Això és el que els participants havien de dir Dimarts:
LEO SANTA CREU
My dream is to be the next big thing in boxing. We’re going to work hard every day in the gym, learn from our mistakes and improve so I can be the best fighter out there. With the help of the fans and the media I think I can accomplish that.
He has great skills, great punches and he moves very well. It’s going to be a tough fight for me but I’m going to work hard to defend my belt.
I see Frampton as someone trying to come and take away everything I worked hard for. I can’t let that happen. I’m going to do what I have to do to get the win.
He’s a very skilled fighter. He has great power and I think it’s going to be an exciting fight. These are the kind of guys I want to fight. It gives me even more motivation to get in the gym and train hard.
I’ve known Mikey Garcia from the amateur days and our families have sparred with each other. I’ve even trained with Robert Garcia before. To see another great Mexican fighter go over to New York is very exciting. I’m very happy for him. He’s a great guy and a great fighter.
I think Frampton will keep his power up the weight classes. He couldn’t make 122-pounds anymore and he’s said that he will be even stronger this time. That’s good. That’s what I want. I want him to feel good so it’ll be a tough and entertaining fight.
I can’t let him come over to the U.S. and get this win. We’re going to go out there and see if he can bring the best out of me. I’m going to be one-hundred percent ready.
I’m comfortable at 126-pounds. I want to get this win against Carl Frampton and then unify against Gary Russell Jr., Lee Selby or any of the champions. When my body is ready we’ll move up in weight to seek another world title.
When I first started boxing all I ever thought about was being a world champion one time. Then after I got there I started pushing my goals. If I continue to keep learning and improve as a fighter, I could go all the way up to 140-pounds.
I’m thrilled to be fighting in New York. It’s going to be my first time out there. I’m excited to meet new fans. The people who have wished I would fight in New York will get to see me. There are people that don’t know me and this my opportunity to be impressive and put on a show for them.
MIKEY GARCIA
I’m a well-rounded fighter. I can adjust to just about any style. I get a lot of diverse sparring so that I can adjust to anything Rojas might bring. Training camp has been going very well and I think it’s going to be a good night for me.
I’ve seen Rojas before. I saw him when he was champion. He’s a good fighter with a lot of experience. He can definitely box and has a good right hand. He lost his title to a great champion. He’s very skilled and experience.
Both of us are boxers and we tend to try to work from a distance. This time I may have to look for the fight a bit more and apply some pressure. If he tries to box around, I’ll find him. I think my power will eventually be the difference and I’ll break him down.
I don’t believe there will be ring rust because I was never really outside of the ring. I’ve been in the gym the whole time, sparring and training. I would spar 10 o 12 rondes, just to do it. Not because I had a fight, but just to keep me active. I know it seems like a long time, but I don’t really see it. I feel like I was gone six months.
I want to fight at 135 and fight for a title there. I’m going to see how my body feels after this fight, but that’s the plan as of now. We’re not looking past Elio. I definitely want to get back in the ring soon if everything goes right.
I have no regrets. I’ve got to enjoy myself more than I had in the last 10 any. When you’re in boxing, it’s a year round sport. You don’t have time to yourself, for your family or friends. You miss out on a lot. I learned a lot in my time away about boxing and more.
This will end up being about a seven-week training camp, but even prior to that I’ve been staying in the gym. I don’t feel any different. I feel one-hundred percent. My body is well-rested which makes me hungrier and more motivated.
I’ve fought in New York before and it’s always been a great and very supportive crowd. I was at Barclays Center for the first time on June 25 for Thurman-Porter and it was a great arena. It had great energy and I can’t wait to fight there. I can’t wait to fight at Barclays.
It’s great to be in the gym with all these different types of fighters that my brother trains. I have a lot of very intense sparring. I’ve gotten a chance to really learn from the different styles and it definitely helps me.
IVAN REDKACH
This is an excellent fight for me. I’m closing in to a title shot and I’m going to be ready on Juliol 30.
I have a plan for this fight. You’ll see it in the ring. I’m going to make this an exciting fight.
A title fight is my motivation but my focus in fully on Juliol 30. Everything I’ve done is to lead up to a world title fight.
I know that my opponent is slick and very fast. He’s a good boxer but we’ll see what he brings to the ring.
This is my first camp with Leo Santa Cruz and his team and it’s been going very well. I feel very prepared to fight.
ANTONIO SANTA CRUZ, Leo’s Brother & Entrenador
This camp feels very close to the same as usual. El meu pare (Jose) is usually the one who tells us what to do. I’m in the ring with Leo but he’s still there. He is sick but he is still going to the gym. He wants to be there for Leo.
Frampton is a good fighter. He’s going to give my brother a good fight. Short guys are tougher for Leo so we’re making sure we have sparring with fighters of all heights. Frampton won’t be hard to get inside but his height could pose a problem.
It’s a little bit more pressure on me. I’m trying to show my father that I can learn and help Leo be at his best. I think he’s going to have a great night.
JOSE SANTA CREU, Leo’s Father & Entrenador
“Em sento bé. Right now I’m going to the gym every day. Leo looks good in the ring and is training very well.
Little by little Antonio is learning and even I’m still learning. We’re both getting better as trainers and that is our goal, to be great. I feel the love from my sons and I love them a lot too. I’m proud of them and I’m proud that they are my sons.
Leo is very calm. I don’t think Leo is going to be affected by traveling to New York. Even if he doesn’t have the majority of the fans, I don’t think it will affect him.
You never know how it’s going to go on fight night. You can prepare in the gym, but sometimes, once you’re up in the ring, a fight can get complicated.
Even if I can’t make it to New York, I’m going to watch the fight. Even if it’s with one eye open, I’m going to watch.
ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Entrenador
Mikey definitely wants to win a title at 135-pounds. There are some good champions out there but not necessarily a huge name. Eventually Mikey would want to go up to 140-pounds where I believe there are a lot of exciting fights that could be made.
Elio is a fighter that has been off for a while and he’s a former world champion. He’s also trying to come back and make a statement. We have to be prepared for the opponent to be at the top of his game.
Now that he’s got a date and with the training and sparring, Mikey has been looking really good. It’s been a while. We might see a little bit of rust, a little bit of adjustment to timing. But the way he’s been in the gym, against top quality fighters, he’s been looking so good that I wouldn’t be surprised if he put on one of his best performances.

Frampton and Malignaggi posed for pictures outside of Barclays Center and under the Brooklyn Bridge before heading to Gleason’s Gym, where Malignaggi got his start in the sport, for Frampton’s first workout for New York media.
Això és el que els participants havien de dir Dijous:
CARL Frampton
I want to be in exciting fights. From here on in my career, Vull ser gran. Who better to face than Leo Santa Cruz? This is a chance to put my name down in history and become a two-weight world champion from Ireland.
I’ve been listening to Barry McGuigan since I turned professional. I just wanted to soak all of it up like a sponge. He’s got so much knowledge and he’s been around for so many years. I just need to be around him and learn. Shane does an amazing job training me, and between the two of them, I feel like I’m benefitting every day.
It’s very nice to be here in Brooklyn, it’s a lovely borough and it’s so great to be here in New York. There are a lot of boxing fans in New York and I really think this is the number one city for boxing.
We’re bringing a lot of lads from back home, and I also hope the Irish-Americans get to know my name, and everyone in Brooklyn as well. I expect about 1,500 traveling fans from Belfast. I think I’ll have more support than Santa Cruz.
This fight is huge for me because I really want to create a legacy. I know how people talk, and I think people will be talking about this for a very long time. I want people to remember me as a great fighter, that’s all.
I train very hard for every fight. No less or no more for Santa Cruz. We’re expecting a very tough fight with a lot of action.
The last time I was an underdog was the Irish championships, when I was an amateur. You could have got me at 11:2, I was a massive underdog. I dropped him pretty early on, so the last time I was an underdog, a lot of people who knew me made a lot of money. It’s going to be the same result this time.
“Moure fins 126 pounds was definitely the right decision for me. I’m a big puncher but I lost power coming down to 122 lliura. I’m going to be punching harder and be at my very best.
I’m right on the door step of everything. I’m so excited for fight night, it’s going to be a truly special experience.
It’s important to be recognized in the States. This is where all of the great fighters from around the world end up fighting, and I really want to be recognized as a great fighter.
Paulie Malignaggi
I think my fight with Bracero is an interesting clash of styles. We have similar styles in that we like to box and counter punch but we’re also both very familiar with each other. I’m sure he’ll have something up his sleeve for me.
Making this kind of all-Brooklyn fight is great for the fans. We both have our own followings so it should make for an electric atmosphere at Barclays Center.
The main event is going to be a great fight. When you look at the styles and the pedigrees of both men, it’s hard to predict what’s going to happen. Both guys have exciting styles so I’m betting on the fans getting their money’s worth.
BARRY McGuigan, Gerent de Frampton, L'ex Campió del Món & Saló de la Fama
After Carl defeated Scott Quigg and became a unified champion at 122 lliura, we believe that all of the exciting fights in that division have passed. We want to be involved in exciting fights.
The Quigg fight wasn’t as exciting as we would have liked, but we knew it was going to be like that. We knew he’d come on late in the fight and we had our tactics planned well. This is going to be a much better fight because Santa Cruz is brave and takes chances. He also has underrated boxing skills.
Shane is making Carl a better fighter every day. Every day that you don’t get better is a day you wasted. Carl is in the best physical shape of his career and we will have a plan A, B and C for this fight.
Santa Cruz is a great fighter. He’s low-key, humble and he hasn’t talked trash. This will be Carl’s hardest fight. It feels great to be involved helping Carl reach his maximum potential, it’s the second best thing to being in the ring yourself.
We believe 100 percent in Frampton’s ability to win this fight and that he will be successful on fight night.
There are some great fights out there for Carl. We’re 100 percent committed to Juliol 30 but there are lots of great fights in the featherweight division. We will have lots of support on fight night and I have no doubt there will be a large Irish crowd there to support Carl.
SHANE McGuigan, Entrenador de Frampton
Leo Santa Cruz is unbeaten and there aren’t really any weaknesses from my perspective. He’s a phenomenal fighter, but I don’t believe he’s fought a fighter of Carl Frampton’s caliber, as an all-around fighter.
When he meets someone who is as good, or in my opinion, better than him, we’ll see what he’s made of. I think it’s going to make for one of the most exciting fights of the year.
I wouldn’t be taking on this fight it I wasn’t extremely confident in Carl, even though he’s coming in as the underdog. I don’t think Santa Cruz has ever felt the power that Carl brings before. I think Carl can beat him comfortably if he continues to prepare well, and then steps into the ring and does what he’s capable of doing.
We’re finishing up camp now and making sure we’re 100 percent read. We have to be 100 percent to fight Leo Santa Cruz.
Carl is extremely heavy-handed. He’s extremely skillful, a true all-rounder. He really lives the life, and that makes it easy for me. The way he trains, how he eats, how he sleeps: he takes it seriously and takes care of himself.
The transition coming over to New York to finish training camp has been great. We could have waited until closer to fight night but we want every single percent to our advantage.
We’re still acclimatizing to the heat, the jet lag is no problem and we’re going to be ready on fight night.
This fight is history in the making. It’s a fight that can really put Carl on the map. It’s always a huge opportunity when you’re fighting for a title, against someone of Santa Cruz’s caliber.

A 10-round clash between once-beaten lightweight Ivan Redkach and streaking Tevin Farmer, un guanyador de 14 straight, will open the SHOWTIME EXTREME telecast live at 7 p.m. I/PT.

 

La Juliol 30 event at Barclays Center comes on the heels of last Saturday’s potential Fight of the Year thriller between Keith Thurman i Shawn Porter, a back-and-forth slugfest that generated the top grossing live gate and second-highest attended boxing event in venue history.

 

“This is the strongest card from top to bottom that I have promoted at Barclays Center,” said DiBella Entertainment President Lou DiBella. “Every single fight is significant and competitive, and this is a great follow up from the tremendous success that boxing had with Thurman-Porter this past weekend.”

 

“This will be our 19º esdeveniment de boxa, but from top to bottom it’s arguably our best card yet,” said Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment CEO Brett Yormark. “We are excited to welcome undefeated Santa Cruz and Frampton to Brooklyn for the first time, a fight that could rival Barclays Center’s epic Thurman-Porter bout for Fight of the Year. It’s also a pleasure to welcome Brooklyn’s own Paulie Malignaggi back to Barclays Center for the fifth time and to host the return of Mikey Garcia after a two and a half year hiatus. Juliol 30 is going to be another big night for BROOKLYN BOXING.”

 

“We are excited to be part of Mikey Garcia’s return to the ring. Before the layoff, he was a two-division world champion and considered one of the top boxers in the world. We know he is determined to reclaim his place among the elite,", Va dir Stephen Espinoza, Vicepresident Executiu & Gerent General, SHOWTIME Sports. “SHOWTIME has distinguished itself by delivering the most compelling matchups and the most important events in boxing all year long. There is no other network as committed to the sport, i la Juliol 30 esdeveniment, from top-to-bottom, is a prime example.”

 

MIKEY GARCIA vs. ELIO ROJAS

“I expect to pick up right where I left off,” Garcia told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray last Saturday on CBS. “I was a world champion, I was undefeated, and I still am. I didn’t leave because I was injured. I think I’ll come back even better. I’m hungrier now than I was before.

 

“I just have to get one fight in. This first fight with Elio (Rojas) will be somewhere between 135 i 140 lliura, but I want to fight at 135 and win a title there. I want to win a title there and keep going after champion after champion. Now that all that (uncertainty) is behind me I look forward to the next stage of my career. This next stage of my career will be what people remember me for.”

 

“Mikey Garcia is a great fighter,” Rojas said. “I want to thank him for this opportunity. We are both former WBC World Champions and I expect a great fight. No obstant això, all of the talk surrounding this fight has been about Mikey’s comeback and his future plans. I am no tune-up. This is also about me coming back and fighting again. He may be looking past me, but I am fully focused on him and securing the victory. I will do whatever I have to do to win, so I can move on and regain my world championship.”

 

García (34-0, 28 KOs), de Ventura, Qualif., is 28-years-old and in the prime of his career. Once considered one of the top young boxers pound-for-pound in the world, he will make his first ring appearance since he retained the WBO 130-pound title with a 12-round unanimous decision overJuan Carlos Burgos el gen. 25, 2014. García, the brother of renowned trainer Robert García, has been victorious by knockout in 10 del seu passat 12 fights and holds impressive victories overRoman “Rocky” Martinez, Juan Manuel Lopez, Orlando Salido i Bernabe Concepcion.

 

Rojas (24-2, 14 KOs), of San Francisco de Macoris, República Dominicana, won the WBC featherweight world championship in 2009 with a 12-round unanimous decision over defending titleholder Takahiro Ao al Japó. The 33-year-old successfully defended the title against Guty Espadas Jr. a 2010, before losing the belt via unanimous decision to Jhonny González a l'abril 2012. Since the loss to Gonzalez, Rojas moved up to lightweight, on va derrotar Robert Osiobe a l'agost 2014.

 

TONY HARRISON vs. SERGEY RABCHENKO:

“I’m thrilled to return to the ring on this big stage for my first fight in Brooklyn, and I’m ready to put on a show,” said Harrison. “Fighting for a world title is my dream and I know that I have a challenge in front of me. I’m working hard in camp to get another knockout and to make my mark on the division.”

 

“This is the start of realizing my dream,” Rabchenko said. “America is the Mecca of boxing so it is a huge privilege for me to be asked to fight there. American fans like to see knockouts and I like to knock people out so I think they will like what they see. I think I can build a fan base there. I am hungrier than ever. I have not seen much of Harrison, but I am ready for anyone. People say he is a very good fighter with good power. I’m not worried. I have good power as well and I think I will have too much for him.”

 

Amb tan sols 25 anys d'edat, Harrison (23-1, 19 KOs) has showed tremendous promise. He manufactured a 10-fight knockout streak from 2013 a 2015 and proved he could recover from a loss when he dominated Cecil McCalla per 10 rounds in October 2015 i es va aturar Fernando Guerrero in impressive fashion in March.

 

Fighting out of Belaraus, Rabchenko (27-1, 20 KOs) is looking to put himself squarely into world title contention when he makes his U.S. debutar a Juliol 30. The 30-year-old is coming off stoppage victories over Walter Calvo al maig 2015 and Miguel Aguilar in February.

 

SHOWTIME EXTREME:

 

PAULIE MALIGNAGGI vs. GABRIEL BRACERO:

“I feel truly blessed to have yet another opportunity to fight in Brooklyn,” Malignaggi said. “I have known Tito a long time and I know he always comes to fight. We will give the Brooklyn fans a great appetizer before the terrific main event later that night in Barclays Center.”

 

“I’m looking to make a statement by winning this fight,” said Bracero. “Paulie and I have been friends since the amateurs and I’m thankful to have this opportunity, but he’s had his run. Now it’s time for me to have mine. This fight is going to change my life.”

 

Un excampió del món en 140 i 147 lliures-, the 35-year-old Malignaggi (35-7, 7 KOs) will return to the ring to fight at Barclays Center for the fifth time. He has faced a slew of big names throughout his career and has been victorious over the likes of Zab Judah, Vyacheslav Senchenko i Pablo Cesar Cano. Nascut i criat al barri de Bensonhurst de Brooklyn, “The Magic Man” was victorious twice fighting in his birth country of Italy last year after unsuccessfully challenging unbeaten Danny García a l'agost.

 

Another Brooklyn-native, Bracero (24-2, 5 KOs) comes off of a sensational one-punch knockout of rival Danny O'Connor in their rematch last October. The 35-year-old owns victories over Dmitry Saleta i Pavel Miranda in addition to his first triumph over the previously unbeaten O’Connor in 2011.

 

IVAN REDKACH vs. TEVIN FARMER:

“I am extremely happy to be back in the ring on a big show in New York,” Redkach said. “There are so many Ukrainian fans in New York and I am thrilled to have their support and will put on a great show for them. I want to thank Leo Santa Cruz and his team for having me in their camp as we both prepare ourselves to put on tremendous performances come Juliol 30."

 

“I couldn’t be more excited about this fight,” Farmer said. “This is my Barclays Center debut and it is going to be a spectacular performance. I have called out anyone and everyone in the 130- pound division to no avail, so now I’m moving up to 135 to take on Redkach, one of the most feared punchers in the division. Redkach is an aggressive guy and I know he is coming to fight, but there is no way I leave that ring without my hand being raised. This is a fight where I can and I will make a major statement. I’m willing to fight whoever they put in front of me to inch closer to a world title opportunity and Juliol 30 is another step in that direction. I tip my hat off to Redkach for giving me this fight, but this is my time to shine.”

 

Nascut a Ucraïna, però lluitant fora de Los Angeles, REDK (19-1-1, 15 KOs) began boxing at the age of six and has put together an impressive career since turning pro in 2009. The 30-year-old owns victories over Tony Luis, Sergey Gulyakevich i Yakubu Amidu. Més recentment, Redkach knocked out Erick Daniel Martinez a l'octubre 2015 and fought to a draw with Luis Cruz a l'abril.

 

Representing the fighting city of Philadelphia, Farmer (24-1-1, 5 KOs) ha guanyat 14 bouts in a row since losing to unbeaten world champion Jose Pedraza a 2012. The 25-year-old has come on strong in recent years, upsetting previously unbeaten fighters such as Emmanuel Gonzalez, Angel Luna i Camilo Pérez. Farmer dominated veteran Gamaliel Díaz in March and will make his Barclays Center debut on Juliol 30.

BELÉN, Pennsilvània. (Abril 20, 2016) – Ivan Redkach (19-1-1, 15 KOs) i Luis Cruz (22-4-1, 16 KOs) fought to a split draw and both scored knockdowns Dimarts night in an exciting main event on Lliga de Campions de Boxa (PBC)DIMARTS TOE-TO-TOE en FS1 i BOXA DE CAMPIONS on FOX Deportes from Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Pare.
In early action, Cruz began to establish his straight right hand when he knocked Redkach off balance and sent him to the canvas in round two. The Puerto Rican veteran controlled much of the early rounds with that right hand, great movement and overall boxing ability.
Redkach was aggressive throughout, llançament 602 punches over the 10-round bout to Cruz’s 485. No obstant això, Cruz’s 33 percent connect rate was good enough for him to dominate the first half of the fight.
La 2008 Ukranian Olympian began to find a landing zone for his big left hand as the fight wore on and late in round eight he landed one cleanly on Cruz that dropped him hard. Redkach was then awarded a controversial knockdown in an explosive ninth round when Cruz fell to the mat on what he said was a slip as a result of a push.
Both men emptied the tank in the final round knowing that one punch could change the outcome of the fight and ended with several flurries. The scores after 10 rounds were razor thin at 94-93 for Redkach, 94-93 Cruz and 94-94, resulting in the split draw.
The co-main event of the evening featured a fast pace brawl that saw unbeaten prospect Immanuel Aleem (16-0, 9 KOs) earn a hard fought victory over Jonathan Cepeda (17-2, 15 KOs) in their eight-round middleweight contest.
Aleem and Cepeda traded power punches all fight long, with Cepeda taking the brunt of the punishment as he was out landed 272 a 107. Aleem was superior in all regards as he also landed an impressive 42 per cent del seu total de ponches.
Cepeda refused to surrender however and used a powerful right hook to occasionally stun Aleem. The still unbeaten prospect was always able to return any punishment and then some, winning by the score of 79-73 en els tres jutges’ quadres de comandament.
In the televised opener unbeaten middleweight prospects collided as Junior Castell (10-0, 9 KOs) earned a unanimous decision over Kyrone Davis (10-1, 4 KOs) in a competitive eight-round affair.
The Delaware-native Davis was impressive early with his movement and boxing abilities but the southpaw Castillo was soon able to time his opponent and land left hands to the head and body.
En la quarta ronda, Castillo hurt and dropped Davis in the middle of the round with a left hand after an exchange. Neither man allowed the other to gain too much momentum throughout the remainder of the fight, but it was Castillo’s output advantage of 117-92 that bettered Davisaccuracy advantage of 36 percent to 30 per cent.
Castillo won the decision by scores of 78-73, 77-74 i 76-75.
Això és el que els combatents havien de dir Dimarts:
IVAN REDKACH
I think I won, but it was a good fight.
The knockdown I suffered was me losing my balance. I felt I controlled the fight because I knocked him down twice. I thought I could have stopped him after the first knockdown.
I am not going to argue with the decision but I feel I won the fight.
LUIS CRUZ
I thought the last knockdown was a slip. That was the difference between the draw and my win.
“El llastimar. I had the power. I tried to work round-by-round. I feel that I won six rounds and that the knockdown cost me the win.
I thought I fought well. The draw was better than a loss. Why not a rematch? He is strong and dangerous. He hits hard but I know I am better than him.
IMMANUWEL ALEEM
He was a tough guy. I hit him with some good shots but he kept his ground. I respect that.
I was trying to take my time to get him out. I was being hasty. I was trying to get him every chance I got but he was tough. I am a student of the game and I was taking my time.
My manager George Peterson has a resume of building up Paul Williams and I trust what he has in store for me. He knows what I am capable of doing. We will go after everybody, just like Paul did.
JUNIOR CASTILLO
It was a very good fight. I had some difficulty at first but I felt confident that I would be victorious.
I kept consistent with my game plan and I was able to knock him down. I thought I would be able to finish him but I got too wild.
It feels good to defeat an undefeated prospect and also go the distance. I have never gone the distance before.
I want some kind of title fight. My confidence is much higher right.
KYRONE DAVIS
I felt like it was a good fight. I feel like I won. I thought the crowd swayed the judges. I felt like I won but that’s how it goes sometimes.
“78-73 was too wide. I controlled the first two rounds. He crossed over and hit me with a good shot. He may have won the knockdown round and the last round.
If he gives me a rematch, I would love it. This is just a minor setback. I will improve after this fight and I will move forward.

“Aquest campament ha estat tot sobre aconseguir coses correctes. Havia de assegurar-me que la meva mentalitat era correcte. Perdre no és una opció més. En la meva derrota davant Amir (Kan), que no era res del que ell va fer necessàriament a fer-me perdre. Totes les pèrdues que he tingut crec que podria haver guanyat fàcilment igual que aquestes baralles. Es tracta d'un joc mental, i jo no hi era mentalment per a aquestes baralles.
“Havia de desfer-se de les distraccions de tot el campament que em mantenien de centrar plenament en la tasca a mà i l'important que és per a mi la boxa. Havia de concentrar-se i després tornar a centrar-se en el molt que això significa per a mi. Tothom necessita per reprogramar si de tant en tant per ajudar a recordar el que és important.
“Sé Aron Martínez vindrà a lluitar. Ell coneix el meu historial i que he colpejat alguns dels millors. Així que ell sap que serà dur per a ell, i estic segur que va a portar al seu millor en el ring amb ell, però no serà suficient. Quan estic concentrat com això ningú em pot vèncer.”
ARON MARTINEZ
“El meu estil és lluitar i és d'esperar que es troba i els intercanvis amb mi, però si no tenim un bon pla de joc per boxejar. Sabem que és un boxejador, així que estic bastant segur que això és el que anem a veure.
“He de tenir cura d'Alexander. Vull donar una bona baralla i després anar a baralles més grans. Estic aquí per lluitar contra tot el que es posen davant meu. Estic a punt per enfrontar-se a qualsevol.
“No he conegut a una sola persona que no crec que va guanyar la baralla Robert Guerrero, però això és el passat. Crec que li vaig guanyar, però és la boxa i estic preparat per lluitar un diferent tipus de boxejador camí.
“Es sentia bé per fer caure Guerrero perquè tothom subestima el meu poder. Vaig lluitar un munt de nois forts i he sentit els meus cops. Entrenem a la caixa o de comerç cops.”
LEE SELBY
“Estic molt emocionat. Aquesta és la meva primera defensa del títol mundial i és en contra d'un repte difícil que la majoria dels nois no prendrien. No és una victòria fàcil, especialment amb que jo hagi de venir a l'estranger.
“He triat un enemic formidable i si li vaig guanyar a un tipus com ell i veig bé, ha d'aixecar el meu perfil durant la nit.
“Realment no estudi els combatents, A mi m'agrada saber una mica sobre el seu estil. Montiel pot fer les dues coses, he doesn’t have a typical style. I like to keep it simple because you don’t want to prepare for one thing and then have your opponent come out doing something different.
“Montiel és un gran pegador, però he estat amb un munt de bons pegadores. He colpejat diversos nois invictes i tinc un munt d'experiència per la meva curta edat.
“Estic acostumat a venir aquí per als camps d'entrenament i pel que no tenir l'avantatge afició local, He guanyat títols en les multituds hostils abans, així que no serà un problema.
“Crec que sóc el millor de tots en la divisió. Vull lluitar amb els pilots de cap i crec que si em dóna una gran victòria i quedar bé aquí, Vaig a estar en la barreja.
“Amb aquestes baralles estar en T.V. gratuïta, més gent arriba a mi i meu perfil veure canviarà ràpidament, sempre que faig el que sóc capaç.”
FERNANDO MONTIEL
“Sincerament, crec que (Selby) triar el tipus equivocat de lluitar. He tingut una gran preparació per a aquesta baralla. Tot el treball s'ha posat en. Ell només va escollir l'home equivocat per fer el seu debut a Estats Units contra.
“Em vaig sentir molt feliç quan vaig saber que anàvem a lluitar a Arizona. Hi ha un munt de mexicans aquí, així que sé que tindré un munt de gent darrere meu Dimecres. Serà genial per lluitar aquí.
“Per descomptat, no sentir que l'edat no té res a veure amb aquesta lluita. Mira'm. Estic llest per anar.”
