Chris Pearson
On fighting Justin DeLoachā¦
āI have had my back against the wall before. I know how it feels. I perform at my best when I have my back against the wall. I know heās a talented fighter and that he has power in both hands, but I also know that he looks shaky when he gets cracked. Heās an athletic guy, heās fast and moves well, but Iām the more skillful fighter.
āDeLoach makes a lot of mistakes in the ring. Iām going to take advantage of that. Heās never been against a guy like me. He wonāt pass through me. Iām simply the better fighter here.
āI have the better jab and I have the pedigree. Iām disciplined and patient. Youāll see cras nox, DeLoach is in for a surprise. The only way this kid beats me is if Iām going with the wrong strategy, but I know I wonāt. As far as skill for skill, I know Iām at a different level.ā
On training campā¦
āIāve been in camp since April last yearāalmost a year. Iām not concerned in the very least about making weight. I woke up this morning at 152 libras. I learned from my mistakes. Every fight that Iāve looked mediocre itās been because I kill myself making the weight.ā
On his loss against Eric Walkerā¦
āI struggled to make weight for my fight against Walker. I had to lose 20 libras in 10 diebus. I waited until the last minute to make weight and I paid the price. Non habui crura. I had him in the position I wanted him, but I had no energy to close the deal. I couldnāt deliver. I lost that fight on the scale. I learned my lesson. It wonāt happen again.ā
On cras nightās matchupā¦
āI donāt think itās going to be a boxing match for long. Once one of us gets comfortable with the range and believe we have the advantage, we are going to start opening up more. If he comes up a little hotter, I believe my skills are going to dictate the pace and make adjustments as we go. Boxing is the sweet science but is not rocket science. You get in there and you find the advantage. You do what you have to do, adjust and get the win.ā
Justin DeLoach
On working with his new trainer, Lucius Robinsonā¦
āI had some differences with my previous trainer [Paul Williams]. I wanted more of the mental side of training, not only the physical. We just had different philosophies so I decided to change trainers.
āIām training with Lucius Robinson now and itās a big changeāpsychologically and philosophically. Iām really breaking down what Iām doing in the ring. Iām not just going in there to fight. As a young fighter you get in the ring and you just fight, but you have to do more than that. Iām learning how to use my head in the ring. When Iām hitting you, I know why Iām hitting you, where Iām hitting you. I know what Iām going to do.
āLearning the mental side of my sport really took me to another level. Anybody can get in there and get knocked outāthatās why I had my first lossābut who can really go in there and do what Floyd does? Break an opponent down in the later rounds. Master the sweet science. Thatās the biggest change I had in my career, to learn the mental side of the sport.ā
On his last three fightsā¦
āI fought three undefeated prospect last year and I beat them. Pugnavi Junior Castillo who has power in both hands. I went in there, I did my thing and I outclassed him. I got the knockout over Dillon Cicero et tunc Dominique Dolton, who is a respectable opponent. I had a heck of a year.ā
On his fight against Dominique Doltonā¦
āIt was something that came together last minute. I was supposed to fight Chris Pearson but he got injured. I really appreciate the opportunity of fighting Dolton because a lot of up-and-comers donāt have the opportunity to fight a guy like that. Dolton was like a championship fight for me. He taught me a lot and took me to a whole different level. He was a replacement opponent, and my God, heās a hell of a fighter.ā
On his KO over Dillon Cook on ShoBoxā¦
āItās funny. Iām more of a boxer than a puncher. I donāt look for the knockout. I like to box. I think of myself as a boxer-puncher. I feel my opponents donāt usually know how much power I have. They underestimate me and Iām OK with that. My power catches them off balance.ā
On fighting a southpawā¦
āWhen you fight a southpaw, there are only two people you can study: Mayweather atque Roy Jones Jr. If you watch tape on them you can learn a lot. It can help you develop your skills. I did my homework. I know exactly what Iām going to do cras."
On making weightā¦
āI never had a problem making weight. My body feels good. When I was with Ronnie Shields at the beginning of my career, I learned that if I take care of my weight early on, you can concentrate on training for the fight. So, thatās what I do. I make weight early and then I train hand to fight my opponent.ā
Saul Rodriguez
On cras ' fight against Oscar Bravoā¦
āI want to look good. If I focus on dictating the pace for this fight, the knockout will come. My punches will keep on coming and I eventually will get some damage done. Iāll drop him and then, Iāll stop him.
āI always look for the knockout. Itās just more satisfying for me. I like KOs, but Iāll be patient. I feel that Bravo is tailor-made for me. Ille numquam cessaverunt. So I want to stop him. Ne quis me iniuria, I wonāt be reckless. But if heās there for me to punch, Iāll punch him and Iāll go for the knockout.ā
On changing promotersā¦
āTop Rank wanted to sign me again, but it was my decision to leave. I felt I was not treated well. I felt that I wasnāt getting the opportunities I deserved. So I decided to sign with Floyd, and here I am, fighting on SHOWTIME. It was a good move.ā
On sparring with Mikey Garciaā¦
āIāve sparred with Mikey Garcia for years. He got me ready for almost every professional fight Iāve had. I would say weāve sparred over 100 rounds. Tantum ab eo didici. I think that having him as a sparring partner itās been a difference maker for me. Itās made me a better fighter.ā
On whatās nextā¦
āIām going to get a title at 130 first and then Iāll move up in weight. Iād like to fight Miguel Bercheltāthe guy that just beat Vargas. Gervonta Davis is at that weight too. Iāll meet him down the road. Iām more interested in unifying. I want to get the WBC title and then I want to go for the IBF.ā
Oscar Bravo
On training campā¦
āIāve been training in Floydās gym in Vegas. We were in training camp for a while. Puto 135 is my best weight to fight at.ā
Suo aduersario, Saul Rodriguezā¦
"Ille vir bonus Pugnator. Heās a young fighter and hasnāt been in the gym with the experienced fighters like I have. He throws wild punches. Si faciet quod, I will make him pay.ā
On whatās nextā¦
āI want to be a world champion someday. Iāve never had this much time to prepare for a fight, so youāre going to see a different fighter this time. Iām confident and feel like this fight is going to change my life.
āMy dream was to become Chilean champion and I did. I always took last minute fights with two weeksā notice and went the distance.ā
Andrew Tabiti
On his performance against Keith Tapiaā¦
āI kept my composure. I thought I was sharp. A lot of people didnāt think I was going to beat Tapia, but I did. Styles make fights and we were matched perfectly. Since Tapia, Iām much better. He was high energy and moved a lot. He threw me off of my style at first, but I adjusted.ā
Suo aduersario, Quantis Gravesā¦
āI watched some tape on him. Heās flat-footed and stays stationary. I know what he has to offer. I can adjust well. I got a good jab, a great body punch.ā
On whatās nextā¦
āIād love a world title shot, but Iām going to stay patient. Iām still at Floydās gym and working hard. I want to be a heavyweight someday. Iād like to stay more active and fight more.
āIf things go well, Iād like a title shot later this year. There are not a lot of American boxers in my weight class. Iād like to fight Shumenov Beibu. Thatās who I want.
āIād like to move to heavyweight later in my career.ā
Quantis Graves
On his matchup cras nightā¦
āI plan on beating Andrew Tabiti cras nox. Iāve prepared for this. Weāve done everything. Iāve been prepared for this fight mentally. Iāve never been 100 percent for a fight, except for this one.
āIām not worrying about Tabiti. Tabiti is worried about me. He has the title to lose. Thatās how I feel about it. Iāve seen his YouTube videos, and Iāve seen the mistakes heās made. And Iām going to capitalize on those mistakes.
āIām not just fighting Tabiti, Iām fighting TMT. Iām fighting Floyd. Iām taking this fight very seriously.ā
Suo aduersario, Andrew Tabitiā¦
āEverybody can look good when you fight guys that canāt fight. His last opponent, [Keith] Tapia was good. But who else has he fought?
āI have everything to gain, nothing to lose. Esurio. Iām not a pampered, spoiled guy. I have nobody buying me cars. I have a car note, a house note, two kids and another one on the way. Esurio. I have everything to loseā¦Iām going to do what I have to do.ā
On his pro careerā¦
āI had a great amateur career. I had some stops and starts. I had issues when I didnāt get signed with a promoter coming out of the Olympic trials and that stalled my pro career a bit. My professional career started off slow. Iām not as active as I would have liked to be but Iām a young 34. Iāve never taken a beating. I fought five times and 2014, and twice in 2015 and last year, no fights. I live a clean life and donāt drink or donāt smoke. I just train. Every day.ā

Hereās what the fighters said about their fights Friday, training camp, their respective opponents and more:
ANDREW TABITI
āIt’s great that four undefeated cruiserweights are fighting each other. I want us to get the ball back into U.S. territory, since it is a historically European-dominated division. I definitely think the emergence of young cruiserweights like myself is changing that.
āI don’t compare myself to other cruiserweights in the division, I know I’m the best. I’m always looking to win impressively, and I look to put on a great performance for the fansFriday nox.
āEverything has been perfect. Disciplina castra fuerit iens magna. I started camp in February so I feel strong and comfortable. What’s interesting is that I’m not nervous at all despite this being my first headlining debut. I see it as any other fight where I know what I am coming in to do. I think that lets me know that I am maturing as a fighter and feel a lot more confident in my skills and abilities.
āIāve been waiting for the right date and this is it. I believe my career moving is great, what I dreamed of. Now itās time to take the next step.
āPersonally Iāve never seen Tapia fight, but Iāve watched videos. He is unbeaten, a solid opponent. Styles make fights and this is a good one for me. Iām looking forward to continuing to step up and give everybody a good performance and get close to a title fight.
āI canāt wait. Iām going in confident. The key is to get the victory, itās the main thing. Winning is everything.
āI feel blessed to be training out of Floyd’s gym and be able to fight under Mayweather Promotions. He’s someone I look up to so being where I am is a dream coming to reality. I love training at Mayweather Boxing Club. It keeps me focused and hungry.”
KEITH tapia
āFighting Tabiti is a great, real challenge. I like the way he fights. I viderint verebuntur, but Iām going to be bad weather for him. Iām going to take control right away; it will be a Tapia fight, not a Tabiti fight. Thatās a fact.
āTabiti is a talented boxer. His style is a Mayweather style. I love Floyd Mayweather as a fan, but Tabitiās not Floyd Mayweather. Me? I venientium ut dimicent, hands up, moving forward as I go. I want to run over you.
āIām definitely going to change the perception about me in this fight and the division because Iām a machine. Iām really confident and canāt wait to fight.
"Nam me, this is the right time. I am here and definitely ready to fight. I feel Iām the best in my weight class except no one has seen me yet. Tabiti may have the fame, but Iām not just going to talk the talk, Iām going to walk the walk.
āI think this is a big step up for me when I beat him. Once the bell rings, that’s when we know what is going to really happen.
āI’m going to become the cruiserweight champion, defend it a couple of times and then move up. I already feel like a champion both mentally and spiritually.
“All of my fights are equally important. I’m really satisfied with the way my career is going. If it wasn’t for boxing I wouldn’t be here right now. God and boxing saved me. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be alive.”
MICHAEL HUNTER
āThis is a step up as far as competition compared to the past, with him being an undefeated cruiserweight. He’s a good, long-ranging southpaw. We are actually around the same age; we were in the amateurs at the same time, but never fought each other.Friday, I aim to win impressively. I don’t want to say I’m going for the knockout, if it happens it happens, but hopefully we can get it.
āAlthough Iāve fought on TV quite a few times before, this is going to be a good show with Mayweather Promotions. I’m thankful to be fighting on the undercard of my good friend Andrew Tabiti. That’s an honor, to be honest. It’s going to be great that my family and friends outside of Las Vegas will be able to tune in to watch me, so that’s a blessing.
āI wouldn’t say I’m satisfied with the way my career is going. I can’t complain because I have no losses, I just wish it would go at a little faster pace. I’m a two-time Olympian and in the amateurs we’re used to fighting 4-5 times out of the week, so adjusting to fighting once every few months or so feels a little stagnant to me. I really try not to think too far into the future, I try to live in the moment, but I hope to get a title shot relatively soon.
āI went into training camp right after my last fight, so it’s been about eight weeks. Thereās always ups and downs in training, but as long as you keep a positive spirit, everything will end up going perfectly well. So it’s been going good I can’t complain. I usually train out of the Mayweather Boxing Club, but there’s been some construction going on so we have moved it to Fight Capitol and a few other places.
āI have been changing my training just to better myself, not necessarily for my opponent or for this fight.
āYou have to be a little more focused in the Mayweather Gym. There’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t really happen in a normal gym simply because he is Floyd so it will bring it out of you or it won’t. Only the strongest survive.”
Opnioni THOMAS
"Friday is a good thing for up-and-coming, American cruiserweights. There are a lot of us in the division looking to make our mark. Not just myself. This is our chance to show that America has good fighters in the cruiserweight division. Itās the perfect showcase.
āIām very excited about being part of Tuesday scriptor card. I am just taking it all in and looking to perform to the top of my ability and showcase my talents.
āHunter is young and hungry just like me, but I havenāt really seen or watched him. Iāve heard about him and Iām sure heās going to bring his āAā game.
"Scio quid faciam, thereās no need for a lot of strategizing. Iām not just showing up.
āI feel my career is going good to this point. I keep rising. Iām on television. I like the pace Iām going but there is only way to really go, and thatās to the top. I donāt consider myself the best cruiserweight, just one of the top comers. Eventually, and in due time, quamquam.
"Friday, Iām just going to do what I do best. Scilicet, you want to win impressively but the most important thing is to win. Iāve got to get that W.
āI live in Detroit but train in Miami, which is like a second home to me. Training camp has been going for about two months and it has been great. I get great sparring in Miami.ā
Ronald Gavril
āI’m looking forward to having this big opportunity. Many people don’t know who I am so fighting on SHOWTIME will start giving me the exposure and recognition I need.
āTraining camp has been going great, I feel strong and prepared. I’m happy and have no complaints. I feel blessed to be a part of this great card full of fighters with tremendous talent. It’s exciting to be able to share this with my stablemates here in our town.
āI’m looking forward to what this will bring not only for my future but for all of ours.ā
JUAN NOVOA
āTraining camp has been going great, I have been training for seven weeks now. I’m currently training in Miami, Fla.
āI have seen videos of his fights and can tell he is a strong fighter who is not afraid to mix it up. Considering that I have more professional fights and over 180 amateur pugnat, it is tough to say whether Gavril is a step up for me, until I step into the ring hoc Friday.
āI would be more satisfied with my career if I had already won a world title, but unfortunately the circumstances from my last world championship challenge didn’t turn out in my favor. I know that by winning this fight I would immediately launch myself into world title contention and potentially another world title opportunity. I see myself either challenging for, or defending a world title a year from now.ā
SANJARBEK RAKHMANOV
āIāve watched Olvera enough to feel I know him. Heās a taller, Mexican guy. Im expectabant pugnare.
āI train at Mayweather Boxing Club with Dewey Cooper; heās been my coach since I turned pro. I had about 150 amateur fights and I got a lot of international experience.
āI consider myself a puncher. Once the bell rings, I venientium ut dimicent.
āIām happy with the way things are going. Ego exercebuntur durum cotidie. Iām coming to take all the titles. This is my weight, around 143 libras. I donāt plan to go up much or down
āIn this fight I want to win and look good and then come right back. I think after about a year I will be ready to take on all the top guys.āā
ALFONSO OLVERA
āTraining camp has been great; we’ve been in training for about a month. Road work is good, the sparring is good with different boxers. The weight is not an issue. I train at Scrapyard Boxing Gym in Tucson, Ariz.
āOur opponent is formidable and to be taken serious. We know he is aggressive and expects to win so we have to bring our āAā game to the ring. We also expect to win.
āAt this point in my career I am very happy with my progress. This card is definitely for the world to see, and is also a big step forward for us.
āWe are welcoming the opportunity and grateful for it. We hope this fight elevates us to more opportunities and gets us closer to someday challenging for a world title.”
