BOXING'S NEXT GENERATION OF CHAMPIONS HIT LAS VEGAS ON THE MAY 1 MAYWEATHER-MOSLEY TELEVISED UNDERCARD

BOXING'S NEXT GENERATION OF CHAMPIONS HIT LAS VEGAS ON THE MAY 1 MAYWEATHER-MOSLEY TELEVISED UNDER-CARD SAUL ALVAREZ VS. JOSE MIGUEL COTTO and DANIEL PONCE DE LEON VS. CORNELIUS LOCK and HECTOR SALDIVIA VS. SAID OUALI FEATURED ON THE HBO PAY-PER-VIEW® TELECAST

Boxing superstar and six-time World Champion Floyd "Money" Mayweather and welterweight mega-star, five-time World Champion and current WBA Welterweight World Champion Sugar Shane Mosley, are set to meet Saturday, May 1 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas in a spectacular bout which will be produced and distributed live on HBO Pay-Per-View® beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

In welterweight action, 19-year-old Mexican prodigy Saul "Canelo" Alvarez puts his unbeaten record on the line against veteran contender Jose Miguel Cotto in a 10-round bout, former World Champion Daniel Ponce De Leon and Cornelius Lock will face off in a 10-round featherweight match-up, while Argentinean power puncher Hector David Saldivia takes on Las Vegas native Said Ouali in a 10-round welterweight fight.

The event, promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions, and sponsored by Cerveza Tecate, AT&T, Dewalt Tools and StubHub, promises to be a spectacular display of talent and skill with Mayweather and Mosley meeting in a 12-round welterweight battle that is already being compared to other great and historic welterweight match-ups such as Sugar Ray Leonard against Tommy Hearns and Oscar de la Hoya against Felix Trinidad.

Unbeaten in 32 pro fights, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico's Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (31-0-1, 23 KOs) has quickly developed a tremendous fan base and is rapidly moving in on a world title shot. With the NABF, WBO Latino, WBC Youth and WBA Fedecentro welterweight title belts already in his trophy case, it's clear that the Mexican phenom is ready for the big time. Currently ranked fourth in the world by the WBC and WBO, Alvarez must first turn back the challenge of his toughest test to date, Jose Miguel Cotto, before moving closer to his dream of a world title shot.

The brother of boxing superstar Miguel Cotto, Jose Miguel Cotto (31-1-1, 23 KOs) is carving out his own niche in the fight game with an exciting style and a veteran's savvy. A 1996 Puerto Rican Olympian, the Caguas native is unbeaten in five fights since his hard-fought decision loss to Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz in a 2006 lightweight world title bout. Now fighting at 147 pounds, the 32-year-old feels that now is the time to shine and wants to prove it against Alvarez on May 1.

Known for his knockout power and warrior's heart, former Junior Featherweight World Champion Daniel Ponce De Leon (38-2, 32 KOs) has reinvented himself as a featherweight contender and with wins over Marlon "Rata" Aguilar, Roinet Caballero and Orlando "El Fenomeno" Cruz in his new weight class. A May 1 victory over the crafty Cornelius Lock should put him on a fast track to becoming a two-division world champion.

Winner of three of his last four bouts, including victories over 14-0 Juan Garcia, 27-1 Roger "Speedy" Gonzalez and 16-0-1 Orlando "El Fenomeno" Cruz, Detroit's Cornelius Lock (19-4-1, 12 KOs) is rapidly becoming a fighter opposing pugilists definitely don't want to see across the ring from them on fight night. The 31-year-old southpaw plans on spoiling Daniel Ponce De Leon's night this May.

Ranked fourth in the world by the WBA, Argentinean warrior Hector David Saldivia (33-1, 26 KOs) has been making waves in the welterweight division for the last two years. Winner of the WBA Fedelatin title, he has defeated the likes of Omar "Tito" Weis, Ricardo Cano, Daudy Bahari and Luis Rodriguez. On May 1, "El Tigre" makes his United States debut against Said Ouali.

A native of Morocco now fighting out of Las Vegas, Said Ouali (26-3, 18 KOs) gets a chance to perform in front of his adopted hometown crowd on May 1 when he takes on Argentina's Hector David Saldivia. Winner of 12 of his last 13 bouts, this southpaw standout who is ranked number five in the world by the WBA is well aware that he can catapult himself even higher up in the 147-pound rankings with a victory over Saldivia.

The Mayweather vs. Mosley pay-per-view telecast, which begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT, has a suggested retail price of $54.95, will be produced and distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View® and will be available to more than 71 million pay-per-view homes. The telecast will be available in HD-TV for those viewers who can receive HD.

Mayweather vs. Mosley Trainer Conference Call-In part

N. Richardson

Well, going forward, a lot of things come to pass. We see this as being an outstanding fight once again that relies on both participants, but I feel as though if you check the history you've never seen Shane Mosley in let alone a bad fight, you've never seen Shane Mosley in a boring fight. I don't see that changing at all in this fight, especially with an outstanding athlete such as Floyd Mayweather Jr. Like I said, this will be a matter of us putting the strategy together and seeing what the outcome is. In fact, both of us have exceptional athletes, but I'm still confident that our guys can get the job done. I look forward to the contest

N. Richardson:

I've said this before, and I'll repeat it. As far as Shane preparing for the Margarito fight and Shane preparing for the Mayweather fight, I'm very comfortable with his mental preparation. I'm very comfortable, and I'm more comfortable in either one of those fights than I was for the Berto fight because this is the level that Shane desires. This is where Shane knows he belongs.

Now, like we said, it's all right that I hear things of the nature, one side of the fence I hear people say undefeated, and they give you the impression because a guy hasn't lost yet he's great, but then they say the greatest fighter was Ray Robinson who lost fights. If Ray Robinson's the greatest fighter in your mind, then you do recommend great fighters lose fights. Right there in that contradiction itself, it explains what can happen in this fight on May 1.

R. Mayweather

Thank you. My name is Roger Mayweather. Obviously, you already know I'm training Floyd Mayweather. Of course, we're preparing now for the fight with Shane Mosley, which is not that far away. I don't think he's going to be- Shane Mosley's a good fighter, and I don't doubt that, but I truly believe that my nephew is the best fighter in the sport of boxing period hands down. I'm not saying what Shane Mosley can't do, but whatever he can do, he can't do it better than Floyd. That's what I'm saying. I understand about boxing.

I understand about boxing because I've been around boxing all of my life. They've both got tremendous skill. That's what makes a fight. They've both got a tremendous fan base. That's what makes a fight, but come on May 1^st, they're going to see why they call Floyd the best in the world.

There are a whole bunch of guys that are good. Good and great are two different things, and he's on the verge of greatness, so when it comes May 1^st, when all this is said and done, I won't even have to talk about how good Floyd is or how great he is or how, I won't even have to say anything because all that's going to be shared in the books and the papers. They're going to say it all week, so I don't have to say much of anything about that.

R. Mayweather

People don't even understand about boxing. One thing I'm going to tell them right now is to let them know that one of the fastest guys in the history of the sport of boxing was a 1976 Olympic gold medalist. It was Howard Davis Jr. He had tremendous speed, but he never won a world championship, and he fought guys that were much slower than him. It's not about speed that wins fights. Skill wins fights, and he's the most skilled fighter in the sport of boxing period hands down.

When you start talking about on a skill level or how, I'm not saying Shane Mosley's not a skilled fighter, but I said Floyd is the most skilled fighter in the sport. He understands boxing. That's what he's been doing all his life. Shane Mosley had a great career as well, but at the same time when you start talking about skill, then you guys understand. You know what I'm saying. He did fight Cotto, didn't he?

See you at the Fights. Thank You for your time.
