БРООКЛИН (Мај 30, 2015) – Премиер Бокс шампиона (ПБЦ) о Шиљакreturned to Brooklyn’s Barclays Center у петак night with another explosive night of bouts for fight fans. У главном догађају, Амир “Краљ” Кан (31-3, 19 КОс) scored a crafty and hard fought unanimous decision over Крис Алгиери (20-2, 8 КОс) и Хавијер Фортуна (28-0-1, 20 КОс) won a crowd-pleasing unanimous decision victory over Bryan Vasquez (34-2, 18 КОс) in the televised opener.

Below are comments made by the televised fighters after their performances вечерас:

AMIR KHAN

“I thought I worked well inside. I’ve never done a lot of work in the pocket like that and I plan to do more of that in the future.

“I give Chris a lot of credit. He came forward a lot more than we thought he would and he had a big chin вечерас.

“Chris gave it his all вечерас. This is the best Algieri we’ve seen in a long time, and if he’d have fought Manny (Пацкуиао) that way he might have won.

“Everyone knows I want Floyd (Маивеатхер) next after all the talk about it, but when you wait and hope for something for this long it can set you back. I don’t want to overlook any other fighters, including Chris.

“My first show with PBC has been great. The New York crowd was awesome and really got into it. The promotion was excellent and I’m proud to be a part of this team.”

Цхрис АЛГИЕРИ

“I thought I pressured Khan well and got my touches. He definitely didn’t like it when I got into his body.

“I thought I hurt him several times, but Khan’s a cagey fighter and he spins off. I guess the judges liked that вечерас. I would think the cleaner, harder shots would get a little more respect.

“I think PBC is fantastic. The focus is on the fighters, not the politics or the promoters. This is helping bring the sport back to boxing’s glory days of primetime events for the fans.

“I haven’t thought much about after this fight. Разочаран сам, but I’ll watch the film from this fight and we’ll go from there.”

ЈАВИЕР ФОРТУНА

“I’m very surprised that the fight went the distance. Vasquez is a strong fighter. After the fifth round, I was boxing to score points.

“I was never really hurt by Vasquez, but I hurt my own hand on his head.

“Vasquez didn’t really affect me throughout the fight. The swelling on my eye is from a headbutt.

“The biggest key to my success вечерас was my training. Before this I didn’t have the stamina that I needed. Међутим, after my work with Hector Bermudez leading up to this fight I was more than ready.

“Becoming a champion here in New York is huge for me. I’m very proud of my performance вечерас.”

BRYAN VASQUEZ

“My style is to box and then move. Fortuna fought a smart fight вечерас. He wouldn’t engage me and fight.

“Fortuna used his head and elbows a lot вечерас, but I don’t want to use that as an excuse. I tried telling the referee, but nothing was done.

“I worked very hard for three months of training to get to this fight. I hope I won over some fans today because I fight to please them.

“Hopefully I get a rematch because this is not the end of my career, and I’d love the chance to take that belt from Fortuna.

“I want to thank PBC for this opportunity. It was great being a part of this show and I hope they’ll think of me again in the future.”
