No holiday for Bruseles!

[borikua]

Henry 'El Nitro' Bruseles will glove up, hit the bags, go into the ring and spar on Christmas Day and New Year Day in his hometown gym of Caguas, Puerto Rico. Bruseles is getting prepared to take on two-time world champion Floyd Mayweather at the AmericanAirlines Arena, Miami, Jan. 22 on HBO. "It will be a big sacrifice to miss the holidays, but the pay-off will be very big when I win," Bruseles told Primer Hora in Puerto Rico. Bruseles has being working very hard for this opportunity. "I know this a big fight for me and I feel more then ready for the challenge. A victory here will open many doors for me and lead me right to a world title fight," said Bruseles. Bruseles, 21-1-2, is totally confident he can defeat Mayweather. "Mayweather looked slow and got tired in his first fight at 140 (against DeMarcus Corley in Atlantic City.) I'm a natural 140 pounder and that will be my big advantange. As soon as he feels my power he's going to run, so I have to be ready to stop him from running and make him fight" On his game plan against Mayweather he said: "I am going to be very agressive. Hit him with everything I got from the first bell to the last. I will work the body early in this fight. "I'm looking forward to fighting in Miami. There are many Latinos there who will be rooting for me and I will give them my best effort," said Bruseles.

He's gonna need that commitment and more to have a chance against Mayweather. But if Floyd goes in there fighting the crowd pleasing style he did against Chop Chop Corley the fight may not be quite as easy for Mayweather as everyone is making it out to be. I hope Mayweather will come in with that new style and put on a good show because he needs it on the verge of his first Pay-Per-Veiw.

I know that Bruseles is not well known, but he's good and I still believe that Floyd doesn't belong with the 140 pounders...

This could be Mayweather's last fight for a while considering he has tons of charges against him, that include assault and domestic abuse. I hope he doesn't go to jail because he is one of my favorites and I wanted to see him have a huge year but jail does look likley.

I think that Floyd's uncle has finally converted him into a offensive fighter and he will fight this way for now on. I disagree with alot of people who seem to think that this will affect his defense. I think he can fight this way and still be great defensively. I think Chop just caught him a couple of times because of he was a southpaw. He also faught that way against N'Dou and didnt have any problems

I think Floyd does belong here and will dominate the division, but I give Zoo his respect as being #1 right now. I've never seen Bruseles before. How good is he and what are his strengths and weakness. One thing that was funny is that he said Floyd looked slow. I hope he doesnt underestimate Floyd's speed because he will be in for a major shock

Bruseles is a kool guy I hope he gives a good fight I night even root for him to win but Ill be beting on Mayweather by KO

[DLT]

can someone tell me about this guy

[spinksjinx]

Im sure Mayweathers late partying antics cant be good for him either, Just last week it was reported he was up at late hours in the night having altercations in a night club...This cant be suitable training for Floyd.

Bruseles is 21 - 2 - 1 (13). He cuts and he doesn`t do one thing special, he is more or less an all rounder. Mayweather is too good in all departments and i expect a brave Bruseles to be TKO`d in about 7 rounds!
