Carson, Calif. (Iunie 6) – Southern California boxing fans were treated to an afternoon of hard punches and quick action as Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on NBC took to the ring at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. The Saturday afternoon fight card, part of a jam-packed day of sports action on NBC, showcased a heavyweight brawl between Dominic Breazeale and Yasmany Consuegra and a fast and furious welterweight bout between Robert Guerrero and Aron Martinez.

 

In the PBC on NBC main event, Guerrero and Martinez let their fists fly from the opening bell to the closing bell in a showdown that saw over 1,000 punches thrown between the two welterweights over 10 runde. It was clear from the beginning of the fight that Martinez was not intimidated by Guerrero’s skills or resume as he dominated the first several rounds, even dropping Guerrero in the fourth. But Guerrero was able to turn the table in his favor as the fight progressed and dominate the second half of the 10 round brawl. Juriul a marcat meciul 97-95 și 95-94 for Guerrero and 95-94 for Martinez in a split decision victory that brought the crowd to its feet.

 

BREAZEALE, o 2012 S.U.A.. Olympian and Southern California-native, needed less than three rounds to defeat previously unbeaten heavyweight Conguegra. The referee called off the fight at 1:49 of the third round after Consuegra hit the canvas three times as Breazeale extended his professional record to 15-0 cu 14 KO.

 

The featured fight on NBC SportsNet saw a featherweight battle between the once-beaten Argentinean Jesus Cuellar and former world champion Vic Darchinyan that came to a half when Cuellar knocked out Darchinyan at 1:04 of the seventh round.

 

NBCSN also featured the return of Alfredo Angulo, who scored a fifth-round knockout victory over Delray Raines in a middleweight contest that saw “Câine” raise his hand in victory for the first time since 2012.

 

Here is what the fighters had to say about Saturday afternoon’s fights:

 

ROBERT GUERRERO

 

Aron Martinez came to fight and the fans got to see two warriors go at it.

I can’t explain why I go to war so much. I just love to get in there and mix it up.

When I got up off the canvas, I told myselfget up and win this fight.

Once I started boxing I felt I started dominating the fight.

We got the victory and now it’s time to move on to some big fights and give the fans the warrior type fights they deserve. I’m an action fighter and I’ll continue to be so.

 

There is something about this arena that makes you want to stand there and trade.

 

I just suffered the loss of my cousin. She passed away last week and this fight was for her.

 

 

ARON MARTINEZ

 

“Sunt foarte fericit cu performanța mea. Am crezut că am câștigat lupta.

 

I thought the third scorecard was way out of line.

 

It was a great experience fighting on NBC. I wanted to put on a great fight for the fans and me and Robert did that.

 

I look forward to being more active and fighting again as soon as possible.

 

DOMINIC BREAZEALE

 

Its always a little different to fight in the afternoon. The fans came out to support me. I put on a big show and got the win.

 

He was putting his hand on his right side and I was hitting him with the upper cut.

 

“Nu am putut cere pentru ceva mai bun.

 

I’d love to be back in the ring as soon as possible. Everybody did a great job putting this together. This was only three rounds right here and lets do it again in a couple months.

 

ISUS Cuellar

 

I wasn’t hurt. It was more of a slip. Darchinyan is a very tough warrior and I’m glad I came out on top.

 

I want to fight again as soon as possible. I saw Abner Mares sitting in the first row and I want to fight him next.

 

Alfredo Angulo

 

I have so many fans and I want to thank them. They are here cheering for mecheering for the dog. I always say it’s for the fans and I want to thank them for the support.

 

This is my first fight coming back to my old trainer [Clemente Medina] and it was great.

 

A lot of people say ‘the dog is dead,’ but if you ask the people that saw my performance, they will all tell you the dog is alive and well.

It’s a unique event starting so early. I’ll get up, eat and go fight but I’m ready for it.

 

I want to fight often, inactivity is the worst thing for a fighter. I want to fight three-four times per year, every year.

 

I never take another fighter lightly. This is a huge opportunity for Aron Martinez and I’m sure he’ll be ready for a real fight.

 

Fighting on NBC puts all the eyes on me. I know how big of a platform this is.

 

StubHub Center is a terrific venue, fans are right on top of you. I love fighting there and I’m not going to leave the fans disappointed.

 

ARON MARTINEZ

 

“Ca Sâmbătă, expect a great fight. O să fie un război. I want to go in there and show everybody who I am.

 

I know how tough of a fighter Robert is, he’s fought at the top level for a long time.

 

I’m a brawler and I’m ready to test whatever skills he has. I need to close the distance, stay on top of him and get to him early. My power will surprise him.

 

I love StubHub Center. I’ve been there many times to watch fights and can’t wait to fight there myself.

 

“Aceasta este o mare oportunitate pentru mine, fighting on such a big card. We know Robert is a former world champion but I’m focused and ready. I’ve trained extra hard for this fight.

 

DOMINIC BREAZEALE

 

Everything starts off the jab, I need to put pressure on him early. I’ve seen a couple of YouTube clips of him fighting but the key is to focus on what I do best.

 

This is a huge opportunity for me to fight on NBC at StubHub Center and I plan to take full advantage of it.

 

This camp has been great, my whole team has done a phenomenal job getting me ready for this fight.

 

I have to thank my opponent for coming out and putting his record on the line. When I’m done with him, he’ll be 17-1. I’m looking for an early round knockout and I want to keep the fans on the edge of their seats.

 

YASMANY CONSUEGRA

 

I’m very prepared for this fight. I’m thankful to Dominic for taking this fight and I can’t wait to put on a show sâmbătă după amiază.

 

I feel strong and ready for this challenge. My team has done everything they need to help me come out victorious.

 

I was part of the national team in Cuba which is very difficult to do. I’m not worried about any hype leading into this fight.

 

ISUS Cuellar

 

First Darchinyan, Then Leo Santa Cruz or Abner Mares, those are the fighters

I’m targeting.

 

He can talk as much as he wants but we’re going to fight and find out who is better sâmbăta.

 

I’m very prepared and ready to represent Argentina. I trained hard and I’m ready to get in the ring. I’ve put in the hard work and I’m going to step inside the ring and showcase my talent for all of Argentina.

 

VIC DARCHINYAN

 

I will demolish this kid sâmbăta, I have much more experience.

 

He has no idea what’s going to happen.

 

I was a champion for many years and want to win another title. I will show everyone that I’m still capable sâmbăta.

 

We’re going to see great fights and great action sâmbăta. I’m ready to go and I hope everyone enjoys the fights.

 

Alfredo Angulo

 

I’m so happy to be here in Los Angeles and fighting so close to home. 'Cainele’ is coming back and you’ll see that sâmbăta.

 

“Sunt foarte incantata sa fie din nou în ring. It’s been a bit of a layoff but I want to be as active and busy as possible.

 

I’m back now with Clemente Medina. I work best with him and I’m happy to be back training in Los Angeles again.

 

I recently got married. I’m much more settled and much more focused on my career. I look forward to becoming a champion again.

 

OSCAR MOLINA

 

My left shoulder is completely healed, the recovery took a while which was frustrating but now all systems are go.

 

I’ve prepared well for this fight and I’m excited to go out and perform. It’s an honor for me to be on the same card as all these great fighters. I’m going to give a great show sâmbăta.

 

I don’t know much about my opponent but I’ve been very busy in the gym learning everyday and I look forward to setting the pace and fighting my fight sâmbăta.

 

I’ve been going to fights at StubHub Center for years and it’s great to be fighting there for the first time.

CINCINNATI’S ADRIEN BRONER & AKRON’S SHAWN PORTER DISCUSS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN OHIO CHAMPION

Broner & Porter Square Off On Sâmbătă, Iunie 20 On Premier Boxing Champions on NBC Live From MGM Grand Garden Arena

La 8:30 P. M. ȘI/5:30 P. M. PT

LAS VEGAS (Iunie 4, 2015) – While the eyes of the sports world are fixated on game 1 of the NBA Finals between LeBron JamesCleveland Cavaliers and Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors la noapte, two other great Ohio athletes will look to bring the glory of victory home with them when Adrien “Problema” Broner și “Arată Timpul” Shawn Porter meet in the ring on Premier box Campionilor pe NBC pe Sâmbătă, Iunie 20 (8:30 p.m. ȘI/5:30 p.m. PT).

 

Both of these fighters have joined the list of Ohio-born world champions that include boxing greats such as Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini, Aaron Pryor, Buster Douglas and Kelly Pavlik.

 

The all-Ohio battle comes in the midst of an exciting time for Ohio sports. In addition to the Ohio State University football team’s national championship winning performance in January, Akron’s own LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers are attempting bring the city of Cleveland its first professional sports championship since 1964.

 

Here is what Broner and Porter had to say about Ohio sports, LeBron and more:

 

Did you root for Ohio-sports teams growing up? Which ones were your favorite and who were your favorite players? What’s your favorite memory of watching Ohio sports teams?

Adrien Broner:I grew up watching the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Cavaliers. I didn’t start watching basketball until I was playing more of it in elementary and high school. That’s when LeBron first came into the league. I remember LeBron’s very first game in Cleveland. It was huge. Most players freeze under that kind of hype, but not him.

Shawn Porter: “I’ve always been a huge Browns fan. I’ve tried to watch every draft and every preseason and regular season game. I got into the Cavaliers a little more when I was in high school. I’m an all around Ohio sports fan though.

How would you describe Ohio-sports fans? How badly do you want to win for them?

AB:Ohio fans are very supportive. Some other states don’t like us because we come out strong. I would love to win for the fans in Ohio because bringing a championship back there means a lot to me. I’ve done it three times already and I’m looking for a fourth. You always want that rush again.

SP: We’re crazy! Cleveland fans root for their teams with a love and respect that’s admirable. Whether it’s good days or bad days we’re faithful and trying to stay positive. It would be huge for me to win for the fans here and represent Ohio. I’m doing this for everyone in Northeast Ohio. This is a statement about a great kid from Ohio representing the people there and winning another big fight.

How important was LeBron James returning to Cleveland for the psyche of Ohio sports?

AB: “LeBron coming home was very important because he’s made the Cavs so much better. With him in Cleveland we’re back in the championship series.

SP: “LeBron coming home was huge. If he didn’t return I don’t know what we’d have done. There probably would have been more riots. But him coming back brought joy to all of us in Ohio. That’s part of our job as professional athletes to bring joy and positivity to family, friends and the fans. That’s exactly what he did by returning to Cleveland.

 

Will you be watching the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals? Do you have a prediction for the series?

AB: “I’ll definitely be watching the games. No training until after the game la noapte. I think Cleveland wins it all in six games.

SP: “Eu nu fac predictii. I’m praying for the Cavs to do this for the city and for themselves. Hopefully they can pull it together and get what they deserve. It would be a great to get a win for the team and for NE Ohio. I’ll be watching every game on my projection screen.

Describe what it’s like to fight in front of a hometown crowd in Ohio?

AB: It’s always fun fighting at home in front of a lot of people who know you. Even when your back is against the wall they cheer and help push me on.

 

SP: “Sincer, all the crowds are the same when I’m in the ring. I’m actually looking forward to fighting in the big arena at MGM Grand though. I kind of like having a mix of people in the crowd with some for and some against me.

Is there more pressure and emphasis on performing well on Iunie 20 to walk away with bragging rights in Ohio?

AB:I think I already have the bragging rights in Ohio.

SP: There’s no added pressure, it honestly doesn’t matter to me like that. This is first and foremost about my team. We’re successful as a team and as a family.

If you could meet one athlete from or who played in the state of Ohio who would it be?

AB: “I’d have to say myself.

SP: I met my all-time favorite Cris Carter already. Cris is from Ohio and went to Ohio State. I haven’t met Charles Woodson or LeBron though. Charles is from here, but he went to Michigan for college. But I’d really love to meet LeBron because he’s still doing his thing and he has that burning desire to win. I need to have that same desire and I’m learning that from watching him play.

Lisa Milner

Mulțumesc, toată lumea, for joining us today. We have a very exciting call. All four of the fighters participating on the televised portion of acest sâmbătă Premier Boxing Champions on NBC telecast will be with us. We are going to start with the heavyweights, and before we head to those fighters, I’m going to turn it over to Tom Brown, head of TGB Promotions to tell you a little more about the event and introduce our first set of fighters.

 

Tom Brown

Bine, thank you and thank you very much to the media for joining us on this call. TGB Promotions is very happy working again with PBC on this excellent card to be telecast on NBC sâmbătă afternoon from the famed StubHub Center in Carson. The doors opensâmbăta la 11:00 a.m. cu primul clopot la 11:15 a.m. We go on live TV starting at12:00 p.m. PT. It’s a huge sports day for NBC. They’re also telecasting the French Open, the Belmont Stakes, and game two of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

 

The main event is former world champion, Robert Guerrero (32-3-1 18 KO) out of Gilroy, California. Robert’s no stranger to the southern California boxing fans, having posted two huge wins in recent years: the sensational 12-round decision over Andre Berto in November 2012 down in Ontario, and his epic fight-of-the-year win over Yoshihiro Kamegai on June 21, 2014 at the StubHub Center.

 

Aaron Martinez, West Covina, California are un record de (19-3-1, 4 KO). He made his bones on the southern California boxing circuit, and knows how valuable this opportunity to face Guerrero is on such a big platform. Martinez never takes a backward step, never tires, and that’s his primary weapon: incredible stamina. With the styles of Guerrero-Martinez, this main event has all the makings of another action-packed StubHub Center war to add to the venue’s history.

 

In the televised co-main, the opening fight, we’ve got two outstanding, undefeated young heavyweight prospects: S.U.A.. Olympian Dominic Breazeale (14-0, 13 KO). He competed in the 2012 London games, and Yasmany Consuegra (17-0, 14 KO) outstanding Cuban amateur with a perfect pro record.

 

Din nou, ușile se vor deschide la 11:00 a.m. Biletele încep de la $25 and we’re looking forward to seeing the great boxing fans of southern California attend this great event.

 

L. Milner

We’re going to do the heavyweights now. Dominic, could you make an opening statement before we turn it over to the media?

Dominic Breazeale

This is Dominic Breazeale. Good afternoon, doamnelor și domnilor. I’m excited to be part of this fantastic card this Saturday, Iunie 6lea. Can’t wait to get in the ring and show off my skills.

 

L. Milner

Mare. Mulțumesc. And Luis DeCubas Jr. is on the line to translate for Yasmany. Luis, could you ask him to make just a quick opening statement and then translate that for us?

 

Consuegra Yasmany

I want to thank everybody on the call. I want to thank NBC, the PBC, Al Haymon for this opportunity and all the people involved. I look forward to a great fight. Sâmbăta, I want to show everyone who I am.

Q

Hei, Dominic, it seems to me it’s safe to say that this is going to be your toughest opponent to date. Would you agree with that, and if so, how excited are you to get this opportunity to move up in competition and show what you’ve been able to learn?

 

D. BREAZEALE

Definitely toughest competition to date thus far. Categoric, Yasmany is 17-0, 14 KO. One of those guys that steps in the ring with a ton of confidence. We’re both undefeated fighters and I was extremely excited when I got the call. Thanks to Al and the team. Thanks to NBC, we’ll be able to perform in front of the whole world, nationwide, and I couldn’t ask for more. It’s a great setting, a great way to have a stepping-stone to the next level. I want to be considered the top heavyweight and I guess you’ve got to fight top guys to get there.

 

Q

What do you know about Consuegra?

 

D. BREAZEALE

I know he’s got a great amateur record. I know he did real well in Cuba, the Cuba National team. He had some great fights here in the States. He fought a lot in Florida.I know he’s got a boxing style. I know he’s going to come out tough. Cuban fighters always do.

 

Q

Dominic, you’ve had a lot of knockouts in your early career in the pros, but this is going to be your biggest fight yet with another undefeated fighter. Can you talk about your transition from the amateur style, which obviously you had to do in the Olympics, to the professional style?

 

D. BREAZEALE:

Like you said, it’s going to be a big fight with a guy that’s undefeated. I’m sure he’s coming in looking to knock me out. I’m coming in to knock him out, desigur. Dar, amateur transition into the pros, I would say was a little bit easier for myself than it was for most amateurs. amatorii, a lot of my wins came by way of knockouts, so I’ve been knocking guys out since day one.

 

It’s one of those things that I transitioned from putting punches in bunches to putting punches in bunches with power. I’m throwing a lot more punches now. I’m putting a lot more punches together with power. Every punch I throw has got devastating power. I not only punch with the right hand, but I can punch with the left. So long as I make contact, somebody’s going down for sure.

 

Q

Can you talk about the experience factor? You both fought a number of guys who have a lot of fights under their belt. Ultima sa lupta, he defeated Taurus Sykes, who’s been around for a long time, a guy with a winning record. Tell us where you think you’re at. Because eventually, everybody wants to become a world champion, but what level do you think you’re at and how does that compare to Yasmany?

D. BREAZEALE

I think I’m right up there, dacă nu, definitely above him. I’ve fought some very experienced guys and guys that have been former Olympians, precum și. Guys like Matt Galer, who have been in heavyweight ranks and considered top contenders at one point. Me and Matt put on a great fight.

 

My last fight with Victor Bisbal, that was March 7lea a acestui an. He’s a Puerto Rican Olympian. He came out with a great amateur background, very good professional background. When I finally beat him he had fought some experienced guys as well, so I definitely have the experience there. Not only as an amateur, but definitely as a pro, prea.

Q

And a similar question for Yasmany. Pentru mine, it looks like this is going to be your biggest fight as a pro. Where do you think you are as a professional at this point? Where do you think you rank overall in the professional ranks?

 

Y. Consuegra

It’s definitely my toughest fight. Breazeale’s a real good fighter out of the pros, but I’ve also had a great amateur background. I fought the best of the best, evident. The Cuban heavyweight program is much more difficult than the American heavyweight program, and he was an Olympian, but I won a lot of world amateur tournaments. I look forward to just getting in the ring with Breazeale and showing what I’ve got, because I think I could beat Breazeale, and I think I’m ready for Breazeale. The top guys in the division, I’m going to show them.

 

Q

Yasmany, how influenced are you by some of the great Cuban fighters and heavyweights of the past year: Teofilo Stevenson, Felix Savon, și multe altele? How much of a role have they played in influencing your style?

 

Y. Consuegra

Evident, Cuba has a great history of Cuban amateur heavyweights. I like to put my style more toward Savon, who is a power puncher, as looking for the knockout at all times. And Stevenson’s a great fighter, but he’s more of a boxer, so was Roberto Balado, but that’s definitely a great point.

Q

How does it feel to be fighting on NBC in front of such a big network audience, especially on a day when you’re going to be right in between French Open final and Stanley Cup game. Dominic, could you answer that first?

 

D. BREAZEALE

I am definitely excited. I’ve got to thank NBC for giving me the opportunity to fight on this card. It’s a wonderful date. Can’t ask for anything better: southern California, amiază. Sun’s going to be out. The weather is going to be great. Great venue at the StubHub Center there. It’s definitely exciting. Whenever I get a chance to perform in front of a hometown crowd, family and friends, and things like that, it brings out the best in me, so I’m definitely looking forward to it and, cum am spus, I’ve got to thank NBC, Al Haymon, Goossen Promotions for putting this all together. My team, all of you guys, I definitely, truly appreciate it.

 

Q

And Louis, could you ask Yasmany the same question?

 

Y. Consuegra

Da, it’s definitely the biggest fight of my life, the biggest fight of my career. At this moment, I’d also like to thank Dominic Breazeale for taking this type of risk. Not too many guys are willing to take these risks to fight an undefeated heavyweight and fight the best. Așa, it’s a big day for both of us, and come Sâmbătă, I’m going to show everybody that I’m one of the top guys in the division.

 

L. Milner

Bine, mare. Mulțumesc, both, so much. We will see you this week for a great event. We have the main event on the line now, so I’m going to turn it back over to Tom Brown to introduce Robert Guerrero and Aaron Martinez. Tom, ia-o de aici.
T. Maro

Bine, mare. Mulțumesc. În primul rând, I’d like to introduce former world champion, Robert “Duhul” Războinic, din nou, cu un record de 32-3-1 și 18 KO, making a quick return to the PBC on NBC.

 

Robert Guerrero

I just want to thank everybody for being on and I’m ready to go.

 

T. Maro

Bine, we’ve got Aron Martinez here also, cu un record de 19-3-1, and he understands how valuable this opportunity is to face Guerrero on such a big platform.

Aron Martinez

Da, desigur, Sunt aici. Este o mare oportunitate pentru mine; I’m ready for battle. We’re at weight and everything went pretty good at this camp, and what can I say, unul? Just excited to fight Sâmbătă.

Q

Robert, you’re a guy that has fought a lot of big name fighters over a really nice career, an illustrious career. Does it become a little more difficult to get up for a fighter like Aron Martinez who is, kind of unknown, at least as compared to the other guys that you’ve fought?

 

R. Războinic

Nu Face, not at all. Coming off the last fight with a loss at the short end of the stick, it drives you to be hungry. Așa, that’s why I wanted to get right back into the ring, stay active. That’s one of the biggest problems with being inactive and not having enough action throughout the year. The year layoffs, a nine-, eight-month layoff, it really kills you, especially at that championship elite level. It’s hard to come back and be 100 percent sharp, so the plan is to just stay sharp all year and get back on it.

 

Q

Ce știi despre el? Do you watch any tapes of your opponents or anything like that?

 

R. Războinic

Da, I’ve watched some tape on him. I watched a few of his fights that I found on YouTube and he’s a crafty little guy. He’s in there and he can fight on the inside. He’s got some good counter shots and he mixes it up. Așa, you’ve just got to be ready for everything all around, because you never know what’s going to come your way, especially when this is such a big opportunity for him, fighting on NBC. You know he’s going to come 100 percent ready and that seems to happen all the time when I fight somebody. They come 10 percent better than they were in their last couple of fights, so it’s about being prepared and being ready for whatever comes.

 

Q

Is there any concern about coming back to the ring so soon after a brutal fight like you just had three months ago?

 

R. Războinic

Oh, nu face, not at all. Pentru mine, the fight wasn’t even that brutal. It may have been brutal for Thurman, but I was just getting started toward the end. It actually feels good to get right back in. I got right back into the gym three weeks after that and stayed on it. Așa, after I left that ring, I still felt good. My body felt good. I just had that cut, got that taken care of, but other than that, Mă simt minunat. That’s why I’m jumping right back in the ring so quick.

 

Q

I know you’re a well-known fighter throughout your career, but was there any difference after fighting on that show. That was the most viewed fight in quite a long time, being that it was on free TV on a primetime Sâmbătă noapte. Așa, I just want to know if anything changed on your end, like more notoriety.

 

R. Războinic

Categoric. When you have a 96-year-old woman come up to you in the parking lot and say, “Om, what a great fight; that reminds me of the olden days of boxing,” it’s nice to see that. And you see all the fans coming around and just the average person that’s at the grocery store recognizing you, it’s huge. It’s not just huge for my career, but it’s huge for boxing.

 

Q

Did that factor into your wanting to come back so soon? I know you said you want to stay sharp, dar, evident, staying in the public eye helps as well.

 

Robert Guerrero: Oh, categoric. Out of sight, out of mind. So you want to stay active, you want to stay busy; you want to stay sharp. You want to stay in the public eye to make that big run before time passes.

 

Q

Aron, I just have one question for you. You’ve been out of the ring for over a year since your fight with Josesito. Was there any reason for that delay? Could you just not get fights or did you just want to take the time off to clear your head?
A. Martinez

It was just with my promoter, little here and there, they were not giving me the right fights. Anybody that knows me, I stayed in the gym, because that’s what makes it easy for me, making weight. I never have trouble making weight and that goes to show that I stay active. I stay active in the gym and that’s what it is.

 

Q

My question is for Robert Guerrero. I was a little disappointed to see that it took you quite a while to get into the fight with Keith Thurman. Do you feel like that’s going to be something you’re going to change for this fight with Aron, is taking off right off the bat, primul tur?

 

R. Războinic

Da, it goes back to being active in the ring. Everybody says, bine, Mă simt minunat, there’s no ring rust, and this and that, but you truly don’t know until you get into that ring. Apoi, those long layoffs really kill me. You develop bad habits. You lay back a little bit too much, and you end up getting started a little bit late like I did in the Thurman fight. But when I did get started, there was no stopping me.

 

Așa, that’s why I want to stay active and stay in the ring. Like I said before, it’s being inactive, not being in the ring fighting. You develop habits where you do start off slowly and I felt like after the fight, when I looked back on it, it felt like I was starting off like I was sparring and just working into it, warming up, and then getting started. Glad to get that fight out of the way and shake off that ring rust, and it’s time to make that push.

 

Q

First question for Robert. Can you talk about getting up for this fight, because you fought such top level opponents and championship fights, Thurman and Mayweather and higher profile fights, and I think in this fight, you’re going to come in as a favorite. Can you talk about making sure that you don’t overlook Aron Martinez and staying sharp and getting up mentally.

 

R. Războinic

You never want to overlook anybody. Nu-mi pasă cine este. You’ve got two hands, you can throw a punch. Orice se poate întâmpla în ring. Așa, you never want to overlook anybody. I found that out earlier in my career with a loss against Gamaliel Diaz. I was overlooking him, thought I was going to take him out and he ended up out-boxing me. He beat me by one point.

 

Așa, it’s one of those things where you live and learn. You learn your lesson throughout the years and at this level of boxing and competition, you’ve got to just be able to get up and do your job and be prepared for everything. Așa, it’s not a problem. It’s like second nature to me. I wake up every day. I run. I do my gym work. If I don’t do it, it feels like I’m cheating, because I’ve been doing it since I was a kid. Așa, it’s just being well-prepared and I’m always well-prepared for every fight, as you’ve seen through my previous fights. I come to fight no matter what.

 

Q

What do you think your advantages are over him coming into this fight?
R. Războinic

Maybe the arm reach, the hand speed, the height. It’s a matter of not just having the advantages, but putting them to work and using them, and sticking to your game plan and being well prepared and being able to execute. Așa, it’s time to react when you get in that ring and what you’re going to do with everything to make it happen.

 

Q

Aron, I think Robert’s going to be the one coming in as the favorite in this fight, but I just noticed on a lot of the PBC cards, there have been a lot of upsets and unexpected outcomes coming in. Tell us why you’re going in expecting to win and what the effect is being on the PBC card on NBC. Does that add something special to this?
A. Martinez

Yes of course. It’s on national TV at StubHub Center, this is where I grew up. It’s my home base. I’ve got 23 lupte. Out of these 23 lupte, I’ve never been the favorite; I’ve always been the underdog. I’m not even supposed to be at this stage. That’s what I’m looking forward to. I’ve never been the favorite in any of my fights, so I come out for every fight. I know Rob, he’s an excellent champion; he’s been in with the best. He knows I train hard for this fight because I really want it and it and I’m going to lay it all on the line. This is what I’m talking about. I’m on to show everybody.

 

Q

You’re coming off a little over a year layoff as you explained earlier, and he’s coming off just a three-month layoff after a 12-round fight. Do you think that’s going to factor into this fight, especially if it goes the distance?

 

A. Martinez

Nu Face. It’s like what Robert said. You don’t really know until you get in the ring. We could say a bunch of things now, but you never know until you get in the ring and you actually feel it, because once you’re in the ring, it’s a whole different story, how it’s going to be. We train really, really hard for this fight, și suntem gata. It’s whatever I’ve got to do, I’ve got to do. We fight inside we box, whatever. We’re ready for whatever comes our way.
Q

Aron obviously, I know you’re up for this fight, and Robert’s already expressed that he’s trained for this fight and he’s expecting the very best from you, it’s been asked twice on this call if Robert is overlooking you. Do you find that disrespectful that nobody is giving you a shot in this fight? Or do you just use it as extra motivation?

 

A. Martinez

Nu Face. I don’t find it that way. It’s what it is. Robert has been up there with the best. And I don’t find it disrespectful; it’s just what it is, and it makes me train harder and just to make a point that who I am and they’re going to see Aron Martinez in there sâmbăta and they’re going to see who I am.

 

L. Milner

Bine, that was our last question. Robert, do you want to make a closing comment?

 

R. Războinic

Da. I just want to thank everybody. Thank Al Haymon and thank my team and thank everybody who’s been putting in the work to get this together, and I’m coming to fightSâmbătă noapte. Sunt gata să merg. I’m excited and going on right before the Belmont Stakes and it’s a big event leading into another big event. Așa, I’m excited and I just can’t wait to fight.

 

The thing is staying active all year and doing my job and giving the fans what they love to see and giving them a great fight. Așa, thank all the fans and thank everybody that’s on the conference call. I really appreciate it and God bless everybody.

 

L. Milner

Bine, thanks. Aaron, do you want to make a closing comment?

 

A. Martinez

Da, I want to thank NBC, PBC and all. Goossen for giving me this chance to show what I’ve got sâmbăta, and I thank Robert, and just give a good show to everybody sâmbăta, and I’m ready to push off and I’m ready to go. Mulțumiri, toată lumea.

ANDRE DIRRELL

 

I always knew my day would come. I put in the work, I love this sport so I give it what I owe.

 

I’m happy to get a shot at another title. I’m not going to take it for granted. I’m going to put in my work and perform to the best of my ability and that will make me a world champion.

 

I’m glad to be getting in there with somebody who believes he can win. I want someone who will test me like I’ll test them. That’s a real championship fight.

 

I’m much hungrier than I was early in my career and I’m more focused mentally. With age comes wisdom. Everything I went through is all a blessing.

 

My goals are set and I’m going to accomplish every one.

 

JAMES DEGALE

 

Dirrell’s team is trying to get in my head. They must be scared. I’m wound up and I’m ready.

 

I’m obsessed with making history. It’s what drives me to work so hard in the gym and succeed in the ring.

 

It’s been a 16-week camp come fight night, so it’s been a long time. My body and mind feel ready to fight, I am so sharp and in a very good place.

 

He’s a tricky, talented, confident fighterhe believes in his ability. He said that he would not get beaten again in his career, and I am sure he believes that 100 la sută. So you have two very confident fighters going into the ring sâmbăta.

 

I’m going to show everybody who I am. I’m driven to become the first Olympic gold medalist from the U.K. to win a world title and I’m doing it for my country.

 

EDWIN RODRIGUEZ

 

It’s an extremely important fight because it’s so close to my home.

 

I’m excited to be fighting on NBC. This is a great opportunity for me to be back at the elite level.

 

It’s important for me to get this win and get into a big fight against the best. I know I have to look impressive and that’s what I plan on.

 

DANNY O'CONNOR

I was disappointed in my fight with Paulie Malignaggi dropping out but there are always positives and one of them is that I’m now fighting in my hometown of Boston.

 

I do a lot of work in and out of the ring to prepare for a fight. I’m full focused now on fighting Chris Gilbert.

 

I want to thank all the people who helped get me onto this card, including Murphys Boxing, I promise I’m going to put on a show come Sâmbătă.”

 

CHRIS GILBERT

 

“Aceasta este o oportunitate uriașă pentru mine. I’ve known about Danny since I started boxing and I’ve even been on a few cards with him.

 

Danny has been the top New England fighter in my division and you always want to compare your skills with somebody like him.

 

I was in Vermont and I’m always in top shape prepared to get a call to fight and this here is that big opportunity.

 

GARY “SPIKE” O'SULLIVAN

 

This is absolutely awesome fighting here and it’s a very important fight for me to go win.

 

When I knock out my opponent sâmbăta, I want to be the number one contender in the division and fight all the big names.

 

RYAN KIELCZWESKI

It’s awesome fighting in Boston in front of my home crowd with all of my friends, family and friends in attendance.

 

Fighting on the undercard of this huge event with so many great fights makes the experience even better and one I’ll never forget.
