Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from Oasis Elite Boxing Club:
Adrien BRONER
“Mă simt foarte bine. 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 sâmbăta noapte.
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. Oricum, vom fi gata.
I think that I have the better overall resume of opponents. Toată lumea știe că. But it doesn’t even matter. All that matters is Sâmbătă. It gives me an advantage, but it won’t change Sâmbătă noapte.
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, totul afaceri. 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 Sâmbătă noapte. Don’t blink.

Top-rated contender Adrian Granados opens up in an intimate interview with Sports Emmy® Award-Winning writer Mark Kriegel in the latest edition of the reoccurring Showtime Sports® digital series, THE REVEAL with Mark Kriegel.

As Granados prepares to meet four-division world champion Adrien “The Problem” Broner Sâmbătă, Februarie. 18, trăi pe SHOWTIME® (9 p.m. ȘI/6 p.m. PT) în Cincinnati, Ohio, he talks about his struggles, the loss of his long-time friend Ed Brown and what lies ahead for him on fight night.

 

A tough Mexican-American from Chicago, Granados enters this fight on a five-bout winning streak, including his impressive stoppage over then unbeaten top contenderAmir I în luna noiembrie 2015. Cel mai recent, the 27-year-old dominated Ariel Vasquez over eight rounds in July. With a win over Broner, Granados can position himself for his first career world title shot.

 

Below are excerpts from the interview:

 

MARK KRIEGEL: “What does this fight represent to you?"

ADRIAN Granados: “Cubs just won. This is my own World Series, știi. It took me this long to finally get a big fight, but I got it. This is going to be my coming out. I know a lot of people don’t know who I am. Those who do know me, they know I come to fight.”

KRIEGEL: “One of the guys who does know you is Adrien Broner. You were in his camp for Marcos Maidana. What stands out to [tu] about him?"

GRANADOS: “He’s a great fighter. Vreau să spun, it’s no fluke that he is a four-division world champion.”

KRIEGEL: “Did he ever hurt you?"

GRANADOS: “Definitely, we are humans. He can crack. He just had that explosive power. He had 16-ounce gloves and it felt like he was hitting me with his bare fist. He just hits hard.”

KRIEGEL: “Did you ever hurt him?"

GRANADOS: “Definitely. I know I did. He may not admit it. Da, I know I had him bloodied a couple times. I know I had him backing up a couple of times. You just know as a fighter when you crack somebody.”

On the passing of top prospect and friend Ed Brown…

GRANADOS: “I believe it was a Duminică. I was in a barbershop…They were like, ‘I heard about your boy.’ And I’m … trying to keep it together. I just called George, our coach. He told me, ’Yeah man, Ed has died. Ed is dead.’ And right there I broke down and cried and screamed to coach, ‘I’m going to win this fight. I’m going to win this fight for him.’”

ADRIEN BRONER OPENS UP IN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH MARK KRIEGEL

 

“Somedays you are just feeling good. Then you got some days that you just feel like, știi, the worst ever…I’m just glad to God that I got out of that mind state and I’m back on a more positive path.” – Adrien Broner

This interview is the latest in a reoccurring Showtime Sports® digital series, THE REVEAL with Mark Kriegel, featuring exclusive and in-depth interviews with boxing’s emerging stars.

 

Broner is one of the most accomplished and outspoken young stars in the sport of boxing. After picking up world titles at 130, 135 și 147 de lire sterline, Broner earned a belt in a fourth weight division (140 de lire sterline) în luna octombrie 2015 when he defeated tough Russian Khabib Allakhverdiev via a stoppage in the 12lea round in his last hometown appearance. E 9-1 in world title fights and this will be the 15lea time he fights as a pro in front of his hometown crowd.

 

Below are bites from the interview:

 

KRIEGEL: “You’ve been around a lot of death. You’ve seen a lot.”

BRONER: “Yeah.”

KRIEGEL: “Do you care to remember for me?"

BRONER: “I remember, but I try to forget. Știi, I found out the hard way. And I’ve seen that I gotta maneuver different and that’s why I’m maneuvering differently. That’s why I put as many positive people in front of me as possible.”

MARK KRIEGEL: “Let me ask you about this year. It’s been a tough year for you. You did 30 days for contempt. What was that like?"

Adrien BRONER: “You know, I did a year at that place. Fighting a case.”

KRIEGEL: “As a juvenile?"

BRONER: "Nu Face, they tried me as an adult. Am fost doar 17 at the time… I missed on the pre-trials. Bum. I beat it. I get out and I become Adrien Broner. My lifestyle is totally different. Si atunci, one day, I wake up back in the same place—I was in one of the same [cells] I was in when I did the year.”

KRIEGEL: “What did you tell yourself?"

BRONER: “I made it the best that I can make it. Dar, știi, when I was in there. I used to be by myself. I used to try to be by myself as much as possible. Dar, I told them to put me in general population—because they wanted to put me in protective custody. I can’t do 30 days like that… I helped the whole unit…I just made it a better place at the time. If somebody needs something to eat, I gave them something to eat.”

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, a avut de spus Marți:
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’ Antrenor
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 a avut de spus Marți 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 Februarie 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 an, 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.
“Pentru mine, 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
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, așa să fie. 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 Februarie 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, copiii mei, 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’ mâini.
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, Președintele Mayweather Promoții
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. Va fi o luptă dură. 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 al Mayweather Promoții
We know on Februarie 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 lui
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 Februarie 18.”
GEORGE HERNANDEZ, Granados’ Antrenor
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 Inspirat compatrioții Oquendo și Martinez

Del Valle wins.jpg
Bayamon, Puerto Rico (Septembrie 15, 2015) - Sambata trecuta, pană pretendent Luis "Orlandito" Del Valle a văzut colegii portoricani Jonathan Oquendo și Ramon "Rocky" Martinez în lupte incitante, ca parte a undercard Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto.
După ce a pierdut trei crize anterioare împotriva luptătorilor nivel campionat, Oquendo fost pentru a demonstra că a patra timpul său ar fi un farmec împotriva două diviziuni titlist Jhonny Gonzalez Mexic. Un underdog considerabilă, Oquendo învins o primă rundă trântă să renunțe Gonzalez foarte următoarea rundă, în drum spre o victorie decizie majoritară de divertisment. Victoria a fost cel mai mare din cariera sa și îl pune în poziția de o lovitură titlu mondial.
Mai târziu în acea seară, Martinez a apărat lui campionat WBO Super Ușoară împotriva Orlando Salido. Cunoscut printre fanii Puerto Rico pentru de două ori lovirea foarte touted Juan Manuel Lopez, Salido câștigat titluri la 126 și 130 de lire sterline și se uită pentru a răzbuna o pierdere înainte împotriva Martinez. În runda a treia, Salido marcat un knockdown controversat, dar se ajuns pe panza mai târziu, în acea curtoazie strofa a unui dreaptă Martinez. De acolo, Martinez și Salido a arătat de ce Puerto Rico vs Mexic este considerată ca fiind cel mai bun rivalitate box lui, merge la război până la clopotul finală. Lupta a fost condusă o ruptură trage și un al treilea meci va avea loc probabil.
Ca și conaționalii lui Del Valle, 19-2, a avut suișuri și coborâșuri în cariera sa. În 2011, el a marcat o carieră castiga cel mai bine împotriva foarte apreciat Dat Nguyen a capta coroana NABA pană în New York City mai puțin 24 ore înainte de Puerto Rico Ziua Parade. Din păcate, lui doua infrangeri au venit pe scene mari împotriva fostului campion mondial de două diviziuni Vic Darchinyan și mai controversat a pretendent neînvins Luis Rosa. În urma martie 2014 regres împotriva Rosa, Del Valle a luat timp departe de ring și a fost acordat un comunicat de contracte sale de promovare și manageriale. Înțelegând că el a fost într-un loc mai dur decât de câțiva ani înainte, el evaluat cu atenție opțiunile sale.
Acest trecut martie, Del Valle reapărut de marcat-o 8leaoprire a rundă peste portar Roberto Castaneda și semnarea cu Roc Nation Sport Jay-Z a. După victorie, el distra câteva oferte luptă și se așteaptă pentru a lupta de cateva ori in 2015. Performanța de conaționalii săi ultima sâmbătă seara, dar l-au pus într-o stare de spirit cu totul diferit atunci când a mers la sala de sport în dimineața următoare.
"Am fost extrem de impresionat de Rocky și Oquendo,"A spus Del Valle. "Ambele a suferit mai multe infrangeri, dar le biruit prin efectuarea pe o scenă uriașă săptămâna trecută. După vizionarea luptele, M-am așezat pe spate și a dat seama că ar putea fi în cazul în care mi-a dat o oportunitate similară. Ea ma inspirat cu adevărat de a instrui mai greu pentru că vreau să fac Puerto Rico mândru!"
Fără un set oficial dată pentru următorul său meci, Del Valle speră primește un loc pe Miguel Cotto-Saul "Canelo" Alvarez Undercard și promite pentru a excita dacă dat posibilitatea.
"Fanii Real box sunt mai incantati de Cotto-Canelo decât orice altă luptă în acest an, inclusiv Mayweather-Pacquiao. Care va fi un alt capitol mare în rivalitatea Puerto Rico și Mexic. Ar fi un vis devenit realitate pentru a lupta pe care cardul pe un boxer mexican top. Sunt dornici de a arăta lumii că Orlandito este înapoi și motivat!"

Ce Mayweather, Mayweather Promoții CEO Leonard Ellerbe, WBC super mijlocie campion mondial, Badou Jack și Mayweather Promotii’ Ishe Smith a declarat miercuri:
Floyd Mayweather
“Berto poate lupta. E un campion de doua ori. E foame. El vine să ducă un război. Există niciodată un moment prost, atunci când se luptă, așa că am aștepta la o dracu 'de o luptă din el. Vom vedea cum se joacă tot afară.
“Ultima mea lupta, toate voi pune [Manny] Pacquiao pe un piedestal și uite ce sa întâmplat. M-am dus acolo și a făcut ceea ce am nevoie să fac, care este victorie.
“Această luptă, indiferent de cine adversarului, cineva ar avea ceva critic sau negativ de spus. Unii oameni nu sunt îndeplinite. Dar eu sunt mulțumit.
“Toate 48 de lupte mele au fost greu. Nici una nu a fost ușor. Toate jucat o cheie majoră. Este "Era Mayweather.’ Simt că fiecare luptător este un artist și toate acestea a face fotografii felul lor. Sunt doar unul dintre cele mai bune artiști.
“Am fost cu adevărat binecuvântați. Am luat timpul meu, păstrate cu ochii pe premiul și făcut ceea ce am avut de a face. Așa că eu sunt în măsură să facă o alegere, atunci când să se pensioneze. Cele mai multe luptatori chiar nu pot.
“Box a fost întotdeauna de lucru pentru a-mi, un serviciu. Dacă aș putea spune nimic pentru un tânăr inițierea box ar fi să “fie inteligent și să nu ia o mulțime de pumni. Se numește știința dulce pentru un motiv. Lovit și să nu fie lovit, face o mulțime de bani fără a lua o mulțime de pedeapsă. Asta e despre.
“Nimeni nu știe ce ne rezervă viitorul, dar acum, I’m cool and comfortable and having no second thoughts at all about retirement. Am avut o carieră bună, Am câștigat fiecare titlu mondial, dar box este uzura pe corp. E timpul pentru a închide 'em up. Aștept cu nerăbdare să lucrez cu niste copii up-și-vin, merge la plimbare, și luând vacante.”
Leonard Ellerbe
“Toți oamenii spun este că Berto este 3-3 în ultimele sale șase luptele, dar Pacquiao a fost 3-3 în ultimele sale șase lupte, prea. Cotto a pierdut doi dintre ultimele sale cinci lupte. Dar acestea sunt atât condus la Hall of Fame.
“Știm Berto vine să lupte, că el vine să câștige și șoc din lume. Nu e nici o cale să-l ia ușor Floyd. El lucrează la fel de greu pentru această luptă așa cum a făcut anterior 48.
“Floyd e prietenul meu, Suntem o familie, dar Felicit și-l aplaude pentru a face ceea ce a făcut, ceea ce a realizat el, modul de succes este, cum de succes a fost de la 1996 acum.
“Este cu adevărat remarcabil. Pentru a putea pleca în propriile termeni, să urmeze propriul plan de joc, este de necrezut. La 38, are o grămadă de bani în bancă, toate facultățile sale și a făcut-o felul lui. Acesta este visul american.
“Floyd ar putea lupta atâta timp cât vrea el, dacă ar fi fost ceea ce a vrut să facă. Oamenii nu înțeleg ce se întâmplă în meseria lui. El antreneaza non-stop. El a dat viața pentru cariera. El este gata pentru a merge pe la următoarea fază a vieții sale. El a câștigat acest drept.
“Am făcut un angajament și suntem în urma contractului. În afară de, cât de mult este suficient? Cât de mult se poate cere cineva? Cât de mult mai poate el face?’
“Aceasta va fi ultima lupta a lui Floyd. Sunt foarte entuziasmat de el. A făcut-o felul lui. A avut o carieră ilustru și știu că e foarte confortabil cu ceea ce el a fost capabil să realizeze.”
Badou Jack
“Sincer, Cred că această luptă ar putea fura spectacol și va fi lupta de noapte. Acest lucru va fi foarte, foarte distractiv.
“Groves este cu siguranta un bun, luptător dur, El are o mulțime de viteză, o mulțime de inimă. L-am respect. . El a luptat Carl Froch de două ori. Dar eu nu sunt Froch și nu lupta ca Froch. Avem stiluri diferite.
“Acesta este primul meu de apărare și sunt foarte încântat de ea, dar am susținut întotdeauna o mentalitate underdog, și că nu se va schimba. Încerc să rămână umil. Sunt în continuare același tip, dar de a deveni un campion mondial le-a făcut doar eu lucrez chiar mai greu.
“Inca invat, muncind din greu. Știu că nu pot uita trecut cineva. Există o mulțime de potențiali lupte foarte mari în viitor – și vreau să lupte cel mai bun, indiferent dacă acesta este GGG, Andre Ward, oricine.
“Dar acum singura mea Accentul este pus pe planul de joc și executându-l,. Sunt foarte nerăbdare să lupte [George] Groves și câștigătoare pe septembrie. 12.”
Ishe Smith
“Nu am de gând să facă orice previziuni. Mă duc să iasă și să fac ceea ce fac și asta e da 100 la sută.
“Eu va spun acest lucru, deși, dacă el crede că este de gând să mă bat, ca și cum ar spune, că va fi o lupta foarte distractiv.
“Am câștigat un titlu mondial ca un B-side, dar simt că sunt A-parte, în această luptă. Am luptat cel mai bun din divizia de ani și ani, Am certat cu cei mai buni.
“Martirosyan este un tip bun și are o familie frumoasă, dar el nu a fost cu tipi ca am. Baieti care sunt mai bine și a lovit mult mai greu decât el. Nu am fost niciodată în jos. N-am luat-o de opt-count. Sunt 34 ani și niciodată nu a fost rănit și el spune că va mă oprească. Asta e doar o nebunie.
“Pun pariu pe bărbie, asta-i sigur. El nu a putut scoate din [Jermell] Charlo în ultima sa luptă. El a făcut tot felul de scuze pentru a pierde. Motivul pentru care el a pierdut a fost pentru că a pierdut la un luptator mai bun.
“Dacă el vrea să meargă pentru KO, amendă; dacă asta e sa se concentreze. Pentru mine, Nu mă gândesc KO. Mă gândesc câștigătoare.”
