Mayweather: Pacquiao parang 'amateur' lumaban
MANILA, Philippines – Tulad ng inaasahan, hindi napabilib si undefeated American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. sa bagong panalo ni Manny Pacquiao laban.
Inamin ni Mayweather kay Ben Thompson ng fighthype.com na nakapanood siya ng ilang highlights ng pagkapanalo ni Pacquiao kay Timothy Bradley via unanimous decision noong Abril 13.
"Actually, I did watch the fight. You know, I haven't seen Pacquiao fight in years. I've seen highlights, but I haven't seen Pacquiao fight since he fought Miguel Cotto (in 2009). You know, congratulations; he was the better man," wika ng pound-for-pound king na si Mayweather.
Pero sa tingin ng undefeated boxer ay mukhang amateur lumaban sina Pacquiao at Mayweather.
"I think both fighters fought like amateurs. I thought Pacquiao fought like an amateur also and I wasn't pleased with his performance. He got the victory the best way he knew how, but I wasn't pleased with his performance at all," banggit ni Mayweather.
Sa pagkapanalo ni Pacquiao ay muling nabuhay ang usapan para ituloy ang “dream match†sa pagitan nila ni Mayweather na nakatakdang harapin ang Argentinian na si Marcos Maidana sa Linggo.
Ilang beses nang nauwi sa wala ang negosasyon upang matuloy ang laban, ngunit iginiit ni Mayweather na lalaban lamang niya ang eight-division champion kung aalis siya sa puder ni Top Rank chief Bob Arum na ayaw gawin ni Pacquiao.
"I'm seeing something totally different in Pacquiao, but still, that don't make me say, 'Yeah, I'ma go out there and fight him,' because he's with Bob Arum and I'm with Mayweather Promotions."
