Algieri got schooled by Professor Pacquiao, says Freddie Roach

Prior to Manny Pacquiao's fight with Chris Algieri, the Filipino ring icon's trainer Freddie Roach was vocal in saying that the American fighter didn't stand a chance. On Sunday, Roach was proven right as Pacquiao completely dominated the fight, knocking down Algieri six times en route to a dominant decision win. After the fight, Roach couldn't help but give one more jab to the Algieri camp. "The master boxer was given a master class by Professor Pacquiao," said Roach. Algieri holds a master's degree and an ambition to become a doctor once his boxing days are over. All week in the build-up, his trainer Tim Lane had been declaring that he would destroy Pacquiao by "master boxing". — Report from Agence France-Presse

Chris Algieri is ’110 per cent’ prepared for Manny Pacquiao after ‘strenuous’ 10-week training camp

Chris Algieri arrives in Macao ahead of Manny Pacquiao challenge and discusses everything from handsomeness to Zab Judah

UST one day after arriving in Macao, undefeated WBO light-welterweight champion Chris Algieri resumed his promotional roadwork for the biggest fight of his professional life – challenging WBO welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao.

On a busy Sunday in the St. Mark’s Square section of the Shoppes at Venetian, Algieri made a public appearance where was greeted by hundreds of fans, posed for photos and answered questions about his career and this Saturday’s battle with Pacquiao.

“With one million square feet of retail space and over 350 stores at the Shoppes at Venetian I think I can get in my daily roadwork and my Christmas shopping, all at the same time,” said Algieri to the delight of fans and shop owners alike. “I love Macao. It was great during my last visit on the promotional tour and it is even better this time. I am glad to be able to spend more time here.

“I worked hard for over 10 weeks in the most strenuous and productive training camp of my career. I had a lot of different sparring partners, including Zab Judah, giving me different looks to prepare me for anything Pacquiao decides to throw at me. I am 110 per cent prepared for our fight.”

When asked how a fighter could be so handsome, Algieri responded, “Every time I enter the ring I look to improve and perfect my master-boxer style of fighting – utilising the space inside the ring to my advantage. Good defence is the key to preserving my handsomeness.” Laughter and shrieks from his female fans greeted the underdog’s words.

Algieri concluded his public appearance by presenting three contest winners with autographed boxing gloves and posing for photographs with them.

Algieri will resume light training today – Monday – and meet with the first wave of U.S. media to arrive in the afternoon.

Money May’s Condition For The Dream Match Is Pacquiao Must Sign Up With Mayweather Promotions

By Vittorio Hernandez | September 4, 2014 2:11 PM EST

Despite the disclosure last week by Top Rank Promotions chief Bob Arum that Showtime/CBS and HBO are discussing the possibility of having two Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather bouts in 2015, Money May doused cold water on the fight.

He told Black Sports Online writer Kel Dansby at a media event at his Las Vegas gym that he would only agree to face the Filipino champ in the ring if the congressman will sign with his Mayweather Promotions.

With Mayweather's condition, the dream match is next to dead because  Pacquiao;s contract with Top Rank runs until December 2016, which means the earliest time the bout could take place is January 2017 when Mayweather turns 40 and Pacquao would be 38 by then.

In response to Mayweather's latest demand, Pacquiao replied, quoted by the Los Angeles Times, "I want to give the people what they want, the fight with Mayweathere, but what can I do if he doesn't want to fight?"

Pacquiao added, "He's ducking another opponent, and it's known all over the world who he should fight. So ... I feel sorry for him. What he needs is ... to know how to communicate with people. That's why I'm so happy and have peace of mind."

For the fight to happen before the two boxers get too old, Arum said there should be cooperation between HBO, Pacquiao's pay-per-view network, and Showtime, where Mayweather is signed up.

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather should give the public what they want - AND pocket at least $300m between them by boxing in the richest fight in history

The initial reaction when Manny Pacquiao announced that he will quit the ring in 2016 was to despair that the fight against Floyd Mayweather which the world has been waiting an eternity to see had been scuppered once and for all.
The reverse may be the case. Not least because the Pac-Man was actually deferring his retirement date.
The last time I discussed the matter with Pacquiao he talked of going into full-time Philippines politics next year.
Bowing out: Pacquiao has deferred his retirement to 2016, raising possibility of a fight with Mayweather
Bowing out: Pacquiao has deferred his retirement to 2016, raising possibility of a fight with Mayweather
Future plans: The Filipino boxer wants to go into politics in his homeland after he retires in 2016
Now speculation is on the rise in the US that Floyd Mayweather may be preparing the ground for a spectacular climax to both his and the Pac-Man’s career.
First, as he agreed to his September 13 rematch with Marcos Maidana, Mayweather went public with a teaser for us to expect a surprise announcement for his ensuing fight, scheduled for next May.
Since Amir Khan is hoping that will be when he gets his overdue shot at the Money man, nobody got over-excited.
But an alternative scenario has arisen from the fall-out following a huge promotional upheaval in American boxing.
Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya, after splitting with long-time partner Richard Schaefer, has brokered a peace with Bob Arum’s Top Rank outfit which should lead to big fights between boxers in each of those stables.  Read full Story >>>

Amir Khan: ‘Fighting Mayweather like chess but Pacquiao would be harder’

amir khan gym boltonMy nose is a little bruised and bent but only I can tell how bad it is,” Amir Khan says as he smiles ruefully when reminded that nine years ago this summer he made his debut as a professional boxer. Khan tweaks his fighter’s nose gently as if he cannot believe how much he has endured since joining the paid ranks of this battered old business as an Olympic silver medallist and teenage sensation in July 2005.

“So much has happened since then,” he says. “I’ve come back from losses and won world titles. I’ve boxed in the UK and America, won fight of the year and moved up three weight classes. I’ve achieved so much and I’m still only 27. But I feel fresh, which is amazing when you think of all the hard fights and hard training. I’ve been boxing since I was eight and that’s a long time to take punches day after day.”

Khan is engaging and eloquent and, like most boxers, he prefers a genuine conversation to a conventional question-and-answer routine. Being hit in the face also instils a rare candour in fighters like Khan. “I’m in a sport where one punch can change your life,” he says intently at his gym in Bolton. “I understand why my mum and my wife can’t bear to watch me fight. There’s a lot of blood, a lot of pain. I’m a fighter but I find it very hard to watch my brother [Haroon – an unbeaten super-flyweight with a professional record of 5-0] because there’s nothing you can do to help him. It must be hell for my mum.” Read full Story>>>

Pacquiao with everything to lose in Algieri fight

By Chris Williams: 
Pacquiao Algieri Pacquiao vs. Algieri Chris Algieri  manny pacquiao Top Rank promoter Bob Arum may have done his No.1 money fighter Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KOs) in a small way by matching him against obscure fighter Chris Algieri (20-0, 8 KOs) in their fight on November 22nd in Macao, China, but Arum ultimately is putting the 35-year-old Pacquiao in a position where his career is going to be on the brink of implosion should he lost to the 5’10” Algieri.

The casual boxing fans, the ones that will be purchasing the Pacquiao-Algieri fight on HBO pay-per-view, have no clue who Algieri is. The ones that do know who he is are largely unimpressed with his power and overall talent. Read full Story...

By Lou Imperial | July 22, 2014 4:16 PM EST

The battle royal between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. might be ticking away, but the boon for the showdown could be too tempting for both fighters to ignore, according to several boxing analysts.

Pacquiao vs. Mayweather has been elusive, a pipe dream for boxing fans after years of failed negotiation between both camps. Without a doubt, the match will be the biggest ever in history, as estimates suggested a whopping $300 million in fight money at stake. Read full Story...

'Pacquiao no longer a mythical beast'

ABS-CBNnews.com

MANILA, Philippines – Retired boxer and boxing trainer Jeff Mayweather claims that Manny Pacquiao is no longer the "mythical monster" of yore that tore down some of the best fighters of his era.

Mayweather, an uncle of current pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr., said it was Pacquiao’s run against Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton that made the Filipino boxer a superstar.

He, however, said that Pacquiao’s boxing prowess significantly diminished in recent years.

“Pacquiao had a short run knocking out guys and everybody jumped on his bandwagon and made him this big huge star — when he beat Cotto, Margarito, De La Hoya and Hatton. Since that time, what has he really done?” Mayweather said in an interview with "On The Ropes Boxing Radio."

He said Pacquiao’s mystique wore off after he stopped knocking out people. Read full Story...

Pacquiao vs. Khan: The Wild Card War

June 29, 2014

“It’s hard to see him older and getting worse. Freddie, with the Parkinson’s Disease, he was struggling with instructions and couldn’t move as well.”

Amir Khan, in late Summer 2012 after getting KTFO by Danny Garcia

Wow Amir. That like... it stinks.

With Roach, Pacquiao would utilize his unique gifts to defeat Amir Khan.I read those comments and it leads you to make that real scrunchy face. The one you make after your 300lb cousin annihilated the bathroom after feeling the effects of Taco Bell.

No spray.

No Warning.

No police tape covering the damn door.

However prescient Khan thought his remarks to be - after abandoning a Freddie Roach who was about as cold as a homeless man caught in a Chicago winter at the time - I wonder how he approaches them now roughly two years later. Read full Story...
