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.

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
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 >>>

Finally, a sign that Mayweather could be working with Top Rank Again
By Idris Morrey:
Recently, WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr (46-0, 26 KO’s) declared he has a special opponent in mind for the fans after the September 13 rematch with Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KOs). The pound for pound long reigning champion called it a surprise to mark on the calenders and fans have not stopped guessing. Media houses, popular blogs and our very own Boxing News 24 paraded possible names for the May 2014 showdown but it all pointed at Bob Arums’ stable of Top Rank.
A photo circulating around the social media today could be confirming our guesses. A Money team labelled van was spotted outside Top Rank gym. It is now clear that Mayweather Promotions and Bob Arum of Top Rank could be talking business again. And what a good reunion it could be for both of these boxing powerhouses who posses arguably the best boxers in the sport right now. Read full Story >>>

Pacquiao with everything to lose in Algieri fight
By Chris Williams:
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...

ZOU SHIMING EYES WORLD TITLE FIGHT
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told the Manila Standard/Viva Sports from Las Vegas that Zou Shiming “has come a long way” and credited celebrated trainer Freddie Roach who he said, “has done a great job.”
He said that it looks like the undefeated Zou Shiming who won a unanimous ten round decision against Luis De La Rosa in Macau last Saturday will fight for the world title but said “it's up to Freddie who he fights.”
It is likely that should Zou Shiming fight for the title he would take on IBF champion Amnat Ruenroeng, also a former Olympian who won the title by a twelve round split decision over Kazuto Ioka of Japan last May 7 after earlier grabbing the vacant title from the Philippines Rocky Fuentes with a twelve round unanimous decision on January 22 this year.

Lem Satterfield
The WBO has ordered Peter Quillin to defend his middleweight title against Matt Korobov, giving their respective promoters, Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank, 30 days to negotiate a deal before a purse bid is mandated, it was announced on the website of organization President Paco Valcarcel.
The letter, posted on the site, was sent to Golden Boy Promotions Vice President and matchmaker Eric Gomez and Top Rank Vice President Carl Moretti, whose respective sides must bid at least $200,000.
In his last fight in April, Quillin (31-0, 22 knockouts) won a one-sided unanimous decision over Lukas Konecny.
A 31-year-old former Russian amateur standout, Korobov (24-0, 14 KOs) is coming off a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Jose Uzcategui, whom he dropped in the seveinth round.

Top Rank president compares Crawford to Mayweather Jr
By Michael Lieberman: Well, you knew sooner or later someone was going to get around to saying that WBO lightweight champion Terence Crawford (24-0, 17 KOs) was the next Floyd Mayweather Jr or at least compare him to the famous fighter, but it was surprising that it happened so soon without Crawford having taken on a really serious threat.
Last night, Crawford defeated a fighter who was two divisions smaller than him in former IBF/WBA featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (23-1, 16 KO’s) in a 9th round knockout at the CenturyLink Center, in Omaha, Nebraska, USA.
Crawford, 26, was a favorite going into the fight due to his age, size, activity level, and the fact that Gamboa hadn’t fought in over a year, and he was no longer looking sharp at this point in his career like he had when he was younger. Read full Story...

Boxing News 2014: Top rank to Announce September 2014 Pacquiao-Mayweather bout, Claims Korean Web Site
By Vittorio Hernandez | June 27, 2014 12:00 AM EST
The dream match between pound-for-pound king contenders Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao will reportedly take place in September 2014, Kdramastars, a Korean drama, movie and celebrity news site reported, citing a reliable source from 78Sports TV and Latino Post.
The report claims that Top Rank, where Pacquiao has a contract, will officially announce the much anticipated bout. The Web site said that the same source correctly leaked the fight between Robert Guerrero and Saul Canelo Alvarez months before the official announcement, citing a report from Philippine Star.
The unnamed 78Sports anchor confirmed that both boxers have agreed to the fight which is now guaranteed. The anchor said, "Everything else that you will be just theatrics from here on out. But the fight is already done."
On Tuesday, Mayweather was quoted as saying his choice is limited between Amir Khan and Miguel Cotto, but Pacquiao is definitely out of the picture.
Although the anchor did not provide more details, there is a possibility the dream match is the handiwork of Prince Amir Shafipour of the United Arab Emirates who has promised to make the Pacquiao-Mayweather bout a reality in 2015, to be held in Dubai.
And with UAE petro dollars at work, a guaranteed purse higher than the S40 million Mayweather got on May 3 could have convinced Money May to change his mind and agree to meet Pacquiao inside the ring.
Sept 13 is the scheduled fight of Mayweather at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, but he has not officially announced his opponent.
The bout could be the biggest in boxing history, expected to get break pay-per-view revenues in past fights, or the report could be the mother of all hoax stories as the Latino Post story on boxing were on the possible opponents of both boxers. On the other hand, the Philippine Star article was about Pacquiao being a nominee for the Best Fighter of the Year at ESPN's Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards. Both articles on Thursday did not carry any news about the so-called dream match.
