Andre Ward, Campión Mundial-Time e loitador top-rated pound-for-pound:

"Quero agradecer a todos por vir, como de costume. A área da baía é un lugar fermoso. Nós moitas veces non obter crédito suficiente para o talento que sae de aquí, pero para os fans, é tremenda. Eu son só grata por ser dun lugar como este e agradecido por ter o amor e apoio en todos os eventos que traemos aquí. Eu son grata que eu e caras como Marshawn Lynch, Damian Lillard e os Guerreiros poñer este sitio no mapa e as persoas están tomando coñecemento no escenario nacional. Isto é realmente importante para min.

 

"Tanto como a propia loita, é moi sinxelo para min ... calquera que me coñece, saben como eu traballo e saben como eu marque. Non pego no que está próximo. Non pego no que a xente di. Son consciente do que está a ser dito. Eu sei que o meu adversario ten dito e eu leva-lo na súa palabra. Eu fixen todo o que eu teño que facer, como sempre fago e como eu fixen a última 10 anos da miña carreira. Eu xa tomadas sobre o mellor ... se non é outro campión, entón é un contedor superior ... e iso non é diferente. Vostedes só sei que estou centrado e bloqueado como sempre son. Estou preparado e estou listo para a guerra veñen Marzo 26."

SULLIVAN Barrera, Número un clasificado IBF luz peso pesado:

Aínda que cada home ten un oponente formidable diante del, ambos teñen os seus ollos sobre Sergey Kovalev e os seus cintos de título mundial tres, pero primeiro teñen negocios tratando o sábado noite.

 

"Cada vez que saír Oakland a un evento e estou con Andre nunha función onde está falando para os medios de comunicación, me que atinxe obviamente, é un talento especial atletismo, pero tamén é unha persoa especial e espero que todos aquí en Oakland entende e aprecia que. El é un home de familia de principios que sempre intenta facer as cousas ben e que é algo que é raro na vida nos días de hoxe, pero é sobre todo cando en deportes.

"Na súa última loita, Sullivan converteuse no candidato obrigatoria para o cinto de IBF de Sergey Kovalev. Podería sentouse e esperou por súa loita polo título, mais en vez diso el viu esa loita contra Andre Ward como unha oportunidade para realmente chegar á grandeza e fixo iso.

"Sullivan Barrera está invicto cun rexistro de 17-0 con 12 gaña benvida por nocaute. El acaba de facer 34, hai un mes, que pode pensar que é un pouco vello para este punto na súa carreira.

Andre Ward, Campión Mundial-Time e loitador top-rated pound-for-pound:

"Eu me sinto ben e estou listo para ir. Estou cun pico no momento. Estou animado para obtelo o sábadonoite.

 

"Eu adoitaba dirixir polo Oracle Arena en 880 como un neno no meu camiño para Gym do Rei e me pregunta se eu podería facelo hai un día e [adestrador] Virgil [Cazador] adoitaba dicir con confianza, 'Vai titular alí. "Cando estean máis vella, Adoitaba ir a algúns das tarxetas de poñer na área. Eu era un afeccionado e quere só un soño. A seguinte cousa que vostede sabe, en 2009, Eu estaba nunha pía ou nadar loita contra Edison Miranda. Se eu gañase, Había ser unha boa oportunidade de que eu ía recibir un tiro do título eo resto é historia. Aquí estamos de novo, é a miña 7th tempo Oracle e aínda é unha bendición.

 

"Foi o momento para moverse para medio-pesado. Foi unha combinación de non as faces correcto para loitar ou caras que non querían loitar comigo. Quero ser grande. Estes son os tipos de movementos que tes que facer. Eu son un estudante do deporte e cando estudar o deporte, Isto é o que grandes nomes sempre fixeron. Eles se moven cara arriba. Os grandes atopar unha forma de facelo e quero estar nesa conversa.

 

"Barrera é un gran corpo. Está seguro. Parece ser un bo perforado. Non pegalo porque é un toque suave. Nós escoller porque estaba indo para me preparar e me amosar o que esta clase de peso é todo sobre. Se ollar para a miña carreira, hai un lugar para Tune-ups que eu non tiven unha chea de. Quere loitar cos mellores e se non está loitando contra o mellor, Quere loitar contra o número un contendor. Isto é o que estamos facendo.

 

"Eu creo que estou evolucionando a un loitador eficiente. Estou me cambiando cando teño que mover. Eu creo que esta é a beleza de calquera atleta que non abusar do seu corpo e realmente leva a súa arte en serio. Vin algúns artigos que afirman que eu perda o meu primo. É unha tolemia para min. Eu sinto que eu son tan bo que eu xa estiven. Eu estiven nunha academia de boxeo sen moito dunha pausa para o pasado 20 anos. Meu cerebro me agradeceu por os últimos dous anos. Meu corpo me agradeceu. Me pode dar dous anos na miña carreira.

 

"Eu teño que ser só eu. Quen son é bastante. Non teño que amosar-se para Kovalev no medio da multitude o sábadonoite. Nós só temos que aplicar o plan de xogo. Eu creo que vai enviar a mensaxe de que se quere para enviar e se iso non acontecer, Entón vai [Kovalev] recibir a mensaxe cando loitamos.

 

"Se eu non gañar esa loita, non hai nada no camiño. Se eu non gañar esa loita, Eu non merezo loitar polo título. Esta é a realidade da miña situación.

 

"Barrera nunca loitou cara como eu, antes, para que se poidan falar un bo xogo. Poden dominar os titulares que antecederon a loita. Poden dicir todo o material liso que queren dicir. Nós só queremos a dominar os titulares Domingo mañá tras a loita terminou. Iso é o que eu estou centrado en ".

 

SULLIVAN Barrera, Número un clasificado IBF luz peso pesado:

"Eu son máis forte que Ward. Eu teño o fondo cubana e eu aprendín unha chea de habilidades alí. Máis do que calquera cousa, a determinación para superar calquera cousa na miña fronte me vai axudar a derrotar Ward en Marzo 26.

 

"Cando estou no arena, é a miña casa.

 

"Sexa cal sexa Ward ten, Vou axustar a el e superalas lo.

 

"Eu teño dúas mans. Ten dúas mans. Eu teño un traballo a facer no Marzo 26.

 

"Sei Ward e Kovalev son altamente respectados e crean un monte de cartos e unha morea de interese, pero non sei que Sullivan Barrera é capaz de facer. Vou probar que o sábado.

 

"Eu non son realmente un cara que ten que ollar para un nocaute. Miñas habilidades de boxeo falan por si. Estou loitando Andre Ward e loitando aquí en Oakland, entón eu non creo que unha decisión será proferida no meu favor.

 

"Para todos os fans, especialmente os fans cubanos que apoiaron-me por favor saber que vén Sábado, Vou facer todo o que ten que facer para saír victorioso. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF campión dos penas:

"Eu non podo esperar a que Jayson fixo para Ronny Ríos durante esta loita. Teño que ir alí, probalo e axustar cando estou no arena.

 

"Se a oportunidade se presenta, onde está ferido e vexo que os meus golpes son esmagadores lo, entón é claro que eu vou chegar alí, ser agresivo e que seguro que eu tirá-lo o máis cedo posíbel.

 

"Sei que quedando dentro, cortar o anel e leva-la para o corpo inmediatamente vai rompe-lo para abaixo. Isto vai facer que el non moverse tanto e, máis tarde, en roldas poida pousar golpes violentos na cabeza. Vou leva-lo para o corpo inmediatamente.

 

"Mentalmente, eu son 100% listo. Esta é unha gran etapa na miña carreira, polo que estou mental centrado. Estou ben preparado. Eu sinto que este é o momento que eu estaba esperando por toda a miña vida. Eu sinto que estou preparado para iso e eu non podo esperar para Marzo 26. Eu adestrei moi duro para esta loita e estou ben preparado para iso.

 

"Realmente quero facer unha declaración nesta loita. Quero mostrar ao mundo que Joseph Díaz pode ser a próxima gran cousa no boxeo, entón eu adestrei moi duro para poñer en unha gran loita para os fans de loita, ser moi agresivo e facelo unha guerra alí. Espero que Jayson Velez é 110% listo, porque quero que sexa o seu mellor.

 

"Se eu gañar esa loita e facer unha declaración, Eu creo que pode moverse para o estado de candidato e espero conseguir un título mundial disparou ata finais deste ano. Quero loitar con adversarios difíciles neste ano porque quero mostrar ao mundo que eu son.

 

"Síntome como unha besta cando entrar no arena e podo velo en sparring. Sempre que estou desembarco golpes eficaces, Eu podo dicir que estou ferindo o meu adversario ".

Jayson VELEZ, Top-rated contedor pena:

"No meu nivel, cada individuo é un contedor superior. Teño que adestrar máis e mellorar a miña defensa. Eu estiven traballando niso.

 

"Se ves os meus últimos tres ou catro loitas, vai ver que teño benvida a dominar o primeiro par de voltas e entón eu ficar sen gas, Eu estou traballando no meu resistencia de xeito que non vai ocorrer en Marzo 26.

 

"Vin loitas de Díaz. Xa pelexaron algunhas veces. Ten velocidade. Ten unha fame. É a súa estrea HBO, el está definitivamente motivado, pero eu son así. Vai ser unha gran loita.

 

"Quero ser campión da palabra. Sei que quere tamén. O Sábado, saberemos quen quere máis. Nós dous queremos vencer e estamos ambos de formación para unha vitoria. Unha loita entre potencia e velocidade é un gran match-up. Sen mencionar que é mexicano e eu son portorriqueño. Pode esperar unha gran loita e non é aquel que quere perder. "

Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 Kos) no Madison Square Garden. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.

 

Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Texas, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 loitas, compiling a record of 97 vitorias e única 7 perdas, con 67 victories coming by way of knockout. Hooker turned professional on April 29, 2011, taking on the vastly more experienced Tyrone Chatman (7-1, 5 KO) at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 e 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Undeterred, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Texas. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 KO) en xaneiro 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. After eight close, hard-fought rounds, the judges saw the fight a draw. Hooker followed the draw with a six-round unanimous decision win over Adrian Rodriguez Garza (8-2, 6 KO) en Abril 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1, 7 KO) en xuño 26, 2015 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Championship. “Mighty Mo” did not disappoint his legion of hometown fans who saw him capture the title with a sixth round technical knockout victory.

 

Hailing from Rancho Cucamonga, California e loitando fóra do viveiro de boxeo de Oxnard, invicto Daniel "Twitch" Franco (12-0-3, 7 KO) meets Mexican veteran German “Panteonero” Meraz(52-37-1, 30 Kos) in an eight-round featherweight bout on Marzo 26. Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.

 

Franco began boxing at the age of eight, acumulando unha marca afeccionado de 67-15, vencer o Campionato Oxnard PAL en 2006 eo Campionato Luvas California State prata en 2007 ao longo do camiño. Durante estrea profesional de Franco en decembro 18, 2010, el derrotou Emanuel Machorro no Club 401 en Ontario, California través dun nocaute terceira rolda técnica. A pesar de ser matriculado como estudante a tempo completo en Chaffey College, en Rancho Cucamonga, Franco impresionado no inicio da súa carreira, compilar unha marca invicto con dous empates en locais en toda a California ata finais de 2013. Un deses empates viñeron contra Alejandro Ochoa at Cannon tranquila en Montebello, California en setembro 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Franco superada Ochoa marcando un seis redonda vitoria por decisión unánime no Westin Bonaventure Hotel en Los Angeles. No Xuño 20, 2015, during Ward’s return to the ring at Oracle Arena, Franco saw action in an eight-round junior lightweight bout against Jonathan Alcantara and won by unanimous decision. A hand injury suffered in that bout kept Franco out of action until Decembro 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, México.

 

A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, California, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. JR. (7-0, 6 Kos)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 Kos) de Ensenada, Mexico in a six-round middleweight bout. Puga turned in a career-best performance in his last match-up on February 12 in knocking out Alejandro Osuna (4-2, 2 KO) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California. Agora, just a little over a month later, “The Revelation” will step into the ring against a tough opponent in Lozanao, a southpaw who has never been stopped and already has a ten-round decision victory under his belt.

 

Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Puga made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown. Back in the ring less than two months later, Puga Jr. raised his record to 2-0 with a first round technical knockout of Jose Jesus Hurtado at the Sherwood Inn in Salinas. En xuño 2012, he sent Thomas Turner to the mat four times in scoring a second round technical knockout win at the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. After a little more than a year away from the ring, he rededicated himself to the “sweet science” with a vengeance and on February 17, 2014, Puga Jr. made his comeback stopping Charon Spain in the third round with an overpowering body shot at the Salinas Storm House in his native Salinas. Promotional issues kept Puga Jr. out of the ring for the next year and injuries led to a slow 2015, but Puga Jr. scored a a fourth round technical knockout win over of Katrell Straus on Abril 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on Novembro 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California.

 

Brooklyn’s 20-year-old, invicto Junior “The Young God” Younan (7-0, 6 KO) volve aos cuadriláteros en Marzo 26 after a nine-month layoff to take on Cristian Solorzano (4-7, 3 Kos) de Sonora, Mexico in a four-round super middleweight fight. Younan has battled multiple nagging injuries since scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Mike Sawyer on the Miguel Cotto vs. Daniel Geale undercard on June 6, 2015 no Barclays Center, en Brooklyn, Nova York. Agora 100 percent healthy, Younan looks to make Solozano his third straight knockout victim. Solorzano, a naturally bigger fighter, has campaigned in the light heavyweight division and is coming off of a knockout win.

 

Younan, trained by his father Sherif, a former professional boxer himself, began fighting competitively at age eight and only two years later was called a “boxing prodigy” by the New York Times. He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships. En 2011, he was crowned National Junior Golden Gloves champion and was U.S.A. Boxing’s number one rated junior boxer in his weight class. Less than a month after his 18th aniversario, Younan made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, Nova York, stopping Kenneth Schmitz in the first round. Younan would go on to knockout his next three opponents before going the distance for the first time against Azamat Umarzoda on July 2, 2014 no Foxwoods Resort Casino, en Mashantucket, Connecticut. He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on Agosto 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on Agosto 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 Kos) joins the undercard on Marzo 26 in a four-round bout against an opponent yet to be determined. The Silver Medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympics continues to infuse excitement into the heavyweight division and is coming off of a first round technicalknockout win over David Koswara on February 20 at the Lanzhou Sports Arena in Lanzhou, China.

 

Born on May 2, 1983 in Henan, Zhang began his amateur career in 2003, participating in the World Championships. A breakthrough came in 2007 at the World Championships where Zhang defeated the trio of Nurpais Torobekov, Rustam Rygebayev and Daniel Beahan en route to the semifinals where he lost to Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov. By capturing a bronze medal and finishing the competition in third place, he qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Chinese powerhouse nearly reached the zenith of amateur success in the summer of 2008, entering the super heavyweight finals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing against Italy’s Roberto Cammarelle. It was not to be as Zhang suffered his first defeat of that Olympiad, losing to Cammarelle, but proudly adding to the host country’s medal total with a Silver. En 2009, Zhang captured a gold medal at the China National Games, an event of equal prestige to the Olympics in China. 2013 saw yet another gold medal winning performance in the China National Games, setting the stage for “Big Bang” to embark on a professional career while basing himself in the United States. En agosto 8, 2014, Zhang made his professional debut by scoring a first-round knockout win over Curtis Lee Tate in Fallon, Nevada in a fight that was televised live on ESPN2. En marzo 14, 2015, Zhang beat Eric George via a four-round unanimous decision at the Armory in Jersey City, New Jersey. He followed that with another four-round unanimous decision win, this time over Glenn Thomas on the highly anticipated Cotto-Geale undercard at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Xuño 6. Next came a sixth round technical knockout win over Dennis Benson at The Playground in Atlantic City on Agosto 15. To end the year, Zhang was featured on the undercard of the Novembro 21 Cotta vs. Canelo mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where scored a four-round unanimous decision victory over Juan Goode.

 

Hayward local, California favorito Aaron Coley (12-1-1, 6 KO) faces a very stern test in a six-round junior middleweight bout against Seguido Ryskeldiev (11-3-2, 7 Kos) of West Hollywood, California, a Kyrgyzstan native who is undefeated in his last seven fights.

 

En Marzo 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onXaneiro 23 at the Marriott on Broadway in Oakland, with another win in front of his hometown fans. Prior to his January win he scored two unanimous decision triumphs, including his June 20, 2015 performance against Yusmani Abreu (who Ryskeldiev defeated by technical knockout in September) on the undercard of Ward’s last fight. Considered a promising prospect in boxing circles, Coley’s lone loss came via decision to one of boxing’s hottest prospects in Ievgen Khytrov in a bout that was televised live on Showtime’s ShoBox on April 10, 2015 from The Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, Nova York.

“Fighting a fight like that, it takes a lot to go even four rounds, much less 12. With a fighter like that, leaning on you and using his weight on you it’s tough. I’m just glad I was in shape and didn’t let my fans down.

 

“I’m a very offensive fighter, so the holding kind of slowed me down. I tried to do what I could and, thankfully, the judges saw that.

 

“My hands are a little sore, but I really did hold back on my punches, especially because he has one of those European guards where he holds his hands up high and his elbows are exposed. I had to be careful going to the body because that’s how I hurt my hands most times, from hitting the elbows. I felt ridiculously strong at the new weight, but I didn’t think my hands would hold up, so I was holding back and trying to win the fight on points and if I could hurt him I would try to stop him.

 

“He was punching me behind the head, so I felt like I had to do the same. If you want to play like that, I can play that game.

 

“At the end of the fight, he came with a good body shot that hurt me a bit. That’s why I slowed down at the end. I have to give it to Ricky. He’s a tough fighter.

 

“It’s time to rest up. I’ve been training since the beginning of the year and I deserve a little rest.”

 

RICKY BURNS

 

“We knew it was going to be a tough fight, but I didn’t agree with the deductions for holding. I thought he was holding as much as me and that’s why I had to tie him up.

 

“We moved up in weight for this one but still had some trouble making weight, but I didn’t want to jeopardize my chance to fight in America.

 

“I think it was his size that gave me problems more than anything. I don’t know what weight he was in that ring, but it was a lot bigger than me.

 

“The plan was to try to stick to boxing for the first half of the fight, but once the size really took over I had to stand and exchange more than I would have liked. I couldn’t get him off of me. I’ve got no excuses, as I said the best man will win.

 

“I always leave everything in the ring and that’s all I can do. I hope everyone who watched enjoyed the fight.

 

“We’ve enjoyed the experience of being in the U.S., obviously the decision didn’t go our way which puts a damper on it, but overall everyone here in Texas has been great. I want to say a big thank you to everybody. I hope to back again.”

 

Jamie McDonnell

 

“I felt in control all the way through. It was a great performance. I know I should have just boxed but I wanted to fight.

 

“I didn’t think I was going to get the decision being abroad, but it’s more than spectacular to come out of here victorious. He’s a great, campión invicto.

 

“His speed surprised me on the knockdown. I knew he was going to be fast, but I didn’t expect it like that. I didn’t see the shot and next thing I knew I was on the floor.

 

“Hit and move, hit and move, that was the strategy. I remember being in there and thinking, ‘Man, this isn’t easy.’ I knew the crowd was going to go his way but it was a great experience.

 

“It’s been a fantastic time being here in America. I’d like to see some familiar faces but it’s a new experience. I was up against it but I knew I could pull it off. I knew deep inside that I could do it.

 

“I think I’m going to move up in weight. I want to catch the big fights before they’re gone.”

 

Tomoki Kameda

 

“I think I won the fight. I did enough to win. He did a lot to win the last rounds, but I did more over the fight. I don’t agree with the judges decision, but I respect it.

 

“I knew he would get up after the knockdown because he’s a world champion. He’s a great fighter and I take my hat off to him, but I won the fight.

 

“Quero un desquite.”

HIDALGO, TEXAS (Maio 7, 2015) – Fight week for Premier Boxeo League en CBS continued Thursday as televised fighters Omar “Panterita” Figueroa, Ricky Burns, Tomoki “O Mexicanito” Kameda, Jamie McDonnelle Austin “Sen dúbida” Troita spoke to the media at the final press conference before their respective bouts taking placeSábado, Maio 9 a State Farm Arena.

 

Here are what the participants had to say Thursday:

 

OMAR FIGUEROA

 

“This is the biggest fight of my career thus far. I have my brother on the undercard and it’s here at home. É iso. I think it’s great for people from the Valley to get a huge card like this here. They haven’t seen this since Vasquez vs. Marquez, so I hope to bring that level of boxing back to the Valley.

 

“I definitely feel more pressure but the good kind of pressure. I’ve thrived on pressure my whole life. I was a pitcher for a long time. I was a closer. So I’ve been in situations where it’s bases loaded and we’re down so many runs and I’ve got to keep the game close. This is what I live for.

 

“I haven’t seen any film of Ricky Burns. Haven’t watched him at all. But from what I’ve heard he’s a tough fighter in great shape, so if we go 12 rounds it’ll be a good 12 rounds. I’m going to go out there and give it my all and win in the most impressive way possible.

 

“It wasn’t difficult to give up my title. I don’t fight for titles. I don’t care for titles. I think they’re just aesthetic things. I’d rather please the fans with a good fight. I don’t care if I win a title at the end of the day, but if the fans are happy, I am happy.

 

“I’m going to be a lot stronger at this new weight. I don’t know what to expect. I’m excited to get in the ring and find out.”

 

RICKY BURNS

 

“When you’re in hard fights, that’s what brings out the best of you. I’m looking forward to getting in the ring and putting on a good performance and win some fans over here.

 

“It’s a very tough fight and we knew that before we took it. Figueroa likes to come forward and be aggressive, but that can be his downside because he takes a lot of shots. We’re prepared for whatever happens on fight night and the best man will win.

 

“Some people think I’ve come over here just to be an opponent but that’s not the case. I had a bad year but it’s all behind me. I’m going to get back to my winning ways.

 

“This is everything I’ve ever wanted to accomplish in boxing. It’s going to be a hard fight but by the time the fight comes it will be just about four weeks that I’ve been in Texas.

 

“I treat boxing as my job, when it comes to training and fighting I always give it 100 percent and leave it all in the ring and hopefully the fans will see that. Omar is never in a dull fight and I’m not one to back out.

 

“We’ve treated this fight exactly the same as any other. Even though we’re in his hometown, as soon as that first bell goes that’s when it’s going to count. It’s just me and him in that ring.”

 

Tomoki Kameda

 

“It is a dream come true to fight on a network like CBS. Millions are now going to get to know me, get to know my style. Boxing is changing and to be part of that is a great honor to me.

“It was not easy to relinquish my world title — I was the first Japanese to hold that title. It’s never easy to give up something that you’ve worked so hard for. But I respect the sanctioning body’s decision, they said I had to relinquish it and so I did. Agora, I’m going for another title, and after that maybe unification.

“McDonnell is a good boxer. He knows how to box and knows his way inside the ring. Most British fighters do that, move around a lot. Its not an easy style to face, but my team and I have a great strategy and we are going to win, we are going to win by knockout.

“I love Mexico. I moved there when I was 15 with my family. I did all of my amateur and all my professional career there. I’m grateful to Mexico and all Mexicans for giving me so much.

“My team and the guys at the gym started calling me ‘El Mexicanito’ because I embrace Mexican culture as my own. I love the food, the people and of course the Spanish language. I struggle with it at first, but now I think I got it mastered.”

 

Jamie McDonnell

 

“I think Kameda is a bit scared and a bit intimidated by my size. I genuinely believe I am going to knock him out. I’m too big and too strong.

 

“I’ve been a world champion for a couple of years now. I’m ultra-confident for this fight. It’s the best I’ve ever felt. Estou realmente esperando por iso.

 

“Kameda is a good fighter and I expect the very best from him. He better expect the very best from me. This is life changing, whoever wins this fight gets propelled up a few levels.

 

“I want the best life possible for my wife and baby daughter. To do that I have to beat him.

 

“My losses were six years ago and I didn’t even really believe in myself at that time. I’ve gone through every experience that you can in that time and I bring everything to the table.

 

“Fans can expect to see a lot of heart. I can take a punch, I can give a punch. It’s an interesting fight and it’s a chance for me to showcase what I’m all about on this great stage here in America.”

 

AUSTIN TROUT

 

“As far as my opponent dropping out at the last minute, disappointment is kind of an understatement. But I’m trying to keep it classy, so I’ll stick with disappointed. I’m not surprised though.

 

“The day I heard that he pulled out it definitely changed my mindset, but I had to find that focus and realize that we still have work to do.

 

“It’s an honor to be part of this whole PBC on CBS card. I feel like this is the resurgence of boxing – brining it back to the golden days. For me to be a part of that was one of my goals when I turned pro. I wanted to be a part of the comeback of boxing.

 

“I’m trying to get a belt. I want my world title back. After I get a world title I’m going to try and avenge those losses. After I avenge those losses I want another title so I can become an undisputed champion. Once that’s done we can consider moving up to another weight class maybe.”
