Here is what the workout participants had to say Tuesday in Hollywood : ЛЕО САНТА ЦРУЗ “We kept our training camp going despite the change of opponent . We always train the same no matter who the opponent is . “We spar against fighters who have every different kind of style , because the opponent could always bring something new to the ring . My dad tells me to always be prepared for any kind of style . We are ready for whatever the opponent brings into the ring . “I’m always staying in shape whether I’m in the gym training for a fight or not . When they call us and tell us what the fight is , we’re always ready . “I know that Rivera has fought some good opponents like Joseph Diaz and Joet Gonzalez , and he’s gone the distance with them . He’s given them tough battles . He’s shown that he’s a tough fighter who will leave everything in the ring . “This isn’t going to be an easy fight . Rivera is tougher than people have given him credit for in the past . It motivates me to try to be the first to knock him out . If I have the opportunity for it , I’m going for it . Most important though , is to come out of there with the victory . “Sometimes when my dad is having tough days dealing with the cancer , I want to stay at home with him , but he tells me to go to the gym and train hard . So I tell him that we’re going to work hard for him . We both motivate each other . “(ВБЦ Феатхервеигхт Шампион) Гари Расел Јр. is the fight that I want . He beat me in the amateurs , but in the pros I get 12 метака. I think that I can beat him. ” ЈОСЕ САНТА ЦРУЗ, Leo’s Father & Тренер “We didn’t worry too much about the opponent change . I don’t think it makes too much of a difference . Leo is going to be at his best and ready for whoever steps into that ring . “We didn’t let the change effect our routine . We continued the same preparations as always so Leo is ready to fight . We respect every opponent too much to ever fall behind in conditioning . “I think this is going to be a good fight . Leo is always very competitive and any time he can win a fight he knows it will be big for his career . “Leo is 30-years-old right now and I think that he will be retired by 35. He has a lot left to accomplish in this sport and our team is going to keep pushing him to be the best that he can. ” Ричард Шефер, Председник & Директор Рингстар спорта “Top to bottom this is just a great card . It’s going to be toe-to-toe action downtown at L.A . Уживо. It’s an affordable ticket at $30, and that gives you the chance to see one of the stars of the sport in a slugfest . “Leo Santa Cruz always brings great action and drama when he enters the ring . You have to be on the edge of your seat during a Leo Santa Cruz fight and I expect nothing less next Saturday night . Rafael Rivera has nothing to lose in this fight , and that is the recipe for a tremendous showdown . “Boxing at Microsoft Theater has caught on . That fight in January between Caleb Plant and Jose Uzcategui had a great atmosphere and it is just a beautiful place to watch the fights . Microsoft Theater is becoming the indoor ‘war grounds ’ of boxing. ” Том Бровн, Председник ТГБ Промоције “Rafael Rivera put up a great fight against Joseph Diaz Jr. , and he came back against Joet Gonzalez and lost a split-decision , but he really won that fight . Rivera should only have one loss on his record . “Rivera is going into this fight with the same granite chin that he showed everyone against Diaz . He was prepared and ready when the call came for this fight . He’s a great replacement . Leo better be ready and not take him lightly. ” # # # ABOUT SANTA CRUZ VS . RIVERA Leo Santa Cruz vs .
