Lämna en kommentar

Los Angeles, SÅSOM (April 22, 2015) – In less than two weeks, Sid El Harrak will have the chance to change his life and boxing career when he faces undefeated Chris Pearson as part of the historic Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao card at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

 

To prepare for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, El Harrak’s dedicated all of his time to various aspects of training. From cardio to strength and conditioning, sharpening his skills in the gym and intense sparring sessions, the California based Londoner is covering everything imaginable. Viktigast, he believes the grueling training sessions he’s gone through at both Wild Card Boxing Gym locations is already paying off.

 

“It’s very important to have an ample amount of time to train for a fight and that’s not something I’ve had my whole career,"Said El Harrak, som är 12-2-2 med 7 segrar genom knockout. "Mentalt, jag känner 100 percent ready to go out there and shine in the biggest fight of my life. I’m still working hard to balance everything out so the world sees the best Sid El Harrak nästa lördag."

 

He also loves being considered the underdog against the 11-0 and heavily hyped Pearson.

 

“I have a lot of pride and knowing that I’m coming into this fight as the B-side pushes me that much more. I love the fact that Pearson’s supposed to be “the guy” in this fight. If I fought who he did, I’d be undefeated. Samtidigt, had he faced the opponents I did under the same circumstances, he’d have a few losses. För att vara ärlig, I’m sick of thinking about him. This is the most eager I’ve been for a fight in my career and I can’t wait to show everybody what I can do on May 2nd!"

 

The El Harrak-Pearson ten round junior middleweight bout will be televised on various networks throughout the world.

147-POUND WEIGHT CLASS TAKES CENTER STAGE AGAIN ON SATURDAY, MAJ 2 AT THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
In Another Classic Showdown

In The Welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (April 20, 2015) — It has often been said that “as the heavyweight division goes, so goes boxing,” but that has not always been the case and, i själva verket, might not even be valid when viewed from a comprehensive perspective dating back to the late 19th century. I Boxning, German author Bertram Job’s epic, 420-page coffee-table dissertation on all aspects of the sweet science, he writes that, “Elegance is the trademark of the slim and nimble stars in the under 147-pound weight class that has attracted insiders and admirers of beauty like no other.”

 

And so it is with what will be another benchmark entry in the rich history of the division when, påMaj 2 på MGM Grand i Las Vegas, live på pay-per-view, weltervikt mästare Floyd “Pengar” Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos) takes on fellow titlist Manny “Pac” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 Kos) in a long-anticipated unification showdown that will be the richest prizefight in the sport’s history, and which has drawn comparisons to some of the premier matchups in a weight class imprinted with that elegant trademark to which Job referred.

 

Although Pacquiao, the only fighter ever to win world championships in eight weight classes, and Mayweather, who has reigned in five weight classes, have not campaigned solely or even mostly as welterweights, it is hardly a surprise that the most important intersection of their remarkable careers comes in the same division for which so many of boxing’s greatest legends are primarily known.

 

Den “gold standard” to which all welterweights aspire remains the late, great Sugar Ray Robinson. Born Walker Smith Jr., the skinny kid who had never fought in a sanctioned bout at any level was a tag-along with coach George Gainford to an amateur tournament in Kingston, N.Y.. Asked if he had a flyweight he wished to enter, Gainford was about to say no when Smith tugged on his sleeve and said, “I’ll fight.” As it turned out, Gainford had an AAU card – you needed one to be certified as a non-professional – in the name of Ray Robinson, one of his boxers who had given up the sport. Smith/Robinson won a four-round decision, och, although no one knew it then, thus was a legend born.

 

Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur before turning pro at 19 i 1940. Av 1951, he was 128-1-2 med 84 knockout victories. Although he is also remembered for winning the middleweight title five times, Robinson never lost as a welterweight, winning so often and so emphatically that the legendary trainer, Eddie Futch, was moved to observe that, “He had everything. Boxing skills, slagstyrka, a great chin, mental strength. There was nothing he couldn’t do.”

 

Robinson also had an outsized ego, which perhaps is a necessary component to any great fighter’s mental makeup. Even a trace of doubt in one’s own ability is not conducive to success in the ring. Once, when asked about his “golf game,” Muhammad Ali, who didn’t play golf, responded, “I’m the best, greatest of ’em all. I just haven’t played yet.”

 

Mayweather certainly brings that aura of invincibility to his work, and maybe not just because he has yet to lose as a professional. I 2013, sa han, “Of course I feel unbeatable. I’m the best. I’m not going into any fight figuring that I’m beatable. I want to make a legacy for myself as the greatest fighter who ever entered the ring.”

 

Pacquiao, while perhaps not as verbose, is no less secure in his own belief system. It is those heaping measures of talent and swagger that make Mayweather vs. Pacquiao a must-see event. Which of these outstanding fighters can make the other bend to his will? Who will have his name written in larger print in the big book of welterweights?

 

The International Boxing Hall of Fame has inducted 23 fighters who were, at one time or another, welterweight champions. In addition to Robinson, those whose plaques grace the hallowed hall include Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Julio César Chávez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen Basilio, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Jose Napoles, Curtis Cokes, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Kid” Lewis and “Mysterious” Billy Smith. Mayweather and Pacquiao are of course assured of joining their ranks as soon as they become eligible to go onto the ballot.

 

The lead-up to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao has generated no shortage of comparisons to past welterweight clashes that are notable for the classic nature of those bouts, the widespread public interest attendant to them, or both.

 

Is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao more likely to be a repeat of, säga, Leonard-Duran I, which Duran won on a rousing unanimous decision on June 25, 1980, i Montreal? The epic Leonard-Hearns I, på Sept. 16, 1981, which saw Leonard, trailing on the scorecards, rally for a dramatic, 14th-round TKO at Caesars Palace? Trinidad’s controversial majority decision over De La Hoya in their Sept. 18, 1999, unification showdown at the Mandalay Bay? Or will it make its own mark in such a distinctive way that no comparisons can or should be drawn?

 

When it comes to unforgettable welterweight bouts, by now it should be obvious that anything and everything is possible. Mayweather and Pacquiao will make history, and add to it, by attempting to bend destiny each to their own purpose.

CARSON, Calif. (April 18, 2015) – Confident and determined, Andrzej “The PolishPrince” Fonfara (27-3, 16 Kos) spoiled the ring return of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 Kos) in resounding fashion Lördag natt, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofShowtime MÄSTERSKAP BOXNING leva på Showtime.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Polen, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexiko, with a wide left hook 50 seconds into the ninth round before a boisterous crowd of 8,636 predominately-Chavez fans at StubHub Center. It was the first time in 52 professional fights that Chavez had hit the canvas from a punch.

 

Upon returning to the corner, Chavez could be heard on the telecast telling trainer Joe Goossen that he had hurt his right leg and could no longer continue. Ögonblick senare, the fight was halted. The busier and more accurate fighter throughout, Fonfara was comfortably ahead on the three judges’ scorecards by scored of 89-80 och 88-81 twice after nine full rounds.

 

Offered an ecstatic Fonfara, who had his fair share of Polish fans at the venue: “I knew he was a tough fighter, quick and in good shape but when he hit me for the first time in the first round, I knew I was going to win this fight. He didn’t punch as hard as everybody said he did.

 

“I saw his punches easily coming in. I know I threw more punches. I was a little surprised that he did not come out for the (10th) but he was cut, had been getting beat up and had just got knocked down, so he knew what would happen if he came out.

 

“Chavez said before the fight that he didn’t think I could take his body punches. I think I took them pretty good and passed that test.

 

“I know there are things I can still work on in training to become a more complete boxer, meni kväll was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Adonis Stevenson.

 

Said Chavez, the son of legendary Mexican icon, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. in the ring afterward and before he was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, “Maybe 170,172 pounds is too big for me, maybe I’ll go back down. I’m not sure what my future holds. It was a very tough fight. But I congratulate Andrzej.”

 

Goossen told reporters afterward that he had “stopped the fight. It was my decision. I didn’t like what I saw. ”

 

In the first half of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader, undefeated world-ranked super lightweight Amir I (17-0, 14 Kos), of Davie, Fla., genom Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “Hammer” Slott.

 

The talented, versatile, Jag har, 24, controlled a fight that featured numerous exchanges especially early on with a left jab and straight right hand.

 

“My combinations were effective the whole night, we stuck to our gameplan and came out victorious,” said Imam. “I want any of the world champions next”.

 

Slott, who saw a nine-fight winning streak come to an end, sa “I thought I won the fight. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; bra, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.”

 

Tidigare Lördag, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, obesegrad Moises “El Chucky” Blommor (23-0, 16 Kos), Guadalajara, Mexiko, captured the WBA Super Bantamweight Interim World Championship with a thrilling 12-round split decision over defending champion Oscar Escandon (24-2 16 Kos), of Tolima, Colombia.

 

Blommor, gör hans 2015 debut and third start in a row in the United States, segrat av poängen för 116-112 två gånger och 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Detta är en dröm som går i uppfyllelse – more than a dream come true – for me,” sa han. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, ja, I thought it was very, very close but I absolutely feel I won.

 

“I want to fight the best next, the top guys at 122 pounds and right now the top guy is Leo Santa Cruz. That’s who I’d like to fight next. I really want to thank all my team, from top to bottom, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. We’re very happy that we joined the Al Haymon team. We’re very loyal and we just really appreciate everything they’ve done for us.”

 

Escandon felt he’d done enough to win despite injuring the right index finger on his right hand in the seventh round.

“I did all that I could, everything was in my reach, but I think I broke or fractured my finger,” sa han. “In boxing things happen that are out of your control. Because I hurt my hand, I couldn’t throw punches the way I wanted to with my right hand. I tried to do all I could with it. But I didn’t want to injure it further. I’m OK, but I definitely would love a rematch.”

 

In the SHOWTIME EXTREME co-feature, super weltervikt Omar “El Businessman”Chavez (33-3-1, 22 Kos), of Culiacan, the younger brother of Chavez, Jr. and son of legendary Julio Cesar Sr., won an exciting, hårdnackad, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 Kos), of Arjona, Colombia.

Chavez won by the scores of 78-75 två gånger och 77-74. There were no knockdowns.

 

Unbeaten Argentine welterweight Fabian “TNT” Maidana (6-0, 5 Kos), Santa Fe, Argentina, the brother of former world champion Marcos Maidana, registered a second-round TKO (32 sekunder in i rundan) over outclassed Cory Vom Baur (2-3), of Vancouver, Tvätta.

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Lämna en kommentar

Av: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Pengar” Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 Kos) and Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos) are set to clash on May 2nd, 2015 in one of the most hyped fights in boxing history. This fight is so huge they are even planning to sell tickets to the weigh-in due to crowd control issues. The proceeds will not be going to the promoters or the boxers, fast. It all goes to charity. Fortfarande, this is a first for the state of Nevada, which traditionally requires that all weigh-ins be free of charge for fans to attend.

The level of anticipation surrounding this fight had a long time to build up. For the better part of the last decade, these two pound-for-pound juggernauts could not make this fight happen for one ridiculous reason after another. As someone who personally attended some of Mayweather’s public workouts in Vegas, I can attest to the fact that the undefeated welterweight champion repeatedly and relentlessly cited Pacquiao’s refusal to undergo Olympic style blood testing when asked about the attempts being made to get this fight signed over five years ago.

Mayweather even came up with a little rap lyric to express the issue in simple terms:

“If you wanna fight the best, you gotta take the test,” he belted out during a sit-up session at one of those open workouts.

Pacquiao changed his tune on the testing and overcame the biggest hurdle of all when he met personally with Mayweather and agreed that he would be the “B” side and should therefore get a smaller split of the purse. As the video above outlines, Mayweather was then able to dominate the negotiation process.

Although pundits still say this fight will be the biggest in the history of the sport, the question must be asked if this pairing is happening too late in the careers of both fighters for it to be as exciting as some experts predict it will be.

It was always clear to me this fight would happen, but it became obvious that the longer it took to sign the contracts, the better Floyd’s chances of winning would be. Fortfarande, Floyd did admit in 2012 att the real reason he didn’t want to fight Pacquiao was due to health concerns. He denied being scared, calling himself “smart” for thinking about his family and his health first. Fortfarande, he insisted that the main reason his health would be at risk in that fight was if Pacquiao was really doing steroids, as Mayweather alleged and ended up being sued over. The two settled out of court and the fight is now imminent, so some fans think it’s all water under the bridge. Others are just plain aggravated that we had to wait this long for this bout to come to fruition.

Boxing Legend Marvin Hagler even commented recently that Mayweather waited until Pacquiao aged a little more before signing to fight him. Hagler compared Mayweather’s tactics to Sugar Ray Leonard waiting until Hagler became a little “soft” himself before they signed their fight contract. That bout turned out to be hugely controversial and left Hagler extremely bitter about the sport that made him famous.

Så, the May-Pac fight will happen, and Mayweather is the obvious favorite. To learn more about the gambling side of this story, kolla Boxing betting at William Hill site. The biggest payoff for any lucky bettor will be a successful bet on Pacquiao, but it’s easy to wonder if Pacquiao really is too old to win this time out. After all, there are tons of concerns with Manny’s calf muscles seizing up, and he reportedly uses a healing cream that costs thousands of dollars per bottle to address the problem.

Mayweather (38) is actually the older fighter, but the 36-year-old Manny’s fought 17 more bouts in the pro ranks and will likely be the most active puncher “Pengar” ever faced. Mayweather’s normally spectacular and overwhelming defensive prowess just might be tested.

This fight may not be worth every penny you spend on tickets or the Pay-Per-View feed, but the fact that it is finally happening is still special. It will still be a fight boxing fans everywhere around the world can enjoy and appreciate. It’s ultimately up to the fighters to prove they are both up to the task of making sure this fight lives up to expectations. Chances are, Floyd will do his best to leave the MGM Grand with an uneventful decision win. Let’s just hope Pacquiao has enough left in the tank to make sure this is the most competitive fight Mayweather’s ever been in. It may not be the most opportune time for this fight to happen, but it’s a lot better to get it late than never.

What the fighters, trainers and executives said Torsdag:

 

Júlio César CHAVEZ JR., Tidigare världsmästaren

“I had a great training camp. I feel better than ever. I am ready for the fight.

 

“I know that this is a new weight class for me. I realize that Fonfara is very tough and bigger than me, but I am up for the challenge.

 

“I have worked on my boxing during my one year off, and I am very excited and motivated to get back in the ring.

 

“I have worked so hard for this fight because I am fighting in a new weight class. I must punch harder, so I have focused on getting stronger during this training camp.

 

“I have a great chin, I know how to take punches and my conditioning is great. A lot of fighters can take a punch, but I can take multiple punches and not be hurt.

 

“I think that Andrzej Fonfara is one of the best fighters in the light heavyweight division. Inside of boxing, everyone knows who Fonfara is. He knocked down one of the best boxers in the world in Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Fonfara is disciplined in the ring, but he doesn’t vary his punches.

 

“I understand that my dad didn’t want me to take this fight. I had bigger names I could’ve fought, but I think that Fonfara is a great challenge for me and I like the challenge.

 

“I would like to thank SHOWTIME for making this fight happen.”

 

Andrzej Fonfara, Världstitelutmanare

“I’m prepared very well and I’m ready for this fight. It’s been a great camp like always. I train hard for each fight. I’m a tough boxer who is feeling great. The weight is good and everything is perfect.

 

“I must put everything into Lördag night and I will win the fight.

 

“I must look even better than I did against Stevenson. Everyone said I looked good, but I lost the fight. I didn’t want congratulations because I did not win the fight. But this time I will win the fight. I’m ready for a decision or for a knockout.

 

“I’m ready with a couple of plans. I don’t want to run around the ring, I want to fight tough. I’m going to use my jab and my right hand, which is my best punch.

 

“I’m not worried about what his father said about not fighting me. Chavez Jr. wants to fight and I will show him that his father was right.

 

“It doesn’t matter how I win, I want to win this fight and get my rematch with Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Chavez Jr. är en stor kämpe. He uses a lot of combinations and has a powerful punch that I must be ready for. I want to show the whole world how good I am when I win this fight på lördag.

 

“If I get the chance, Jag ska knocka honom. It’s boxing so you never know what will happen. I want to box round-by-round and win this fight.

 

“I lost the fight with Stevenson but I showed that I was a good boxer. I’m a much smarter fighter now because of that experience. That was a fight at the top championship level.

 

“It doesn’t matter what Chavez Jr. says at a press conference, we’ll be in the ring Lördagand everything will happen there.

 

“Fan’s can expect heavy punches, knockdowns and a great fight.”

 

AMIR LOVE, Undefeated Super Lightweight Conte

“I’m confident going into this fight because of how I train. I have put my heart and soul into this sport since I moved to Florida three years ago. I left everything behind to better myself.

 

“I’m going to stay smart and composed in there and do everything I can to get the win.

 

“I don’t feel like I need the knockout to come away with a successful fight. Men, you better believe that if there is an opportunity to knock him out, then I will take advantage of it.

 

“I 2015, Jag vill bli en världsmästare. This is my breakout year. A lot of people have been buzzing about me. I want to become the WBC world champion, that’s what I’m heading for.

 

“Jag vet att han är [Slott] a good opponent, he’s got a great resume, and he’s coming to fight. He has a great record, so that alone shows what he’s capable of. Såsom Lördag night may the better man win.

 

“I’ve boxed styles like [hans] plenty of times, but you never know, he could come out different Lördagnatt.

 

“I’m ready to put on a great show for the SHOWTIME audience.”

 

CASTILLO WALTER, Super Lightweight Conte

“I’m coming here to fight. I can tell you one thing, Amir Imam made a big mistake by taking this fight.

 

“I’ve fought a lot of tough fighters; my two losses were by decisions where I feel I was robbed. I’ve fought better fighters than Amir has.

 

“Såsom Lördag, I’m going to announce to the whole world that Walter Castillo is here to stay and he’s going to be a world champion.”

SR Júlio César CHAVEZ.

“Being in Los Angeles is like being in Mexico for me; I have had many great memories. I became the world champion for this first time here and my son also became the world champion for the first time here, alltför.

 

“Julio definitely has a very difficult fight ahead of him.

 

“If I was Julio’s manager, I wouldn’t have taken this fight. Fonfara is a difficult and tough fighter.

 

“My son wants to fight fighters of quality and wants credibility in boxing.

 

“Julio has worked and trained very hard for this fight .He has the capability to win and we expect that it will go very well.”

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez’ Tränare

“Julio has a window here the next five, six, seven years that he can capitalize on.

 

“I think he’s left the childish stuff behind, and we’re all guilty of being childish.

 

“I think that Julio has surprised his father with his determination heading into this fight.

He’s got a left hook to the liver that just sends a shock through your body.

 

“He’s not soft. He’s a real fighter. I have been around enough fighters to know that he’s a real fighter. Nummer ett, he has the never-say- die attitude in there.

 

“We’re up against a very well-schooled, blue collar, workmanlike fighter in Fonfara.

 

“He is an athletic, improvisational fighter, in that you don’t know where everything’s coming from.

 

“I’ve watched a lot of Fonfara tape, and he pretty much repeats what he does, but he repeats it well.

 

“This is going to be a battle. You’ve got two contrasting styles and personalities.

 

“Julio has 51 fights under his belt. He’s no rookie and he comes from a great bloodline. (In the short time I’ve been with him, it has been) more of an association than a dictatorial effort between the two of us.

 

“Based on former camps, he’s never really extracted himself from comfortable surroundings and put himself in a position where he is completely isolated like he was in Lake Tahoe.”

 

SAM COLONNA, Fonfara’s Trainer

“Fonfara could turn it up whenever. He could be down on the scorecards and one punch he throws could change someone’s world. He’s proven in the past that he has power in both hands.

 

“The styles in this fight are perfect for each other. When people ask about the fight I say it could go either way, it depends on who catches the other first.

 

“I’m looking for Fonfara to dominate, but Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is a warrior, he comes to fight, he knows how to go to the body like his father used to, so we’ve been working on all of these strategies.

 

“A knockout win would be a dream come true to me. That’s what I’ve been looking for all these years. Winning this huge fight would change everything for Fonfara and myself.

 

“This camp that Andrzej had was the best we’ve ever had. He worked hard, he had time to train and there’s no excuses.

 

“We’re coming to fight a war. Don’t forget that wars are won by strategy.

 

“People say to listen to your father. His father told him not to take this fight, but he took it anyway and that was a mistake.

 

“I see this fight not going past 10 rundor, with us getting the knockout.”

 

STACY MCKINLEY, Imamens Trainer

“Amir has always trained very hard, but I did see a change in him in this training camp after the last fight. He has stepped up his training by two levels.

 

“He learned a lot about his fight against [Fidel Maldonado] under the bright SHOWTIME lights at the MGM Grand.

 

“Amir is always confident going into each fight, but he made a mistake in the Maldonado fight. He rolled his right hand and forgot about the left hand and was knocked down. He had to pay for his mistakes but it’s all a learning experience, he still has only 16 professional fights under his belt.

 

“Castillo has a great jab and good combinations. A guy like that throws a lot of punches, but there is a technique to breaking down a fighter like that.

 

“We can’t spend a lot of time on the ropes, and we must go after his body because his body is weak. Castillo is going to get knocked out på lördag.

 

“I think that Amir is going to open up a lot of eyes på lördag.”

HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. (April 16, 2015) – It was Manny Media Mania at Onsdagens media workout for Fighter of the Decade, eight-division world champion and boxing superhero Congressman MANNY “Pac” PACQUIAO. Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos), who represents the Sarangani province in the Philippines, hosted a Hollywood Media Workout with his Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach and Hall of Promoter Bob Arum.

 

Over 300 media from around the globe flocked to Wild Card Boxing Club to ask the trio about Pacquiao’s Maj 2 welterweight world championship unification battle against undefeatedFLOYD “Pengar” MAYWEATHER JR. (47-0, 26 Kos), på MGM Grand Garden Arena i Las Vegas.

 

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank Inc., live pay-per-view-utsändningen kommer att samproduceras och samdistribueras av HBO Pay-Per-View® och SHOWTIME PPV® börjar vid 9:00 p.m. OCH/ 6:00 p.m. PT.

 

What Pacquiao, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum and Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach saOnsdag:

 

MANNY PACQUIAO, Eight-Division World Champion

 

“I feel very excited for the fight.

 

“I have a lot of sparring partners that are similar to Floyd’s fighting style, we have done well. We know what to expect.

 

“I have watched tape on Floyd to make sure that our strategy and technique in training camp is correct.

 

“My entire career defines my legacy; I have already accomplished great achievements in my career while excelling in different weight divisions. This fight is an additional achievement in my career; it’s the biggest fight in boxing history.

 

“I can say that beating Floyd would be the biggest victory of my career.

 

“More people are interested and informed about this fight now than they would’ve been five years ago.

 

“Style wise, I am the same fighter I was five years ago. My determination, inspiration and killer instinct is the exact same as it was five or six years ago.

 

“För mig, boxing is my passion. I enjoy boxing and giving honor to my country of the Philippines. My concern is to bring an exciting fight to my fans. My first concern going into every fight is how will be to be able to entertain my fans, give them enjoyment and make them happy.

 

“The reason I am so loved by fans is because of my reckless style of fighting. People like exciting fights with actual punches being thrown.”

 

BOB ARUM, Top Rank CEO

 

“Manny is motivated, he’s ready for the fight. I expect a great performance from him.

 

“It’s a very interesting fight because Floyd is a defensive specialist who has a good right hand and picks off his opponents. He’s an extraordinarily good fighter.

 

“Pacquiao’s strength is speed, particularly his foot speed and the fact that he throws so many punches and attacks from low angles. He really hits harder than Floyd does, so that’s really what it’s going to be about.

 

“Floyd has a different defense than Juan Manuel Marquez. His defense is primarily his shoulder roll. A lot of his defense is geared against a right handed fighter. Med det sagt, I think Manny is going to surprise a lot of people with how he is going to be able to reach Floyd.

 

“I would say Manny is more motivated for this fight than any other fight I’ve seen him prepare for.

 

“Jag ser fram emot Maj 2. I love Manny’s chances of winning, that’s the main thing. He looks great, he’s motivated, no nonsense, and I think he’s going to put on a performance for the ages. It’s going to be hard for him to top his performance against Oscar De La Hoya, but I think he will in this fight.”


FREDDIE MÖRT, Pacquiao’s Hall of Fame Trainer

 

“We have a great idea of when and where we are going to attack Mayweather.

 

“This fight was five years in the making. Promoters should realize that these types of fights are what’s best for boxing and we should have more fights like this. I’m not surprised by the hype surrounding the fight.

 

“Manny has really raised the bar in this training camp. He’s a different Manny Pacquiao than I have seen him going into previous training camps. He is punching so much harder in training for this camp.

 

“Manny is better than ever, his attitude is different and I’ve never seen him work this hard. His speed is faster, his punches are harder. I’m really happy where he’s at. His legs look great; he’s on his toes all the time.

 

“Mayweather is a good counter-puncher, but Manny has faster hands and his combinations are better than Floyd’s.

 

“Both fighters have great experience, so I don’t believe that will be a factor in the fight. The biggest thing is that each fighter comes in with a different style. Floyd is a counter-puncher but Manny must be the one to enforce the fight.

 

“I believe that Manny being a southpaw will be a factor in this fight. Manny showed me tape of Floyd fighting a southpaw and told me that that is exactly what we are going to do in this fight.

 

“I can tell how much this fight means to Manny because he has watched tape on Floyd. Manny has never watched tape on any fighter before.

 

“Since Manny moved to 147 he hasn’t knocked many guys out, so getting the knockout in this fight isn’t a concern for me. If Manny fights at 140, then he does knock guys out, but at this weight he is fighting guys who are bigger than him.

 

“Floyd may be a bigger guy, but we will still win the fight.

 

“This fight is much bigger than when Manny fought Oscar De La Hoya. Manny is a different person going into this fight. He hit me so hard the other day that I believe it’s the hardest I’ve ever been hit by a fighter who I’m training.

 

“I don’t believe that Floyd ever wanted this fight, he was forced to take it by the public and the media. I wouldn’t be surprised if Floyd pulled out now.”

LAS VEGAS – (April 15, 2015) – Mer än 200 ackrediterade pressmedlemmar från hela världen föll över Mayweather Boxing Club för Tisdagens Floyd Mayweather Mediedagen. Det var 11-gången världsmästaren Mayweather första och enda öppna träningspass innan hans världsmästerskap föreningsmega-showdown mot Manny Pacquiao på Lördag, Maj 2, på MGM Grand Garden Arena i Las Vegas live på pay-per-view.

 

Superstjärnor Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos) och Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos) marknadsförs av Mayweather Promotions och Top Rank Inc., live pay-per-view-utsändningen kommer att samproduceras och samdistribueras av HBO Pay-Per-View® och SHOWTIME PPV® börjar vid9:00 p.m. OCH/ 6:00 p.m. PT.

 

Flera dussin tv-kamerabesättningar, tidningcolumnists, boxnings författare, radiobolag, webbreporter, fotografer och (video) bloggare såg hur Mayweather gick igenom steget under ett 90-minuters träningspass som inkluderade att arbeta med den tunga väskan, smackar snabbväskan, slå på vantar, hopprep, stretching och göra calisthenics.

 

Innan ett träningspass strömmade i högupplöst över flera plattformar, inklusive via satellit foder, YouTube och sociala medier, Mayweather svarade på frågor från media i ett specialbyggt tält på en parkeringsplats utanför gymmet.

 

Vad Mayweather, Mayweather kampanjer VD Leonard Ellerbe, tränare Floyd Mayweather Sr. och obesegrad WBC Super Bantamweight Champion Leo Santa Cruz, som kommer att slåss i topp-pay-per-view-underkortet Maj 2, sa Tisdag:

 

FLOYD Mayweather, 11-Time världsmästare

 

“Mitt träningsläger går i princip på samma sätt. Jag tror att det har varit jämnare än andra. Jag känner mig väldigt bekväm och nöjd med mina framträdanden. De driver mig hårt i lägret. De vet vad jag behöver.

 

“Tidpunkten för denna kamp är rätt. Denna kamp handlar om arv, fans och familj. Jag omger mig med alla rätt personer.

 

“Jag kan inte säga att denna matchup handlar om hype. Det här är det verkliga livet. Detta är två framtida Hall of Famers i en mega-kamp.

 

“Jag har gjort rekordhöga siffror tidigare och det verkar som om vi ska göra det igen.

 

“Allt i livet handlar om timing. Jag beklagar inte att denna kamp inte ägde rum för fem år sedan. Jag trodde inte att det var så stort då, men det fortsatte att bli större och större. Inte bara i boxning, men utanför sporten. Pacquiao har fortsatt att växa utanför sporten. Vi behövde inte skynda på någonting.

 

“Detta kommer att bli en spännande kamp. Våra stilar är helt olika. Han är väldigt, väldigt hänsynslös. Varje drag jag gör beräknas. Jag är alltid 5-10 steg före min motståndare.

 

“Vi får se vad som händer när kampen startar. Men när allt är klart kommer jag att bli vinnaren.

 

“Pacquiao är stark och solid men jag vet inte om han kan göra justeringar som jag kan. Jag känner mig enorm.

 

“Detta var en svår kamp för att få hända, men vi fick det att hända. Denna kamp är en av de största någonsin inom boxning.

 

“Jag går fortfarande starkt. Förra gången jag tittade, Jag var 47 och 0.

 

“Vem som helst kan träffas med ett fantastiskt skott, men jag kan göra fler justeringar och Manny inte.

 

“Jag tror inte Pacquiao förväntade mig att se lika stark eller stor ut när vi mötte oss (vid L.A. presskonferens).

 

“Jag går runt vid 150-152 kilo att väga 147 pounds. Andra boxare väger runt 160-170 innan du kommer ner.

 

“Jag har ännu en kamp om mitt kontrakt. Jag kunde inte vara lyckligare med SHOWTIME och CBS.

 

“Las Vegas är boxninghuvudstaden. Under en Floyd Mayweather-kamphelg, du kan handla, fest, stanna sent och gör vad du vill. Staden Las Vegas har allt.

 

“Det fanns erbjudanden att slåss mot andra platser, men MGM Grand är mitt hem.

 

“Allt jag har bett om MGM Grand, de har gjort för mig i hjärtslag. De handlar om att göra underhållare och idrottare glada.”

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ, WBC Super Boxning världsmästare

 

“Jag är mycket tacksam för möjligheten att slåss på ett så otroligt stort kort. Jag vill verkligen tacka Floyd Mayweather.

 

“Alla boxare skulle vilja vara med på det här kortet där miljontals människor tittar. Jag är glad att representera Mexiko på kvällen och på detta kampkort.

“Jag ser det som ett viktigt tillfälle för mig att skapa ett ännu större namn för mig själv, vilket är mitt mål eftersom jag en dag vill bli en superstjärna som Floyd. Det är därför jag tränar riktigt hårt hela tiden.

 

“Det finns inga små slagsmål för mig. Jag anser att varje kämpe är farlig. Du förlorar när du tror att en kämpe inte är på din nivå och då kommer han hungrigare än du. Det kommer aldrig att hända mig.

 

“Jag vet inte vem jag slåss ännu, men jag sparrar olika killar med olika stilar.

 

“Det finns alltid mycket risk för mig. Folk fortsätter att prata om alla dessa stora slagsmål, men om jag inte vinner nu, det kommer inte att bli några stora slagsmål i framtiden.

 

“Jag vet vem jag vill slåss, men jag väljer inte mina motståndare; Jag överlåter det till mitt team. De fattar sådana beslut. Mitt jobb är att slåss och vinna.

 

“Jag måste hålla mig koncentrerad. Jag måste behålla fokus och koncentration. Jag kan inte komma före mig själv. jag ger 100 procent i träning och i ringen. Jag vill alltid kämpa för fansen.”


LEONARD Ellerbe, VD för Mayweather Promotions

 

“Boxning är högst uppe just nu. Det händer många bra saker. Mellan denna kamp och att få tillbaka boxning på nätverks-tv, allt är bra för sporten.

 

“Denna kamp kommer inte bara att höja sporten i allmänhet, men det kommer att få in den avslappnade fläkten till sporten och det är en fantastisk sak.

 

“Effekten som Floyd Mayweather har haft på denna sport är omätlig. Människor kommer inte att kunna uppskatta det förrän han går i pension. Han har gjort så mycket för den här sporten. Han har gett krigare en plattform för att säga till andra initiativtagare att de förtjänar lejonparten av pengarna. Han har tagit mer sponsring till sporten.

 

“Floyd Mayweather är den högst betalade idrottaren i alla sporter och han råkar vara en boxare.

 

“Jag tror att efterfrågan hittills bara anger hur stor denna händelse är. Det här är en kamp som har pratats om i fem år nu och alla kommer att få exakt vad de har bett om.

 

“Manny Pacquiao är en stor kämpe. Han har varit i ett antal stora slagsmål och han har haft en fantastisk karriär hittills. Dessa är de två bästa kämparna i denna generation och kommer Maj 2 Det kommer att finnas en man och Floyd Mayweather.

 

“Det råder ingen tvekan om att det kommer att bli en fantastisk kamp. Jag är verkligen glad. Jag kan se första hand den dagliga förberedelsen som Floyd lägger in och han jobbar lika hårt som någonsin. Fans kommer att få en stor kamp den kvällen.

 

“Jag vet inte vad Manny Pacquiao har att göra med Maj 2, men jag vet vad Floyd Mayweather har att göra. Han måste göra vad han normalt gör och gå in där och genomföra sin spelplan och jag förväntar mig verkligen att Floyd slår ut honom.”

 

Floyd Mayweather SR., Mayweather's Trainer & Far

 

“Floyd är lika väl rundad som en fighter som någonsin har varit, men han är verkligen fortfarande här på grund av sitt försvar.

 

“Andra killar slåss med huvudet och sinnet och kommer kort. Det är hans fantastiska försvar som har hållit honom på topp så länge.

 

“Jag vill att ni alla ska se det. Det är så enkelt och enkelt vad han ska göra. Till och med Ray Charles kunde se det.

 

“Jag trodde ärligt talat aldrig att detta skulle hända. Så många försökte säga att Floyd var rädd. Låt oss se vidare Maj 2 vem är rädd.

 

“Jag kan inte berätta varför eller hur, men här är en uppdatering, Floyd kommer att sparka sin a ** och slå ut Pacquiao.

 

“Jag tittade inte på ett band på Pacquiao. Det finns ingen anledning att studera honom. Han är inte på den här nivån.

 

“Floyd är bäst, jag måste erkänna. Ingenting kommer att stoppa Floyd Mayweather.

 

“Pacquiaos tränare Coach Roach (Freddie Roach) ljuger för dig. Försöker lura er alla. Floyd slår inte ner i gymmet. Floyd är den som slår ner människor. Mört blåser rök utan hopp.”
