Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from Oasis Elite Boxing Club:
ADRIEN BRONER
“Mwen santi mwen reyèlman bon. I’m confident as always. Training has been great and I’m just ready to put on a show for my hometown.
I love fighting in Cincinnati. I know that I have a lot of people coming to see me win, but even in my home city, there will be people coming to see me lose.
I handle the pressure of a hometown fight here. This one is one a whole different level because I haven’t fought here in a long time and I can’t wait.
I know that Granados is not coming in here to back down. He’s a tough guy but I’m ready for anything he has.
I could box every two weeks if they let me. But if I can stay healthy I’m looking forward to staying more active this year and fighting as many times in big fights as possible.
It’s a surreal moment for me to be in this position as a fighter and as a promoter. I know that these young fighters look up to me. If I go and keep winning world titles, it’ll remind them that they have more work to do.
I don’t want to do anything but bring out the best Adrien Broner. There are some fights you can win, but not with a great performance. With a guy like Granados, I can’t slack. He’s only going to bring the best out of me.
My main focus right now is on Adrien Broner and bringing more positivity in my life. It all starts with boxing.
ADRIAN Granados
We’re all a family in the gym. We’re there to push each other. It’s my turn to get the job done and I’m glad we have each other to push ourselves to be the best.
I wasn’t happy about my layoff for much of last year. I lost an opportunity that I wasn’t happy about it. Patience ended up being the best in the end because now I have the kind of opportunity that every fighter wants.
I’m definitely dedicating this fight to my little brother Ed Brown. I think about him every day. He’s got the best seat in the house up in heaven and I’m going to put on a great performance for him.
Adrien is a strong puncher but I try not to focus too much on my opponent. I’m focused on myself and what I can do to beat the man in front of me.
My team told me to stay patient and with their guidance we got this deal signed and I got this great opportunity. I’m looking to take advantage of it.
DAVID AVANESYAN
Lamont Peterson is a very good fighter. I’m happy to be able to face him here in the U.S. and I’m looking to keep my belt.
I am going to do my best in the ring. I’m going to give it my all and the fans can expect a great fight.
If I can win this fight, I’m open to fighting anyone in the welterweight division. I want big fights with the best fighters in the world.
It’s important that I win this fight. This can open up doors for me and I know that I have the team that will work hard to get me these matchups.
I think his layoff will hurt him. I’m going to come out and see what he’s bringing to the ring and then I will adjust and do what I have to do to get the victory.
LAMONT PETERSON
This is definitely the weight I want to be fighting at. I like the way I feel and the kind of shape I’m in. There are a lot of good names in this division and a lot of opportunities out there.
To be back for a title fight is a blessing. I’m thankful for that. Everyone needs to know that the whole time I’ve been out, I’ve been working and getting better.
I’m glad to get this string of welterweight title fights started. I’m anxious to see how everything plays out and who comes out on top as the number one welterweight.
We get great conditioning in the gym. It’s been another amazing training camp and we’re going to put that effort into the ring.
I look at this as me becoming the mandatory for Keith Thurman’s belt. This is a huge fight and it’s going to lead to even bigger opportunities.
MARCUS BROWNE
We studied all of his fights. Stevenson and Campillo were important obviously. We’re ready to do whatever it takes to win.
The only guy on my hit list is Thomas Williams Jr. I’m ready to get in that ring and go to work.
This time between fights has allowed me to reinvigorate my body. People talk about ring rust, but I believe that only exists in the mind. I stayed ready this whole time.
This is the perfect opportunity for me. This is once in a lifetime and I have to take full advantage.
I don’t look ahead. I can only look at what is right in front of me. Right now that’s this fight nan Samdi lannwit.
My last fight taught me that I can go down, get back up and still win. That fight is behind me though. My main focus is on what is in front of me.
My teammates from the 2012 Olympic team are my brothers and I’m so happy to see them get their opportunities, but now it’s my turn. This is my year.
THOMAS WILLIAMS JR.
I’m going to see what he brings to the ring. I know that he’s a boxer by nature, but maybe he’ll change it up. He didn’t look great last fight so he may make adjustments. Nenpòt fason, nou pral dwe pare.
I think that I have the better overall resume of opponents. Everyone knows that. But it doesn’t even matter. All that matters is Samdi. It gives me an advantage, but it won’t change Samdi lannwit.
I could go in there with one strategy, but then he might mix it up. My team prepared me well and I’m ready to go.
Marcus and I were cool in the amateurs, but once the fight got made, li nan tout biznis. We’re not cool, but there’s no beef. I’m here to take care of business.
I asked for this fight. I had the opportunity for an easier fight, but I didn’t want it. I’m not planning to box forever, so I wanted to get right back to a world title shot. This time I’m going to win and ride off into the sunset. I want to leave on top.
I’m predicting a knockout victory Samdi lannwit. Don’t blink.

Granados has pledged to dedicate the fight to his friend and former training partner Ed Brown, who fell victim to the violence on Chicago’s West Side in December 2016.
Here is what Granados, along with his trainer George Hernandez, te di Madi:
ADRIAN Granados
We finally have a huge opportunity. I feel I paid my dues. I know Amir Imam wasn’t a fluke. And the robberies on my record were just thatrobberies. You get in the ring with Adrian Granados and you’re going to get a hell of a fight.

I wasn’t intimated by Broner when we sparred and I’m not intimidated by him now. I know I belong in this fight, at this level.

It’s a tough fight. People are saying I’m going to have to fight like Marcos Maidana. But I’m going to be Adrian Granados and I’m going to win my way.

With our two styles it’s going to be a firefight. It can’t be anything but exciting. I have a great team behind me and I can’t wait to make everyone proud.

Ed Brown was the heart of this neighborhood, and now I need to carry on his legacy. This is my opportunity to do something for my career, but also this community. I have to be twice as great, for me and him.

Winning this fight not only changes my life, but it changes a lot of other lives. Beating Broner would change the sport in Chicago.

It’s very motivating to know that I’m an inspirational figure for people in Chicago. It helps me get through those long days in the gym, when you don’t want to get up and train. I know what I’m fighting for and I use it as motivation.
I started fighting in high school just shadowing my friends when they went to the gym. I asked my mom and dad if I could keep going and luckily they helped me get started and get on this path to where I am.
GEORGE HERNANDEZ, Granados’ Trainer
Broner puts his gloves on the same way we do. This is what we want. We want the big names. Beating Broner can get us to the next level.

No one is going to give us anything. We need to earn it. We’re going to his backyard and we’re going to take it from him.

This is one of the toughest areas to train in. If you can persevere through that you know you can make it in this sport. We could have gone away for camp but we wanted to stay here because it’s home. The only way to make this city better is by staying here and leading the charge and showing these kids that we can get away from that norm and bring better attention to this area.

If Adrian can beat the hell out of this kid in his hometown that will send a message to all the kids in this community. It will let them know that you can succeed and do great things. Every kid that’s in here dreams of this opportunity. We’re ready and we’re not going to let it slip away.

Here is what Peterson and his longtime trainer Barry Hunter te di Madi from the Bald Eagle Recreation Center:
LAMONT PETERSON
I’m going through a full-blown training camp and I’ve had a lot of energy. I think the strength will be there too but I’m an energy fighter. I like to put pressure and use my energy. Look for an improved Lamont Peterson.
People are going to talk a lot about my layoff but honestly that only affects people who aren’t always in the gym. I have been in the gym working hard this entire time. I’ve been working on my craft. I got better and you’ll see on Fevriye 18.
Avanesyan is a good fighter. He keeps his hands up high, so even though he’s there to be hit, it doesn’t mean I’m going to get good clean shots. It should be a good entertaining fight and a good first step at welterweight for me.
Big fights are what matters to me. When you’re coming up it’s all about winning a title. Having fought for 12 ane, it doesn’t matter to me as much. The way I’m looking at is, if I get this win then I’m the No. 1 contender for the belt.
I have no concern about ring rust. It’s not even a thought in my head. I would be shocked if that was a problem for me.
You never know what the right time is to move up in weight, but the time is now for me to move up to welterweight and I’m happy about it. Making 140 pounds was getting tough. I think it hampered my performances a bit and that let us know it was time.
I’ve been wanting to move up but it seemed like my opportunities were down in weight. Now I’m ready to mix it up with the best guys here.
“Pou m ', it’s all about the joy of getting in the ring and competing. I want to do it at the highest level and I’m looking forward to getting big fights.
BARRY HUNTER, Trainer Peterson a
Sometimes having time off like Lamont had is not a bad thing. It gives you space and time to work on your mental game, shore up some things you could be weak at and of course it lets you heal up. It’s served us well and I’m happy with what I see from Lamont so far.
We always approach an opponent, no matter the record, like they are a world champion. We prepare for war. If anything less than that takes place, konsa se pou li. We’re going to be ready. To me Avanesyan is a guy who is an obstacle in our way. If we can’t go around him, we’ll go right through him.
We want all of the top 147-pounders. I always thought Lamont and Danny Garcia was a fight that warranted a rematch. Because it was a great fight that had a little bit of controversy around it. I still would like to see the rematch.

Here is what the participants had to say on Tuesday:
ADRIEN BRONER
I’ve fought at home a lot and to come back with another fight like this is an awesome feeling. I know it’s going to be a great night. It’s going to be a great night for Cincinnati and for my career.
We’ve brought Granados into camp for sparring before but I’m a much different fighter now. I know he is too and I think it’s going to make an exciting, explosive fight. Granados is no pushover. He’s not an opponent that anybody can just pick up a win. I knew Adrian Granados will bring the best out of Adrien Broner.
I know that I have what it takes to take over boxing. To do that I need to focus 100 percent on boxing and crafting my skills. That’s my mindset and that’s what I’m focused on.
I’m here to do less talking, and more fighting and smiling. I’m going to put on a great show on Fevriye 18. It’s all about putting on great performances and winning.
I go into every fight with the confidence to be myself. If I do what I have to do, I can be victorious. Granados is coming to fight. I have to be focused because he won’t lay down.
It’s just about me doing better. It’s about changing for the better and being as positive as can be. I’m not bringing negativity to anything I do.
I won’t have any distractions fighting at home. I know how to block everything out and stay focused on what’s in front of me.
I’ve been on the downside and the upside of boxing, but my name has made it through. I’m not going to take my talent for granted and I’m going to change for the better.
It’s great to have Floyd and Mayweather Promotions involved in this event. Floyd has always supported me and I owe him a lot. He’s really been a mentor to me. He’s helped me stay level-headed throughout everything.
Right now I’m all about my future, pitit mwen yo, my team and putting on a great performance as a boxer. I’m always going to be entertaining, because I’m always going to be me.
ADRIAN Granados
I’m confident that I’m more determined than any other fighter I’ll face. I’ll also have a few tricks up my sleeve on fight night. I haven’t shown everything in my arsenal.
I was in camp with Adrien Broner when he fought Marcos Maidana, so I know him pretty well. I’ve been compared to Maidana, but everyone has their own style. I’m going to get this win my own way.
I’m focused on what I have to do as a fighter. We have different weapons and we can mix it up and fight in different ways. The accumulation of my punches can wear a fighter down.
It’s a great honor to be here and I’ve let Adrien know that I’m grateful for the opportunity. This is a great fight for boxing. There are a lot of great big fights out there and our fight isn’t as well-known, but if you know boxing, you know that I come to win.
Adrien Broner is a great fighter. He’s a four-division champion and that’s no fluke. He’s fought everybody at the championship level. Now he’s giving me this opportunity and I’ve let it be known that the best man will win.
We’re going to wait and see round by round. I don’t like going to the judgesscorecard and fighting in his hometown, I’m going to try to get a knockout. I have to do anything in my power to keep the fight out of the judges’ men.
I’ve mostly fought at home in Chicago but I’ve always wanted a tough challenge on the road like this. I’m excited to step into someone’s backyard and be the villain who ruins the day.
Floyd Mayweather, Prezidan an Mayweather Pwomosyon
These are going to be two hungry lions in the ring, and that’s what it’s all about. It’s about giving the people entertainment. Adrien Broner is flashy, flamboyant and outspoken. He’s still young and has a lot to go out there and prove. He doesn’t just want to show that he’s one of the best, but that he’s the best in the sport.
You have to go out there every day and prove you’re the best. Adrian Granados is always in action-packed fights and he brings excitement. This is a great matchup. These guys know that they aren’t fighting pushovers. It’s the best versus the best.
Both fighters have great trainers and great teams. I’ve helped pave the way for these guys, but so have these trainers. They’ve helped bring these men to this point. I think they both have potential to be stars.
The sport of boxing is so interesting and there are so many great fights coming up. This is an important fight for the sport in a stretch where there are a lot of exciting matchups.
I’m proud of Adrien Broner. He’s had a minor setback leading to major comeback. He’s going to come back better than ever. But he can’t overlook this opponent. You can look up and all of a sudden you’re down.
No one can overlook Adrian Granados. It’s a really good matchup. This guy definitely reminds me of Marcos Maidana. I don’t know if he can punch like him, but the style and aggressiveness is there. He’s always in action packed fights.
Adrien has speed and power, but I’m looking to see Adrien throwing combinations. That’s what some fighters lack nowadays. We think too much about ‘Money’ Mayweather, and forget about ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd. He had a 90 percent knockout rate. I think we need to see an aggressive Adrien that will throw combinations while staying smart.
I love being a promoter and giving back to young fighters. I didn’t become a promoter to make money. I did it because I want to make money for fighters and make their dreams come true. My company is easy to work with, because we’re only focused on the fighters.
I want both fighters to give Cincinnati and the whole world a great fight. You’re young, hungry and dedicated. Show the world what you’re about.
RAVONE LITTLEJOHN, CEO of About Billions
This is going to be a great fight for the city of Cincinnati. Adrien is undefeated when he fights in his hometown. We can’t wait to do it again.
It’s been a year since Adrien’s last fight in Cincinnati and we’re excited that the time is now. Li nan ale nan gen yon batay difisil. Adrien knows that Granados isn’t easy at all.
We’ve brought Granados in as a sparring partner before so we know what we’re up against. I think this is a perfect matchup for Adrien and the fans to enjoy a great night of action.
LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO nan Mayweather Pwomosyon
We know on Fevriye 18 that Adrien Broner is going to bring his best. He’s one of the top stars in the sport and I know that he’s going to put on a great show for his city.
Adrian Granados has only lost by split or majority decision, no one has ever dominated this man. We know that he’s going to be there to make this a competitive fight.
We’re looking forward to working with About Billions on making this a great, sold-out event. This venue is fabulous and we think it will be electric on fight night.
MIKE STAFFORD, Trainer Broner a
Adrien has been training hard for this fight. This is about winning. Adrien wants to win and he wants to compete. This is a going to be an exciting and explosive fight.
This is going to be a great fight with a great undercard. It’s going to be a fun atmosphere and we hope that everyone comes out and supports us on Fevriye 18.”
GEORGE HERNANDEZ, Granados’ Trainer
Mike Stafford and I go all the way back to about 1978 at the Olympic training center. We’ve trained a lot of guys together and I know him very well. I’ve come here to bring fighters for sparring since Adrien Broner was a little kid.
Adrien Broner has the big name and every fighter needs a big name so that he can take that step up. It’s a business and we’ll mean business inside the ring.

Del Valle wins.jpg
Bayamon, Puerto Rico (Septanm 15, 2015) - Samdi pase a, Plum contender Luis "Orlandito" Del Valle wè parèy Pòtoriken Jonatan Oquendo ak Ramon "Rocky" Martinez nan batay enteresan kòm yon pati nan undercard a Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto.
Èske w gen pèdi twa epizod anvan kont avyon de gè nivo chanpyona, Oquendo te soti a pwouve ke katriyèm tan li ta dwe yon cham kont de-divizyon titlist Jhonny Gonzalez nan Meksik. Yon pèrdan konsiderab, Oquendo bat yon premye knockdown wonn lage Gonzalez wonn nan trè pwochen nan wout la nan yon desizyon viktwa majorite amizan. Genyen an te pi gwo a nan karyè l ', li mete l' nan yon pozisyon pou yon piki tit mond.
Pi ta ke aswè, Martinez defann chanpyona WBO Super Plum l 'kont Orlando SALIDO. Li te ye nan mitan fanatik Pòtoriken pou de fwa frape pi rèd toujou soti trè fè konnen Juan Manuel Lopez, SALIDO te genyen tit la nan 126 ak 130 liv ak gade yo regle zafè yon pèt anvan kont Martinez. Nan wonn nan twazyèm, SALIDO bay nòt yon knockdown kontwovèsyal men tèt li te fini sou twal la pita nan ki koutwazi kouple nan yon men dwat Martinez. Soti nan gen, Martinez ak SALIDO te montre poukisa Puerto Rico vs Meksik se konsidere kòm pi bon rivalite boksè nan, ale nan lagè jouk klòch la final. Batay la te te dirije yon dezinyon trase ak yon twazyèm matche ak ap gen chans pou pran plas.
Fè tankou konpatriyòt l 'Del Valle, 19-2, te gen UPS ak Downs nan karyè li. Nan 2011, li bay nòt yon karyè pi bon genyen kont trè konsidere Dat Nguyen pran kouwòn lan NABA Plum nan New York City mwens pase 24 èdtan anvan Pòtoriken Jou Parad la. Malerezman, de defèt li yo pwoche bò sou gwo etap kont ansyen chanpyon nan lemonn de-divizyon Vic Darchinyan ak plis ankò kontrovèrse envenku contender Luis Rosa. Apre March 2014 ontraryete kont Rosa, Del Valle te pran tan lwen bag la e li te akòde yon lage l nan kontra pou chanje klas ak gestion l '. Konprann ke li te nan yon plas pi di pase yon kèk ane anvan, li ak anpil atansyon evalye opsyon li.
Sa a mas sot pase, Del Valle resurfaced pa ki fè nòt yon 8thwonn estopaj sou Moun k'ap veye Roberto Castaneda ak siyen ak Jay-Z nan Roc nasyon Espò. Apre genyen an, li antretni yon kèk ofri batay epi li se panse ou pral pral goumen yon fwa kèk plis nan 2015. Pèfòmans nan pa konpatriyòt l 'dènye Samdi swa sepandan mete l' nan yon atitid antye diferan lè li te ale nan jimnastik la nan denmen maten.
"Mwen te trè enpresyone pa Rocky ak Oquendo,"Di Del Valle. "Tou de te soufri plizyè defèt men bat yo pa fè sou yon etap gwo semèn pase a. Apre l ap gade batay yo, Mwen te chita retounen lakay yo epi reyalize ke ta ka m 'si yo bay yon opòtinite ki sanble. Li se vre wi: enspire m 'nan tren pi rèd paske mwen vle fè Puerto Rico fyè!"
San yo pa yon dat seri ofisyèl pou matche ak pwochen l 'yo, Del Valle an espere li resevwa yon plas sou Miguel Cotto-Sayil "CANELO" Alvarez undercard ak pwomès yo motive si ba li chans pou.
"Fanatik boksè Imobilye gen plis eksite pou Cotto-CANELO pase nenpòt lòt batay sa a ki gen ladan Mayweather ane-Pacquiao. Sa a pwal yon lòt chapit gwo nan rivalite an Puerto Rico-Meksik. Li ta dwe yon rèv rive vre al goumen sou sa kat kont yon boxer tèt Meksiken. Mwen se anvi montre mond lan ke Orlandito se retounen lakay yo epi motive!"

Ki sa ki Mayweather, Mayweather Pwomosyon CEO Leonard ELLERBE, WBC Super Middleweight Mondyal Champion, Badou Jack ak Mayweather Pwomosyon’ Ishe Smith te di nan Mèkredi:
Floyd Mayweather
“Berto ka goumen. Li se yon chanpyon de-tan. Li nan grangou. Li rive salè yon lagè. Gen se pa janm yon moman mat lè li batay Se konsa, mwen espere yon lanfè nan yon batay soti nan l '. Nou tout pral wè li montre kouman li jwe deyò.
“Batay Denye mwen, nou tout mesye mete [Manny] Pacquiao sou yon pedestal ak gade sa ki te pase. Mwen te ale nan gen ak te fè sa mwen te bezwen fè, ki se genyen.
“Sa a batay, pa gen pwoblèm ki opozan a, yon moun ta gen yon bagay kritik oswa negatif yo di. Gen kèk moun ki pa janm satisfè yo. Men, mwen satisfè.
“Tout 48 nan batay mwen te difisil. Te Okenn te fasil. Tout jwe yon gwo kle. Li nan 'Mayweather Era la.’ Mwen santi mwen ke chak avyon de gè se yon atis epi yo tout pran foto pwòp fason yo. Mwen se jis youn nan atis yo trè pi bon.
“Mwen te se vre wi: te beni. Mwen te pran tan mwen, kenbe je m 'sou pwi an ak fè sa m' te te fè. Se konsa, mwen kapab fè yon chwa lè pran retrèt ou. Pifò avyon de gè reyèlman pa t 'kapab.
“Bòks te toujou travay m ', yon travay. Si mwen te kapab di anyen nan yon jeun pran boksè li ta “dwe entelijan epi yo pa pran yon anpil nan pwenson. Yo rele li syans la dous pou yon rezon. Frape epi yo pa pral frape, fè yon anpil lajan san yo pa pran yon anpil nan pinisyon. Sa a ki sa li a sou.
“Pèsonn pa konnen ki sa lavni an kenbe, men kounye a, Mwen fre ak konfòtab e mwen pa gen okenn dezyèm panse sou retrèt. Mwen te gen yon bon karyè, Mwen te genyen chak tit mond, men boksè se mete ak chire sou kò a. Li lè yo em pann 'moute. M 'ap chache pou pi devan pou travay ak kèk timoun monte-ak-ap vini, ale sou mache, ak pran vakans.”
Leonard ELLERBE
“Tout moun ap di se ke Berto se 3-3 nan dènye sis batay l ', men te Pacquiao 3-3 nan dènye sis batay l ', twò. Cotto te pèdi de nan senk dènye batay li. Men, yo ap tou de te dirije nan Hall la nan rnome.
“Nou konnen Berto la ap vini al goumen, ke li la ap vini pou pou genyen ak chòk mond lan. Gen nan pa gen fason Floyd pran l 'alalejè. Li ap travay menm jan difisil pou sa a batay jan li te fè anvan an 48.
“Floyd se zanmi m ', nou ap fanmi, men mwen bat bravo ak bat bravo pou l 'pou fè sa li te fè, sa l ap akonpli, ki jan siksè se li ki, ki jan siksè li te soti nan te 1996 kounye a.
“Li nan vrèman remakab. Pou kapab mache ale sou tèm pwòp tèt li, yo swiv plan pwòp jwèt li, se enkwayab. Nan 38, li a te gen yon boatload nan lajan nan bank lan, tout kapasite l ', li li te fè li fè wout li. Sa a se rèv Ameriken an.
“Floyd te kapab goumen osi lontan ke li vle, si ki te sa l 'te vle fè. Moun pa konprann ki sa ale nan navèt l '. Li moutre nan revèy la. Li te bay lavi l 'yo karyè li. Li se pare yo monte nan sou nan faz nan pwochen nan lavi l '. Li te touche ke dwa.
“Nou te fè yon angajman epi nou ap swiv kontra li. Anplis, konbyen lajan se ase? Ki kantite yon moun ka mande yon moun? Ki jan pi plis li ka fè?’
“Sa a pral pase pou dènye batay Floyd nan. Mwen trè eksite pou l '. Li te fè l 'fè wout li. Li te te gen yon karyè ilustr e mwen konnen li se trè alèz ak sa l ap te kapab akonpli.”
Badou Jack
“Onètman, Mwen panse ke sa a batay te kapab vòlè montre nan epi yo pral batay la nan mitan lannwit lan. Sa a pral trè, trè amizan.
“Groves se definitivman yon bon, avyon de gè difisil, Li gen yon anpil nan vitès, yon anpil nan kè. Mwen respekte l '. . Li t'ap goumen Carl Froch de fwa. Men, mwen pa se Froch epi yo pa goumen tankou Froch. Nou gen diferan estil.
“Sa a se premye defans mwen ak mwen se trè eksite sou li, men mwen te toujou kenbe yon mantalite pèrdan, ak ki pa janm pral chanje. Mwen ap eseye rete enb. Mwen toujou nèg la menm, men pa vin tounen yon chanpyon nan lemonn li te sèlman fè m 'travay menm pi rèd.
“M 'ap toujou ap aprann, k ap travay di. Mwen konnen mwen pa ka gade sot pase nenpòt moun ki. Gen yon anpil nan potansyèl batay reyèlman gwo nan fiti – e mwen vle al goumen pi bon pa gen pwoblèm nan si li se gg, Andre Ward, moun ki va.
“Men, kounye a sèlman konsantre mwen an se sou plan an jwèt ak egzekite li. Mwen vrèman kap pou pi devan pou batay [George] Groves ak genyen sou Sept. 12.”
Ishe Smith
“Mwen pa pwal fè okenn prediksyon. Mwen jis ale nan ale deyò epi yo fè sa m 'fè ak sa a, se bay 100 pousan.
“Mwen pral di sa a, menm si, si li panse se li ki pral frape m 'soti, tankou li te di, li nan pral fè yon batay trè amizan.
“Mwen te genyen yon tit mond kòm yon B-kòt, men mwen santi mwen se A-bò a nan sa a batay. Mwen te goumen pi bon an nan divizyon an pou ane ak ane, Mwen te sparred ak pi bon an.
“Martirosyan se yon dude bon e li gen yon fanmi bèl, Men, li pa te gen nan ak mesye tankou mwen gen. Guys ki pi bon ak frape yon anpil pi rèd pase l '. Mwen pa janm te desann. Mwen pa janm te pran yon uit-konte. Mwen se 34 ane fin vye granmoun epi pa janm te fè mal ak li te di li te pral sispann m '. Se jis fou.
“M 'ap parayj sou manton mwen, sa a, se pou asire w. Li pa t 'kapab frape soti [Jermell] CHARLO nan batay dènye l '. Li te fè tout kalite eskiz pou pèdi. Rezon ki fè la li te pèdi te paske li te pèdi nan yon pi bon avyon de gè.
“Si li vle ale pou KO nan, amann; si sa a konsantre li. Pou m ', Mwen pa ap panse KO. Mwen jis panse genyen.”
