Bojownicy postawili na pokazie, który obejmował walkę z cieniem, ciężka torba, praca z rękawicą i rozciąganie. Dołączył do nich łaciński artysta Roc Nation Victoria La Mala, kto będzie wykonawcą hymnu narodowego Czerwiec 17.
Poniżej przedstawiamy, co zawodnicy i La Mala mieli do powiedzenia podczas treningu medialnego:
Guillermo Rigondeaux, Mistrz świata WBA Super Bantamweight:
„Trening w Miami szedł znakomicie, przygotowywaliśmy się do wielkiej bitwy z Moisesem Floresem. Szanuję Chucky'ego, jest świetnym wojownikiem i są to rodzaje wielkich walk, które świetnie nadają się do boksu. Nie ma nic lepszego niż dwóch niepokonanych wojowników wystawiających swoje rekordy na szali.
„Flores przyjdzie przygotowany na walkę swojego życia, ja też. We never underestimate anyone and two undefeated warriors will be getting in the ring for an exciting fight on June 17.
“I have been constantly avoided by all the fighters in my division. I am the best in the world at 122 pounds and one of the top pound-for-pound fighters. I can’t wait to show the world that I am still the best. I thank Flores for having the courage to get in the ring with me unlike many top contenders that have avoided the challenge. Tune in Czerwiec 17 to watch two fighters bring all that they have to the ring. It’s going to be an exciting co-main event on this year’s biggest boxing card.
“I’m happy for the opportunity to be part of such a big Pay-Per-View event, one of the biggest anticipated fights of the year – Ward vs. Kowaliow 2. I’m very grateful to fight on such a big platform, and I want to let boxing fans know to expect nothing but an exciting fight. My opponents feel my power and run after the first round. Chucky Flores is a brave undefeated boxer that is coming with all he has, and we’re ready to show why each of us is the best come Czerwiec 17.
“I’ve had everyone in my division run away from any mentions of me in the ring with them. My team is first focused on the Flores fight, and we’re ready to come and fight the best names in my division so that we can give the fans what they pay big Pay-Per-View money for, big exciting fights.
“I’m grateful to be a part of such a close community here in Miami, FL especially my boxing family at Tropical Park Boxing Gym. Miami is my home and I have all the support with me down here. I’m thankful for all the support that my fans brought during my training camp here in Miami. We have been able to bring boxing back here in Miami and make a great impact on the community, especially all the families that come to the park.”
LUIS ARIAS, USBA Middleweight Champion:
"Czerwiec 17, I start cementing my name and legacy in this game! I’m ready to steal the show and prove that I stand amongst the best in the division.
“I’ve stepped up all levels of training. I train six days a week with two hours of boxing, one hour of strength and conditioning, and run 3.5 - 5 miles on average. I’m also working with one of the top nutritionists, Chris Alergi. He helps me with what to eat and how to monitor my weight. Can’t wait to show all of my progress on Czerwiec 17.
“My message to Magomedov is simple…I hope he comes ready. He better be doing ‘em sit-ups. Idę!
“When I step in the ring, it’s not just about getting a win anymore. It’s about winning and looking good. I’ve built up my record. Teraz, I’m looking to put on an A-class performance. That’s what is going to make me stand out.
“My goal for the second half of 2017 is to put myself in top ‘contender’ position for what is probably the most stacked division in professional boxing. GGG, Canelo, Lemieux…bring them on!"
VICTORIA LA MALA:
“It’s an honor to be singing the national anthem at such an anticipated boxing event. Being from a Mexican family, I grew up watching boxing and am a huge fan of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. I can’t wait to cheer on my Roc family–Inny, Rigo and Luis–na Czerwiec 17."
