Εδώ είναι αυτό που οι μαχητές είχαν να πουν Τρίτη:
OMAR DOUGLAS
“Νιώθω μεγάλη. I got some great rounds. The judges might have made it a little bit closer than it really was. But I went into his hometown and did what I do.
“He was about as tough as my last fight. The only thing tougher than the last one was that I had to come here on the road and do it.
“This builds me. It makes me a better fighter. I had a great opportunity tonight and I jumped on it. I feel like I’m the better fighter and tonight I proved it.”
FRANK DEALBA
“It was a very competitive fight. I think I landed more punches. He was more aggressive, but I was landing more.
“This is boxing. I just come here to put on a show for the great fans. Νόμιζα ότι κέρδισε τον αγώνα. I knew I beat him inside.”
MIGUEL CRUZ
“Ήταν μια μεγάλη μάχη, he was a tough opponent who was very agile and mobile. I had to be patient and it was great to get those rounds. I’m coming for the 147-pound division.
“I was definitely trying to break him down slowly. He was mobile, but I didn’t expect him to be so quick.
“I was hurting him every time I hit him and I finally got him out of there.”
VIRGIL GREEN
“The hits to the back of the head were the problem. I wanted the ref to do something about it but that’s what hurt me. I never recovered from it.
“I felt like I was frustrating him and out-boxing him. But I never recovered from that blow.”
ΧΡΙΣΤΟΦΕΡΟ ΜΠΟΥΚΟΚ
“Ήταν ένας καλός αγώνας. Είναι ένας καλός πυγμάχος, but I had to keep it rough. He has some good experience that kicked in, but my will, my heart and my training kicked in too.
“My loss is what got me motivated for this performance. No more setbacks, only get backs.”
LEO HALL
“I tried to work, We were working in there. I wasn’t surprised by anything. Ήταν ένας καλός αγώνας.
“I pushed myself. We got in there and fought. Δεν υπάρχει καμία δικαιολογία. We’re going back to work.”
