhí mé sa seomra aclaíochta ag tabhairt mo chuid fola, mo chuid allais is mo dheora agus mé ag tabhairt sin go léir go dtí an t-ionad seo oíche Shathairn.

“Is cinnte gur mhaith liom fanacht níos gníomhaí. Sin é mo phlean i gcónaí. Chuir an phaindéim moill ar rudaí. Insíonn lucht leanúna dom i gcónaí go bhfuil siad ag iarraidh mé a fheiceáil ag dul ar ais ann… ní deirim leo ach, mise freisin. Ní hiad na trodaithe a tharraingíonn na teaghráin go léir. Ar cheart dom a bheith níos gníomhaí? Ar ndóigh. Ba mhaith liom a bheith níos gníomhaí.

“Ba mhaith liom a thaispeáint gur mise uachtar an bhairr. Is sárréalta mé. Níl an solas ag lonrú orm mar tá go leor rudaí eile ar siúl. Go dtí sin, beidh ort fanacht agus a fheiceáil. Tar Dé Sathairn, seó iontach a bheidh ann. Beidh roinnt spréacha agus tinte ealaíne ann. Tá comhraic agam nach bhfuil sásta leagan síos. Mura bhfuil sé sásta, Caithfidh mé a chur ina luí."

**JOVANIE SANTIAGO**

“Tá a fhios agam gur trodaire maith é. Oilimpeach. Tá sé óg agus beidh sé ag troid. Tá mé chun teacht chun troid freisin, mar sin má chríochnaíonn an troid go luath, ansin críochnaíonn sé go luath.

“Níl le déanamh agam ach obair bhabhta ar bhabhta, punches a chaitheamh agus babhta amháin a bhuachan ag an am. Tar éis dom Russell a bhualadh, beidh gach duine ar mo thaobh.

“Is é seo mo mheáchan. Seo an áit is compordaí dom. Bhí mé i gcónaí 140-punt agus is é sin cad tá mé chun a léiriú.

“An uair seo, Tá mé ag troid ar mo mheáchan iarbhír. Is dóigh liom láidir. Táim ag teacht go dtí an obair bhabhta ar bhabhta agus ar an Satharn feicfidh gach duine cad atá i gceist agam.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday in Las Vegas:

MANNY PACQUIAO

“I feel so blessed and happy because of the excitement around this fight. It’s come from the fans here in the U.S. and media all over the world. I want to go out there and make all the people happy.

“The knockout in my last fight felt good. It felt like my younger days against Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto agus daoine eile. That fight was a big challenge for me to recover from the fight against Jeff Horn. People said that my career was done. But I never got discouraged, I just worked hard and made the knockout against Lucas Matthysse happen.

“These days I don’t only train my body, but also my mind. I’m a Senator, so my mind is very busy. I also play chess regularly and read books to keep my mind sharp.

“People writing me off after the Jeff Horn fight was good for me. I’m not mad at anyone who thought that. It just became a challenge and a test to me of whether or not I could still show my best.

“Being back here at MGM Grand makes me so happy. It’s an honor to be in this position. I remember my first fight here in the U.S. was at MGM Grand. I will never forget that moment and now I get to come back here and do it again.

“I know he is going to counter me but we’re ready for that. What happened in the Juan Manuel Marquez fight will not happen again. It was a mistake and I learned that mistake. We’ve worked on that in this training camp. I am prepared for Broner’s style.

“This is a challenge because it is my first fight as a 40-year-old. I have something to prove to everyone about what that means. Age is just a number. What matters is how you prepare and that you’re working hard.

“I don’t need to dislike my opponent to want a knockout. I’m just doing my job in the ring. Má thagann an knockout, it comes. We’re hoping to have that opportunity Saturday. I have to pressure him to make him open up. Wherever he goes, I’ll be there.

“I’ve always stayed disciplined throughout my years in boxing. I’m always making sure everything is in order and on point during my workouts. That plus cross-training with activities like basketball has helped me stay in this position all these years.”

Adrien BRONER

“I’m not up here to talk a lot of trash. I’ve put in the work. Tá sé seo le dul i ngleic am. After I win, everything is going to be different.

“People are talking a lot about Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather again, but I’m pretty sure Floyd is retired. I feel like people are trying to throw me to the wolves and overlook me.

“He doesn’t remind me of any past opponents just like I’m not going to remind him of anyone he’s fought. He’s never fought anyone like me. Every fighter has similarities, but truly every fighter is different. If I remind him of Floyd Mayweather, I hope his arm doesn’t hurt after this one.

“Look at my last five fights. I’ve fought world champion after world champion. I don’t duck any fights. I don’t care how many weight classes he’s won titles in.

“I’m not in awe of any fighter, especially Manny Pacquiao. I hope he’s in awe of me. I’m a one of a kind fighter too. I’ve made history in this sport.

“I just have to go out and win this fight, then everything is going to start going my way. Oíche Dé Sathairn, Beidh mé a bheith victorious. This is a defining moment in my career and it’s going to be one of the biggest nights of my life.

“Pacquiao hasn’t fought me so I’m not worried about what he says about me right now. He’s going to have a different outlook after he fights me Saturday night.

“I’m going to turn Las Vegas into a big block party after I win on Saturday night. It’s going to change my career.

“Manny Pacquiao has done a lot for the sport. I’m going to beat him up and have a drink with him afterward. I grew up in boxing and I know what’s going on. It’s a business, but don’t get it twisted, I’m going to dominate and win.

“This is going to be a hell of a fight. I’ve trained so hard and I want everyone to know that I play around a lot, but when that bell rings, Tá mé ag dul a bheith réidh. I didn’t come here to lose or lay down. I came here to get this victory. Real talk.”

BUBOY FERNANDEZ, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“I’m very thankful to this great team that we have that has prepared Manny for this challenge. I know that we worked very hard for this. I cannot fly without wings, but I can bring the belt back to the Philippines.

“Manny has trained hard and we expect a good fight. This is the hardest I’ve seen him train and it will be seen in the ring Saturday night”

FREDDIE ROACH, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“We’ve trained really hard for this fight. Manny is looking really good and is in tremendous shape. I’m sure Adrien is also because they’re both great fighters. I wish both men luck and may the best man win.”

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner’s Co-Trainer

“We’ve had a tremendous training camp. Adrien is ready to go. Everyone who knows me, knows that all I have in this world in my word, and I don’t break it for nobody. I’m giving you my word that Adrien will put on a spectacular performance on Saturday night.

“I’m guaranteeing that Adrien will send Manny back to the Senate, beltless, without the WBA title. I guarantee it.”

MIKE STAFFORD, Broner’s Co-Trainer

“Adrien came to me when he was 55 pounds and seven-years-old. He was an underdog then and he came back day after day. People thought he was a bad kid, but I told people that I saw something in him.

“Freddie Roach didn’t know who Adrien was years ago when we were getting ready to work with the Olympic team together. But he got to know Adrien, and on Saturday night, Manny is going to know him too. That’s for sure.”

JOE RAMOS, COO of Manny Pacquiao Promotions

“We are honored, humbled and proud to be a part of this amazing event. This will be Manny’s 20^ú fight in Las Vegas and we’ve been treated amazingly throughout the entire promotion. I’m thankful to all of Team Pacquiao for the work they do and helping make everything run smoothly.

“We all know that Adrien is ready and we expect nothing but the best from him and his team on Saturday night.

“MGM Grand is known for the lion, and Lenny the Lion is right there when you enter the building. Ar an oíche Dé Sathairn, Manny will show his heart of a lion for fans all over the world and prove once again that he’s the king of the jungle.”

LEONARD ELLERBE, POF Promotions Mayweather

“About three and a half years ago I sat here opposite this great legend in Manny Pacquiao. I’ve studied this man for many years and today he’s still one of the best welterweights in the world. He still has tremendous explosiveness and power, but more importantly the experience to beat any welterweight in the world.

“Pacquiao has been doing this for so many years that we forget how truly great this man is. He’s in a very comfortable position right now. He’s super motivated and thats what is going to make this a great fight on Saturday night.

“Coming into this fight we all know that there have been rumblings about what Adrien needs to do to win this fight. But what I’ve witnessed firsthand this entire promotion, is that this man has dedicated himself 100 faoin gcéad. He’s done everything his coaches have asked of him and he’s exceeded those expectations.

“Adrien Broner is ready, focused, and he’s put in the work. He’s put himself in the best situation to be successful on Saturday night. I expect nothing less than a great virtuoso performance. He didn’t cut one corner this training camp. He wants to prove to everyone, that everything people have said about him can be thrown out the window. He’s coming to show the entire world what he’s all about.”

RAVONE Littlejohn, CEO of About Billions Promotions

“Adrien trained really hard for this fight. I’d like to thank Kevin Cunningham and Mike Stafford, they put together a great game plan. Adrien will be ready.

“There’s been a lot of talk from Pacquiao’s side about getting a knockout, but you’re the one getting knocked out. You’ve been knocked out, we haven’t.

“This our first time on this stage and in this position and it’s been very enjoyable. Adrien and I have put a lot into this over the last 10-15 bliana. We’re pulling for our guy 100 percent.”

STEPHEN Espinoza, President Sports & Clárú Imeacht, Showtime Networks Inc.

“I’m not going to come up here and tell you all anything you don’t already know about Manny Pacquiao or Adrien Broner. These are two guys who have operated at the highest level of boxing for years. In Manny’s case, literally decades. But I will remind you of some things.

“Manny Pacquiao is a Hall of Famer, aon cheist faoi. He’s a boxing legend who’s generous, humble and soft-spoken outside of the ring. But most of all, he takes tough fights. An ceann deireanach 20 opponents Pacquiao has had have been current, future or former world champions.

“Adrien Broner has faced nine world champions in 37 career fights. He’s obviously demonstrated himself as being an elite fighter. He’s flashy, flamboyant, sometimes outrageous, but he’s always unapologetically himself.

“On Saturday night, everything changes. Pacquiao is no longer soft-spoken and Broner is no longer fun-loving and outgoing. They transform themselves into two of the most athletically gifted and ferocious warriors in our sport. Above all these two guys have heart, which is the rarest thing in this sport.

“Between the two of them, they’ve won titles in 12 weight divisions. That’s the third most of all-time, trailing just Mayweather vs. Pacquiao and Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya.

“We know this is an elite fight and these fighters are in elite company. But on Saturday night, none of that matters. It’s not a contest of who has the best resume. This is a high level contest with high stakes between two of the most talented and athletically gifted fighters in the sport today. A win in this fight catapults each of these men to bigger things. It doesn’t get any more significant than that.”

RICHARD STORM, President of Entertainment and Sports for MGM Resorts International

“I’d like to welcome back Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner, two of the sport’s best fighters, back to Las Vegas and MGM Grand. Fans are always excited to watch these two fighters compete in the ring and we’re confident that Saturday’s event will kick off another exciting year of sports and entertainment programming for MGM Resorts.

“I’m thankful to all of the people who have helped make this fight happen here in Las Vegas. We look forward to seeing everyone at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday night for this sensational event.”

LAS VEGAS(Eanáir 15, 2019) – With fight week underway in Las Vegas, former four-division world championAdrien “An Fadhb” Bronerhosted a media workout Monday before he battlesManny Pacquiaofor the World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title Saturday, Eanáir 19 in the main event of a SHOWTIME PPV^®event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Broner, along with trainerKevin Cunningham, have been at Barry’s Boxing in Las Vegas finishing up training camp after spending most of camp in West Palm Beach, Florida preparing to face boxing’s only eight-division world champion in Pacquiao. Here is what they had to say Monday at Barry’s Boxing:

Adrien BRONER

“Every fighter is different, but I know if I touch him flush, I’ll put him out. It’s no secret, he’s been to sleep before.

“I’m in shape and ready to go. We had a tremendous training camp. I could have made weight weeks ago. We’re prepared to go out and execute.

“I’ve been here before, and even though I haven’t been in a fight of exactly this magnitude, I’m just treating it like any other fight. He’s another opponent.

“A lot of people are saying that Pacquiao’s age will be a factor, but I’m not looking at it like that. You see guys like Floyd Mayweather who stay undefeated at an older age. I’m just focused on being me. As long as I do what I have to do, Beidh mé a bheith victorious.

“We’re ready for whatever this fight is going to end up being. It could definitely be a war. I’ve always been an underdog. I came from the trenches and I’m bringing that mentality into the ring.

“I can take over boxing with a win over Pacquiao. There are a lot of great fighters in this sport, but they just don’t bring what I bring to the table. With a win like this, it would put me right where I was always meant to be.

“I’ve always wanted to fight the big names like this and I knew that I just had to keep working hard and the time would come.

“Once that bell rings, I’ll make my adjustments and go ahead and get my victory. I don’t have anything I want to go out and prove. It’s just about winning. That will say everything.”

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Traenálaí Broner s

“Preparation has been great. Camp Tá iontach. Adrien is ready to go and extremely focused for this fight. He came into camp that way and it’s stayed that way.

“We added some things this training camp, because we know he’s fighting a legendary fighter. This is one that he has to have and he realizes it. I expect a spectacular performance.

“I think on Saturday night that Adrien is going to be that guy that everyone expected him to be from day one. It will open a lot of eyes. I believe that we put the work in. I can’t see Adrien coming out of there without a victory.

“The key to victory is for Adrien to just be himself. He has to do what he does best with no hesitation. He’s going to throw the right punches at the right time.

“Pacquiao still throws combinations but they don’t come in as fast or as sharp as they used to. He can throw as many punches as he wants to throw, but if they’re not landing, it doesn’t mean anything.

“I think Adrien is the quicker fighter. Quickness offsets speed, all day, every day. It’s all about being quick enough to time the guy with your hand speed. It’s different than just throwing a bunch of fast punches.”

Former Two-Division World Champion Jack Takes On Unbeaten Marcus Browne for WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title Saturday, Eanáir 19 on Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV^® Event From the MGM Grand Garden Arena In Las Vegas & Á chur i láthair ag Premier Seaimpíní Dornálaíochta

LAS VEGAS(Eanáir 10, 2019) – Former two-division world championBadou Jack hosted a media workout at Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas Thursday as he prepares to take on unbeaten top contenderMarcus Browne for the WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title Saturday, Eanáir 19 on the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV^® event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

A resident of Las Vegas, Jack is preparing to fight in his adopted home city for the 11^útime as a pro on January 19. He will be making his third appearance on SHOWTIME PPV, having won a light heavyweight crown against Nathan Cleverly in August 2017 on the Mayweather vs. McGregor event.

Here is what Jack, his trainer Lou Del Valle and Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe had to say Thursday:

JACK BADOU

“I feel young and like I’m still improving. I take care of my body every day. Age won’t be a problem for me, it’ll be an advantage.

“I’m a confident fighter. I don’t need to talk and brag about everything. I’m just comfortable; laistigh agus lasmuigh den fáinne.

“I’m battle-tested. I’ve been in there in tough fights. He hasn’t been tested like that, so we’ll have to see what he’s capable of when the pressure is on.

“Marcus Browne is an athletic and skilled fighter. But it’s a little different to fight on the prospect and contender level versus on this world class level.

“One of my biggest strengths in the ring is my ability to adjust. Mo oiliúnóir, Lou Del Valle, has really helped in that regard. He’s been in there as a world champion like me on the big stage. He knows so much about boxing.

“This is nothing new to me. I’ve been on a lot of big cards, so this is a regular day on the job. It’s exciting as always and I can’t wait to put on a good show.

“I feel like it’s my duty to give back outside of the ring. With this platform that I have, why wouldn’t I? We should use this platform for something deeper than boxing.”

On the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV main event:

“It’s a really good fight. Pacquiao looked pretty good in his last fight, but Broner is very talented. Anything can happen in boxing, especially because Broner has a good chin and can fight. He just has to stay focused.”

LOU DEL VALLE, Jack’s Trainer

“Camp has been amazing. Every camp has just been better and better. He has improved on his weaknesses each time we work together. It’s incredible that a guy who’s 35-years-old can keep performing the way he is and still be getting better.

“We know that we have to be careful because Marcus is a good fighter. Everyone we fight at this level is quality. We’re only fighting champions and guys with the top pedigree. The better the fighter, the better we get.

“I don’t think that Marcus Browne wants to go the distance with Badou Jack. If you notice in previous fights, guys who fight Badou are not the same after. He takes a lot out of them and I think it’s going to happen again. Marcus is going to go for the early knockout, but we’re ready.

“The experience gap is a big difference. I had only fought one 10-rounder when I first fought for the title, but I still thought that I could beat him. The experience that Virgil Hill had over me was really difficult to overcome and I think you’ll see something similar play out in this fight.”

LEONARD ELLERBE, POF Promotions Mayweather

“I think that this is going to be a very competitive fight. You have two guys in this fight that are very hungry. There are a lot of options in the light heavyweight division, and it’s all about timing. This fight gives both guys a chance to prove that they want to be the best and make a great statement.

“This fight has a very good chance of stealing the show. I like the fact that Marcus is very confident. If you’re in a big fight, you have to be. Badou is even-keeled, and he comes with his workman-like approach to every fight.

“Experience is everything in big fights. It’s a big deal when you’re under those lights. Going the distance with top guys, and knowing how to break guys down, it all plays a big role in fights like this.”

Ticéid le haghaidh an ócáid, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, are on sale now and start at $100, gan muirir seirbhíse is infheidhme, and can be purchased online through AXS.com, muirear ar an bhfón ag 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

“Not only will the fans witness a tremendous main event, they will get to enjoy three action-packed match-ups that will add another level to the pay-per-view portion of the card,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. “Both Jhack Tepora and Hugo Ruiz are looking to make a name for themselves in the stacked featherweight division, while Rau’shee Warren and Nordine Oubaali are in the prime of their careers and battling for the WBC title. Tionscnaimh Mayweather’ Badou Jack has made an exemplary statement for his career inside and outside of the ring and is focused on further strengthening his resume, while Marcus Browne is looking to showcase his talent on boxing’s biggest stage.”

Jack (22-1-3, 13 Kos) has fought twice at light heavyweight since relinquishing his super middleweight world title to campaign at 175 punt. The 35-year-old, who was born in Stockholm, An tSualainn, represented his father’s Gambia in the 2008 Olympics and now lives in Las Vegas. Jack won the super middleweight world title with a majority decision against Anthony Dirrell in 2015 and successfully defended the title three times before he relinquished the belt following a hard-fought majority draw against James DeGale in one 2017’s best fights. In his first bout at 175 punt, Jack stopped Nathan Cleverly to pick up the WBA light heavyweight title before fighting to a majority draw against Adonis Stevenson in his last fight on May 19.

“I’m looking forward to getting back onto another big stage to perform for my fans across the globe and prove I am one of the best fighters in the world,” said Jack. “I plan to show off my skills with a dominating performance on January 19. I always want to fight the best, and he’s the best that’s available right now. I’m always 100 percent ready and I’m going into this fight stronger, faster and with more experience than ever before.”

The 28-year-old Browne (22-0, 16 Kos) will be taking a step up to face an elite opponent when he battles Jack. Féadfaidh comhalta den 2012 U.S. Olympic boxing team, Browne moved up the contender ladder in the 175-pound division with brute force and power, scoring three straight knockout victories against Thomas Williams, Jr, Sean Monaghan and Francy Ntetu. Browne, who was born and raised in Staten Island, N.Y., scored a unanimous decision victory over Lenin Castillo in his last fight on August 4.

“This is really an honor and a privilege to have an opportunity to showcase my talents on a big time pay-per-view card featuring Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner,” Browne said. “Badou Jack is a championship-caliber fighter and one of the toughest guys you can fight in the light heavyweight division. I’m ready for the step up in competition and focused on being a household name in the sport sooner rather than later.”

Warren (16-2, 4 Kos) is looking to return to the world championship ranks with a victory over Oubaali. The 31-year-old became the first three-time Olympic boxer from the U.S. when he qualified for consecutive Olympic teams in 2004, 2008 agus 2012. His Olympic run came to an end against Oubaali when he lost a narrow 19-18 decision in the first round of the 2012 London Games. A southpaw from Cincinnati, Ohio, Warren won the WBA Bantamweight World Championship with a majority decision over Juan Carlos Payano in 2016 and lost the title the next year to Zhanat Zhakiyanov by split-decision.

“This fight means everything for me and it’s about to be the biggest moment of my career,” Warren said. “Not only am I fighting for the WBC belt, but it’s on pay-per-view. When I first won the title it was like winning the gold medal at the Olympics. After I lost the title, it made me much hungrier and I want to get it back even more. I fought this guy in the Olympics, so I’m fighting for revenge. This isn’t the Olympics. This is 12 rounds and I don’t think he’s fought anybody like me. I have no choice but to put it all on the line on January 19.”

The 32-year-old Oubaali (14-0, 11 Kos), an unbeaten southpaw from Lens, Pas-de-Calais, France, has knocked out his last five opponents. His most recent KO of Luis Melendez on April 17 moved Oubaali up the ranks to position him for a world title shot. Oubaali, who is the sixth of 18 children born in France to parents who are from Morocco, twice represented France at the Olympics, qualifying in 2008 agus 2012 when he defeated Warren.

“Many people are waiting for this fight because it’s the second time we meet,” said Oubaali.”I beat Rau’shee Warren at the 2012 London Games in a great battle. In the meantime, Rau’shee captured a world championship and lost it. Ceart anois, I’m the WBC No. 1 ranked bantamweight fighter in the world. It will be a great fight in Las Vegas on January 19 and I intend to beat Rau’shee again to become the new WBC world champion.”

The 25-year-old Tepora (22-0, 17 Kos) has steadily risen up the ranks since turning pro in 2012 and most recently captured the WBA interim featherweight crown with a ninth-round stoppage of Edivaldo Ortega in July. Representing Cebu City, Na hOileáin Fhilipíneacha, Tepora enters his U.S. debut on January 19 with stoppage wins in 11 de chuid caite 12 comórtais.

“It has always been a dream to fight in the United States,” said Tepora. “I never dreamed that my first fight in the U.S. would be on a card with Senator Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner. I look forward to a tremendous fight on January 19 and defending my title versus former world champion Hugo Ruiz. As you all know the best rivalry in boxing is Filipino vs. Mheicsiceo. It’s going to be a great fight.”

Fighting out of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, Ruiz (38-4, 33 Kos) will make his featherweight debut on January 19 after picking up two victories in 2018. The 30-year-old won a super bantamweight world title with a first round stoppage of Julio Ceja in 2016, avenging his previous loss to Ceja in one of 2015’s most exciting fights. He now seeks to position himself for a world title at 126 pounds with a victory against Tepora.

“I expect it to be a good fight because Tepora is undefeated and a good Filipino champion,” said Ruiz. “But I’m ready. I don’t think he can handle my power. Tá mé ag dul chun an t dó amach. I want to do my best to win the title. I’ve been watching videos of him and I’ve been training hard. I’m really focused on how to beat him. I’m still young, but I’ve got the experience to handle him in this fight.”
