WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DEONTAY WILDER MEDIA WORKOUT QUOTES FROM NORTHPORT, ALABAMA

Pustite komentar
“When we step in that ring, nothing is acceptable but a knockout. And I’m looking to knock him out.” – Deontay Wilder
Wilder (36-0, 35 Kos) Defends Against Mandatory Challenger
Alexander Povetkin (30-1, 22 Kos) One Month From Today
na Maj 21 v Moskvi, Rusija
NORTHPORT, ALA. (April 21, 2016) -Neporažen WBC Težji svetovni prvak Deontay Wilder hosted a media workout Torek at the Skyy Gym in Northport, Ala. as he prepares to become the first reigning American heavyweight champion to travel to Russia to defend his title.
In exactly one month, na Sobota, Maj 21, Wilder (36-0, 35 Kos), od Tuscaloosa, Ala., will put his world title on the line against mandatory challenger and native Russian,Alexander Povetkin (30-1, 22 Kos), v Moskvi.
Here’s what Wilder said at his Media Workout day v torek:
DEONTAY WILDER
(On his expectations going to Russia…)
“My expectation is, Seveda, za zmago. To come back with that victory for America. This is a big fight, not just for myself, for America. It’s like Russia vs. America. I’ve been getting nothing but positive feedback from fans all over. Even if they weren’t a fan of Deontay Wilder they are now for this very fight. Hopefully I can win them over to stay a fan of Deontay Wilder after this fight. I think it’s a great fight. I think it’s a great thing that we’re going over to Russia defending my title in somebody else’s backyard.
“Kot sem rekel prej, it’s easier for me to fight here in American but that’s not what it’s all about to me. When I have a title that says the heavyweight champion of the world, I want to travel all over the world to defend my title. I’m living my dream, I’m getting an opportunity to do that with this fight. I’m looking forward to Russia and I want to tell Russia,’Here I come.’ “
(What it means to be the first heavyweight champion to fight in Russia…)
“To pomeni veliko. It makes me even closer to my faith. God doesn’t make mistakes in lives. He doesn’t make a mistake in my life, your life or anybody else. Things happen for a reason and they happen at the right time in your life. Things may not come when you want it, but when they come it’s right on time. The things that have been accumulating throughout my career, it’s been amazing. How I’ve been able to make history, beat other records, and continue to make history. Neverjetno je. I just want to know what else he has in store for my life. If it’s continuously history being made, what’s next? Jaz sem navdušena.
“I can’t wait to see how my life unfolds at the end of my career. What happens at the end of Deontay Wilder when it’s time for him to say I’ve done all I’ve done in this sport and I don’t want to do it anymore. I want to see how much ground I can cover for those that have come before me.”
(How you predict the fight going…)
“I predict the fight as being a punishment in the first round and then knocking him out. All heavyweights want to knock somebody out so we have to say we’re going to knock them out. This is the cream of the crop division. The heavyweights. The hard-hitters. The heavy hitters, kot pravijo. When we step in that ring, nothing is acceptable but a knockout. And I’m looking to knock him out.”
(On if he’s reached his peak…)
“Not at all and that’s the scary part about it. I haven’t even reached my peak yet and I’m still learning on the way up. I want to always learn. Each and every fight brings experience to me. It brings something that I’ve taken away from that fight and that I’ve added to the next fight. Looking forward to being very crisp and very good in this fight and showing people a little bit more of what Deontay Wilder is capable of. Especially those who haven’t seen anything thus far yet, stay tuned to this fight. This is one you don’t want to miss.”
(On unifying the titles in the future…)
“Vsekakor. I really feel when I say that I will be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, I don’t just say it to say it, but I also feel it inside me, deep inside me that I will be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and add my name to the few undisputed champions that have come before me. My name will be placed in history on that. Why wouldn’t it? All the things I’ve done up to now, that will be the icing on my cake to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. I won’t stop, no matter how many hours I have to put in. No matter how many fights that I have to take. No matter how many countries I have to visit to defend my title. I will be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.”
(On concerns about going to Russia…)
“I don’t have any concerns. I don’t let my brain sit back and think about if I don’t knock him out or are they going to rob me, or anything like that. I just don’t want my mind to be on that when I’m in a fight. I want to have a clear mind. I want to go in there and do what Deontay is capable of doing. Like I said, all things are in God’s hands and if it’s in his will for me to win, it’s going to happen. If not then, I don’t stop there. My legacy is not going to stop there. But I’m very confident in what I’m about to do and what I’m going to do, and we all know that if we knock him out then we don’t have to worry about that. So of course that’s going to be my priority on my list – to knock him out.”

Former World Champion Heads to Las Vegas
For 154-Pound Title Showdown May 21
Against Jermall Charlo Live on SHOWTIME®

At The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

‘I don’t see this being a boring fight; he’s going to bring it, I’m going to bring it’ – Austin Trout

Kliknite TUKAJ For Photos From Dave Nadkarni/PBC

WASHINGTON, Enosmerno. (April 20, 2016) - Austin Trout (30-2, 17 Kos), the former super welterweight world champion, is ready to collect his second world title on Sobota, Maj 21 when he meets IBF Junior Middleweight world champion Jermall Charlo in a 12-round match live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. IN/7 p.m. PT) od Chelsea, a one-of-a-kind 40,000-square-foot venue inside Cosmopolitan Las Vegas.

 

“It’s my time,” said Trout. “My focus is amplified 10-fold. I’m the confident, happy Austin that fans know, but trust me, when it’s fight time I’m ready for any dogfight that comes. You’ll see Austin bring out and defeat the ‘Lion’ in him because at the end of the day I’m taking that belt.”

 

Vstopnice za dogodek v živo, ki ga spodbuja Mayweather Promotions in TGB Promocije, so na prodaj zdaj. Cene vozovnic začnejo pri $39, in so na voljo na spletni strani www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com ali prek Ticketmaster na (800) 745-3000in www.ticketmaster.com.

 

Born in El Paso, Texas and raised in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Trout is trained by Barry Hunter and Louie Burke of Headbangers Gym in Washington D.C. Having started boxing at the age of 10, his natural talent and the ability to grow into the sport took Austin across the United States and Latin America in the amateur divisions and then into the pros. Known as one of the fiercest gentlemen competitors in the sport, he beat the likes of Miguel Cotto, Rigoberto Alvarez and Delvin Rodriguez, before losing his title to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Trout comes into Maj 21 looking to claim a title in a division he’s been a true threat within for his career.

 

You’ve said you’ve been led to this fight, why is it important?

“Coming off of four consecutive wins, I’m not just on a comeback streak but I’m taking a full step forward. Charlo is the champ, this fight is about no more half stepping. It’s about taking on the best. Isn’t that what it’s about, being the best?»

 

How is camp going?

“I physically feel great. I’m really comfortable with Barry, it’s my fourth camp with the Headbangers team; Luis is there as well. Luis helps me with pre-camp and then I shift to D.C.

 

“I was already in D.C. getting camp started when the rumors about this fight came true. I had been at the gym at home for pre-camp for a month and a half before hitting D.C. I was working out five times a week, running every day just getting the program going. Kot sem rekel, no half-stepping. I’m already sparring, doing the work, getting right. I’m not walking through it but running and trotting through it. Jaz sem 30, I’m at my physical peak, my talent couldn’t be any better.”

 

Talk about the fight and what to expect?

“Neither one of us is going out without a fight, so I don’t see this being a boring fight. It’s time for people to remember me. I’ve earned this championship shot against an undefeated bull like Jermall Charlo but I will take his belt. »

 

Your first professional loss was against ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in San Antonio in 2013. What are your thoughts on that fight?

“I had a good, competitive fight with Saul – it felt like a unification bout – I was WBA champion and he was WBC champion. The open scoring was more detrimental to my game plan thea the judges! During the fight when I was told that I wasn’t winning on anyone’s cards I had to change my game plan. It was a dogfight. Canelo never had to box and move that much before in a fight.

"Toda, live and learn. Instead of walking into a fight like that I listened to those around me. No more surprises. This Charlo fight is a fight I want, a fight my team wants and we’re ready. I’m a more mature, focused champion who’s coming back. I’m dangerous – I have experience, talent and God on my side.”

JACK BADOU
“I’m looking forward to another victory. To bo težka boj, ampak jaz sem pripravljen. I’ve been training really hard and I’m ready to get into the ring.
“I’m more focused and determined now than ever to secure what is mine. The fans will have an exciting show to look forward to on April 30. I can guarantee that!
“My daughter being born this morning is extra motivation for me and to continue working hard to provide for my family. I only slept for 2 ur, but I feel brand new.
“I still feel fresh! Usposabljanje tabor je dobro. Everything is right on schedule. I’m feeling really focused.”
LUCIAN BUTE
“The most important thing for me is to have fun when I train. My confidence level is back at 100 odstotkov. There’s a great atmosphere here at the gym and I have great chemistry with my trainers. I’ve done quality sparring and starting next week we’ll be reducing the training volume so as to focus more on the level of intensity.
“The pressure won’t be on me because I’ll be on his turf, v Washingtonu. He is the favorite because he’s the champion, but I’m confident and I’m able! We looked at some video of him with Howard (Grant). On je dober boksar, but he’s not exceptional and he makes mistakes. I have experience. This will be my 13th world championship fight. My experience and my speed will make the difference.
“My confidence level wasn’t at 100 percent before I fought James DeGale, but now it’s all back after performing the way I did against him. All the better for me if Badou Jack is already looking ahead to his next fight, is taking me for granted and is underestimating me. I know for my part that I can beat him. He did well in his last bout against George Groves, where he was able to come up with a good right blow that sent him to the canvas. But I’m going there to deliver.
“I’ve now been training for a year with Howard Grant, who already knows me well and pushes me to go beyond my limits. We’ve developed a trusting relationship and I feel very comfortable working alongside him. It’s hard to put into words! It’s true, Jaz sem 36 stara leta, but I still have some good years ahead of me in professional boxing. For Éric Lucas, who had this belt for several years, I will bring back the title to the province of Quebec.”
SHARIF BOGERE
“Training camp has been going tremendously well. I’m excited to get back in action on April 30. it’s going to be a good show. Two world titles on the line, that’s something big.
“I want people to know who The Lion je. People will know that The Lion is here to stay. I will put on a great show as I always do.
“I want to put on a good show so the fans will never forget about my presence in this division. Being born in Uganda, it’s important for me to make my homeland proud.”
LATONDRIA JONES
“Usposabljanje tabor je šlo dobro, I am looking forward to going into the fight real strong, dominating and come out with a win. It’s important that I continue to stay mentally focused and physically ready.
“I don’t really look too much into to my opponents, until I’m getting ready for that belt. As far as I know, this is her pro debut. I’m going to show her what this is all about, and give her that pro life.
“I was born in D.C. tako, I look forward to going back and fighting at the Armory to give my hometown fans what they want to see. They came to see a show, and I plan on delivering. I look forward to getting better and coming out on top. I’m working hard and taking it day-by-day. I thank God for being in this position that I’m in.”

WITH HIGHLIGHT-REEL KNOCKOUT, MASON MENARD NOW SERIOUS CONTENDER IN LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION

Pustite komentar
‘He’s Ready for Anybody’ says Promoter Greg Cohen
It’s been three days since “the shot heard round the world,” the one-punch knockout Louisiana lightweight Mason “Rock Hard Mighty” Menard scored over opponent Eudy Bernardo. VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1NtEYjW
In what should have been a fight against his toughest opponent to date, Menard(31-1, 23 Kos) destroyed the Dominican Bernardo, dropping him in the second and finishing their nationally televised ShoBox: New Generation co-main event with a single right hand at 2:11 za tretjino.
In what will certainly be a “Knockout of the Year” Kandidat, Menard’s devastating right hand left the formerly undefeated Bernardo unconscious and announced the 27-year-old as an unexpected fighter to watch in the lightweight division.
“I train hard, diet right. I get good sparring. I do everything to the tee. I go to church on Sundays and the blessing come true for me,” said a happy Menard, post-boj. “It felt great to be on the world stage and perform like that. With all my people back home watching and developing new fans out of the people watching everywhere, it’s just a great feeling. I want to continue this.”
At the time of the KO, Bernardo appeared to be seriously hurt and was taken from the ring on a stretcher. He has since recovered. “I knew in my mind it’d last about three rounds, but I didn’t expect that shot to take him out,” continued Menard. “It’s a great feeling to get a victory, but I’d rather my opponent walk out of the ring. I saw he was seriously hurt and I got down on one knee and said a prayer for him.”
For Menard’s promoter, Greg Cohen Greg Cohen Promocije, the victory was not unexpected, despite Bernardo being favored going in, but is still a very pleasant development.
“With one punch, Mason is now a serious contender in the lightweight division,” je dejal Cohen. “He’s ready for any of the champions including Jorge Linares, Rances Barthelemy or Terry Flanagan.”
With a humble nature and movie-star good looks, Cohen saw the potential in Menard immediately. “Now everyone knows what we already did. He’s a sensational fighter with true star potential. I’m very excited to be working with him.”
“I’m ready for anybody,” said Menard. “As long as business is right, I’m not scared of anybody, jih prinese na!”

MASHANTUCKET, Conn. (April. 17, 2016) – WBC Featherweight World Champion Gary Russell Jr. retained his title with a remarkable TKO of Irishman Patrick Hyland Sobotaon SHOWTIME from Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. V sodelovanju funkcijo, Jose Pedraza defended his IBF Junior Lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Stephen Smith.

 

Nocoj je event was a family affair with Russell Jr. working his brother Antonio’s corner during Nocoj je undercard and boxing’s Smith brothers, including current WBO Super Welterweight World Champion Liam Smith, cheering from the crowd.

 

A relentless Russell brought the main event to a quick halt by registering three knockdowns in the second round, the last of which forced referee Danny Schiavone to end the contest at 1:33. Od prvega zvona, Washington, Enosmerno. native came out swinging with his trademark hand speed and dangerous power. Russell, a southpaw, successfully broke down—and knocked out—Hyland with multiple vicious right hooks.

 

“We stuck to the game plan. We stayed sharp,” said Russell Jr., ki izboljšuje svoj rekord do 27 zmaga, one loss, 15 Knockouts.

 

“I’m ready to fight anyone in the division – Santa Cruz, Lee Selby. We are ready. But what I really want is [Vasyl] Lomachenko. I don’t care if he moves up to 147 funtov. I will go anywhere to get that fight,” Russell said.

 

“There aren’t many fighters who you instantly know are special,” said SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst Steve Farhood. “The combination of Gary Russell’s hand speed and accuracy instantly shows us that he’s special. That was plainly evident Nocoj and at times his hand speed was frightening.”

 

Pedraza (22-0, 12 Kos) remained disciplined and came out victorious during his second IBF 130-pound world title defense. A combination of timing, hand speed and good defense allowed the Puerto Rican native to dominate the 12-round championship fight.

 

“This definitely was a tough fight but the training really came to advantage in this fight,” Pedraza told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray. “I knew he was a tough fighter so I was always aware.”

 

“I had better focus Nocoj. I had a better training camp,” said Pedraza, referring to his controversial split decision win over Edner Cherry two fights ago. “I knew that Stephen Smith was a great fighter and even after the knockdown, we were very cautious not to rush in.”

 

“Pedraza won Nocoj with different weapons. Mostly right hands to the head,"Je dejal Farhood. “I had the fight even after eight rounds and once Pedraza dropped Smith in the ninth, he gained momentum that he never lost and he pulled away. It was an impressive performance but also an important one because it erased a lot of the negative criticism Pedraza received in his controversial win over Edner Cherry.”

 

Pedraza was the more accurate fighter, pristanek 50 percent of his power punches over the 12-round bout. The Sniper was able to pick his spots and pocket rounds once he figured out the distance. Smith had his moments, but wasn’t active enough.

VERONA, NY. (April 15, 2016) – Undefeated bantamweight prospects Nikolay Potapov in Stephon Young fought to a majority draw in theShoBox: New Generation Glavni dogodek Petek on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, NY.

 

The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 dvakrat.

 

Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. Potapov (14-0-1, 6 Kos) controlled the pace early with his jab and was the more active fighter, throwing nearly double the punches that Young threw. Young picked up steam and gained confidence in the middle rounds and was at his best when he pressed the action and let his hands go. But the Russian Potapov, who had gone at least 10 rounds in his last six fights, was clearly more comfortable as the fight progressed.

 

After slowing in the seventh and eighth, Young (14-0-3, 6 Kos) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. Vendar, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10th and lost the final round on all three scorecards.

 

“I am very unhappy with the decision. For every time he hit me, I hit him twice,” said Potapov, ki se je vrgel 315 jabs compared to just 113 for Young. “I was the much busier fighter. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. At the very most I lost four rounds.

 

“I’ve never had a draw before. I feel cheated from a win. I was very happy to be fighting in America but I now feel cheated.”

 

Po boju, St. Louis native Young was disappointed but knew that he needed to throw more punches.

 

“I feel like it was a good fight, but I should have got the decision,” Young said. “I hurt him every time I hit him. I let him be busier than me, but as far as the contact, I feel like I landed the more effective punches. That was my strategy.

 

“I should have come on a bit sooner. That was my plan, but I got a little relaxed in the fight. I came on in the ninth round when my coach told me to get him out of there.

 

“I most definitely want a rematch. I would like to do that again.”

Facing his toughest opponent to date, Menard floored (31-1, 23 Kos) Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. The Dominican Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. Less than one minute into third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo (21-1, 15 Kos) out before he even hit the canvas.

 

“I made a statement Nocoj. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,” said Menard, who landed nearly 50 odstotkov svojih moči posnetkov. “My speed, power and footwork were the difference.

 

“I said a prayer for him in the middle of the ring that he goes back to his family healthy.”

 

Bernardo, who was removed from the ring on a stretcher as a precautionary measure, was taken to nearby Oneida Healthcare where he was awake and responsive.

 

V uvodnem dvoboju na televizijska oddaja, undefeated cruiserweightKonstantin Bejenaru handed Alexey Zubov the first loss of his career in a convincing eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-74, 78-73 dvakrat.

 

Save for a flash seventh round knockdown, Bejenaru (11-0, 4 Kos) controlled the fight from the outset. The Moldova native overcame a four-inch height disadvantage, attacking from different angles and controlling the exchanges on the inside and outside. Zubov (10-1, 6 Kos) never got into rhythm and failed to capitalize on his reach advantage against the active and athletic southpaw.

 

“He was a good classical boxer, but he’s too straight up and he couldn’t adjust,” Bejenaru said. “It wasn’t as easy as it looked to beat him. I adjusted my style to do that because I knew it would make him hesitate. I knew if I just constantly attacked him he wouldn’t know what to do.”

 

Zubov and Bernardo are now the 146th in 147th boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

Evo, kaj so imeli borci povedati Sredinem zaključna tiskovna konferenca.
GARY RUSSELL JR.
(O Patricku Hylandu…)
“Najprej in predvsem, Moram mu pustiti kapo. Slišal sem ga, ko je rekel, da ga je treniral oče. Tudi mene in moje mlajše brate trenira moj oče. Moj oče je moj najljubši superjunak, zato se je zelo težko soočiti s takšno situacijo in se vrniti nazaj ter zmleti in vložiti ves trud in trud v to po vsem srčnem bolečini in izgubi, Za to mu moram pustiti kapo.
Vem, da kadarkoli imaš borca, ki trenira šest do osem tednov in se pripravlja na nikogar drugega kot na tebe, je nevaren boj. On je visok, on je dolg, lahko pa ga vzamemo. Obvladali bomo.”
(Ob vrnitvi po poškodbi…)
“Počutim se dobro. Jaz sem pripravljen; Delo sem dal v telovadnico. Kot sem rekel prej, Večkrat so me preklinjali in včasih sem zapustil telovadnico z občutkom, da sem najslabši borec vseh časov. Vendar, zdaj, pripravljeni smo in pripravljeni smo vlagati v moje sposobnosti.”
(O tem, kaj pomeni imeti svojega brata Antonia na kartici, ki jo vodi…)
“To pomeni veliko. veselim se tega. Pravzaprav se bolj veselim gledanja svojega brata na tekmovanju kot svojega boja. V tej borbi bom zagotovo delal njegov kot. Veliko nam pomeni, da lahko te informacije prenašamo iz generacije v generacijo in gledamo, kako rastejo, in gledamo, kako gradimo kot družina in kot enota. Neverjetno je.’
“Vsekakor ima potencial biti najboljši. Tako on kot Antuanne, ki je zdaj na 2016 olimpijska ekipa. To so vse informacije, ki se prenašajo iz roda v rod. Počutim se, kot da so zagotovo sposobni biti boljši od mene. Želel bi, da so vseeno.”
(O tem, kaj potrebuje za zmago v boju…)
“Moram ohraniti nadzor nad borbo, zmanjšajte razdaljo in ohranite udarec. Popolna dominacija; Želim se dotakniti telesa zgodaj. Zelo rad se giblje, zato bomo vse to zmanjšali.”
(O morebitnih bodočih nasprotnikih…)
“Božja volja, vse gre prav pride April 16, radi bi se poenotili z Leejem Selbyjem. Če bi imel svojo izbiro, Najprej bi šel z Leejem Selbyjem za poenotenje. Takoj za tem, Hočem Lea Santa Cruza in potem potrebujem Lomachenka.
“Ne zanima me kje [Lomachenko] premika. Naslednjega lahko izgubi 10 pretepi, toda preden je moja kariera končana, me mora videti.”
PATRICK HYLAND
(O tem, kaj mu daje občutek zadovoljstva v boksu…)
“Boriti se za naslov WBC je vse, o čemer sem sanjal, odkar sem bil otrok, in vse trdo delo, ki sem ga vložil, da sem prišel do tega položaja, da bi se boril zanj.. Srečna sem in zdaj samo za to živim Sobota noč.”
(Kot prvi irski boksar po Barryju McGuiganu, ki je osvojil naslov svetovnega prvaka v perolahki kategoriji…)
“To je vihra in je super. Sem samo lokalni fant iz Johnstowna v Dublinu in se borim na velikem odru in se borim za velik svetovni naslov, in spet bi bil imenovan za drugega perolahkega, ki bi kdaj osvojil naslov svetovnega prvaka, bi bilo prav neverjetno; resnične sanje zase.”
(O Garyju Russlu…)
“Vem, da ima hitre roke. Je odličen levičar in odličen boksar, zato moram biti po svojih najboljših močeh v soboto noč za to. V telovadnici sem delal na načrtu igre, da bi preprečil njegovo hitrost rok in vse se mora združiti na noč borbe. Lahko naredim vse to in povem vse to, ampak moram samo nastopiti v soboto noč in to vložil tako, da sem naredil vse, na kar sem delal, da bi postal prvak.”
Jose Pedraza
(Na trening kampu…)
“Počutim se res dobro, smo v zadnjem delu kondicioniranja. Bil je zelo dolg in intenziven trening, vendar smo opazili izboljšave v mojih sposobnostih. Dolgo sem čakal, da pride ta dan in Smithu bomo pokazali, da sem orožje.
(O Stephenu Smithu…)
“Smith je zelo dober boksar, ima veliko sposobnosti in inteligence. Je boksar z zelo dobro obrambo, vendar že uporabljamo različne strategije, da lahko nevtraliziramo vse njegove sposobnosti.”
(O tem, kaj namerava pokazati v soboto…)
“S svojimi sposobnostmi, kot Sobota, Dokazal bom, da sem nad Smithom in da sem na ravni tega, kar sem, prvak. Skupni, Želim samo pripraviti predstavo in upam, da bodo oboževalci uživali v tej odlični kartici.”
(O tem, kaj se je naučil iz boja z Ednerjem Cherryjem…)
“Naučil sem se, kar sem vedno govoril in kaj sem vedno počel do danes, ki nikoli ne gleda. Nikoli ne gledam preveč videoposnetkov svojega nasprotnika, ker bi bil na dan boja lahko popolnoma drugačen borec in mislim, da se je to zgodilo takrat. Poleg tega, uporabil je odlično strategijo.”
(O njegovih mislih o drugih portoriških boksarjih…)
“Pravzaprav sem svetovni prvak tako kot Rocky Martinez; obstaja veliko portorikanskih možnosti. Všeč mi je [Felix] Verdejo, vendar ga še ne štejem za kandidata za naslov svetovnega prvaka. Z boksarjem prvenstvenega kalibra se še ni boril, je pa trenutno med najboljšimi borci v Portoriku.”
(Na drugih borbah, ki bi ga morda zanimale 130 funtov…)
“Vedno sem govoril, da se manj borim proti Portoričanom, boljše. Če je zadnja možnost, Boril se bom tudi s Portoričani, vendar razen tega Rockyja [Martinez] svetovni prvak, tu je Francisco Vargas, [Javier] Fortune, da naštejem nekaj, ki so na vrhu mojega seznama.”
STEPHEN SMITH
(Ko se je prvič boril v ZDA….)
“Jaz sem navdušena. Če želite narediti ime v boksu, potem boš to storil v zveznih državah in to nameravam narediti tako, da bom v soboto postal svetovni prvak.”
(O tem, kaj ve o Pedrazi…)
“Dobro, ne prav veliko. Njegovo ime poznam iz amaterskih dni. Je dobro uveljavljen, on je olimpijec in je nadarjen človek. Boj proti nekomu pomeni zmagati ali ne, presega taktiko, onkraj sloga in res nabor spretnosti. Verjamem, da imam vse, kar je potrebno, da se borim s komer koli in nič mi ne bo preprečilo, da bi postal svetovni prvak.”
(O tem, kaj mora storiti, da pride do zmage…)
“Lahko je drugačen boj; vemo, da ga rad zamenja in boksa iz različnih stališč. Očitno je nadarjen, tako da bo za vsako smer drugačen niz, a vemo, kaj lahko pričakujemo. Vse sem opravil s svojim trenerjem Joejem Gallagherjem in pripravljeni smo.”
(O tem, da sta njegova brata Liam in Callum prvaka in kaj bi lahko pomenilo, da bi se jim pridružil…)
“je posebno. Pred dvema tednoma sta Liam in Callum osvojila naslov evropskega prvaka in to mi samo daje samozavest, duha za pohod. Psihično sem v res dobrem položaju in ne bi se mogel počutiti bolje, ko grem v to. Po tem, ko je moj tabor uspešno potekal, le bolje se počutiš, ko postaneš svetovni prvak.”
(O britanskih prvakih v porastu v zadnjem letu…)
“Tam je veliko zgodovine in zame in za mojo družino, zato delamo tisto, kar smo si vedno želeli, in želimo iti naprej.”
TRENER JOE GALLAGHER
(Na trening kampu…)
“Dobro je bilo. Očitno je zavrelo do Callumove zmage. Obstaja dober zagon. Callum in nato Stephen imata priložnost za naslov svetovnega prvaka. S Stephenom je bil počasen vzpon, vendar ga je, kot jaz temu rečem "njegov finale svetovnega prvenstva".’ — nekaj, kar bo vzelo srce in moč. Njegova moč gre zelo dobro. Pedraza je zelo dober borec, dober pravoslavec, dobra južnica, lahko ga pomeša in pripravljeni smo na kateri koli slog, ki ga želi prinesti v soboto.”
(O procesu priprav na borca, kot je Pedraza…)
“To je nočna mora. Dovolj težko je, ko se boriš s kakovostnim pravoslavcem ali kakovostnim južnikom, katerega je, ampak ne samo to. Lahko boksa tudi na zadnji in na sprednji nogi, tako da smo različni sparing partnerji, med krogi mešamo sparinge, menjavanje stališč, in kakorkoli se želi Pedraza boriti ob koncu noči, Prepričan sem, da bomo imeli odgovor.”
(Glede na to, kako se bo boj odvijal po njegovem mnenju…)
“Mislim, da je to vse odvisno od Pedraze, se ozrem na nekaj njegovih bojev, boksa počasi in dobro začne, potem pa se zdi, da v rundah malo izgubi pot. Ko ga gledaš proti [Andrey] Klimov, začel je zelo dobro, ga zelo hitro spravil v manire in ga skoraj premagal v četrtem krogu, vendar [Andrey] uspel se zelo dobro obstati in zelo dobro boksati. Prišel je v srednje kroge, malo izgubil pot, zamenjal južnjak, tako da bo tako ali tako fascinantno. Poskrbeti moramo le, da nas ne ujamejo zgodaj, ko je hiter in oster ter poskuša v Stephena Smitha vnesti manire in ga nato odpeljati v globoke vode, kot je Edner Cherry.”
(Njegova napoved…)
“Stephen Smith. Po možnosti z nokautom. Ne, vsekakor z nokavtom.”
