Danny O'Connor, Framingham, MA:

“I think the show is big but, for me, it’s just another fight with Paul. I’m excited about the challenge in front of me, matching my skills against somebody like Paul with his resume. Ngithathe ugxile kakhulu. All the work is done here (in gym).”

URyan Kielczweski, Quincy, MA:

“It’s really cool fighting close to home on such a big card with double world title fights. Someday, hopefully, I’ll be there. I’m focusing on my fight and when that’s over I’ll watch Edwin (Rodriguez) fight.”

Javier Fortuna, The Romanian, I-Dominican Republic

“I feel super good and super confident. I’ve been training here (Boston) but haven’t seen much of the city. I expect a lot of fans there for me. I’ve been doing a lot of Spanish interviews. I await their approval of my performance.”

Jonathan Guzman, ISanto Domingo, I-Dominican Republic

“I feel very, very good. Ngikulungele ukulwa, 19 ngoba 19 (19 kwi, 19 Kos). I have a lot of family living in Lawrence (suburb) of Boston) and I’ve been staying here (S. Boston).”

Ken Casey, President & CEO of Murphys Boxing

“Boston is a sports-crazed city with a lot of good local fighters. It’s a shame a show like this hasn’t happened here in a long time. Sometimes it just takes good fighters and the right promoter to help them. It’s the perfect combination now.”
