“I’m very excited to be fighting Shane. I’ve been taking it one day at a time hanging out with my team going over the game plan. I’m ready to get in to camp.”

“Shane and I have both been in the sport a long time and have tremendous backgrounds coming from boxing families. When you take the two and put them together you get a very exciting fight. I think Shane is basing everything on power and speed. It doesn’t work like that. I believe everything in life is timing and inches. It’s not just about being a defensive fighter. It’s about being a smart fighter.”

‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley is attending Super Bowl week to promote his May 1 super fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and took the time to catch up with Yahoo Sports. See what he had to say as he prepares to defend his WBA welterweight title.

“It’s on for May 1. We’ve both signed. It’s a fight that should have happened a while ago and one the fans and the people want to see. This time Floyd isn’t fighting a lightweight or a junior welterweight… he’s fighting a real welterweight!”

“In my mind I wouldn’t say I’m the underdog. I’m going to take it to him I’m going to do what I’ve got to do. Mentally as fighters both Floyd and I know who’s who and what’s what. He’s not fighting the same fighters he has been coming up who’ve never seen it before. I have a lot of confidence and have been in this game a long time. I believe in myself and know I’m the best fighter out there.”

Knockout artist Edwin Valero scored the most impressive win of his career moments ago in Monterrey, Mexico stopping the highly regarded Antonio DeMarco in front of an international audience on Showtime. Valero started out throwing bombs but DeMarco remained conservative and boxed well. In the second round a wild punch from DeMarco missed but the follow through of his elbow clipped Valero near the temple, cutting him deeply. The fight was allowed to continue and the Venezuelan slugger seemed energized by the sight of his own blood. Valero’s harder punches tipped things in his favor as the rounds went on.

I give myself completely to my training because I want to make sure that my sacrifice was worth the while.”

Antonio DeMarco: “I give a sincere thank you to the people of Monterrey, Mexico and to Mauricio Sulaiman. I want to assure them that I am going to work hard on Saturday. Everything will be OK in the end. I know what I need to be prepared for because I am facing a great champion.”

Glen Johnson TKO 6 Yusaf Mack

Glen ‘The Road Warrior’ Johnson got back in the win column Friday night with an exciting stoppage victory over Yusaf Mack on ESPN’s “Friday Night Fights”. The bout started out at a high pace with both men trading shots to the delight of the crowd. As the rounds went on Mack appeared to be suckered in to fighting Johnson’s fight as he would back himself to the ropes to trade on the inside. It made for some exciting exchanges but in Round 6 Johnson snuck a telling right hand in and dropped Mack hard. He beat the count but was hurt and couldn’t completely avoid Johnson’s follow up attack. He went down twice more, both from right hands and the bout was waived off. With the victory Johnson improved to 50-13-2 (34 KOs) and is now lined up for another title shot at IBF light heavyweight titleist Tavoris Cloud.

Guillermo Rigondeaux KO 1 Adolfo Landeros

Former Cuban amateur star Guillermo Rigondeaux improved to 5-0 (4 KOs) with a first round blowout of Adolfo Landeros earlier this evening in Florida on ESPN. Rigondeaux caught Landeros with a blistering body shot just moments in to the fight and ended things early. Quickly becoming one of the best body punchers in the sport, Rigondeaux has dispatched several of his last opponents with shots to the mid section and Friday night was no different. A telling left hand to Landeros’ undercarriage ended the bout at :28 of the opening stanza. Trained by Freddie Roach, Rigondeaux donated his purse from Friday’s bout to the Children of Haiti fund.

Freddy Hernandez KO 5 DeMarcus ‘Chop Chop’ Corley

It was bombs away on Showtime earlier this evening in Santa Ynez, California when rising welterweight Freddy Hernandez scored the most impressive win of his career to date when he stopped former world champion DeMarcus ‘Chop Chop’ Corley cold in his tracks with a brilliant fifth round KO. Both men had their moments early and Corley’s style presented Hernandez with some difficulty but in the fifth round a telling right hand bomb ended Corely’s night at the 1:48 mark. With the win Hernandez improved to 28-1 (19 KOs) while the well traveled Corley dropped to 36-13-1 (21 KOs).

Watch as heavyweights Tomasz Adamek and Jason Estrada tipped the scales earlier this afternoon in Newark, New Jersey ahead of their eagerly anticipated clash set for Saturday night.

The 12 round bout is scheduled to be an IBF heavyweight international championship fight and is being promoted by Main Events and Ziggy Promotions in association with Classic Entertainment and Sports Inc.

A compelling heavyweight tilt between Tomasz Adamek and Jason Estrada is on tap for this Saturday night. See what each fighter had to say as they prepare for battle in the ring.

Tomasz Adamek: “I never underestimate anyone, ever. This is boxing; you have to be prepared every time because you can lose not only the fight but also your health. I know what’s at stake on Saturday – for me and for Jason.”

Jason Estrada: “Funny thing is when I was playing video games as a light heavyweight I was always playing as Tomasz Adamek. Loved his style and I still love what he did in light heavy and cruiserweight division. But this is different story, he’s among big boys now and it will be over his head to fight people like me. Experience, ring ability – everything is on my side. He’s making a big error thinking that beating aging Golota makes him a good heavyweight. Not at all.”

Rigondeaux (4-0, 3 KOs), fighting as a super bantamweight, now lives in Los Angeles after defecting from Cuba, where he was a 7-time national champion. The 28-year-old southpaw also won multiple World Championships titles, as well as a gold medal at the 2003 Pan-Am Games, during his incredible 243-4 amateur career.

“Rigo,” who is trained by Freddie Roach and managed by Gary Hyde, faces Adolfo Landeros (20-12-1) in an 8-round bout on ESPN Friday Night Fights, live from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

“Guillermo’s gentle, caring heart will be full of fire Friday night for his fifth pro fight,” Irishman Hyde said. “He really wants to win impressively on ESPN. He definitely hasn’t let fame and all of the attention he’s received to go his head. ‘Rigo’ hasn’t forgotten the poverty he comes from. Hopefully, his thoughtful donation will encourage others to follow suit..”
