Pacquiao, magdedepen­sa ng WBA title vs Broner?

-

INIHAYAG ng ilang source sa may direktang kinalaman sa usapin ang pagdepensa ni WBA welterweig­ht champion Manny Pacquiao sa Amerikanon­g si Adrian Broner sa Las Vegas, Nevada sa Enero 12, 2019.

Ayon sa isang source na tumangging pabangit ang pangalan, nilagdaan na ang kontrata para sa sagupaan nina Pacquiao at Bronner bago ang muling pagsasagup­a ng eight-division world champion laban kay Floyd Mayweather, Jr. sa Mayo 2019.

“The PacquiaoBr­oner title tiff will be co-promoted by MP Promotions and Floyd Mayweather Promotions,” ayon sa ulat ng Philboxing. com. “Pacquiao, according to the source, has decided to bed with Al Haymon, a Mayweather adviser for years who does a lot of business with Showtime. Pacquiao, who is eyeing at lest two more fights before finally heading into the sunset, has also received a lucrative offer from streaming giant DAZN.”

Huling lumaban sa US si Pacquiao noong Nobyembre 5, 2016 sa Las Vegas, Nevada nang maagaw niya ang WBO welterweig­ht title sa pagpapabag­sak sa 2nd round at pagtalo sa puntos sa Amerikano ring si Jessie Vargas.

Natalo si Pacquiao sa kontrobers­iyal na 12-round unanimous decision kay Aussie Jeff Horn na muntik niyang mapatulog sa 9th round noong Hulyo 2, 2017 sa Suncorp Stadium sa Brisbane, Australia.

Noong Hulyo 15 sa Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, pinabagsak ni Pacquiao si Argentinia­n Lucas Matthysse sa 3rd at 5th round bago napatigil sa 7th round para maagaw ang WBA welterweig­ht title.

“Although trouble has a way of finding him outside the ring, Broner (38-3-1, 24 KOs), is no cakewalk for Pacquiao. The brash American who fancies himself as The Problem is only 29 years young and has a nearly threeinch advantage over the Filipino icon who will turn 40 this December,” dagdag ng source.

Tangan ni Pacquiao ang rekord na 60-7- 2 a may 39 pagwawagi sa knockouts.
