This is what the Miller, Eyubov and promoter metų bokse said Tuesday:
JARRELL “BIG BABY” MILLER
On Training Camp…
“Training camp is going real well. I put on a lot of muscle for this camp, I’m going to put on a lot of solid mass, I am going to go in there and manhandle it. Like a chew toy in a dog’s mouth, I want to mangle it.
“I’m really committed to this training camp. I’ve made some changes: less cheeseburgers. I cut down from three cheeseburgers to one cheeseburger a day. Same thing, in the gym every day, not doing anything different. My main thing is my strength and my speed and we are going to see, pavyzdžiui Rugpjūtis. 19."
On His Opponent, Fred Kassi…
“Supposedly Fred Kassi is the most durable guy I have fought in my whole entire boxing career. This is what they are saying and I tip my hat off to the guy; he’s been in some fights where I thought he won and he ended up on the wrong side of the decision. When he fought other fighters, he had three weeks training camp, two weeks’ notice. He had two months to get ready for this. I’m not a last-minute opponent. He’s going to come in ready and I’m not about to underestimate him.
“I’m a boxer-puncher and he’s more one-dimensional. He switches back and forth, he’s not pretty at what he does, but no worries, you can look at me, because I am nice at what I do.
I predict a fifth-sixth round knockout. Kassi is definitely a doable guy, but I feel once he sees my size and my pressure and the speed that I bring with my footwork – it’s going to be game over for him. I know for a fact I’m going to knock out Fred Kassi, fifth or sixth round. Štai ką man daryti, I take your heart, I take your soul, I take your ribs.”
On Deontay Wilder…
“Wilder is a wild man when he gets in that ring, but at the same time if you watch how he performs, he performs at a mediocre level against mediocre fighters. If you stick him to a world professional athlete, like myself or top guys, you’ll see him bring even more. Not saying he hasn’t been in the ring with A+ fighters yet, but you can see all his loopholes in his fighting style. It’s just a matter of time before he gets really exposed and I hope it is with me because I want that behind.
“Shorter fighters do what they do, taller fighters do what they do. Deontay is tall but he doesn’t do what his body is designed to do; he’s trying to do something that smaller guys do, so that is going to be his downfall. Kaip ir sakiau, it is just a matter of time and I am going to break him in half, him and his toothpick legs.
“I was watching the livestream of the Wilder-Arreola fight and it was horrible. It was horrible because he is the heavyweight champion of the world. He doesn’t understand that he is doing more damage to himself than he thinks he is. He’s getting hurt. He’s getting hit. He’s taking some punishment.
“I want to fight Wilder. If he sees my style, if he sees my footwork, he’ll realize I’m no Arturas pin arba Chrisas Arreola. And when I get in there, gerai, most of my fights end up in knockouts. Aš 100 percent power. Once I touch them, they are getting hurt.”
On Anthony Joshua…
“Joshua is overrated, overhyped. I am going to break that jaw of his. Definitely one of the weakest of the heavyweight champs.
“It comes down to the basics. You have a lot of guys that have a lot of punching power and basic skills and that’s not enough. Joshua is a basic heavyweight, a one-two fighter. I could cut that half way across the ring.
“I’d fight Joshua when the timing is right. I personally don’t want to go and fight Joshua just because I’m his ‘next.’ I think that when the time is right, it’ll be me and him at the MGM Grand on pay-per-view. One of those super sweepstakes fights, you know.”
On Tyson Fury…
“I like Tyson Fury, I still want to break his fingers in half but he is good for the sport of boxing and I feel like me and him for a main event will sell any arena out. He talks a lot of smack and he does back it up, but he is still a jokester and I am real. I will smash him if he tries to step on me in the press conference. I will knock him out, same way I will for everyone else.
“A fight between us two will be like Comedy Central on steroids, it would be bananas. It would sell out kind of like a Mayweather-Pacquiao … I feel like we can capture the heavyweight division and put it back on the map, just because of the way he talks. As an American heavyweight I feel like we have to take over American soil first. I’ll fight anywhere and anytime, but on the business side, I have to take over my country first.”
On the Heavyweight Division…
“They better get motivated now because I’m coming. I’m hungry and I’m motivated. SHOWTIME is having me on the main event on national television. I’m telling you I’m coming, and I’m coming to stay. They better get ready.
“I’m different to all the heavyweights out there. I’m not chasing a pay day. I’m chasing a legacy. I’m trying to change the layout. I’m trying to change the game. I’m trying to change my future and make history at the same time.”
BAKHTIYAR EYUBOV
“I have had hard training camps before, but this is up there. It’s one of the most intense camps I’ve ever had. I know that people expect me to deliver another knockout, but I’m training to go the distance. I’m scheduled to go 10 rounds and I am preparing myself as best as I can.
“My opponent is an experienced and tough fighter. Perhaps my toughest test to date. I’m confident in my skills. He can run, but he can’t hide. There are only four corners, I’ll find him and I’ll do what I came here to do: win.”
DMITRIY SALITA
“It is a great honor to be able to promote a show on SHOWTIME and both of these fighters. Miller and Eyubov are both willing to show that they are some of the best in their respective divisions.
“It is going to be a great event, happening at a special venue in Rochester at the soccer stadium, outside in the summer time. The show has all the ingredients to be a key event of the summer.”

NEW YORK (Birželis 30, 2016) – Undefeated heavyweight Jarrell Milleris claims he’s America’s top heavyweight prospect. “Big Baby” will get a chance to back up his boast when he faces his toughest test to date in veteran Fredas Kačių į pagrindinį renginį ShoBox: Naujos kartos apie Penktadienis, Rugpjūtis. 19.
The confident and hard-hitting Miller (17-0-1, 15 Kos) and the durable and vastly experienced Kassi (18-5-1, 10 Kos) will headline a tripleheader live on Showtime į 10 p.m. IR/PT from the outdoor soccer venue Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.Y..

“This is an amazing opportunity. I’m in the main event going against a tough opponent, and he’s definitely game to fight,” Miller said. “I’m ready to put his lights out like I do everybody else. I know he’s durable and a little older than me. He’s a tough guy and he can take a beating. Iki šiol, he’s only been stopped once. I’ll be the second.
“I’m going back to basics in this camp. I’m an advanced fighter, but there are a couple of things I’ve wanted to work on. It’s easy for heavyweights to rely on power and forget about technique. You see what happened to Dominic Breazeale against Anthony Joshua? His power didn’t mean jack because there was no technique behind it. I want to be the kind of fighter who puts his technique first and power last.”
“I approach Jarrell like all young fighters,” Kassi said. “I’m a seasoned pro that has fought top-tier opponents. Jarrell will have to bring his ‘A game’ against me. He’s got size and power, but it’s nothing I haven’t seen. I’m tired of getting robbed by judges like in El Paso (against Chris Arreola), and in Alabama (against Dominic Breazeale). That should have been me fighting Anthony Joshua in The O2. Against (Hughie) Įniršis, the cut saved him. Another round or two and he would have been done. Then we heard what we always hear, ‘oh, Fury had a bad night, so did Breazeale, so did Arreola.’ They all seem to have ‘bad’ nights when I’m in the other corner. I’m hoping to actually get some credit when Miller has a ‘bad’ night too. I’m a heavyweight boxer, that’s boxer underlined. I move my feet, I use angles, I hit and don’t get hit. That’s boxing and it’s my art. Boxing fans are going to have a great time watching me dismantle a giant.”
“I am very happy to be back on SHOWTIME fighting the best opponent of my career,” Eyubov said. “I know this will be my hardest fight to date and that’s what motivates me. I am grateful that I am getting an opportunity to prove myself and I want to show that I am ready for the best fighters in the world. I am ready for the boxing world to know my name. Rugpjūtis 19, Karim Mayfield, here I come.”
“This will be a special event at Rochester Rhinos soccer stadium. We have America’s brightest heavyweight contender in Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller and a knockout sensation out of Brooklyn by way of Kazakhstan in Bakhtiyar ‘Bakha’ Eyubov,” promoter metų bokse sakė. “This show has all the ingredients to be one of the most talked about boxing events of the summer, and we think Miller has all the skills and charisma to break through in the heavyweight division. I am grateful to SHOWTIME and Rhinos Stadium that boxing fans will witness talented fighters in their toughest fights to date. I look forward to an explosive night of boxing.”
“Wendy and I are so excited to be hosting both SHOWTIME and the fighting debut of Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller at Rhinos Stadium,"Sakė Wendy ir David Dworkin, owners of the Rochester Rhinos soccer stadium. "Rugpjūtis 19 will be a great opportunity to showcase our stadium and the City of Rochester to a nationwide audience.”
The menacing Miller, a 6-foot-4 Brooklyn, N.Y.. gimtasis, is a consensus top 15 heavyweight – he’s ranked No. 8 į WBO, Ar ne. 9 WBA ir Nr. 14 į IBF. The 27-year-old former professional kickboxer has knocked out six consecutive opponents as he’s risen through the rankings as one of America’s top heavyweight hopes. Prior to Miller’s knockout of Nikas Guivas apie Gegužė 27, his previous two fights were onShoBox – a third round destruction of Akhror Muralimov last October and a knockout of Donovanas Dennisas in January in which he was pushed to the seventh round for the first time.
Kassi has been in with some of the most recognizable names in the heavyweight division, įskirtinai Amir Mansour, Dominykas Breazeale ir Hughie Fury. The 36-year-old fought to a disputed majority draw with three-time world title challenger Chrisas Arreola last July on PBC on CBS in which most ringside observers, įskirtinai ShoBox analitikas Steve'as Farhood, had Kassi winning by a wide margin. The New Orleans resident has been stopped just once – in 2014 by Mansour – and stands as an excellent barometer for Miller’s progression as a legitimate contender.
The fast-rising Potapov, of Potolsk, Rusija, is ranked in the top 15 in three of the four sanctioning bodies (Ar ne. 7 WBO, Ar ne. 13 IBF, Ar ne. 14 WBA) after just 15 profesinės kovoja. A former amateur standout with over 200 kovas, the 25-year-old Potapov has already gone at least 10 rounds seven times since turning professional in 2010. The only blemish on his record is a draw with undefeated prospect Stephon Jaunas jo paskutinio kovos dėl Balandis 15 apie ShoBox.
Coincidently, the only blemish on Antonio Nieves’ record is a 2015 draw with Stephon Young. The 29-year-old is coming off his first 10-round performance, a unanimous decision over then once-beaten Oskaras Mojica birželio 18. The Cleveland, Ohio native will face his toughest opponent to date in fellow unbeaten Potapov in the matchup of unbeaten bantamweights.
The Brooklyn-based Eyubov has passed every test he’s faced, and knocked out all of his opponents in the process. The 29-year-old native of Kazakhstan is coming off an impressive third-round stoppage of veteran Jared Robinsonas last January on ShoBox. Eyubov will step up his level of opposition when he faces Karim Mayfield, a 35-year-old veteran who owns wins over Mauricio Herrera ir Steve Forbes " and has never been stopped in 23 kovas.

After the final knockdown in the seventh, the fight was stopped at 52 sekundes į turas.
“Everything is going good,’’ Foster said. “I’ve been doing a lot of conditioning. I am in the best shape of my life. Chinea has a good jab and I know he will be in a good shape.
“Ever since I moved to Virginia to train, my conditioning, mentality and confidence has gone way up and that was the difference from my first fight to my last fight on ShoBox. Apie Liepa 22, I will be even that much better.’’
A highly decorated amateur standout, the 5-foot-8½ inch Foster advanced to the 2012 Ne JAV. Olympic Trials where he lost to unbeaten pro prospect, Juozapas "Jo-Jo" Diaz.

He’s won two straight since, including a six-round decision over previously undefeatedLadarius Milleris (tada 9-0) jo paskutinio kovos dėl Vasaris. 16.
“I treat every opponent the same,’’ Chinea. “I give everything I got and I leave it all in the ring. I know Foster was a good amateur. I know he can box and I know he has some pop.
“This is the moment I’ve dreamed about since I started boxing at 14. My main goal is to tune out the crowd and win. I want to be a main event fighter on SHOWTIME and this is the first step.’’
Khiary Gray-Pitts vs. Ismael Garcia: Eight-round super welterweight bout
Pilkai Pitts, 23, will be boxing on ShoBox pirmąkart. Ambidextrous with quick hands and feet, Gray-Pitts turned pro in June 2014. He fought three times that year, eight times in 2015 (8-0, 8 Kos, seven in the first, one in the second) and this will be his third fight in 2016.

“The more pressure there is, the more relaxed I am. I don’t know a lot about my opponent, but it doesn’t matter as long as I go in there and get done what I need to get done.”
The 5-foot-9 Gray-Pitts is coming off a second-round knockout overQuinton Willis paskutinis Gegužė 13. In his outing before last, the previous Vasaris. 19, won a 10-round decision over Eduardo Flores.

We will be preparing 100 percent for that and then some.
“I have seen a little of Gray-Pitts on tape. This will be my toughest test, as I will be his toughest test. When you have 13-0 kovos 10-0, it will be a good fight.’’

Štai ką kovotojai kalbėjo apie savo kovas Penktadienis, treniruočių stovykla, atitinkamus priešininkus ir kt:
ANDREW TABITI
„Smagu, kad tarpusavyje kovoja keturi nenugalėti kreiseriai. Noriu, kad mes grąžintume kamuolį į JAV. teritorija, kadangi tai istoriškai europietiškas padalinys. Aš tikrai manau, kad jaunų kreiserių, tokių kaip aš, atsiradimas tai keičia.
„Nelyginu savęs su kitais diviziono kreiseriniais svoriais, Žinau, kad esu geriausias. Visada siekiu įspūdingai laimėti, ir tikiuosi surengti puikų pasirodymą gerbėjamsPenktadienis naktis.
„Viskas buvo tobula. Mokymo stovykla vyksta jau puikus. Stovyklą pradėjau vasario mėnesį, todėl jaučiuosi stipri ir patogi. Įdomu tai, kad aš visiškai nesijaudinu, nepaisant to, kad tai mano pirmasis debiutas. Matau tai kaip bet kurią kitą kovą, kur žinau, ko ateinu daryti. Manau, kad tai leidžia man žinoti, kad bręstu kaip kovotojas ir jaučiuosi daug labiau pasitikintis savo įgūdžiais ir sugebėjimais.
„Laukiau tinkamos datos ir štai viskas. Tikiu, kad mano karjeros perkėlimas yra puikus, apie ką svajojau. Dabar atėjo laikas žengti kitą žingsnį.
„Asmeniškai aš niekada nemačiau Tapios kovojančios, bet aš žiūrėjau vaizdo įrašus. Jis nepralenkiamas, solidus varžovas. Stiliai sukelia muštynes ir tai man tinka. Nekantriai laukiu, kada galėsiu toliau žengti į priekį ir visiems parodyti gerą pasirodymą bei priartėti prie kovos dėl titulo.
„Negaliu laukti. Aš einu pasitikintis. Svarbiausia iškovoti pergalę, tai pagrindinis dalykas. Laimėjimas yra viskas.
„Jaučiuosi palaimintas, kad galiu treniruotis ne Floydo sporto salėje ir kovoti su Mayweatherio reklama.. Jis yra žmogus, į kurį aš žiūriu, todėl būti ten, kur esu, yra svajonė, kuri išsipildo. Man patinka treniruotis Mayweather bokso klube. Dėl to susikaupiu ir esu alkanas.”
KEITH TAPIA
„Kova su Tabiti yra puiku, tikras iššūkis. Man patinka, kaip jis kovoja. Aš jį gerbti, bet man bus blogas oras jam. Aš tuoj pat perimsiu kontrolę; tai bus Tapia kova, ne Tabiti kova. Tai faktas.
„Tabiti yra talentingas boksininkas. Jo stilius yra Mayweatherio stilius. Aš myliu Floydą Mayweatherį kaip gerbėją, bet Tabitis nėra Floydas Mayweatheris. Aš? Aš atėjau kovoti, rankas aukštyn, einu pirmyn. Aš noriu tave užbėgti.
„Aš tikrai pakeisiu požiūrį į mane šioje kovoje ir skirstymu, nes aš esu mašina. Aš tikrai pasitikiu savimi ir nekantrauju kovoti.
"Man, tai tinkamas laikas. Esu čia ir tikrai pasiruošęs kovoti. Jaučiuosi geriausia savo svorio kategorijoje, išskyrus tai, kad manęs dar niekas nematė. Tabiti gali turėti šlovę, bet aš ne tik kalbėsiu, Aš einu pėsčiomis.
„Manau, kad tai yra didelis žingsnis į priekį, kai jį įveikiau. Kartą suskamba varpas, tada mes žinome, kas iš tikrųjų nutiks.
„Aš ketinu tapti kreiserinio svorio čempionu, apginti jį porą kartų ir tada judėti aukštyn. Jaučiuosi čempionu tiek protiškai, tiek dvasiškai.
“Visos mano kovos vienodai svarbios. Esu tikrai patenkintas tuo, kaip klostosi mano karjera. Jei ne boksas, manęs dabar čia nebūtų. Dievas ir boksas mane išgelbėjo. Jei ne jie, nebūčiau gyvas.”
MIKELAS HUNTERIS
„Tai yra žingsnis į priekį konkurencijos srityje, palyginti su praeitimi, su juo yra nenugalimas kreiseris. Jis geras, tolimas pietų letenėlis. Iš tikrųjų esame maždaug tokio pat amžiaus; mes tuo pačiu metu buvome mėgėjuose, bet niekada nekovojo vienas su kitu.Penktadienis, Siekiu įspūdingai laimėti. Nenoriu sakyti, kad einu į nokautą, jei atsitiks tai atsitiks, bet tikimės, kad pavyks tai gauti.
„Nors per televiziją anksčiau kovojau nemažai kartų, tai bus geras šou su „Mayweather Promotions“.. Esu dėkingas, kad kovoju prieš savo gerą draugą Andrew Tabiti. Tai garbė, būti nuoširdžiam. Bus puiku, kad mano šeima ir draugai už Las Vegaso ribų galės stebėti mane, taigi tai palaima.
„Nepasakyčiau, kad esu patenkintas tuo, kaip klostosi mano karjera. Negaliu skųstis, nes neturiu nuostolių, Tik norėčiau, kad tai vyktų šiek tiek greitesniu tempu. Esu dukart olimpietis, o mėgėjų tarpe esame įpratę kovoti 4-5 kartus per savaitę, todėl prisitaikymas prie muštynių kartą per kelis mėnesius man atrodo šiek tiek sustingęs. Tikrai stengiuosi negalvoti per toli į ateitį, Stengiuosi gyventi šia akimirka, bet tikiuosi palyginti greitai gauti titulą.
„Į treniruočių stovyklą išvykau iškart po paskutinės kovos, taigi praėjo maždaug aštuonios savaitės. Treniruotėse visada būna pakilimų ir nuosmukių, bet tol, kol išlaikote teigiamą dvasią, viskas baigsis puikiai. Taigi sekasi gerai, negaliu skųstis. Paprastai treniruojuosi iš Mayweather bokso klubo, bet vyksta kai kurios statybos, todėl perkėlėme jį į Fight Capitol ir keletą kitų vietų.
„Aš pakeičiau savo treniruotes, kad pagerinčiau save, nebūtinai mano priešininkui ar šiai kovai.
„Jūs turite būti šiek tiek labiau susikaupę Mayweather Gym. Yra daug dalykų, kurie iš tikrųjų neįvyksta įprastoje sporto salėje vien dėl to, kad jis yra Floydas, todėl tai ištrauks iš jūsų arba ne.. Išgyvena tik stipriausi.”
Isiah THOMAS
"Penktadienis yra geras dalykas būsimiems ir ateinantiems, Amerikietiški kreiseriniai svareliai. Skyriuje yra daug mūsų, norinčių pasižymėti. Ne tik aš pats. Tai mūsų galimybė parodyti, kad Amerika turi gerų kovotojų kreiserinio svorio divizione. Tai tobula vitrina.
„Labai džiaugiuosi, kad esu jos dalis Penktadienio korta. Aš tiesiog imuosi viso to ir siekiu pasirodyti kuo geriau bei parodyti savo talentus.
„Hunteris jaunas ir alkanas, kaip ir aš, bet aš jo tikrai nemačiau ir nemačiau. Girdėjau apie jį ir esu tikras, kad jis pateiks savo „A“ žaidimą.
"Aš žinau, ką aš galiu padaryti, nereikia daug strateguoti. Aš ne tik pasirodau.
„Manau, kad mano karjera iki šiol klostosi gerai. Aš vis kylau. esu televizijoje. Man patinka greitis, kuriuo einu, bet yra vienintelis kelias, kaip iš tikrųjų eiti, ir tai į viršų. Nelaikau savęs geriausiu kreiseriu, tik vienas iš geriausių lankytojų. Ilgainiui, ir tinkamu laiku, nors.
"Penktadienis, Tiesiog darysiu tai, ką moku geriausiai. Žinoma, norite laimėti įspūdingai, bet svarbiausia yra laimėti. Turiu gauti tą W.
„Gyvenu Detroite, bet treniruojuosi Majamyje, kuri man yra tarsi antrieji namai. Treniruočių stovykla tęsiasi apie du mėnesius ir buvo puiki. Majamyje gaunu puikų sparingą.
Ronaldas Gavril
„Nekantriai laukiu šios didelės galimybės. Daugelis žmonių nežino, su kuo aš taip kovoju per SHOWTIME, ir pradės man suteikti reikiamo poveikio ir pripažinimo.
„Treniruočių stovykla praėjo puikiai, Jaučiuosi stipri ir pasiruošusi. Esu laiminga ir neturiu priekaištų. Jaučiuosi palaimintas galėdamas būti šios puikios kortos, kupinos kovotojų, turinčių didžiulį talentą, dalimi. Smagu, kad galiu tuo pasidalinti su savo arklidės draugais čia, mūsų mieste.
„Nekantriai laukiu, ką tai atneš ne tik mano, bet ir mūsų visų ateičiai.
JUANAS NOVOA
„Treniruočių stovykla praėjo puikiai, Treniruojuosi jau septynias savaites. Šiuo metu treniruojuosi Majamyje, Fla.
„Mačiau jo kovų vaizdo įrašus ir galiu pasakyti, kad jis yra stiprus kovotojas, nebijantis sumaišyti. Atsižvelgiant į tai, kad turiu daugiau profesionalių kovų ir daugiau 180 mėgėjai kovos, Sunku pasakyti, ar Gavrilas man yra žingsnis į priekį, kol įžengsiu į ringą šį penktadienį.
„Jei jau būčiau iškovojęs pasaulio čempiono titulą, būčiau labiau patenkintas savo karjera, bet, deja, aplinkybės iš mano paskutinio pasaulio čempionato iššūkio nebuvo man palankios. Žinau, kad laimėdamas šią kovą iš karto atsidursiu kovoje dėl pasaulio čempiono titulo ir galbūt dar viena galimybė tapti pasaulio čempione. Aš matau save arba tam tikrą iššūkį, arba apginti pasaulio čempiono titulą po metų“.
SANJARBEKAS RAKHMANOVAS
„Pakankamai stebėjau Olverą, kad pajusčiau jį pažįstąs. Jis yra aukštesnis, meksikietis vaikinas. Aš laukiu kovoti su juo.
„Treniruojuosi Mayweather bokso klube su Dewey Cooper; jis buvo mano treneris nuo tada, kai tapau profesionalu. Aš turėjau apie 150 mėgėjiškos kovos ir įgijau daug tarptautinės patirties.
„Aš laikau save perforatoriumi. Kartą suskamba varpas, Aš atėjau kovoti.
„Esu patenkintas tuo, kaip viskas vyksta. Kiekvieną dieną sunkiai treniruojuosi. Ateinu pasiimti visų titulų. Tai mano svoris, aplinkui 143 svarų. Neplanuoju nei daug kilti, nei žemyn
„Šioje kovoje noriu laimėti ir atrodyti gerai, o tada grįžti atgal. Manau, kad po maždaug metų būsiu pasirengęs priimti visus geriausius vyrukus.
ALFONSO OLVERA
„Treniruočių stovykla buvo puiki; mes treniruojamės apie mėnesį. Kelio darbai gerai, Sparingas yra geras su įvairiais boksininkais. Svoris nėra problema. Treniruojuosi Scrapyard Boxing Gym Tuksone, Ariz.
„Mūsų varžovas yra didžiulis ir į jį reikia žiūrėti rimtai. Žinome, kad jis yra agresyvus ir tikisi laimėti, todėl turime atnešti savo „A“ žaidimą į ringą. Taip pat tikimės laimėti.
„Šiuo savo karjeros momentu esu labai patenkintas savo pažanga. Šią kortelę tikrai turi pamatyti pasaulis, ir mums tai didelis žingsnis į priekį.
„Sveikiname suteiktą galimybę ir esame už ją dėkingi. Tikimės, kad ši kova suteiks mums daugiau galimybių ir priartins prie to, kad kada nors galėtume mesti iššūkį dėl pasaulio čempiono titulo.”

Štai ką kovotojai turėjo pasakyti Ketvirtadienis:
JACK BADOU
“Both of us can punch, both of us can box. Anything can happen inside of that ring. I’m always ready to go 12 raundai. Everyone knows that I’m always in shape.
“Anything can happen, but I want to fight James DeGale. First I have to take care of business with Lucian Bute. Both of us are in our primes. We’re young and confident and it would be a great fight.
“I have to take care of this former champion. He’s a really good fighter. Some people say it’s a 50-50 fight so I have to take this very seriously.
“I’m still training and preparing for this fight like I’m the challenger. That’s how I prepare for every fight and this is no different.
“A lot of people wrote me off and I came back stronger. I love when people doubt me. I come back stronger and show people I’m a world class fighter.
“I’ve always believed in myself. I’m mentally strong and I work hard. I had a setback but it just made me hungrier and it made me a better fighter.”
LUCIAN BUTE
“I’m thankful for this big opportunity to fight for the WBC title. My training camp was very good. Aš jaučiuosi stipresnis. It’s two days until the big stage.
“I worked very hard for this opportunity. To be a two-time champion is a dream. Šeštadienįnight you will see a new champion.
"Jaučiuosi puikiai. The pressure is not on my shoulders now. I’m not the champion, I’m the outsider. Badou is the champion and I think the pressure is on him. I came to Washington D.C. to perform, give the fans a good show Šeštadienis night and the chance to become a champion for the second time
“I put on a good show against DeGale and that’s what led to this shot. I’m very blessed to be in this fight for a world title.
“Badou is a good fighter. He has a good background in amateur boxing, he’s a world champion, but he has nothing special. He does everything good but not exceptionally. I have more experience, more speed and I’m a southpaw. I think the advantage is on my side.
“I never considered retiring but there were three years where I had some physical and psychological obstacles. Now I’m back to being in big fights and I’m looking forward to taking Badou Jack’s belt.
“This is going to be a spectacular fight. I want to look good in there and leave no doubt. I’m more aggressive than I ever have been and that will make it a great fight. I’m here to stop Badou Jack.”
JAMES DEGALE
“Fight time is here. I’m feeling good and feeling fresh.
“Porky Medina is a good fighter. But there are levels to pro boxing and I am levels above him.
"Šeštadienis night I’m going to show you a real performance. My last two fights have gone the distance, but this time it won’t.
“I’m the best 168-pounder out there. I’m here to prove that. There is no one out there that can test me. There are big fights out there and good guys, but I believe I’m the best.
“I like this tournament style. It’s the best boxing the best. It should always be like this.
“I’m starting to build a massive fan base back home and I haven’t even boxed at home as a world champion. Me and Badou Jack would be a massive fight in the UK with two titles on the line.
“I’ve got everything covered with my game plan, Pasitikėk manimi. I’ve gone extremely hard in the gym. We’ve watched tapes of him and I’m feeling good.
“This fight I need to make a statement. On my last two fights, I’ve gone the distance and they’ve been against top quality elite fighters. This time – no disrespect to Porky Medina – a good fighter in his own right but he shouldn’t last the distance with me so I look forward to a good performance.
“Good luck to both men, but I’m coming for the winner of Jack vs. Bute. I want to unify the division.”
ROGELIO MEDINA
“I’m the youngest fighter on this stage. I’m also the hungriest fighter. This is the biggest opportunity of my career.
“I’m here to give it my all and take the most of this opportunity šeštadienį naktis. My dream is to be a world champion and it is right in front of me.
“I feel very excited. I’m ready to go because of the long layoff. It has been a while but I have been in the gym. I’ve been training for many months and even though I haven’t had a fight, I have been training.
“I think that DeGale has a lot of good qualities as a fighter and I think that the fight is going to be very intense because I’ve been training hard for it. I’ve been training to put pressure on him and to make it an intense fight and try and knock him out.
“I’ve noticed that he’s a quick fighter, he’s fast. He’s got good technique but I also see that he sometimes likes to stand and trade and I hope that he decides to stand and trade with me so we can give the fans a good fight.
“A win would be the biggest moment of my career. It would have a lot of significance. Historically in Mexico I would become only the second super middleweight champion, which would be very important to boxing and myself.”
