Floyd vows brutal beating!

"He going to get a brutal beating, absolutely," promises Floyd Mayweather when he faces WBC welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir in an HBO-PPV clash on Saturday in Las Vegas. "That's what the fans want to see and that's what I want to give the fans....[Baldomir] is looking to get a knockout on me and he wants to be on the cover on all the newspapers the next day. But like I told him, 'you're going to get a chance to be on the cover of the newspaper the next day.' You won't be able to see his face because he's going to be face down, but you are going to be able to see him."

As for Baldomir's prediction of a KO, Floyd stated, "He's entitled to say what he wants to say, but he'd better not make no mistakes....he ain't got no punch at all. All he can do is box and in 15 minutes both eyes will be closed, then he's putting that white flag up in the air or you see the referee count to ten. Fighters are going to say what they're going to say. I talk with my hands."

"Do I believe I am, I am going to knock him out?" Floyd asks rhetorically. "I don't believe - I AM going to knock him out!....I'm going to be at my best. I'm always at my best. I'm in tremendous shape for this fight."
