这里是参与者不得不说 星期五:
BADOU JACK
“I’ll be ready for this fight. Bute is a very tough opponent. I have to bring my ‘A’ game to win. Much respect to him, but he’s not leaving with my belt. Absolutely not. You can expect a very tough fight.
“Bute is a much, much tougher opponent that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., but I’m ready for him.
“Bute’s fight against DeGale was one of the best fights last year. That’s the only reason he got this shot. 他失去了, but he looked good. 这是一个伟大的斗争. 四月 30 will be another great fight. And another loss for Bute.”
卢西恩弼
“This is a great opportunity for me to fight again for a title. 我感觉很好, I started camp six weeks ago. 最重要的, I’m very healthy. Psychologically, I’m looking forward to becoming a world champion on 四月 30.
“I respect Badou Jack. He is a great champion, 一个伟大的战士, 但 四月 30, I will become a world champion again. 我对此很期待.
“I will be the new champion. I am very confident. 我希望它是一个非常艰苦的战斗, but I am coming here to win.
“I have a new team. They are changing some things in my work. My confidence is 100 百分. I’m working every day very tough and I am confident that everything will be great for 四月 30.”
梅威瑟, 梅威瑟促销总统
“This fight is about the best facing the best. I’ve seen Bute fight numerous times and he’s a very exciting and explosive fighter. Every time he goes out there and performs he gives 100 百分.
“Mayweather Promotions is about giving people the best and most exciting fights.
“I commend Badou Jack for the way that he carries himself. He is a true gentlemen and that is what this sport is all about. He’s going to continue to make a name for himself in this sport.”
PIERRE DUC, VP of Interbox
“We’re very thrilled about this fight. For those of you who have not been exposed to Lucian Bute before, 他是一个伟大的战士. He’s been working extremely hard over the course of the last 6-12 months getting ready for a moment like this.
“Bute has a very long history of fighting great fights and championship wars. Lucian will be ready for this.
“Training camp is going astonishingly well. Lucian is usually more of a gentleman, so he will say he wants to do the best that he can, but I’m telling you that Lucian is going to be walking away with this belt. It’s going to be a fantastic and very exciting evening. Lucian will pull the upset on 四月 30.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, 执行副总裁 & 总经理, SHOWTIME体育
“The one comment I will make about this event, other than to point out it features four of the best fighters in the division, is that it was quite possibly the easiest event to make out of all the events we made this spring and summer. That’s a credit to the promoters and especially a credit to all four fighters.
“We didn’t just make two fights here. We’ve got the winners of these fights fighting later in the year in a unification match. To be able to make two fights very quickly and to get everyone on board with fighting the winners in a unification match with no mess, no politics, no arguments and no hesitation is an accomplishment.
“These are four real fighters here and they were not afraid of a challenge, they didn’t hesitate at all. This is what the sport of boxing is all about. I personally can’t wait for April 30th and for a unification later in the year.”
