Pacquiao vs Mayweather Official Thread...May 2nd!!!

[Black_Jesus]

you dumb fukk your not making any sense
random testing= being randomly tested throughout your training camp
no it does not have to be a specific amount of times, but the amount should not be ZERO

Floyd and pacquaio already been tested twice and they aint figting for another 6 weeks
his training camp is essentially over and they never came once

just stop

As long as he gets tested before the fight is all that matters... Memo might get the brilliant idea to whip up one of his special KoolAid disguised cocktails the day before the fight thinking the random tests are over since they got tested all through traininh camp.. Random testing isn't about getting tested all though the camp.. Its about catching a nikka slipping that one time

Serious as ass cancer

I agree it's only about catching somebody slipping that 1 time, but I also feel that it should've been done multiple times by now...not 0 times over 7 weeks. The "threat" of a random test coming thru is enough to keep people at bay, but I still feel like Baby Pacquiao should've been tested a few times by now.

I feel like they're purposely being inconsistent as a tactic to catch these dirty nikkas... Now you're gonna have nikkas believing that they wont get tested the first 7 weeks.. Those are nikkas they are after.. Those are the nikkas that will be caught. Perfect system if you ask me....

Yeah, both of yall are right.


Memo is trying to cause an issue, but at the same time, he knows that by them NOT testing Baby Pacquiao thus far...they have been working with "testing can come any day now" over their heads. The threat is real.

On the other hand, I would've liked a test or 3 to have been done already, so that nikkas know when VADA comes thru the doors, cheating time is over and you WILL get tested multiple times and you dont know when (Not to say Sonsona is a cheater). As long as they test them, and not put out a press release saying that they did knowing they didnt (*ahem* USADA *ahem*) it's all good.


Both sides are right. Put both of yall's opinions together and all bases are covered

Mayweather Sr. Feels Freddie Roach is Worried, Confused
Posted by: Michael Mardones on 3/23/2015

By Michael Mardones

The war of words continues to play out between the two camps. Floyd Mayweather Sr., father and head trainer of WBC/WBA welterweight and junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., feels Manny Pacquiao's head trainer, Freddie Roach, is very worried about their upcoming fight on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Roach, in several interviews, has stated that Mayweather Sr. is an ailment to Floyd's corner because he stutters too much when excited and can't properly explain instructions. Roach sees brother Roger Mayweather as being the better trainer of the two. Due to health issues, Roger is not working Floyd's corner as head trainer.

"I have never been scared about Floyd fighting Pacquiao. To me its just a fight and he's just an opponent to me. Freddie Roach don't know what the hell he's talking about. Freddie Roach is talking about my son, talking about Roger getting in the corner. He don't want the master in the corner....that's what it is. I know what time it is. He don't want the master in the corner. He knows what the master is going to do. The master is going to tell [Floyd] to do some things that [Roach has] never seen before," Mayweather Sr. told BoxingScene.com.

Roy Jones Jr: Floyd Mayweather is More Dangerous Now
Posted by: Edward Chaykovsky on 3/23/2015 .

By Edward Chaykovsky

Former four division world champion Roy Jones Jr. says Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs) is more dangerous now than he was ten years ago.

Mayweather faces Manny Pacquiao in a mega-match unification for the WBO/WBA/WBC welterweight titles on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, says Mayweather was a more dangerous fighter when he was younger. He points to Mayweather's legs, stating the boxer can't move as much as he used to several years ago.

Jones agrees that Mayweather has slowed down in certain areas, but those declines have made Mayweather dig deep and use some of his other talents - like power punching.

“The fact that he can't do things at 38 that he did at 28 makes him more dangerous,” Jones said to CBS Sports. “He's always been a great puncher, but he's never had to use it because he was so much better than everyone skillfully, and he had so much athleticism that he hasn't had to depend on his punching power.”


"Pacquiao may think he'll be able to outwork him and not worry about (Mayweather's) power because he hasn't had to use it. Now that he's gotten older he will use his power, and that's going to be a bigger problem for Pacquiao. Because, to me, the only way for him to beat Pacquiao is to get him out of there.”

[The Fukin Prophecy]

Both sparring partners mention Floyd's timing. Interestingly enough, WK as in Wilson Kayden from the UK, who breaks down fights all the time basically says that the tattooing starts May 2nd.

All indications coming out of Mayweathers camp are Corales type focus and its very clear he's bringing his A game for this fight..

Got me contemplating changing my bet from SD to stoppage...Packeyow is a bleeder and he will have no answer for that lead right so if Floyd's timing is on point this fight will get very ugly...

I'm going to play it safe though, it's too big of a fight to be stopped...Unless the corner throws the towel Nevada ain't stopping this one...Plus Floyd doesn't chase KOs and stoppages, he's not a volume puncher...

Mayweather-Pacquiao PED Testing: Conte Chimes In
Posted by: Ronnie Nathanielsz on 3/20/2015 .

by Ronnie Nathanielsz

An expert on the use of various forms of performance enhancing drugs, Victor Conte, claims the current so-called random drug tests conducted by the US Anti Doping Agency on Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao which boxing scribes continue to refer to as “Olympic Style testing” is incorrect.

Conte responded to a question from BoxingScene.com/New Standard/Viva Sports in the wake of the verbal exchanges between Pacquiao’s longtime adviser, Michael Koncz, and Mayweather Promotions CEO, Leonard Ellerbe - after Koncz had suggested that if either fighters tests positive for a banned substance, he pays a fine of $5 million to his opponent.

Conte said “short-term comprehensive blood and urine testing” is what Mayweather and Pacquiao are doing not 24/7 365 days a year like Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire under VADA, the Voluntary Anti Doping Agency as well as Olympic athletes.

He told us that “if a boxer is allowed to determine the start date of the testing, then they can use PEDS and then taper off and begin testing.”


Conte posed the question “what were the boxers doing for the two months before the six weeks of testing before a fight begins” insinuating that it could mean a PED green light.


The expert explained that a boxer “could use PEDs for two months and taper off for two weeks" before testing begins for six weeks and still receive benefits at fight time.


He claimed the reason the testing Mayweather and Pacquiao are doing is NOT as effective as 24/7 all year round is because Mayweather determined the start date.


At the same time Conte warned that “its important for the boxing world to understand that PEDS can have long lasting carry over effects upon performance after use.”

The founder and president of BALCO, a sports nutrition center in California, Conte served time in prison in 2005 after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute steroids and money laundering.

After serving a prison term Conte developed sports supplements that are legal to use and has been in the forefront of efforts to clean up sports.

Conte for some time worked with Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire who enrolled some years ago in a year round random drug testing program of VADA and is now reportedly working with Zab Judah , a sparring partner of Mayweather and Andre Berto.

Speaking to your bolded. There were many punches that pushed Maidana back and he had 20 pounds on Floyd. Those punches hurt. He's not 1 shot Koing people but they will give pause. Everybody says that Floyd hits harder than they thought.

All indications coming out of Mayweathers camp are Corales type focus and its very clear he's bringing his A game for this fight..

Got me contemplating changing my bet from SD to stoppage...Packeyow is a bleeder and he will have no answer for that lead right so if Floyd's timing is on point this fight will get very ugly...

I'm going to play it safe though, it's too big of a fight to be stopped...Unless the corner throws the towel Nevada ain't stopping this one...Plus Floyd doesn't chase KOs and stoppages, he's not a volume puncher...

Smart man, in the back of my mind, I think that Floyd wants to make a statement but I'm not a betting man, however, I see this as risky because as you said, he doesn't chase those outcomes.

 

[#SOG_soldier]

50/50 fight

Please god bless us with this bout

 

[#SOG_soldier]

Was Margarito at 147? If so I don't think Bradley beats him.
Cotto at 147 is a loss too if he fought him when Pac did.
He might get Hatton at 147, not sure about 140.

Do you think he could beat Danny at 140 right now?

Marg was at 154. Danny beats anyone at 140 outside of PAC or may.

Bradley would destroy overrated ass hatton. Cotton ain't been shyt for years and Bradley beats him as well.

 

[Jello Biafra]

I don't know who started the slander Bradley movement on here but I ain't down with it

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

If Manny was working with Memo and Alex and took 5 hours to get a urine sample, would anyone here question it? I'm just saying. The money is looking funny under the lights.

Its suspect but Floyd gets the benefit of the doubt because he's not the guy who 6 years ago was openly ducking steroid testing claiming he is scared of needles unlike his opponent...

Floyd brought random steroid testing to boxing unlike Packeyow who was 100% against it...so why would Floyd be cheating now? Maybe dude was just drained from 24/7 intensive training ?
