Nižšie je to, čo bojovníci museli hovoriť počas záverečnej mediálnej tréning:

 

ANDRE WARD, Dvojnásobný majster sveta a prvotriedne libra-pre-búšiť stíhačka:

"Cítim sa dobre a som pripravený ísť. Som vrcholiť v pravý čas. Som jednoducho nadšený, že si to v sobotunoc.

 

"Použil som ísť Oracle Arena na 880 ako dieťa na ceste do kráľovskej fitnes a zaujímalo, či by som mohol robiť tu jeden deň a [tréner] Virgil [Hunter] hovorieval s dôverou, "Budeš titulok tam." Keď som bol starší, Použil som ísť do niektorej z kariet kladený na v aréne. Bol som ešte amatér a ja by som len snívať. Ďalšia vec, viete,, v 2009, Bol som v dreze alebo plávať boji proti Edison Miranda. keby som vyhral, tam bol pravdepodobne dobrá šanca, že by som sa dostať výstrel titulu a zvyšok je história. Tu sme opäť, Je to moja 7th Doba, Oracle a je to stále požehnaním.

 

"Bol to ten správny čas pre presun na svetlo heavyweight. Bola to kombinácia, ktoré nemajú tých správnych ľudí, bojovať, alebo chlapci, že nechcela, aby ma bojovať. Chcem byť skvelý. Jedná sa o typy pohybov máte robiť. Som študent tohto športu, a keď som študovať šport, To je to, čo velikáni vždy robili. Oni sa pohybujú hore. Tí veľkí nájsť spôsob, ako to urobiť a ja chcem byť v tomto rozhovore.

 

"Barrera je veľký telo. On je presvedčený,. Zdá sa byť dobrým Puncher. My sme ho vyzdvihnúť, pretože je soft touch. Vybrali sme ho, pretože on išiel, aby som pripravený a ukáž mi, čo to váhová kategória je všetko okolo. Ak sa pozriete na mojej kariéry, je tu miesto pre tune-up, ktorý som nemal veľa. Ak chcete bojovať najlepšie a ak nie ste bojovať najlepšie, Ak chcete bojovať číslo jeden uchádzač. To je to, čo robíme.

 

"Myslím, že som sa vyvíjajúci sa stala účinným bojovníkom. Idem keď musím pohnúť. Myslím, že to je krása každého športovca, ktorí nezneužíva svoje telo a naozaj berie svoje remeslo vážne. Videl som niekoľko článkov vyhlasovať som vynechal moje prime. Je to šialené pre mňa. Mám pocit, že som tak dobrý, ako som kedy bol. Bol som v boxe telocvični, bez veľa prestávky minulosti 20 leta. Môj mozog mi poďakoval za posledné dva roky. Moje telo mi poďakoval. Je mi mohol dať ďalšie dva roky v mojej kariére.

 

"Musím byť len ma. Kto som ich dosť. Nemám sa ukázať na Kovalev v dave v sobotunoc. Musíme zaviesť herný plán. Myslím, že to bude chcete odoslať správu, že to má poslať, a ak to tak nie je, potom bude [Kovalev] dostať správu, keď budeme bojovať.

 

"Ak nemám vyhrať tento boj, nie je nič dole na ceste. Ak nemám vyhrať tento boj, Nezaslúžim bojovať o titul. To je realita mojej situácii.

 

"Barrera nikdy bojoval človeka, ako som ja pred, aby mohli hovoriť dobrú hru. Môžu dominujú titulky vedúce k boju. Môžu povedať všetko hladkú veci chcú povedať. Chceme len dominujú titulky Nedeľa Ráno po boj je u konca. To je to, čo chcem zamerať. "

 

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Číslo jedna hodnotené IBF Ľahká ťažká váha uchádzačom:

"Som silnejší ako Ward. Mám kubánskej zázemie a som tam naučil veľa zručností. Viac ako čokoľvek iného, odhodlanie prekonať nič predo mnou mi pomôže poraziť Ward na Marec 26.

 

"Raz som v ringu, je to môj dom.

 

"Nech Ward má, Aj upraví na ňu a prekonať ju.

 

"Mám dve ruky. Má dve ruky. Mám nejakú prácu na Marec 26.

 

"Ja viem, Ward a Kovalev sú veľmi vysoko rešpektovaná a vytvárajú veľa peňazí a veľký záujem, ale oni nevedia, čo Sullivan Barrera je schopný robiť. Budem dokázať, že v sobotu.

 

"Nie som človek, ktorý má hľadať knockout. Moje boxerské zručnosti hovoria samé za seba. Bojujem Andre Ward a bojovať tu v Oaklande, takže si nemyslím, že rozhodnutie bude vydané v môj prospech.

 

"Pre všetkých fanúšikov, najmä kubánskej fanúšikovia, ktorí podporili mi prosím vedieť, ktoré prichádzajú Sobota, Budem robiť všetko, čo mám robiť, aby vyšiel víťazne. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF mušia Champion:

"Nemôžem očakávať, že to, čo Jayson urobil Ronny Rios počas tohto boja. Musím ísť dovnútra, otestovať ho a upravte keď som v ringu.

 

"Ak sa naskytne príležitosť, kde je zranený a vidím, že moje údery sú mu ohromujúce, potom samozrejme Idem sa tam dostať, byť agresívny a uistite sa, beriem ho čo najskôr.

 

"Viem, ako sa na vnútornej strane, odrezaním prstenec a vziať to do tela hneď ho rozobrať. To bude, aby ho nepohybuje toľko a neskôr v kolesách môžem pristáť zákerné údery do hlavy. Chystám sa vziať do tela hneď.

 

"Psychicky som 100% pripravený. To je veľká sála v mojej kariére, tak som psychicky zameraná. Som dobre pripravený. Mám pocit, že je to vo chvíli, keď som čakala celý môj celý život. Mám pocit, že som na to pripravený a ja sa nemôžem dočkať Marec 26. Som trénoval veľmi ťažké pre tento boj a ja som dobre pripravený na to.

 

"Naozaj chcem, aby urobil vyhlásenie tomto boji. Chcem ukázať svetu, že Joseph Diaz by mohol byť ďalšia veľká vec v boxe, takže som trénoval veľmi tvrdo, aby na veľkom boji pre boj fanúšikov, byť veľmi agresívny a urobiť z neho vojnu tam. Dúfam, že Jayson Velez je 110% pripravení, pretože chcem s ním byť u jeho najlepšie.

 

"Keď vyhrám tento boj a urobiť vyhlásenie, Myslím, že môžem presunúť do stavu contender a dúfajme, že získať svetový titul strieľal do konca tohto roka. Chcem bojovať proti tvrdej protivníkmi tento rok, pretože chcem ukázať svetu, kto som.

 

"Cítim sa ako zviera, keď som vstúpil do kruhu a vidím to v zápasení. Kedykoľvek som pristátie účinné údery, Môžem vám povedať, že som bolí protivníka. "

JAYSON VELEZ, Najlepšie hodnotené mušia uchádzačom:

"Na môj úrovni, Každý človek je najvyššia uchádzačom. Musím trénovať tvrdšie a zlepšiť svoju obranu. Pracoval som na tom.

 

"Ak vidíte moje posledné tri alebo štyri zápasy, uvidíte, že som bol dominantný v prvých dvoch kolách a potom som došiel plyn, Bol som pracoval na svoje výdrži, takže sa nestane na Marec 26.

 

"Videl som Diazová boja. Sme zápasili niekoľkokrát. má rýchlosť. má hlad. Je to jeho debut HBO, tak sa to určite motivované, ale tak ja taky. Je to bude veľký boj.

 

"Chcem byť majstrom slova. Viem, že to taky chce. V sobotu, budeme vedieť, kto ju chce viac. Obaja chceme vyhrať a my sme obaja tréning za výhru. Boj medzi výkonom a rýchlosťou je skvelý zápas-up. Nehovoriac o tom, že je Mexičan a ja Puerto Říčan. Môžete očakávať veľký boj, a to nie je ten, ktorý chcete nechať ujsť. "

Na Marec 26, NABO Junior Welterweight Champion Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (19-0-2, 14 KO) risks his unbeaten record against Wilfrido “La Roca” Buelvas (17-5, 11 KO) of Barranquilla, Colombia in a ten-round junior welterweight bout. 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 KO) v 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 boja, compiling a record of 97 výhry a iba 7 straty, s 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 a 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) januára 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) na Apríl 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) júna 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, Kalifornia a bojovať von z boxu pareniska Oxnard, neporazený Daniel "Twitch" Franco (12-0-3, 7 KO) meets Mexican veteran German “Panteonero” Meraz(52-37-1, 30 KO) in an eight-round featherweight bout on Marec 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, zhromažďovanie amatérsky záznam 67-15, víťazstvo na majstrovstvách Oxnard PAL v 2006 a Kalifornia štátnej Silver Rukavice majstrovstvá 2007 pozdĺž cesty. Počas Franco je profesionálny debut decembra 18, 2010, porazil Emanuel Machorro v klube 401 v Ontáriu, Kalifornia cez tretie kolo technický knokaut. Napriek tomu, že je zapísaný ako na plný úväzok študent na Chaffey vysokej školy v Rancho Cucamonga, Franco dojem čoskoro v jeho kariére, zostavovanie neporazený záznam s dvoma čerpá v miestach po celej Kalifornii do konca roka 2013. Jeden z tých ťahov prišli proti Alejandro Ochoa na Quiet Cannon v Montebello, Kalifornia septembra 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Franco outmatched Ochoa bodovania šesť guľatý jednomyseľným rozhodnutím víťazstvo v Westin Bonaventure Hotel v Los Angeles. Júna 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 December 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, Mexiko.

 

A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, Kalifornia, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. Jr. (7-0, 6 KO)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 KO) of 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, Kalifornia. Teraz, 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. V júni 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 Apríl 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on November 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, Kalifornia.

 

Brooklyn’s 20-year-old, neporazený Junior “The Young God” Younan (7-0, 6 KO) vracia do kruhu o Marec 26 after a nine-month layoff to take on Cristian Solorzano (4-7, 3 KO) 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 Barclays Center v Brooklyne, New York. Teraz 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. V 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 narodeniny, Younan made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, New 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 na Foxwoods Resort Casino v Mashantucket, Connecticut. He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on August 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on August 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 KO) joins the undercard on Marec 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, Čína.

 

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. V 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. Augusta 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. Marca 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 Jún 6. Next came a sixth round technical knockout win over Dennis Benson at The Playground in Atlantic City on August 15. To end the year, Zhang was featured on the undercard of the November 21 Cotto vs. Canelo mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where scored a four-round unanimous decision victory over Juan Goode.

 

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

 

Na Marec 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onJanuár 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, New York.

HIDALGO, TEXAS (Máj 9, 2015) – Omar “Panterita” Figueroa (25-0-1, 18 KO) remained undefeated as he put on an exciting show in front of a raucous hometown crowd and earned a unanimous decision over Ricky Burns (37-5-1, 11 KO) on Premier Boxing Champions on CBS live from State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas.

 

Figueroa was the sharper fighter who landed harder punches and was able to dictate the pace of the fight. Burns was deducted a point in both the eighth and 11th rounds by the referee for excessive holding. “Panterita” vyhral skóre 116-110 a dvakrát 117-109.

 

In the first televised fight of the afternoon, British star Jamie McDonnell (25-2-1, 12 KO) earned a narrow but unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Tomoki “Mexicanito” Kameda (31-1, 19 KO). McDonnell was knocked down for the first time in his career by a sharp right hand from Kameda in round three but quickly recovered to win by a score of 114-113 Na všetkých troch sudcov’ karty.

 

Here are what the fighters had to say after their bouts:

 

OMAR FIGUEROA

 

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, neporazený šampión.

 

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.

 

Tomoko 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.

 

“Chcem odvetu.”

PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS ON CBS FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES & FOTKY

Kliknite na tlačidlo TU For Photos From Esther Lin/PBC on CBS

Live On CBS Sports Starting at 4 P.m. A/1 P.m. PT

HIDALGO, TEXAS (Máj 7, 2015) – Fight week for Champions Premier Boxerské na CBS continued Thursday as televised fighters Omar “Panterita” Figueroa, Ricky Burns, Tomoki “Mexicanito” Kameda, Jamie McDonnella Austin “Bezpochyby” Pstruh spoke to the media at the final press conference before their respective bouts taking placeSobota, Máj 9 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. To je ono. 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. To je to, čo žijem.

 

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 kolesá. 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.

 

Tomoko 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 titleI 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. Teraz, 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 Mexicanitobecause 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. Som naozaj teším na to.

 

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 boxingbrining 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.
