KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – A human machine against a nasty machine. A legend of aging against a champion who aspires to recognition.
Manny Pacquiao and Lucas Matthysse should be up when they get tangled up for the World Boxing Association's welterweight crown on Sunday, July 15th.
Promoter of Fight of Champions, Pacquiao deviated from his usual lines in an interview after Saturday's weigh-in and vowed to "finish the fight early", if given the chance.
There are about ten years since he was the best pound-for-pound fighter then. But now, approaching mid-life and unable to stop an enemy in nine years, Pacquiao has managed to spark interest in the world's fight card with three other world title bouts at the Axiata Arena's 16,000 places.
Pacquiao-Matthysse for this would provide an answer – if the fighter of the decade of the 2000s, the world champion of eight divisions, and only the fighter senator still belongs to the elite circle, or if the fearsome warrior should withdraw.
But Pacquiao, three times Fighter of the Year, prefers to focus on the positives.
According to him, the one-year dismissal after losing to Australian Jeff Horn in Brisbane did him good because he gave him hunger and rejuvenated his punch.
Pacquiao boasted of regaining his early twenties after training for eight weeks under the direction of a new team led by Buboy Fernandez, his teammate, and Justin Fortune, coach of strength and fitness. "Said Pacquiao." We learned to hold back. "
Admitting that he does not get any younger, Pacquiao said at a training camp at General Santos City, he would push himself to the limit one day, and then relax the next day. After an intensive workout, he relaxed the next day, just jogging and light exercise.
"There was a lot of rest to recover endurance," says Pacquiao, who will try to win the race. 60, 38 by KO, against 7 defeats and 2 draws
Of course, Pacquiao, who recorded an ideal result of 146 pounds, knows that Matthysse, who arrived in 146.7, is a dangerous opponent who can finish his 23-year-old career in scintillating. "The Argentine, 35-year-old WBA reigning king of 147 pounds, knocked out 36 of his 39 victims with his right hammer and sustained only 4 losses. [19659006] Matthysse, nicknamed La Maquina (The Machine) for his offensive feat at the machine, claims to be even more affa Me that Pacquiao because he wants to bring his crown home and make the Argentineans, injured with the release of the World Cup of their advertised booters, happy and proud.
An additional motivation for Matthysse, now being manipulated by Joel Diaz, must be mentioned in the same breath as his opponent and Ar Pascual Perez, Sergio Martinez and Carlos Monzon
Supremely confident, Matthysse has promised to kill Pacquiao, hurt him and send him back to retirement in previous interviews.

They do not want to go both. The risk of tumbling while the other is lounging in glory. – Rappler.com
