  • Mayweather's List: Porter and Brook Fighting to Get on It
    Mayweather’s List: Porter and Brook fighting to get on it By Norm Frauenheim– Getting a shot at Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been called a derby and a sweepstakes. There are no rules on how to get in line, if in fact there is one. Still, Shawn Porter and Kell Brook will try to win a chance Saturday at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. They’re fighting for Porter’s International Boxing Federation (IBF) version of the welterweight title. But the acronym- sanctioned belt is window dressing. The real fight is to get into the Mayweather conversation. Thus far, Porter’s name has been dropped, but a mere mention is a little bit like winning a state lottery. Not much chance there. With an impressive win over the unbeaten and dangerous Brook, however, maybe Porter will be more than just another name in a crowded pool of alternates after Mayweather begins searching for another opponent following an expected victory in a September rematch with Marcos Maidana. Porter (24-0-1, 15 KOs), a slight favorite to beat Brook (32-0, 22 KOs) in a Showtime-televised bout, acknowledges the Mayweather stakes, which are impossible to ignore anyway. “I don’t consider my fights as auditions,’’ he said in a conference call. “I consider them performances. Again, you know this is boxing. We don’t look ahead. But at the same time, yes, Mayweather, we all know he’s on the clock. We’re all right there, hoping we’re next in line.’’ The confident Porter is bold enough to exhibit showmanship.

  • Marcos Maidana: Unplanned-For, Undissuaded
    Marcos Maidana: Unplanned- for, undissuaded By Bart Barry– After their Saturday welterweight match at MGM Grand, American Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Argentine Marcos “El Chino” Maidana proffered a study in contrasts as they made their ways back to their respective dressing rooms beneath the Grand Garden Arena. One man, shiny-faced and unmarked, greeted a swarming mass of exuberant countrymen. The other, shuffling slightly with face partially misshapen and flanked by enormous body guards, smiled perfunctorily at those who wished him well. Despite prevailing by majority-decision scores, Floyd Mayweather was not the shiny-faced lad with the exuberant fans. The idea that Mayweather would not win more than five unanimous rounds against Marcos Maidana on Saturday was one that traversed few minds. The large number of folks who attended the fight or purchased it on pay-per-view did so to support a TMT franchise we’ve been told is historic. A much smaller number of buyers invested their entertainment funds in the hopes El Chino would catch Money cold, somehow, and score a Hasim Rahman-like upset. Nobody who spent money on a ticket or telecast envisioned Maidana decisioning, in Las Vegas, the guy whose head is now more ubiquitous at MGM Grand than that golden lion’s. And yet, there were rounds not even a partial observer like judge Burt Clements could find a way to give Mayweather. The first round is the first that comes to mind; perhaps Maidana did not sprint from his corner recklessly as he bumrushed Adrien Broner in December – and if Saturday’s main event did not restore much glimmer to “About Billions,” it did embolden those critics who quietly wonder if Mexican Saul Alvarez isn’t something of a frecklefaced fraud – but once he found Mayweather was overconfident enough in the shoulder-roll defense to let the ropes stop his backwards lean, Maidana brought the contact to Mayweather in a way no one before him has.

  • Mayweather's Best Offence Is Clever Defense
    SPORTS SATURDAY, MAY 3, 2014 Mayweather’s best offence is clever defense LAS VEGAS: Pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather has what he con- siders the ideal strategy when he puts his perfect record on the line today against power-puncher Marcos Maidana. “The game plan is to stay in the pocket. Make the guy miss and make the guy pay,” says Mayweather, who is the highest paid athlete in North American sports, earning an estimated $85 million year according to Forbes Magazine. The 37-year-old undefeated American will be a 12-1 favorite when he defends his World Boxing Council 147-pound crown against the World Boxing Association champ Maidana in a unification bout at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. Mayweather has won championship belts in five divi- sions and remained undefeated in 45 career fights. He is a defensive-minded fighter who beats his opponents with Olympic-style tactics-racking up points with the judges. His counterpunching strategy may not make for exciting knockouts, but it has served him well during his 18-year career. “Is Marcos Maidana one of the LAS VEGAS: Undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr, gets the crowd laughing during his speech at the AEG and MGM Resorts best in the sport? Absolutely,” International ground breaking VIP/media event on Thursday, May 1, 2014. —AP Mayweather said. “But I am the best there is. We are still wondering who’s going to solve the ‘MayVinci’ Code?
