Vasquez has been training at the Triple Threat Boxing Gym in Colorado Springs. Here is what Vasquez had to say about training, hans US-. Army service, Aron Martinez and more:
SAMMY Vasquez
I like training out in Colorado. It’s where I live now and the altitude makes my training even better. The longer I stay out here, the more advantages I get.
I’m excited to be fighting on the west coast. I love fighting out here. I’m an exciting fighter and I’m fighting a local guy. Hopefully I can win and start building my own fans in L.A.
Aron Martinez is going to come forward. He puts his head in your chest and tries to wear you out. It’s all about attacking the body. If he wants to be the bull, I’ll be the matador.
We know his game plan so we’re preparing very well. If he tries to box me, I’ll outbox him all day.
We’re going to take it one fight at a time. Being in competition for a world title is what we want. All the best guys are in the welterweight division.
Where I am right now, I’m on the cusp of moving in on the big dogs in the division. I want to fight those guys. I feel like I’m ready to go. You have to take it one fight at a time in this division. It’s all about knocking out a name to get a name.
I try to use boxing to get anything out there about the military that I can. I’ve been deployed twice and diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) are very serious things. I’m lucky to be where I’m at right now. I want to push the word out there more. It’s very serious but I’m fortunate enough to be in a position to spread the word.
I think I’m going to stop him. Between the sixth and the eighth round. We’re going to meet in the middle of the ring. I’ve got more power than he’s used to. Everyone comes forward until they get punched in the face.

The workout took place at Garcia’s DSG Boxing Gym and the undefeated star was joined by his father and trainer, Angel Garcia. Her er hva deltakerne hadde å siOnsdag:
DANNY GARCIA
I’m just focused on Robert Guerrero because at the end of the day, that’s the task in front of me. None of the stuff in the future can happen if don’t get the job done.
I feel like I’ve faced some real good fighters. We just want to keep winning fights and getting bigger fights.
It’s almost impossible to predict the future in boxing. That’s why I don’t get ahead of myself. If the opportunity is in front of me, I’m going to take advantage of it.
I’ve worked hard to get to where I am today. It’s just about taking it one fight at a time to get to where we want to be.
This is my first fight being a father and I’m dedicating it to my daughter. I’m wearing pink and black for her. I named her Philly because of how important the city is to me. I’m the first Latino boxing champion from Philly and I wanted to name her something that was important to me.
I represent everybody. Jeg er fra Philadelphia, we’re all the same here. There’s not just one ethnicity. Where I’m from, we’re all cool.
I knew the opportunities would come and that I’d be fighting for a title eventually. There’s nothing like a championship fight, it’s just a different atmosphere.
We’re eating right, dieting right. We were already training like this was a title fight and now it’s come to fruition. I fought Morales for a belt and now I’m fighting another Mexican warrior in Guerrero.
AMIR MANSOUR
I expect Breazeale to come to fight. Looking at his prior fights, he doesn’t back down. That’s what I like. I don’t think that he’s going to run. He’ll engage and it’ll be an interesting fight.
Breazeale is a tall guy but he’s nothing different. You just have to train hard and focus on the task at hand.
I prepare to fight. I don’t prepare to run from a guy. I’m preparing to strategically target my opponent’s weakness. I don’t think he’s faster than me, I don’t think he’s stronger than me, he’s just taller than me.
I don’t think this fight is going the distance. I’m always going to predict that I’m going to be the winner. I really want to get this guy out of there and not leave it in the judges hands.
This isn’t my first time on the big stage. A win is a win. We’re all one punch away from success and one punch from failure. Any win is a blessing.
ANGEL GARCIA
We’re going up there the same way whether it was for a belt or not. Hungry and we’re coming back with that treasure.
After he wins that belt, I’m going to call my son the undefeated champion of the world yet again.
My son now knows that feeling of being a family and you never really know that until you’re a father. He’s always been humble but now he’s really doing it for his daughter. Now he can live the rest of his life to make sure her and her kids and grandkids will be okay.
Danny still trains the same. When we’re in camp, it’s camp. It’s all about Danny Garcia. Him and me do it like we’ve always done.
Danny had his mind on 147 for a while. We should have gone right to 147 after Matthysse but I wanted him to take his time. We’re where we want to be now.

LOS ANGELES (Januar 13, 2016) – With the highly anticipatedFight Week On FOX In L.A.just around the corner, Mexican warrior Aron Martinez, top welterweight prospect Javier Molina og ubeseiret lette prospektet Alejandro Luna holdt en media trening Tirsdag that filled the Wild Card West Boxing Gym in Santa Monica with local media ahead of their respective battles.
Tirsdag, Januar 19, Molina will face-off against undefeated prospect Jamal James i hovedturneringen av Premier Boxing Champions (PBC)TOE til tå TIRS på FS1 og Boksing Champions on FOX Deportes from Club Nokia at L.A. Live with televised coverage beginning at 11 pm. OG/8 pm. PT.
Fight Week On FOX In L.A.continues on Lørdag, Januar 23, as Martinez will battle undefeated welterweight Sammy “Sergeant” Vasquez on the debut of PBC on FOX & FOX Deportes from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in an event headlined by the welterweight showdown between Danny “Swift” Garcia og Robert “The Ghost” Warrior. Luna will also be featured against Alan Herrera on the undercard of theJanuar 23 event with televised coverage beginning at 8 pm. OG/5 pm. PT.
Both events are promoted by TGB Promotions with tickets available for purchase at AXS.com. Januar 23 tickets may also be purchased by phone at 888-929-7849 eller på Staples Center.
Here’s what the fighters had to say på tirsdag:
ARON MARTINEZ
Vasquez said he’s going to stop me and prove himself, but everybody says things before the fight. He’s going to start boxing once he feels my power. Although I don’t have the knockouts on my record I do have the power and he’s going to feel it.
I was always training before this run of success started even when I was off for fourteen months before the Robert Guerrero fight.
I think Guerrero underestimated me, I thought I won the fight but the judges had it differently.
Against Devon Alexander, I was the bigger guy. I’ve been fighting at 147 my whole life going back to when I was an amateur. He couldn’t hurt me and couldn’t deal with my pressure. I learned from the Guerrero to close the show like I did against Alexander.
This is my third southpaw in a row but I trained with my brother for many years who’s a southpaw. We sparred for years together and it was always about learning how to fight a southpaw. It might be weird to fight an orthodox fighter now.
JAVIER MOLINA
I’ve seen Jamal James fight a couple times, he has great reach and height but he gets tired late in his fights. He makes a lot of mistakes and has a lot of flaws.
My plan is to get inside on him and chop him down.
I prefer to fight in L.A. It’s been a while but I’m thrilled to be fighting on FOX Sports 1 og FOX Deportes, so this is a great opportunity for me to shine.
ALEJANDRO LUNA
I’ve seen Alan Herrera fight. He’s a very tough guy and I saw his fight with Monty Meza Clay, but we’ve had great sparring and we’re well prepared. I have a great deal of respect for him. I know how tough he is.
There’s no additional pressure on me, I’ve fought at STAPLES Center before and I’m ready to go. It’s great to fight at home and I’m sure I’ll have a lot of supporters.

Premier Boxing Champions couldn’t visualize a better partner than what we have with those at FOX. They have been tremendous and the shows on Fox Sports 1 have been terrific.
FOX is known for having big events; the NFL, Super Bowls and big NASCAR events. Now we have Premier Boxing Champions on January 23.
It gives me great honor and pleasure to introduce John Stouffer of FOX.
John Stouffer
On behalf of everyone at FOX, FOX Sports and FOX Deportes, we’re excited for the return of boxing to the FOX Broadcast Network after almost 20 år. We’re thrilled to be working with the PBC to bring the highest level of boxing back to the masses on Saturday, Januar 23, free on FOX and in Spanish on FOX Deportes.
This will be a tremendous conclusion to a thrilling week of boxing here in LA, kicking off with the great action on FS1 and Fox Deportes. We wish all the boxers the best of luck and can’t wait for Fight Week.
R. Blomster
I completely agree with the sentiments of John. We mentioned as well, Premier Boxing Champions is about putting boxing back on free TV. And these fights that we have on January 23 and January 19 are sure to capture the imagination of the public.
All right, let’s get back to business in regards to one of our main event fighters. As I mentioned, wins over Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Zab Judah, Lamont Peterson and Erik Morales. Fighting ut av Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with an exciting style, and man-oh-man, he has vowed to put on a terrific 2016.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the former world champion. He is joined alongside by his father, Angel Garcia. Here is Danny “Swift” Garcia.
Danny Garcia
Thank you guys for having me on, Jeg setter pris på det. I want to say good afternoon everybody and thank you for having me on this conference call.
I’m very excited to be showcasing my skills January 23 at STAPLES Center live on FOX. I think it’s a great opportunity for the fighters to showcase their skills in a new audience. I want to thank FOX and I want to thank all my fans all around the world for making this happen.
Team Danny Garcia is training hard and we’re focused, we’re mentally prepared and we’re ready for January 23 and we can’t wait.
Q
Danny can you talk about training camp and balancing that with the holiday season?
D. Garcia
I’ve done this before. I’ve trained on the holidays before throughout my career. It’s nothing new.
Once I got the fight date in my head, it’s kind of like there are no holidays for me. So it wasn’t hard for me to stay focused. I trained just like any training camp. And me and my dad, we train hard every day. “The holiday is no holidayis kind of a saying to us.
Q
What are the goals for you this year? And what do you think this fight can do for your future at 147?
D. Garcia
I think it’s a great fight, I think it’s a great fight for the fans. Two fighters who like to fight. So I think this is going to be an interesting fight and a great matchup.
This is just another fight to prepare myself for a fight for a world title. So I’m ready right now. Every fight in my career that’s going on now is going to be a big fight for me.
Q
12 months from now, where do you see yourself?
D. Garcia
I want to remain undefeated and hopefully be a champion if the opportunity comes up. We’re just taking it one fight at a time for right now and that’s how I did my whole career and that’s how I’m going to keep doing it
Q
When you’re in a fight, does that ever come across your mind when taking a risk or being a little more aggressive? Does that like weigh on you like don’t be too aggressive to risk something like that?
D. Garcia
Do Not, ikke i det hele tatt. I’m a fighter who takes risks all the time. I want to entertain the crowd. I have the ability to play it safe if I want too, but it depends on how I feel that day. But everybody knows that Danny Garcia likes to take risks.
When I’m in a fight, I’m just playing round by round; I’m not really worrying about a record or things like that.
Q
How does your body feel with moving up in the weight? You saw the power in your last fight. Do you feel like there’s anything different going from 140 til 147?
D. Garcia
For å være ærlig med deg, I feel a lot better. I’m happier now. When I fought at 140, I was always mean while trying to cut weight. I was never in a good mood. I think that’s why a lot of times I would go in there and just fight.
But now I’m able to think more; I’m able to be a lot smarter. My punches are crispier and my stamina is better. I’m able to run more, run more miles, train harder; more endurance. So I may have had the energy at 140 and do that, so at 147 so I just feel a lot stronger and I have more stamina.
Q
Do you see yourself being more active?
D. Garcia
Ja, I would love to stay active; I would love to stay active. Men, du vet, that my team’s job., I’m a fighter so whatever my team wants, I’ll do. So if they want me to fight two times or three times or four times, then that’s what I’m going to do.
But as for now we’re focused on January 23.
Q
With PBC giving you a lot of exposure, are you focused on just winning the fight or putting on a show with this national space so people can know outside of boxing who Danny Garcia is?
D. Garcia
It’s a Danny Garcia show. I’m always looking to put on a great show, and to go out there and give the fans an exciting fight because at the end of the day, I’ve got to give the fans their money’s worth.
So I’m going there and giving the fans their money’s worth in a great fashion and a smart explosive fashion.
Q
What kind of challenge does Robert present?
D. Garcia
I’m looking forward toI know he’s going to come ready, but we’re ready. I’m looking forward to a challenge. I’ve prepared myself for a challenge every day, day-in and day-out. So I expect nothing but a great fight and a great performance by me.
Q
What are your goals at 147?
D. Garcia
We’re taking it one step at a time. The goal is to become a world champion againmy second division of being a world champion. So we definitely want to be a world champion again. And when the opportunity arrives, we’ll take advantage of it.
Q
Can you talk of what the difference is in approaching a fight as the underdog with nothing to lose compared to the undefeated favorite with a lot to lose?
D. Garcia
I always approach my mind with the same mindset and it’s just a winner’s mindset. I’m not really too concerned about being the underdog or the promoted fighter or favorite.
I always approach my fight mentally that I’m going to win. I never feed into the politics of the sport or who people think is going to win or going to lose. I prepare myself to be the best Danny Garcia at every fight, and that’s what I prepared myself to do for this fight.
Q
I know you’ve gone on record saying that you didn’t it to be a Puerto Rico-Mexico kind of fight. But here in LA, it becomes that. We just went through that with Cotto and Canelo.
D. Garcia
Det er hva det er. Whatever the fans want to take it as or whatever the promoters want to do with it, it is what it is. I have a lot of fans and I have a lot of friends out there in Los Angeles, California.
I feel like I represent everyone; Americans and things like that and a lot of Mexican-Americans. I’m an American-Puerto Rican.
So I feel like if you’re born in American and you’re Latino, I think it’s all the same. So that’s how I’m feeling and that’s why I just feel like I represent all the Latinos.
Q
Is there a different feel when you fight in LA, when you go down to STAPLES Center?
D. Garcia
It’s a great feeling; it’s a great atmosphere. I fought there once before with Kendall Holt. I was the undercard.
LA is where stars are born. So I’m looking forward to going out there and having a star performance.
Q
What do you feel your advantages are over Guerrero going into this fight?
D. Garcia
I just feel like I’m the better fighter. I’m one of the best fighters in the world., I got to go in there and be the best Danny Garcia and have a great performance.
Q
Have you seen where and learned anything from watching any of Guerrero’s past fights?
D. Garcia
I definitely watch the fights because at the end of the day, du vet, I’m a boxing fan too and I just like to watch boxing.
I watch those fights and I see the things he likes to do and the things he doesn’t like. I’m just preparing myself for anything.
Q
Do you feel you have to make a statement?
D. Garcia
I’ve just got to go in there and get the job done like I always do. I’m not really worried about what’s next on the agenda or anything like that. Our main focus is to get the job done and that’s what we’re preparing ourselves for. Then we can talk about future opponents after the fight.
Q
Do you want to make any predictions for this fight?
D. Garcia
I’d like to say Danny Garcia wins by TKO. Round five.
Q
Did you think that Robert came back a little bit too soon for that Martinez fight and that perhaps is why he looked bad?
D. Garcia
I’m not really too sure. He might have underestimated the guy and not realized it was going to be that tough of a fight., I’m expecting a great Robert Guerrero and I’m focused on Robert Guerrero. I’m focused, Jeg trener hardt. So I’m prepared for whatever I’ve got to do to get this victory.
Q
Kenny Porter has said he had called you out and you ducked the fight with Shawn Porter. Would you care to address that at all?
D. Garcia
I’ve never ducked anybody in the sport. This is actually my second fight at 147. So it wouldn’t even make sense to duck anybody.
I addressed the situation before when he called me out and I had my comments and he had his comments, and it was what it was. Danny Garcia doesn’t duck anybody.
Q
If the opportunity does present itself and even though the report states that it did, but if the opportunity does present itself, it’s something that you would be interested in, a fight with Shawn Porter?
D. Garcia
Ja, ingen tvil. I want to be a champion. If he’s a champion or there’s a belt up for grabs, then we’ve got to make it happen.
But as of now, I’m focused on Robert Guerrero and he is the task ahead. Can’t let nothing sidetrack me; I’ve got tunnel vision. Jeg er klar for denne kampen.
R. Blomster
Angel, could you just give us some thoughts on training camp before we switch over?
Angel Garcia
Well yes. The time has been great, there’s no injuries. Danny is looking good. He’s got great sparring partners, as a matter of fact we spar in a few minutes a day. He’s looking great. Januar 23 the world will see again, as Danny said, the Danny Garcia Show. It’s not the circus coming to town, Danny Garcia Show is coming to town.
So California LA, get ready because we coming like a tornado. Right now they’ve got a storm out there, all this rain and all that. You know who’s causing that? We are.
So January 23, fans get ready baby. STAPLES Center on January 23. Love you guys.
R. Blomster
Danny back to you for closing comments and then Robert Guerrero.
D. Garcia
I’m very excited for this upcoming fight January 23rd. Like my dad said, we’ve put a lot of work in the gym. It’s been a long, hard camp preparing ourselves for any situation. I can’t wait to go out there, show my DSG west fans a great fight.
R. Blomster
Danny, tusen takk. We really appreciate it. We look forward to fight week with Danny Garcia and his father, Angel Garcia. As mentioned, fight week kicks off in Los Angeles on Tuesday, January 19th, Club Nokia, PBC på FS1, Javier Molina and Jamal James.
We are excited and couldn’t pick a better place than STAPLES Center in Los Angeles. Thank you to all the fans in Southern California for supporting PBC and the entire staff at STAPLES Center as well.
Let’s bring up a man who is representing the Bay Area, fighting out of Gilroy, California. He has won a world championship in multiple different weight divisions. Any time he steps inside the ring, it’s always electric, it’s always a show. He puts forth everything that he has and that much more. With victories over Andre Berto, Selcuk Aydin and Aaron Martinez, anybody that’s been put in front of him he’s fought and he has given everything. Not only is he a former world champion, but his wife is a world champion in her own right, having defeated cancer and she’s been cancer free for quite some time now.
Ladies and gentlemen, he’s joined alongside by his father and his trainer Ruben Guerrero, it gives me a great honor and pleasure to introduce the former world champion who is without question excited and thrilled to have the opportunity to fight Danny Garcia on FOX on January 23, ladies and gentlemen here is Robert Guerrero.
Robert Guerrero
Hello everybody, how are you guys doing? I’m excited to be here and ready for your questions, so shoot away.
R. Blomster
Robert, before we have open it up for questions I want to touch base with you. We heard some of the media during the conference call asking and pretty much saying that you’re the underdog. How do you react to the fact that Danny is the favorite in this fight?
R. Warrior
That don’t bother me at all. My whole life I’ve been an underdog, since I was a kid. My family was always an underdog, having to work out of a field and come up strong and get to what where we got. It’s just a way of life for us. A lot of us Latinos out there, that’s the way it is. We come from poverty and work our way to the top. We’ve always been with our back against the wall and always been an underdog. We never look at that being a favorite, we just come and get the job done.
Q
Could you talk about a little bit how being a boxer has shaped your faith?
R. Warrior
It’s just that fight and that struggle, getting through everything day in, day out. That hard work. When you go back and you look in the Bible, God says to put out as much as he put into you. That’s what I do every day I’m in the gym. This is a sport where anything can happen. One punch could change your whole life. It brings you closer to God. Everything else I’ve been through, you put God first all the time and that’s how we live.
Just being in the ring and knowing what’s God done for me and my career and my family and how far he’s taken us by having that faith in him, det er utrolig. It’s incredible. STAPLES Center Los Angeles main event on FOX against an undefeated fighter like Danny Garcia, it truly is a blessing from God to be able to be in the position that I’m in and the circumstances that I’ve had to face to be in this position also. The only way you can overcome everything is by having faith in God.
Q
Could you talk a little bit about the positive and negatives sides of being kind of a public religious figure?
R. Warrior
There’s always a positive to everything, no matter what the negative is. You get the people out there who test your faith and who judge you and try to tear you down. Men, when you’re a believer in Christ, you put him first. Nothing else matters to you. You work hard and you do what you got to do and you let your actions speak for you and what God’s blessed you with.
That’s one of the things that we’ve always done. And I try to not overstep our boundaries and try not to be out there forcing the Lord’s word down people’s throat. You let it come and you let people see how much you’ve prospered and how good God is in your life.
Q
Do you think that you did come back to soon after the Keith Thurman fight to fight Aron?
R. Warrior
Jeg har ingen unnskyldninger. Og, vet du hva? I came back; it was three months after the fight. I think somewhere around there; it was back in camp. Aron Martinez is a tough guy. Everybody saw his last fight and what he did. He came out rough and tough and did his job.
I think I have no excuses. I went out there and got the job done, he gave me a tough fight, and I’m not going to take anything away from Aron Martinez because he trained his butt off and came and did what he did and got the job done. So I have no excuses for that fight. You just got to get back on top of it and work hard.
Q
How did your body feel heading into that fight and coming out of the fight?
R. Warrior
I felt a little drained and worn out. Not so much of the fighting, but I had other situations going on in my life at home and emotional stuff. It all adds up. But like I said, there’s no excuse. Aron Martinez came to fight and that’s what he did. I sucked it up and bent down and showed that true grit and got through the fight and pulled a victory off.
Q
What are your thoughts on Danny?
R. Warrior
He’s been in some close fights. That’s the decision of the judges; that’s their job to do that. Men, you’re just as good as your last fight. That’s what you look at. He came in and got the job done and stopped him. He cracked the wall through a division. Now it’s time to step in with me and that’s what we’re focusing on. We put a great game plan together and we’re excited to get out there and execute it.
Q
When you see that as a fighter that you’re fighting a guy who’s younger, he’s undefeated, does that give you a little more edge and if you do beat him does it make it that much sweeter for you?
R. Warrior
Oh, most definitely it makes it sweet to give somebody their first loss. It’s shows what a true champion is to see what they do after they lose and their adversity and their back against the wall. I’m excited to be getting in there with an undefeated Danny Garcia because I get that shot like everybody else gets that shot, to crack that zero and put a one there. It’s exciting.
Q
How important is your record finishing out?
R. Warrior
It’s about trying to make yourself a better fighter. To come back strong and finish out your career with a strong output. It’s about becoming a world champion again and also attracting that Hall of Fame.
Q
I want to ask you about the wholeDanny didn’t want to make it a big deal about its Puerto Rico versus Mexicobut you know the fans always get so involved in it. You’re on the West Coast here, you know what it’s like, rett?
R. Warrior
Oh, most definitely. Whether you like it or not it’s a rivalry and it’s been a rivalry in boxing and soccer and you name it for years. That’s what it comes down to, that’s what makes our two cultures so competitive at boxing. It’s because of that rivalry. Mexicans want to be better than Puerto Ricans in the game. In my honest opinion I think Mexicans are better in the game. It’s time to come out and show what I still got left and what I can do.
Q
Nowhere better to do than STAPLES Center right here in LA, rett?
R. Warrior
Oh, most definitely. Where most of my Mexican fans are, all those Latinos out there, all thoseI like to call them Chicanos out therebecause that’s what we are.
Q
What advantages do you see you have over him?
R. Warrior
There’s always that southpaw stance, being a volume puncher, a guy that throws a lot of punches. Plus being at 147 a little bit longer than him it’s all an advantage. The key is using those advantages and capitalizing on them and taking advantage of them. We got to go out there and execute the game plan and make it happen.
Q
You fought some of the top guys in the world at welterweight; Mayweather, Keith Thurman, Andre Berto and all of that. What have you learned from those fights that you could use against Danny Garcia?
R. Warrior
You got to get better sparring. For the last couple of fights I’ve just been fighting with guys that are not even pushing me in the gym and getting me 100% klar. Guys that I can do what I want to do with in the ring. It just doesn’t cut it. It just doesn’t cut it.
That’s one of the biggest things that I’ve noticed in my training camp, is not having that solid sparring that’s going to take you to that limit and make you better, sharper, raskere. Keep your eyes sharp, and be ready to make those exchanges where you do something wrong they’re going to make you pay no where you’re going to do something wrong and the guy’s going to shell up and just try to survive in the ring. You need those guys that are going to push you and make you better.
Q
Does the time in between fights give you time to heal up and get sharper better?
R. Warrior
Not so much heal up. I always take good care of my body and I come out of these fights not really damaged too much. Jeg mener, I do a lot of damage in the ring to guys and don’t take a lot of it. It’s a matter of me sitting back and analyzing everything that’s gone on in my training camps and my career and what I need to do, what adjustments I need to make in the gym to get back to where I need to be. I think we made those adjustments and I’m excited to get back out there and make it happen.
Q
Do you want to make a prediction for this fight?
R. Warrior
Prediksjon; I’ll come in to fight. Jeg kommer til å kjempe. Only God knows what’s going to happen and all I can say is I’m coming to win and put out my best performance I can put out and make it happen and become a champion in the welterweight division again.
Q
When we had Danny on the line, Danny made a prediction. I don’t know what your thoughts on his. He said he’s going to TKO you in the fifth round.
R. Warrior
All I got to say is if that’s his prediction, come to do it. Because I’m coming to fight. I’m always up for that challenge and I love it because I know he’s coming to fight, også. If he’s coming to KO me in the fifth round, that means he’s coming to fight.
Q
Where do you see this putting you back in the rankings and how important is this fight to beat the undefeated with a lot of hype behind him in Danny Garcia?
R. Warrior
This throws me right back in. There’s lot of hype behind Danny Garcia coming at 147 pounds. There’s a lot of big talk that he’s the next star in boxing that’s going to take over. Like he says himself, stars come to Hollywood. He’s a big star in the sport and I’m not going to say he’s not because he’s been doing what he’s had to do. Han er ubeseiret; he’s taken out a lot of top guys. His resume is great.
I think this is a tremendous fight for me to get back on top and to get back in the ranks. To show the doubters and the media and everybody out there that Guerrero got a lot left in him. Jeg har vært 100% prepared for this fight fight. We got that out of the way and it’s time to take care of business on the 23 and I’m excited about it.
Q
Do you think Danny is adding in the factor that he’s not going to be the bigger guy this time?
R. Warrior
I think he’s going to be a lot bigger than people expect. Å være på 140 for the amount of time he was and coming up to 147 pounds, he’s feeling great. He’s feeling strong, he’s feeling bigger. He just walked through Paulie Malignaggi and I know he’s expecting to walk through me. So he predicted the fifth round, a knockout. So he’s feeling great about himself. That just excites me, because I know he’s coming at his best and he’s feeling his strongest and he’s coming to fight. It’s exciting to know how he’s coming to fight.
R. Blomster
Robert as we get ready to conclude the conference call, we really appreciate the time and looking forward to seeing you on fight week in Los Angeles. Did you have any closing comments for the media?
R. Warrior
I’m just excited to be back in the ring. It’s great to be in such a big event, especially here at home in California, på Staples Center, in the heart of Los Angeles. I’m excited about that. Also with this great undercard with Aron Martinez who’s a local Los Angeles fighter also who’s coming up strong. It’s going to be an exciting card and I’m excited.
Everybody says that they had the best training camp ever that they’ve had in I don’t know how long. I’m just going to tell you I had a great training camp. I’m excited about this fight; Jeg er i god form, feeling good. Jeg kan ikke vente; I had great sparring. I can’t wait to get into that fight and show the world Guerrero’s still here. I got a little bit derailed and now I’m back on those tracks and it’s time to go full steam ahead.

Heavyweight contender Travis Kauffman chimes in on controversial decision with Chris Arreola

Reading, PA (Desember 14, 2015) -Dette siste Lørdag night at the AT & T Center in San Anonio, Tungvekt Travis Kauffman (30-2, 22 KO s) and former two-time world title challenger Chris Arreola engaged in a action packed bout that saw Arreola get a dubious split decision by scores 114-113 twice for Arreola and 114-113 for Kauffman.
Most accounts of the fight had Kauffman getting the decision, which included PBC ringside scorer Steve Farhood.
Kauffman of Reading, PA. pushed the action and landed the more telling blows, which included a knockdown in round three from a jab-right hand combination. The fight validated Kauffman as a player in the division, but he wasn’t satisfied with just a good performance.
“Jeg føler meg bra. I thought I did enough to win the fight. I had it 8-4 eller 7-5 in my favor plus the knockdown,” said Kauffman after viewing the fight.
I dominated from rounds three to nine. I took off ten and eleven as I thought that I was secure with my lead. I dominated the twelfth round and after a three-punch combination, Chris went falling back and it looked like his glove touched the canvas. Uansett hva, I thought I won the twelfth round. I backed him up the entire fight. I dominated him at his own game.
Kauffman believes that he won over the crowd and those in attendance thought that he deserved the nod as well.
The crowd booed me as I came into the ring and cheered me when I left. I won them over and I won over the boxing public.
With the performance, Kauffman should be in line for another significant fight in the first quarter of 2016.
I spoke to my manager, Al Haymon and he said that bigger things are going to happen for me. Weather it is a rematch or someone else, Jeg er klar for det. I showed that I am a force in the division. I worked for so long for this fight, so I am just going to take a week off and enjoy my kids and I will be right back in the gym. I am looking to be back sometime between February and April.
I appreciate all the fans. The ones that have been with me before the fight one the ones that became fans på lørdag.”
Said Kauffman’s father Marshall Kauffman, “I am very proud of Travis and what he did in the fight Just look at each of them and you could tell who took the beating in the fight. The worst case scenario, the fight it was 6-6 but Travis scored the knockdown that should have gave him the fight. I believe he will get another opportunity. He showed what he is capable of doing.

I got into a good rhythm early and kept my foot on the pedal. I had him hurt early but he was a very tough opponent and pushed me to the later rounds. By coach Bob Santos told me to start throwing more uppercuts and that’s when I landed that big shot in the sixth round. I followed the right uppercut with a left hook and got him out of there.
Med seier, Nabolag, som har vært på rask vei, recorded his seventh victory of 2015. He’s very pleased to be staying active as he ascends to the top of the super-featherweight division.
“Jeg ønsker å takke PBC og NBC for denne muligheten.” Barrios fortsatte. “To be part of the PBC series is a dream come true. My goal is to continue winning and become a PBC superstar. I also want to thank my team for all their hard work. I’m very happy with my performance and I couldn’t have done it without them. I’m looking forward to another busy year in 2016.

Her er hva jagerfly hadde å si onsdag:
OMAR FIGUEROA
“Treningsleir har vært fenomenal. Jeg tror ikke det kunne ha gått bedre. Vurderer alt jeg har vært gjennom dette året, det er slikt et pust av frisk luft for å være i stand til å faktisk trene og trene til min fulle.
“Jeg tror jeg definitivt blir bedre. Vi slutter aldri å forbedre og hvis vi gjør, det er når våre karrierer ende. Vi prøver alltid å lære og se hva vi kan gjøre bedre, og hvor vi kan utvikle. Det er en reise som vi er ikke engang halvveis gjennom.
“Jeg tror ikke jeg hadde best ytelse mot Ricky Burns mai. Vurderer jeg hadde en brukket hånd gjennom leiren, Jeg kunne egentlig ikke trene i leiren. Jeg slo en tidligere verdensmester, og jeg gjorde det uten trening så mye som jeg ønsker.
“Til meg, en kamp er en kamp. Jeg liker å slåss. Jeg elsker å være i ringen. Jeg er begeistret for det. Jeg kan ikke vente. Jeg vil bare utføre og se hvordan jeg føler meg.
“Jeg tror Antonio DeMarco er en perfekt plass for min stil. Han er veldig tøff, men han har feil. Han forlater kroppen åpen og det er noe jeg tror vi kan utnytte. Hvis alt går etter planen, vi vil komme seirende ut.”
ANTONIO DeMarco
“Jeg kommer tilbake for kjærligheten til sporten. Jeg ønsker å vise alle som har skrevet meg av, at jeg fortsatt er her og farlig. De kommer til å spise sine ord Søndag morgen.
“Jeg hadde tidligere pensjonert på grunn av personlige årsaker, men boksing er en så stor del av livet mitt. Det førte meg ut i gatene og gitt min familie et godt liv. Jeg har vært i stand til å hjelpe min søster som har kjempet kreft, men er nå frisk. Jeg kunne ikke la en sport som har hjulpet så mange mennesker.
“Jeg er tilbake med min gamle trener, som har hjulpet meg å nå de beste øyeblikkene i min karriere. Romulo Quirartes og jeg jobber hardt for å komme tilbake til det nivået.
“Jeg har mye respekt for Omar. Han er ubeseiret og han har gjort noen virkelig gode ting i denne sporten. Det er en hard kamp, men det er en hard kamp for oss begge. Det kommer ikke til å bli lett for Omar.
“Jeg vil at fansen til å se en stor kamp. Det kommer til å bli en krig. To meksikanere, med meksikansk blod er alltid en stor kamp. Jeg har trent for en krig, og jeg vil vise alle at jeg er klar når jeg går inn i den ringen.”
DOMINIC Breazeale
“Treningsleir gikk bra. Vi hadde en god ni eller 10 ukers camp med en mangfoldig gruppe av sparringspartnere. Jeg faktisk falt om 10 pounds så jeg føler meg sterk og sunn.
“Det er stort å avslutte året på NBC på AT&T Center. Jeg kunne ikke be om mye mer.
“Jeg ser frem til å kjempe for belter. Line dem opp. Jeg ønsker å kjempe toppen 10, topp 5 Gutta konsekvent. La oss få det gjort.
“Jeg har jobbet veldig hardt på å rette feil og forbedre på min håndverket. Som en fighter du det er det du ønsker å gjøre. Jeg spør alltid å bli testet, og det er det jeg gleder meg til.”
CHRIS Arreola
“Jeg vet at jeg har en tøff test foran meg. Min motstander har mye amatør erfaring og han har vært en god proff. Jeg må gjøre dette til en greve. Du vet aldri når det kommer til å være din siste sjanse.
“Jeg så ille i mine to siste kamper, og du er bare så god som din siste kamp. Jeg tror min motstander ser på meg som en fighter på vei ned, og at fyrer meg opp. Han kommer til å ønske at han aldri kjempet meg.
“Jeg har alltid tenkt på meg selv som en elite fighter. Mitt hovedanliggende er Travis Kauffman. Jeg har til å slå ham overbevisende. Jeg trenger å slå ham til det punktet hvor alle vil at jeg skal kjempe for en tittel. Jeg ønsker å tjene min tittel shot.
“Dette er begynnelsen til en tittel kjøre. Jeg ønsker å sementere meg selv som en topp tungvekter i verden. Jeg er en tungvekter å regne med, og jeg kommer til å bevise det for alle. Jeg trenger denne kampen for min karriere.”
VICTOR ORTIZ
“Jeg har hatt mine oppturer og mine nedturer, men jeg vil bare ut der og underholde fansen igjen. Jeg tror ikke fansen noen gang har blitt skuffet over hvor mye handling det er når jeg kjempe.
“Min prime er fortsatt her. Jeg kommer til å dra full nytte av det. Hollywood scenen er kult, det gjør ikke vondt så ille, men jeg foretrekker å være en verdensmester. Jeg ønsker å komme tilbake til det nivået.
“Jeg har vært å skyve meg selv hele leiren. Jeg er bare her for å sette i verk. Vi er klare til å gå sette på et show. Jeg vet at min motstander kommer til å komme sulten og jeg er klar.
“Jeg har gjort store endringer i min karriere, og jeg tror det vil være til det bedre. Jeg håper alle låter i. Jeg er klar til å gå til krig.”
MARIO Barrios
“Behandling opp året med en kamp som dette i min hjemby, det er det beste jeg kunne be om. Jeg gleder meg til å være hjemme slåss foran familie og venner.
“Jeg har blitt mye bedre som en fighter i år. Jeg har lært mye om hvordan å opprettholde ro i ringen. Dette er ting som jeg har vært i stand til å få med erfaring. Jeg ønsker å holde seg aktiv og får stadig bedre.
“Treningsleir har vært stor. Vi gikk ut til Houston for en uke av vår opplæring for å jobbe med Miguel Flores og kom tilbake forrige uke til slutt opp i San Antonio. Jeg føler meg sterk og klar til å sette på et stort show Lørdag.
BRANDON FIGUEROA
“Jeg føler meg veldig bra. Mitt team og jeg har gjort ting rett, og jeg er klar til å komme i ringen Desember 12.
“Min første kamp var også på et stort show med min bror taktrekket. Jeg sier ikke at jeg er vant til det. Men jeg er egentlig ikke en emosjonell person, så jeg ikke vil bli fazed av scenen.
“Jeg er glad for å være en del av dette showet. Det er så mange store krigere, og det er en velsignelse å være en del av denne hendelsen.
“Min bror og jeg både liker å slagsmål og gi fansen et show, men jeg vil si jeg er en mer teknisk fighter. Jeg liker å holde avstand. Når det kommer ned til å kaste slag og trading, det er det vi liker å gjøre.
“Min motstander er høyere enn mine tidligere motstandere, og han har noen amatør erfaring. Jeg kommer til å prøve å bokse ham, holde seg på utsiden og skadet ham med kroppen skudd.”
