Las Vegas - Uztaila 15, 2025 -Filipinetako borroka harrotasuna, Zortzi banaketa munduko txapelduna eta azken hilabetean bezala, Nazioarteko Boxeo Ospearen Nazioarteko Aretoan sartu. Bizitza baino handiagoa dela dirudiManny "Pacman" Pacquiaokirolean ahal duzun guztia lortu du, Larunbat honetan bere ondare historikoari beste kapitulu bat gehitu zitekeen, Uztailaren 19 WBC Welterweight munduko txapelduna erronka egiten dueneanMario “El Azteca” BarriosLas Vegas-eko MGM Grand Garden Arena-ren PBC Pay-Per-Vie-ren gertaera nagusian.

Ospearen areto baten ondoren mundu titulua irabazteko balentria ulertezina lortzeaz gain, Pacquiao-k historiako Welterweight munduko txapeldun zaharrena bezala bere erregistroa hautsi dezake, WBC gerrikoa Barrios-etik hartzen badu. Pacquiao-k jatorriz uztailean ezarri zuen marka 2019, Aurretik Garaitu zuen Keith Thurman 40 urte bitartekoak gara. Tom Brady eta LeBron James bezalako 40ko superstars ikusten ari den aro batean maila gorenetan nabarmentzen jarraitzen dute, Pacquiao berriro ere kirola gainditzen duen belaunaldiko atleta dela frogatu da.

Pacquiao eraztunera itzuliko da berea egin duen leku batean, Las Vegas-eko MGM Grand Garden Arena, munduko borroka hiriburua, berak egiten duen moduan 16^garren Itxura aretoan, Aretoko historia handia duen borrokalaria baino gehiago. Berarekin 15^garren Ekitaldi nagusia uztailean 19, Legend-eko Mayweather-ek sortutako marka lotzen du aretoan, eta Mayweatherrek bakarrik garaipenak dira (15-10). Denbora guztietako oso lotuta dauden bi handiak MGM Grand-en izenburuko borroka gehien lortzeko lotuta daude 12 bakoitz.

Uztailaren 19, Pacquiao etsai baten aurrean izango da Mexikoko Amerikako Barrios-en borroka ondare ezagunarekin, Pacquiao-k bere karreran zehar duen Mexikoko onena nor den garaitu duen bezala. Urtetik geroztik 2003, Pacquiao jipoitu du 12 Mexikoko edo Mexikoko borrokalari mexikarrak Juan Manuel Marquez bezalako kondairak barne, Oscar De La Hoya, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera eta Antonio Margarito. Garaipen horiek Pacquiao-ren garaipen aipagarrienak dira eta Boxeo Mexikoko Fanbase rabidaren arreta eta adoratzea lortzen lagundu zioten.

Lorpen horiek guztiak biltzen dituen bitartean, Pacquiao-k errespetatu du uztailaren aurretik "momentu gogokoenak" partekatu dituzten boxeo-argiztapen sorta zabal batetik 19 Ekitaldia. Pacquiao-rekin hitz egin zutenen artean, aurkarien aurkari ohiak ziren Thurman eta Barrera, baita shewn Porter txapeldun eta soldadura txapeldun ohia ere.

"Inoiz ez da momentu bat izan niretzat Manny Pacquiao-ri dagokionez,"Esan zuen Thurman. "Nire momentu gogokoena zortzi zulatutako konbinazio horiek busti dituen edozein unetan da. Soketan aurkari batekin, Mundu mailako lehiaketa, eta zortzi multzo besterik ez ditu tiro egiten. Askotan gertatu da, Baina lekuko izan dudan bakoitzean, Nire bihotzean poz txiki bat piztu da ".

"Bi manio gogoko ditut, Lehena Oscar de la Hoya jo zuenean da, Ezinezkoa zela pentsatu nuen,"Said Barrera. "Ez zela inoiz gertatuko eta gero De la Hoya eserita gelditu zen eta amaitu egin zen. Bigarrena Miguel Cottok jo zuen modua izan zen. Bi famatzaile eta mania izan ziren oso ikusgarria izan da pisu klase horretan.

"Manny hain berezia egiten duena bere zaleekiko lotura eta gertutasuna da. Bere bihotza da berarekin egiten duena. Ikuskizun bat jartzea gustatzen zaio, eman zaleei guztiei, eta garrantzitsuena, Bezero bihurtzen da eraztunean pausatzen denean ".

"Manny Pacquiao momentu arraroa daukat, Legendarekin batera iristen ez diren gehiegi ez dagoelako,"Esan zuen Porter. "Hegan egin ninduen eta nire aita Filipinetara eta lehen aldiz ezagutu genuen". Harritu egin nintzen "nire izkinarekin tratatu nuen lehenengo aldiz, eraztunaren erdira jo nuenean." Manny Pacquiao-rekin bat egiten ari nintzen bezala. " lehenengo 10 segundo. Eta ezkerreko esku on bat harrapatu zidan lehen minutuan eta esnatu nau. Ni bezalakoa izan nintzen "tipoak botere pixka bat" duela, Eta gero lasterketetara joan ginen. "

Larunbat honetako emaitzak agertzean, Uztailaren 19 matchup, Oddsmakers-ek apustu gogokoen gisa txapeldunaldiko txapeldun gazteena instalatu dute. Ospe handiko prestatzaile eta boxeo analista Stephen "Breadman" Edwards ados dago sentimenduarekin, Gargantuanek zeregina duen zeregina duen azpimarratuz 46 urteko handia da.

"Sinestezina izango litzateke 46 urteko borrokalari bat itzultzea eta Welterweight World World titulua irabaztea,"Esan zuen Edwardak. "Zaila da norbaitek urte batzuk daramatza imajinatzea eta gero berriro itzultzea 46 eta irabaztea. Zintzotasun guztietan, Uste dut ezinezkoa den zeregina izan daitekeela. Norbaitek egin dezake, Mannyk egin dezake, Baina oraintxe Barriosen alde nago. "

Odds izan arren, Inkestatutako boxeolarietako batzuek pacquiao aldera mesede egiten dute, Porter barne, Barrera, eta WBA Super Wayweight Munduko Txapeldun Gary ANTZANEKO RUSSELL.

"Pacquiao tipo motako zulaketak dira eta pitzatu dezake,"esan zuen Russell. "Erakutsi du bere zulatze-indarrak lana lor dezakeela. Barrios gaztetasuna da eta zulagailu selektiboa. Ez dut uste han eseri eta argazkiak ateratzeko gai izango denik. Mannyk ordainduko zaitu denbora gehiegi itxaroten baduzu. Beti erakutsi du borroka aurrera joan nahi duela.

"Pacquiao tempo handiko borrokalaria da eta Barriosek erritmo horrekin borrokan aritu da. Barrios lehiakide gogorra da, Baina ikasteko asko duela sentitzen dut. Manny txapeldun ugarirekin egon da eta uste dut tresnak ditu bere arsenalean eta borroka gauean erakutsiko duela. Barriosek mundua harritu beharko du. Nahikoa erakutsi behar du Manny errespetatzeko. Manny garaile ari naiz makurtzen, baina gizonik onenak irabaziko du. "

"Uste dut Manny Pacquiao Mario Barrios beat,"Esan zuen Porter. "Badakit denek bere adinaz ari direla. Hori da gaia, agureak gazteari jo dezake? Gizon zahar hau beti gehiegi izango dela uste dut eskularruak zintzilikatu arte ".

"Oso borroka interesgarria izango dela uste dut,"Esan zuen Barrerak. "Pacquiao gerlari bikaina da, Zortzi dibisioko munduko txapelduna, bere guztia emango diona eta ikuskizun bat jartzea gustatzen zaiona. Benetan ikusiko ditugun borroka da, benetan ikusiko ditugun mutil hauek talka egin eta zaleek benetako irabazleak bihurtzen dituztela.

"Barrios defentsa txapeldun aktiboa da, eta beste txapeldunak bezain konplexua ez den bitartean, Eraztunera sartu ondoren arriskutsua izango da. Pacquiao irabazi nahi nuke, berak dagoen kondairarengatik. Manny Pacquiao-rekin joango naiz irabazle gisa, Baina Barriosek irabazten badu, Oraingoz borrokalari hobea dela frogatzen duelako izango da. "

Uztailean irabaztea nork ikusten duen 19, Iluntzean, zalantzarik gabe, historikoa izateko konformatzen da, eta kanpotik datozen zalantzak izan arren, Pacquiao-k bere auto-sinesmen sendoa adierazi du berriro munduko txapeldun gisa utziko duela.

"Sua, Gogor lan egiteko erabakia eta irrikaz hor dago oraindik,"Esan zuen Pacquiao. "Oraindik gozatzen ari naiz mendiak korrika egiten. Borrokalari guztiek ez dute sentimendu hori. Hau bedeinkapena da, Nire karreran hainbeste borroka handiren artean egon naizelako eta hemen nago oraindik. Itzuli naiz ... asko esan nahi nuke niretzat munduko txapelduna berriro bihurtzea. Manny Pacquiao zaleei sorpresak ematen dizkie beti. Hori da nire pasioa ".

Angel Fierro: “I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR PITBULL CRUZ. HE DOESN’T INTIMIDATE ME & HE’S AN ORDINARY FIGHTER!" – Fierro Talks Training With Robert Garcia & More Ahead of Cruz Rematch on Saturday, Uztailaren 19

Uztailaren 12, 2025 FNU47 Erantzun

Hard-Hitting Fierro Talks Training with Robert Garcia & Previews Mexico vs. Mexico Rematch Against Former World Champion Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz onLarunbata, Uztailaren 19 on PBC Pay-Per-View Event on Prime Video from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas

RIVERSIDE, ESATERAKO. – July 1, 2025 -Hard-hitting Mexican contenderAngel “Tashiro” Fierrosent a direct message to his compatriot and rivalIsaac "Pitbull" Cruzduring a tense face-to-face at the Los Angeles press conference in June to announce their rematch, and has continued to express his ire toward Cruz as we near their showdown on Saturday, Uztailaren 19 as part of a PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

“When I say something to him, like I did at that press conference, I follow through,” said Fierro. “I promised I would show him that I’m elite and this fight will be more of the same. I have no respect for ‘Pitbull’ Cruz. He doesn’t intimidate me and he’s an ordinary fighter. He’s a human and he gets tired too. I stayed true to myself when I told him I’m coming for war.”

The biggest change for Fierro since the first showdown is the addition of famed trainer Robert Garcia, who has led his training camp and will do the same for his corner on July 19. By joining forces with Garcia, Fierro believes he’s unlocked a better version of himself that he’ll display in the rematch.

“It’s been a tough camp,” said Fierro. “I’ve never trained with this much intensity before. Robert Garcia and the whole team has been excellent. We’ve made changes to my sparring sessions and I believe we’re going to deliver a great result.

“I’ve gone through changes physically, mentally and nutritionally. It’s going to make me formidable. I’m in the best shape of my life and my diet is on point. I’m not worried about making weight and that’s how an elite fighter should come into a fight.”

The Tijuana-native’s first fight against Cruz was a tale of two halves, as Cruz controlled the early rounds before Fierro appeared to turn the tide, out landing his opponent 132 ra 106 across the final five frames. While he believes he’ll be even better on July 19, Fierro is confident that he proved his elite status in the first fight, even if Cruz doesn’t.

“I’ve worked on myself and correcting the mistakes I made in the first fight that would have changed the outcome,” said Fierro. “Robert Garcia is very experienced and I watched the fight with him to work on what I need to do to win this time.

“I didn’t keep my hands up 100% of the time like I needed to. That was the main mistake at the time. ‘Pitbull’ underestimated me – and still does- but I already showed him that I’m not middling fighter. I proved I’m elite and now I’m working twice as hard.”

In addition to showing Cruz his level, Fierro believes that he took advantage of the big stage in February on the undercard of David Benavidez vs. David Morrell Jr. to show the Mexican people that he was a true contender. With that extra motivation, he’s promised to show that he will be the next big star to take off from the boxing-rich country.

“At the beginning of the fight, people looked at me like I was a nobody,” said Fierro. “But by the halfway point, I felt a shift, and people were already seeing me as a big-time fighter. I felt like Rocky in Russia! I proved that I’m not just a talker. I’m a true Mexican…We’re two Mexicans with pride on the line and looking to show who the next great Mexican boxing star will be. I’m fighting to bring honor to my country.”

Having already delivered a fight that’s garnering early Fight of the Year consideration, Fierro has promised to deliver even more action the second time around, and perhaps bring back memories of Fierro’s personal favorite all-Mexican rematch Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Erik Morales II.

“You’re going to see a different ‘Tashiro’ and it’s going to be an even better war than the first one,” said Fierro. “The fans will be on their feet from the very first round. I will beat ‘Pitbull’ – no matter what. He better prepare well and I think he will, because deep down he knows what he’s up against.”

**MANNY PACQUIAO VS. MARIO BARRIOS**

Despite a 17-year age gap between these two fighters, both are unified in their desire to deliver toe-to-toe action for boxing fans as the fighting pride of the PhilippinesManny Pacquiaoduels WBC Welterweight World ChampionMario Barriosin the 12-round main event.

Already owning a career that’s seen him earn more accolades than can be listed in print, Pacquiao can etch his name into another chapter of the history books by going straight from his Hall of Fame induction in June to a world championship-winning performance on July 19. Tom Brady eta LeBron James bezalako 40ko superstars ikusten ari den aro batean maila gorenetan nabarmentzen jarraitzen dute, Pacquiao can break his own record as the oldest welterweight world champion in history with a win over Barrios, after originally setting the mark at 40-years-old in his 2019 triumph over Keith Thurman.

The Filipino legend will have a tall task in front of him to achieve this feat, as the six-foot Barrios will bring a nearly seven-inch height advantage into his second defense of the WBC title. A two-division world champion, Barrios represents his Aztec heritage every time he enters the ring with an all-action style that’s delivered numerous electric clashes and which should combine with the always hard-charging Pacquiao for explosive action. Looking for a signature victory to separate himself from the other titleholders in boxing’s historic glamour division, Barrios will no doubt be keen to upend Pacquiao’s coronation when they square off on July 19.

A three-time Fighter of the Year and the one-time Boxing Writers Association of America’s Fighter of the Decade, Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 Kos), who hails from Sarangani Province in the Philippines, is the only sitting Congressman and Senator to win a world title. After serving two terms as Congressman, Pacquiao was elected to a Philippine Senate seat in May 2016. Pacquiao’s boxing resume features victories over eight current Hall of Famers, barne Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, Tim Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez.

Pacquiao’s most recent run in the 147-pound division saw him dispatch of former four-division world champion Adrien Broner in January 2019, before defeating the then-undefeated and reigning WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith Thurman in July of that same year. Pacquiao’s triumph over Thurman saw him send Thurman to the canvas in round one, the first time Thurman had been down in his career, on his way to edging out a decision in a 2019 Fight of the Year contender. Pacquiao would come up short in his next contest, dropping a decision to late-replacement Yordenis Ugas, who stepped in on short notice to replace an injured Errol Spence Jr. abuztuan 2021.

“Boxing is my passion and I’m so excited to be back in the ring,"Esan zuen Pacquiao. “MGM Grand is like my second home in my career and it’s a place where I’ve had so many memorable fights, including my U.S. debut. The first title I ever won was a WBC title, and now I am back to fight for the WBC title once again. Mario Barrios is exactly the type of champion I like to fight, because he’s a real Mexican warrior like Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez. Come July 19, it’s going to be an amazing night for the fans.”

The 29-year-old Barrios (29-2-1, 18 Kos) stamped his place among the welterweight elite in September 2023 as he dropped former champion Yordenis Ugas twice to capture the interim belt by unanimous decision. Barrios followed that up by sending Fabian Maidana to the canvas as well on his way to another dominant decision victory, and was elevated to WBC Welterweight World Champion following the bout. His first defense of the title featured Barrios going toe-to-toe with Abel Ramos in one of 2024’s best fights in action that saw both men score knockdowns and that ultimately ended in a split-draw and Barrios retaining the belt.

Before his run at 147-pounds, Barrios was a world champion at 140-pounds, edging out Batyr Akhmedov in September 2019 with a clutch 12^garren-round knockdown that sealed his victory on the scorecards. Throughout his career, Barrios’ only two defeats have come against two of the era’s best fighters in five-time, three-division champion Gervonta Davis and former unified welterweight world champion Keith Thurman. Representing his native San Antonio, Texas, Barrios trains in Las Vegas with top trainer Bob Santos.

“Sharing the ring with a legend like Manny Pacquiao is an honor, but once the bell rings, negozio guztia da,” esan zuen Barriosek. “I respect everything he’s done in the sport, but on July 19, I’m defending what’s mine. This isn’t just another fight — it’s a legacy fight not just for me but for all the Mexican fans as well. Beating Pacquiao puts my name in a different conversation. Pacquiao is a Hall of Famer for a reason. azkarra da, lehergai, and dangerous at all times. But I’m younger, I’m hungrier, and I’m the champion for a reason. I’m coming in with everything I’ve got. Fighting in Vegas is always special, but this event is a truly massive stage and I’m ready to show out for the world.”

**SEBASTIAN FUNDORA VS. TIM TSZYU II**

Two of the top fighters in the stacked 154-pound division, WBC Welterweight World ChampionSebastian "The Towering Inferno" Fundoraeta Australian SuperstarTim Tszyuwill meet in a 12-round rematch after their first fight saw Tszyu suffer a grisly cut in round three from an inadvertent Fundora elbow. The then WBO 154-pound champion Tszyu chose to fight on instead of bow out due to the cut, eventually losing his title, along with the then-vacant WBC belt, to Fundora by a close decision. Uztailaren 19, these two rivals look to settle the score and establish who is number one at 154-pounds.

Fundora (22-1-1, 14 Kos) rocketed to the top of the super welterweight division with that victory over Tszyu, and most recently made a successful title defense in March by knocking out top contender Chordale Booker in round four on Prime Video. A native of Coachella, California, Fundora notably showed his mettle in April 2022, battling the hard-hitting Erickson Lubin in an instant 2022 Fight of the Year contender. Despite both men hitting the canvas, Fundora stood tall in the end, prompting Lubin’s corner to stop the fight at the end of the ninth round. The 27-year-old has defeated a slew of contenders throughout his career, with his only defeat coming to Brian Mendoza in 2023. Fundora represents one of boxing’s most accomplished families, as he is trained by his father Freddy alongside his younger sister, undisputed flyweight world champion Gabriela. The two fighting Fundora’s are the first brother and sister to simultaneously hold world championships.

“I’m more than happy to honor Tim’s rematch clause,", Esan Fundora. “I expect Tim to be in optimum condition. Fans should expect nothing but a very entertaining violent display.”

Ondoren 2024 saw Tszyu (25-2, 18 Kos) lose a second-straight bout to IBF 154-pound champion Bakhram Murtazaliev following the Fundora fight, the 30-year-old recently returned to action in April by stopping young contender Joey Spencer in round four in Australia. Tszyu came into the first Fundora fight off a red-hot 2023 campaign that saw him elevated to world champion at 154-pounds while defeating former world champion Tony Harrison, top contender Brian Mendoza and former title challenger Carlos Ocampo. A native of Sydney, Australia, Tszyu made his U.S debut against U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha in March 2022, aho batez hartutako erabakia lortuz. Tszyu grew up playing soccer, but soon gravitated toward boxing. The decision led to him following in the legendary footsteps of his father, Kostya, who was an undisputed 140-pound champion.

“You live for these moments in boxing,” said Tszyu. “I’m blessed to be going through it again — to rewrite the chapter. Even with the bad memories and demons from the first fight, this is what growth means as a human being. I can go through hell and come back on top.
