“Roman is very good fighter and I’m ready for a tough fight. He’s progressed a lot. He’s a good puncher, counter puncher and works the body. But I’m ready for whatever he brings. A win would be huge — it puts me in contention to fight a world champion.’’
Sangat baik petinju-pons dan taktik yang suka melawan, Lopez was a standout amateur before going pro in February 2012. He is coming off an eighth-round knockout over Carlos Valcarcel pada Nov. 11, 2016, and is facing likely his toughest test to date in Lopez.

"Sekarang, I know what they’re looking for. This time I’ll finish super strong and put on a show. I need this to further my career and put me in main event fights.

“I’m ready and excited to get back in the ring,’’ said Brooker. “I can’t wait to fight another undefeated fighter on ShoBox. I’m still looking to get to the next level. I was at Ellis’ last fight, and I saw an average fighter compared to the guys I’ve fought. He’s solid, throws nice, short punches but runs out of gas.
“In my last fight I lost because I kept looking for the KO. I have a new trainer now (Gaunch Muhammad), and I’m getting back to the technical part of boxing. I’m jabbing more, and in my previous camps I wasn’t jabbing or boxing enough. I have the heart and condition but I have to get to my opponent with the jab.’’

I need to take care of business and get my win on national television. It’s as simple as that.”

LAS VEGAS (Desember. 17, 2016) - Sebagai buntut dari berita Sabtu bahwa WBC Interim gelar kelas berat pertarungan di Rusia antara mantan juara kelas berat Piala Emas dan top-peringkat Alexander Povetkin telah dibatalkan karena Povetkin diuji positif untuk obat lagi, Hall of Fame promotor Don “Hanya Di Amerika” Raja menawarkan solusi sederhana:
Menyatakan petinjunya, Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 Biaya), Las Vegas, juara interim.
“Aku sudah hormat lama dengan WBC, dimulai dengan Jose Sulaiman dan sekarang dengan anaknya, Mauricio, yang telah melakukan pekerjaan yang luar biasa mengisi sepatu ayahnya sebagai presiden WBC dan baru saja terpilih kembali untuk empat tahun lagi. Aku berdiri dengan mereka dan dengan WBC untuk mencoba untuk melakukan hal-hal dengan cara yang benar dan dengan prosedur keselamatan organisasi mereka sehubungan dengan petinju dan olahraga.
“Ini menyedihkan tapi orang ini, Povetkin, telah menjadi malu Total. Dia sekarang diuji positif di dua perkelahian gelar kelas berat WBC berturut-turut. Aku semua untuk menang dan kalah perkelahian di atas ring, tapi saatnya keadilan untuk menang.

Mengapa memasang semua uang itu untuk perjalanan dan biaya dan kemudian tidak bertengkar. Dia sudah siap untuk mengalahkan Povetkin dan mendapatkan kembali bagian dari gelar WBC.
“Dan kemudian - lebih buruk lagi — bagi mereka untuk mencoba dan meletakkannya di Bermane untuk tidak berjuang hanya menggelikan. Mereka mengambil korban dan berusaha menjebaknya sebagai penjahat dalam hal ini.’’
Stiverne ditarik keluar setelah WBC menarik sanksi yang karena Poverkin diuji positif untuk Ostarine zat terlarang. Presiden WBC Mauricio Sulaiman mengungkapkan tes positif oleh Asosiasi Sukarela Anti-Doping (GO) di Sabtu pagi. Kemudian, WBC menarik pengakuan dari pertarungan.
“Tidak ada alasan untuk melawan jika WBC tidak akan sanksi pertarungan,”Kata Stiverne, yang bisa pergi melalui dengan pertarungan tapi tanpa sanksi yang memilih untuk tidak. “Saya sangat kecewa dengan tindakan Povetkin. Saya sudah berlatih selama berbulan-bulan untuk menang.
“Untuk bangun hari pertarungan, sarapan, tidur siang dan kemudian mencari tahu ia dinyatakan positif adalah situasi terburuk.”
Ini adalah kedua kalinya dalam tujuh bulan Povetkin (30-1-0, 22 Biaya) telah diuji positif untuk obat terlarang. Dia dinyatakan positif Meldonium menjelang dijadwalkan pertarungan Mei dengan Wilder, membatalkan pertarungan itu.
Jika itu terjadi, pemenang perjuangan untuk gelar kelas berat WBC interim akan menjadi penantang wajib untuk Wilder. Stiverne kehilangan gelar WBC untuk Wilder pada 12 ronde pada Jan. 15, 2015. Dia satu-satunya tempur untuk pergi jarak dengan Wilder.
