前四个级别的拳王 阿德里安 布罗纳(33-2, 24 KOs),给自己的好友弗洛伊德 梅威瑟以极高的赞誉:梅威瑟是个天才,他和UFC巨星麦格雷戈之战是最完美的对决。
这场炒作已久的跨界大战,上周三官方正式宣布成行,将在8月26日拉斯维加斯 T-Mobile竞技场举行,由SHOWTIME,PPV按次付费直播。
布罗纳在本周一提及,他对能够出现在 梅威瑟VS麦格雷戈的跨界大战的垫赛中,非常感兴趣。其可能的对手是UFC战士内特 迪亚兹。内特 迪亚兹在去年已经取得拳击许可证。
布罗纳在7月29日不到一个月的时间内,将和三个级别拳王米奇加西亚(36-0, 30 KOs).进行一场超轻量级对决,地点美国纽约布鲁克林的巴克莱体育中心。
布罗纳觉得如果他在此战中获胜,它将能够快速投入到下一场(指梅炮战的垫赛)备战。
此前加西亚战斗过的三个级别体重上限最高135磅,布罗纳则在147打过,即便这样5比1的赔率,布罗纳还是严重不被看好。。。。。
布罗纳对CBS说道:我能说什么?只能说梅威瑟是个完美天才!如果在和加西亚的战斗中我没有受伤,我希望和另一个UFC明星出现在俺哥垫赛中。
此后我会给我的经纪人艾尔 海蒙打电话,让他撮合我和篮球明星 斯蒂芬 克里 的另一场跨界大战。
Broner appearing on that card is a stretch, because that's less than a month from his upcoming fight with three division champion Mikey Garcia (36-0, 30 KOs).
The fight with Garcia takes place on July 29th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. But Broner feels he can make that quick of a turnaround - provided there are no injuries, and provided that he wins the bout. Garcia, who never fought any higher than the lightweight limit of 135-pounds, is as high as a 5-1 favorite to beat him. Broner has captured world titles at 130, 135, 140 and the welterweight limit of 147.
Mayweather has been getting a lot of heat for the bout with McGregor - who undeniably is one of the most popular athletes in the world, but he doesn't have any pro boxing experience. Mayweather, who is 40-years-old, has been inactive since announcing his retirement in September 2015.
Broner loves the idea of the fight - because Mayweather is going to make over $100 million for what most believe will be a one-sided domination of a fighter.
"What can I say? [Mayweather] a f---ing genius," Broner told CBS Sports. "Hell, if I don't take any punishment after my fight, I would like to fight the next UFC star on the undercard. F--- it. After this podcast, I'm going to call [adviser] Al [Haymon] and tell him to make me a fight with Steph Curry." |
