Here is what the fighters had to say from their respective training camps:
ERISLANDY LARA
(24-2-2, 14 Biaya) From Guantanamo, Kuba & Training with Ronnie Shields in Houston
Q. How has training camp gone? Has it been affected by the Hurricanes and what is your message for the people effected in your training home in Houston and home in Miami?
“Training camp is going smooth as always. A lot of hard work has been put into the camp. As far as the hurricanes, it flooded bad in the areas close to our gym, but we were only gone for a couple of days. The roads to the gym were flooded, so we couldn’t go to the gym on those days. I just want to say I’m praying for all those affected by the hurricanes in Houston, Miami and Puerto Rico.”
Q. What do you know about Gausha and what kind of problems does he present? What do you have to be prepared to do to get the win?
“Gausha is a very good fighter. I know he was an Olympian and is currently undefeated as a professional. There’s nothing he does that I haven’t already seen. Jadi, I’m just going to stick to my game plan and listen to my corner. If I stay composed I will be able to put on the performance I’m looking for.”
Q. What does it mean to you to be on a card with all of these 154-pound champions and top contenders? How important is it to make a statement to the rest of the division?
“Ini adalah kehormatan besar, especially since I’m in the main event. It shows I’m the top fighter in the division. Getting the win by all means necessary will be my statement. If I get the knockout, it will be icing on the cake as the say here in the U.S.”
Q. What do you think is the significance of you being the longest-reigning 154-pound champion? If you’re able to win on October 14 what fights in the division do you want to make in the future?
“It means a lot. I have a goal to break the record, held by Gianfranco Ross, for most title defenses at 11. But I’ll always be ready to fight anyone they put in front of me. I want big challenges so I would love to fight with GGG or Canelo, and I would also jump at the chance to unify against Cotto or Hurd.”
TERRELL GAUSHA
(20-0, 9 Biaya) From Cleveland, Ohio & Training with Manny Robles in Norwalk, California
Q. How has training camp gone so far? Who have you been sparring with and what have they been able to do to prepare you for Lara? Have you tried anything new this training camp?
“Pelatihan telah besar. We’ve been at it for 10 minggu. I’ve been sparring with good partners, even though I can’t pronounce most of their names. We brought in a bronze medalist from the 2012 Olimpiade, Chris Pearson and a great Nigerian fighter as well. They’re defensively skilled and as close as we could find to Lara’s style. He’s hard to mimic, but they’re close. We’re not really doing anything new, just working more rounds. I’ve done lots of 12-rounders in sparring, but we’ll save the rest of our secrets for fight night.”
Q. What does it mean to you to fight for a world title for the first time? Is there extra motivation from seeing other 2012 Olympians who’ve picked up titles?
“It’s a blessing and a dream come true. I’ve been working on this since I first laced up the gloves. Not everyone gets this shot and I plan on taking full advantage. Those guys from the 2012 Olympics are my brothers. We talked about things like this back at the Olympics. Then they went out and showed me it’s possible. I want to be the next one to pick up a title to fulfill my promise too.”
Q. What kind of problems does Lara present in the ring? How do you prepare for his skill set and what he does well in the ring?
“I’ve been watching Lara for a while. I know he’s a mover. Guys like that are slick and he’s a good counter-puncher. He’s a crafty veteran and has fought a lot of top guys. But I have a lot of experience myself. I’m undefeated and it’s my time.”
Q. What does it mean to you to be part of a tripleheader with the top talent in the division? How important is it to take advantage of this opportunity and put on the best performance possible?
“Being involved in this lets me know where I’m at. Not just anybody got on this card. We earned our way here and this night will open up other big fights in the division. There’s no pressure for me, meskipun. I put in all the hard work at the gym. Pada laga malam, I just let things flow.”

Berikut adalah apa yang para peserta konferensi pers harus mengatakan Hari Rabu:
ERISLANDY LARA
“I like to do my talking in the ring. Pada Tanggal Bulan Oktober 14 that’s exactly what I’m going to do. It’s an honor to be headlining on SHOWTIME and we’re looking forward to a great fight.
“I’m excited to be part of this huge card. This is a great event. These are the best guys in the division. It’s a pleasure to be the main event and I look forward to putting on a show.
“Gausha is a good fighter. He’s an Olympian and a guy who wants to win and become world champion. I know what that feels likes, but I also know what it takes. We’ll see how it plays out on Bulan Oktober 14.
“Saya senang untuk laga ini. I’ve beat champions, former champions and now I’ll add an Olympian. After I take care of business I look forward to unifying the division.
“My prayers and my thoughts are with everyone down in Houston. I have family and friends who were affected. It’s a sad situation, but Houston has to be strong. That’s why I’m going to have ‘Houston Strong’ on my trunks because we all need to stick together and unite. That’s the way we’ll make it through.”
TERRELL GAUSHA
“I was extremely excited to get the call for this fight. I’ve been working for this my whole career and it’s a great opportunity. Lara is considered to be the best in the division and I want to fight the best. Now is my time.
“I’ll have to make adjustments in there. Obviously with Lara you have to cut the ring off. We have a game plan that I’m going to go in there and execute on Bulan Oktober 14.
“I’m fighting a tough competitor. He’s crafty. We all know he has skills. But I’ve prepared for this and I’m going to do what I have to do. I like to do my talking in the ring and I’ll leave it all on the line on fight night.
“I’m a more mature fighter now. I’m a true professional. I’ve been through some things in my career that have helped me leading up to this fight. I’m well-seasoned and ready for the test.
“I’m training with my coach Manny Robles in Norwalk, California and it’s been going really well. We’re adding a few things for this fight but mostly just putting in the same hard work that we always do.
“Saya diberkati untuk berada dalam posisi ini. I feel like all my hard work is paying off now that I’m on a big card like this. I worked hard and I deserve this chance.”
JERMELL Charlo
“I’m honored to be in Brooklyn. This is another exciting fight card like the last card I was on here. I did what I had to do in April. I let the opponent run his mouth and then I took care of him. I’m going to let that happen again.
“Saya harus mengambil keuntungan dari kesempatan ini. I know that I have a lot of advantages but I just need to go seize the moment. Dia tangguh, strong fighter who’s going to be ready to take my title.
“It’s interesting to see a guy as young as he is come for a world title. I’ve been here a long time in the pro game. It’s a big stage for both of us. I’ve fought a lot of tough guys up to this point. This is what I’ve been preparing for.
“I want to fight Jarrett Hurd after this. I’d also like to get an opportunity to unify against Miguel Cotto. I want to show the old guard that the Charlo twins are as good as anyone.
“I got my hands full with Ericskon Lubin and I know he comes to fight. He’s a dog, but I’m an animal as well. I’m going to step up and do what I’ve done each time before.
“I’m doing this for Houston. Houston is going through a lot. My friends and family are all affected. It really doesn’t seem real to me. I’m ready to help however I can.”
ERICKSON LUBIN
“This is the fight I asked for. I said I wanted to go the WBC route and when it was officially announced I was really excited. I’ve been training for this since my last fight. I’m even more motivated now to go get the belt.
“I’ve been sparring with bigger guys. Guys who throw one-two combos like Jermell. I’m getting prepared mentally and physically for this fight.
“Jermell has some power. He moves pretty well, but I’ll be prepared for everything. Whether he pressures or boxes me I’ll be prepared.
“I laugh at people who say this is too soon for me. Mike Tyson was 19 when he dared to be great. This is the perfect time for me to show that I’m not a regular 21-year-old.
“This is a stacked card we have here and I’m ready to showcase my talent. I want to prove I’m the best in this division. I think we’re bringing back the era of all fighters going out there and giving it their all each time they step into the ring. I always steal the show and I’m planning to do that Bulan Oktober 14.”
JARRETT HURD
“It means everything to be defending my belt on a card like this. I fought here at Barclays Center on the Keith Thurman vs. Shawn Porter undercard so to be back here against a veteran in Austin Trout is great. I can’t wait to put on a show.
“We’re going to have two buses of fans coming up here. The ‘Swift’ fans will be in the house. It’s going to be a great atmosphere on fight night.
“In my last bout, Tony Harrison won some early rounds by boxing me, so we’ve known that my next opponent is going to try to outbox me. We expect him to move around and use the ring against me.
“This has been a long training camp. We’ve had this bout set for a long time. We’re more than prepared.
“We’ve been training to catch a ‘Trout.’ We’ll put the bait out there and let him come in. If he doesn’t take the bait, we’ll step right in the water and get him out of there.
“I’m going to keep the pressure on him. I’m planning on attacking the body and making sure I cut off the ring. He’s going to be on the move so I have to be prepared.
“My fans can expect a stoppage on Bulan Oktober 14. He’s got three losses against great opponents but none have been able to stop him. I’m going to separate myself by being the first to do it.”
AUSTIN TROUT
“This is going to put me back to where I belong. Right back on top. This is for my legacy so this is of the utmost importance.
“It’s an honor to be on a card like this. I’m blessed to be a part of this great lineup of fighters. This place is the new hotspot of boxing and I can’t wait to perform.
“Hurd is tall, he’s a big guy who I think is going to come forward. We’re preparing for the best possible Hurd that there could be.
“I’m ready to take my career to a whole new level. I’ve been in big fights, but none like this. There is so much riding on this fight. He wants to make a name for himself off of my name.
“He didn’t have to take this fight and I’m happy he did. But he messed up. I’m leaving the ring with his belt and his ‘0.’ I want to stake my claim as the best in the division.
“I’m coming home as a world champion. I’ll be a two-time world champion who’s going to unify this division. I’m going to have my hand raised at the end of the night.”
LOU DiBella, Presiden DiBella Hiburan
“This is going to be a sensational show. If you’re a boxing fan this is going to be an amazing show. It’s going to bring some clarity to the division with six talented guys matching off. It’s a boxing fan’s fight and it’s priced that way.
“What boxing needs is the best matchups. Boxing needs shows like this. These are the kind of shows that SHOWTIME has been showing for the last few years. There is no question that they’re the number one network in boxing.
“This card is about finding out who will be the last man standing in the 154-pound division. It starts on Bulan Oktober 14 and it’ll all go down on SHOWTIME.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Executive VP & Manajer Umum, SHOWTIME Olahraga
“Last week we had the world’s attention for an unprecedented event in Mayweather vs. McGregor. What this sport needs to do to continue to expand is to follow that up with high quality boxing matchups. That’s why this card is so important. It was critical that we had a top to bottom high quality card to capture those people who started paying attention to boxing on Aug. 26.
“Over the last couple of years, SHOWTIME along with Barclays Center and DiBella Entertainment have brought fans the biggest and best fights in boxing. This might be the highest quality card from top to bottom since we started working with Barclays Center.
“This tripleheader will be the 18th, 19th dan 20th world title fights this year on SHOWTIME. More than anyone else. More important and meaningful fights than anyone else. This is a talent-rich division we’ve been showcasing for years.
“I’ve never had any doubts about boxing’s future. Boxing is very healthy. All you have to do is look at these six fighters in their prime, taking on top competition. I know that this sport is in very good health.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO Brooklyn Sports & Hiburan
“It has been an incredible year for BROOKLYN BOXING. Probably the best since we opened Barclays Center. Pada Oktober, 28, we will celebrate our fifth anniversary. We’re very committed to boxing, not only showcasing the best and brightest talent, but to use it as a platform for those who aspire to get in this ring. We’re committed to their futures.
“There are a lot of championships on the line which should make it a great night. All of these fights promise to bring action to our great fans. We look forward to seeing everyone on the 14th.”

“It’s a common occurrence in Major League Baseball, the NFL and the NBA to be able to watch two or three games back-to-back on the same day, but it is rare in boxing to watch back-to-back live shows from two locations on the same day,” kata Tim Smith, VP of Communications for Haymon Boxing. “This is a unique opportunity for boxing fans to watch two separate live cards on two different networks from both U.S. coasts, featuring five world championship matches in the 126-pound and 154-pound division – two of the hottest divisions in boxing. If you’re a boxing fan you’re going to want to get your popcorn ready for October 14.”
All five of the featured championship matches hold major significance in the future for the winners.
If Santa Cruz and Mares win their respective matches, they have both agreed to terms to meet in a highly anticipated rematch and featherweight title consolidation bout in early 2018. Santa Cruz won a hard-fought, narrow decision against Mares in 2015.
The 154-pound title tripleheader features four undefeated boxers and the very best the division has to offer. The winners in each match will face each other in the future to determine which one will eventually be the undisputed 154-pound world champion.

“We are thrilled to continue our best year yet of BROOKLYN BOXING with our fifth major boxing event of 2017,” kata Brett Yormark, CEO Brooklyn Sports & Hiburan. “We always aim to deliver fight fans an evening packed with top-notch matchups from start to finish, and this card certainly does that.”
Lara, a 34-year-old Cuban southpaw, owns victories over Trout, Alfredo Angulo and a slew of former champions and top contenders in addition to a controversial split decision loss to Canelo Alvarez on the way to cementing his credentials as the top boxer in the division. Lara will make the seventh defense of his world title as he continues to train with renowned trainer Ronnie Shields.
“I’m very excited to be making another title defense back on SHOWTIME headlining a great tripleheader,” kata Lara. “This is an interesting fight versus an undefeated U.S. Olympian in Terrell Gausha. I know he will be ready because it’s his opportunity to beat the best fighter in the division and become a champion. But come fight night, he will quickly realize and know why I’m the consensus No. 1 super welterweight in the world. After this performance, I look forward to, one-by-one, adding a WBC and IBF title to my collection.”
The 29-year-old Gausha, dari Cleveland, Ohio, earned a shot at the world title with solid victories in his last two matches. He won a hard-fought decision over Steven Martinez last August and followed it up with another impressive victory over Luis Hernandez on Februari. 10. Lara figures to be his toughest battle in his pro career that dates back to 2012.
“I’ve been talking about this since I was a three-year-old watching Muhammad Ali on television,” said Gausha. “I’m here now and blessed for this opportunity. Lara’s a tough fighter, champion and the best opponent I’ll fight on paper. He’s been in with the bigger names. But the better the opponent, the better I am, and I’m coming to dethrone him. He’s crafty, but the world hasn’t seen all that I can bring to the table. I’ll make adjustments on the fly and do things that I’ve never shown before. Seeing other Olympic team members win titles gives me motivation to earn the victory and the notoriety I’ve been looking for.”
Charlo of Houston, Texas will be making the second defense of his title, which he won by knockout victory over John Jackson on May 21, 2016. The 27-year-old Charlo successfully defended the title with a highlight reel knockout victory over fellow Texan Charles Hatley onBulan April 22 di Barclays Center. He and his twin brother, Jermall, both held world titles at 154-pounds, before Jermall relinquished his title to move up to 160 pon. Charlo now trains in Dallas with Derrick James, trainer of world champion Errol Spence Jr.
“Lubin is young and hungry and I know he always comes to fight, but there’s a reason why I’m where I am in the sport,” Kata Charlo. “I’ve been through the trenches and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon. This is what boxing always needs — two young, undefeated fighters willing to risk their ‘0'. But I think it’s a little early for Lubin to step in the ring with me, and I plan on keeping my title. Bulan Oktober 14 I’ll show everyone why I’m a world champion.”
Lubin, 21, is nicknamed “Hammer yang” because of his power in both hands and his ability to bring a quick conclusion to every match. Lubin of Orlando, Fla., has picked up 10 victories since the beginning of 2015 including seven knockouts on his way to contender status. Lubin most recently scored a sensational knockout of Jorge Cota in a title eliminator in March at Barclays Center.
“This is a fight for the fans,” said Lubin. “You have an undefeated champion against an undefeated Prospect of the Year. I’m very excited to be fighting for the belt and it’s truly been a dream of mine ever since I first got into boxing. Come fight night, Charlo will either give it to me or I’m going to rip the belt out of his hands. Many fans and reporters have said that he’s one of the best, and that will make it even sweeter. My mentality will be to seek and destroy, so everyone tune-in to SHOWTIME on Bulan Oktober 14, you will witness boxing’s new superstar!”
Hurd, 26, will be making the first defense of the title that he won with a KO victory over Tony Harrison on Februari. 25. Berjuang keluar dari Accokeek, Maryland, Hurd soared up the rankings with stoppage victories over previously unbeaten fighters Frank Galarza and Oscar Molina at Barclays Center plus veteran Jo Jo Dan.
“I got a Trout to catch,” Kata Hurd. “His losses have all been to top champions Canelo Alvarez, Erislandy Lara and Jermall Charlo. But I’m on a streak of six straight knockouts and Trout has never been stopped, so I’m looking for the stoppage to make a statement that the other fighters couldn’t make. This is definitely my toughest fight, and I didn’t have to take it since it’s a voluntary defense. But I wanted this fight to stop Austin Trout, proving to the fans and people in general I’m the real deal and a true champion.”
Ikan forel, a 31-year-old southpaw from Las Cruces, New Mexico, has faced some of the top 154-pound boxers in the division. He defeated Miguel Cotto in New York to win a title in 2012 and has close losses to Canelo Alvarez and Lara on his resume. In his most recent attempt at winning the title, Trout gave Jermall Charlo perhaps the toughest test of his career after looking impressive in four straight victories leading up to the challenge.
‘What a blessing it is to have this opportunity at a world title shot,” kata Trout. “I want to thank everyone who has been in my corner to help get me career defining fights. It’s refreshing to see young champions showing heart and testing their skill with the best in the game. With thatsaid, salute to Hurd for allowing this fight to go through.”

“I know that I have a lot of fight left in me. The past 2 years were tough but that’s the business for you. I am glad to have the right team behind me, saat ini. Big things ahead,” Kata Galarza.

Galarza climbed to contender status with a limited amateur background. Nya 2014 knockout of then undefeated John Thompson gave attention to the hard punching Brooklynite who has 11 KO di 17 of his wins.

Adrian Clark of AC Sports will come in as Galarza’s primary representative but he will be joined by Frank’s former manager, AJ Galante as a special advisor.

“It wouldn’t be right if AJ was not involved. I reached out to AJ and told him that I wanted to work for Frank but he (Galante) had to be on board. I am excited to work with Notorious FG and AJ. This will be a great team effort”. Clark stated.

Clark did not specify a date of Galarza’s return but mentioned that he has been in contact with a few promoters interested in signing Galarza.

Inilah yang dikatakan para petarung setelah pertarungan mereka:
CALEB TANAMAN
“Malam ini adalah tentang tetap terkendali. Saya tidak ingin pergi ke sana dan memaksakan apa pun. Saya hanya ingin bersantai dan menetap di belakang jab saya, gunakan pingsanku, dan ambil saja bidikan yang ada untuk saya.
“Saya berharap kemenangan seperti ini membuka beberapa pintu bagi saya. Itu 168 pembagian lbs ada di saku belakang saya. Saya hanya mengambil satu pertarungan pada satu waktu dan kami akan mencapai tujuan kami.
“Pergi jauh untuk mendapatkan kemenangan atas petarung berpengalaman seperti Awimbono menunjukkan banyak tentang potensi saya. Dia pernah ke sana bersama beberapa petarung hebat, tapi saya berjuang dan mendapatkan kemenangan.
“Saya menjatuhkannya lebih awal dengan kebingungan, tapi sulit melawan pria yang tidak ingin terlibat. Anda harus mengambil apa yang mereka berikan kepada Anda. Kalau tidak, saya berisiko masuk terlalu agresif dan tertangkap basah, yang tidak bisa saya izinkan. Saya harus tetap sabar dan menemukan tempat saya.
“Saya berharap untuk pertarungan yang lebih besar setiap saat. Kami tidak ingin ada sentuhan lembut. Saya sudah mencoba berkelahi dengan beberapa prospek teratas, orang-orang dengan beberapa judul kecil, tapi mereka tidak mau melawan. Saya tidak bisa membiarkan itu mengganggu saya, karena saya tahu saya berisiko tinggi untuk orang-orang ini. Mungkin di awal karir saya, tapi saya bisa membuat penyesuaian dan melakukan semuanya.”
TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR
“Sangat berarti untuk mendapatkan kemenangan seperti itu melawan petarung tangguh dalam waktu singkat.
“Kami mencari KO jauh lebih awal, tapi Gemini sangat tangguh malam ini. Dia menunjukkan banyak hati, tapi alhamdulillah menang.
“Meskipun ini adalah beban yang lebih berat daripada yang biasa aku lawan, Saya tidak punya masalah menangani ukurannya.
“Bertarung dengan kartu seperti ini di FS1 dan FOX Deportes berarti dunia bagiku. Ini adalah kesempatan besar untuk menunjukkan keahlian saya.
“Saya ingin siapa pun yang mereka tempatkan di depan saya selanjutnya. Saya akan menghadapi siapa pun.”
JHON GANDA
“Saya tidak mencoba membuat alasan, tapi kami melakukan pertarungan ini dalam waktu yang sangat singkat. Saya sangat frustrasi dengan penampilan saya malam ini.
“Saya akan melakukan semua yang saya bisa untuk mendapatkan pertarungan lagi di AS. dan aku berjanji untuk selalu memberikan segalanya. Saya harap para penggemar menikmati pertarungan kami malam ini.
“Saya bersedia melawan siapa pun, Saya hanya berharap saya punya lebih banyak waktu untuk mempersiapkan Nyambayar.”

In front of a crowd of 12,346 penggemar, Wilder mampu memberikan kemenangan gemilang kepada penonton negara bagian asalnya. Meskipun Washington mencuri beberapa putaran awal, Kesabaran Wilder terbayar saat ia mampu menemukan langkahnya dan menyelesaikan Washington di ronde kelima.
Dalam pembuka televisi yang terik, Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 Biaya) berhenti sebelumnya tak terkalahkan Izuagbe Ugonoh (17-1, 14 Biaya). Ugonoh mengendalikan pertarungan lebih awal dengan mendaratkan pukulan berat ke tubuh dan kepala Breazeale, tapi Breazeale mampu menenangkan diri dan menyerbu kembali untuk melumpuhkan Ugonoh dengan cara yang mengesankan.
Acara co-main menampilkan Jarrett Hurd (20-0, 14 Biaya) mengalahkan Tony Harrison (24-2, 20 Biaya) di ronde kesembilan kontes mereka.
Inilah yang dikatakan para petarung setelah pertarungan mereka:
DEONTAY WILDER
“Saya tahu dia akan datang dengan bersemangat untuk memperjuangkan gelar dunia. Saya tetap tenang dan menemukan ritme saya. Saya benar-benar tahu dia akan lelah, dan ketika dia melakukannya, saya mengambil keuntungan.
“Itu semua tentang waktu. Saya sangat pintar dalam hal menggunakan taktik yang berbeda di atas ring.
“Berjuang di sini di Alabama adalah berkah. Orang-orang di sini muncul untuk mendukung saya dan saya mencintai mereka karenanya. Saya akan selalu mendukung dan berada di sini untuk keluarga Alabama saya. Melihat respon penonton malam ini sangat berarti bagiku.
“Seperti yang saya katakan, Saya ingin menyatukan divisi. Saya pikir sangat penting untuk memiliki satu petarung dan satu juara, dan itu Deontay Wilder. Mari berharap Joseph Parker siap untuk saya karena saya pasti siap untuknya.”
GERALD WASHINGTON
“Saya hanya sedikit tidak sabar. Saya mencoba untuk melakukannya. Itu adalah pertandingan tinju yang seimbang. Saya bisa menyimpannya seperti itu dan membuatnya membosankan. Saya tidak tahu mengapa saya tertidur di sana. Kurasa aku kehilangan sedikit fokus.
“Saya menangkapnya dengan satu tembakan ketika dia masuk. Tapi alih-alih saya mempertahankan permainan itu dan terus mendorongnya kembali dan membuatnya tetap memegang kendali dengan membuatnya tetap berada di tengah ring, Saya mencoba untuk mendapatkan dia. Saya mencoba memainkan peran counter punch kecil dan menangkapnya masuk. Dia baru saja menangkapku.
“Itu hanya sebuah pengalaman. Anda harus mengikuti rencana permainan dan tetap fokus, tetap sabar. Anda mungkin tidak mendapatkan semua bidikan yang Anda inginkan di awal, tetapi Anda harus memainkan permainan sepenuhnya dan kemudian hal-hal akan mulai terjadi.”
JARRETT HURD
“Kami ingin meluangkan waktu bersamanya karena Harrison dapat bertinju dan bergerak. Tapi setiap kali dia bertarung, dia lelah sampai akhir.
“Selama ronde keenam, dia menangkap saya dengan tembakan bagus di mata kiri saya. Tapi saya berhasil melawannya dan mendapatkan kemenangan.
“Senang rasanya menjadi juara. Saya tidak pernah merasa sehebat ini sebelumnya. Ini kekuatan Accokeek murni. Saya akhirnya bisa menarik celana saya sekarang. Celanaku jatuh, tapi akhirnya saya mendapatkan sabuk saya.”
DOMINIC Breazeale
“Butuh sedikit waktu bagi saya untuk menemukan kecepatan saya, tapi akhirnya saya menemukan Irama saya. Izu datang dalam kondisi sangat baik dan dengan senjata yang menyala-nyala. Dia mendatangi saya dengan beberapa hal yang tidak saya duga. Dia menjadi pria yang lebih ringan, saya tidak benar-benar mengharapkan kekuatan yang dia miliki.
“Saya dapat menghubungkan beberapa bidikan besar malam ini, apalagi dengan tangan kananku. Anda lihat apa yang terjadi ketika saya menjatuhkannya dan dia tidak pernah benar-benar pulih.
“Setelah kalah dari Joshua, this win puts me right back in there. This is what I’ve always asked for. My team does an incredible job of getting me any fight I ask for, and I wanted to fight an undefeated guy like Izu. Dia besar, kuat, athletic guy.
“Malam Ini, the story was about me having the heart of a lion, getting knocked down, but getting right back up to finish this fight.”
IZUAGBE UGONOH
“I expected that I was going to knock him out. I believed I would accomplish that, but he didn’t surprise me with anything. I was landing some good shots to both his body and his face.
“Breazeale showed a lot of heart though, and I think that his experience really helped him. I think a fight like Anthony Joshua really helped him realize that he could take anything and win the fight. He did that tonight.
“Dengan Jujur, I just got tired. Saya memberinya apa yang saya miliki dan kemudian saya lelah. Ketika dia kembali padaku, aku tidak bisa mengikuti dan menyelesaikan rencana permainanku.
“Rencananya adalah untuk benar-benar menggunakan pukulan gandaku, dan saya tidak membuat alasan apapun. This is the fight game. Ini adalah kesempatan besar bagi saya, langkah besar, dan saya berharap untuk menyelesaikannya. Saya tidak, tapi itu bagian dari olahraga. Aku tidak terbiasa kalah, tapi waktu itu datang hari ini. Aku masih orang yang berbahaya untuk dilawan.”

Berikut adalah apa yang para pejuang harus mengatakan Hari Kamis:
DEONTAY WILDER
“My time off has allowed me to get a better relationship with my left hand. There are so many different ways to throw a jab that I didn’t think I could do. Working with one arm allowed me to be exposed to a lot of new things. It’s going to be a different Deontay Wilder in the ring.
“Ini merupakan perjalanan bagi saya. I know there’s a purpose to all of it and there’s a reason why I’m here and why I’m the champ. Everything has manifested my way.
“This is a fantastic card pada hari Sabtu night and I know these other guys can’t wait to get into the ring.
“Hari Sabtu night is going to be an electric fight. I love my state and I love being able to come back to Alabama. Home is where my heart is. It feels good to continue to give back.
“I’m overwhelmed. I’m so ready for this fight. Everyone has a story to tell. Everything that has happened with my opponents is in the past. I’m in love with this sport. I have a goal to reach in this sport and I will reach it.
“I always put myself in the position of my opponents and think about if that was me. That’s why I have so much passion for this sport and I give it my all. I don’t want to end up like my opponents. I don’t want to see what those lights looks like from the bottom.
“I want people to look back on my legacy and see that it was a long journey. I’ve paved the way for my city and my state. I’ve laid the bread crumbs and now people can follow.
“When my first opponent dropped out, the first name that came to my mind was Gerald Washington. I appreciate the way he conducted himself. Every time I saw him, he always shook my hand and told me he was ready.
“I know Gerald is excited. I was too. I know what it’s like to be able to fight for one of the most prestigious belts in the world. Tapi, it’s my belt. I’m still enjoying it. Even though I’m heavyweight champion of the world, I’m still humble. I keep the belt in its case, until it’s time for me to fight again. I’m not satisfied. There is still more to attain.”
GERALD WASHINGTON
“I’ve had an incredible run to get me hear. I’m thankful to Deontay for picking me for this fight. He could have chosen a lot of opponents, tapi dia memilihku dan aku bersyukur untuk itu.
“Ini adalah mimpi yang menjadi kenyataan. Saya mulai bertinju sejak kecil tetapi saya tidak tahu apa yang ingin saya lakukan. Saya sudah memiliki jalan yang panjang, tapi sekarang saya di sini berjuang untuk kejuaraan kelas berat dunia. Ini sangat berarti bagiku.
“Pelatih saya John Pullman dan saya mulai bekerja sama dan kami telah melewati setiap rintangan. Ini kerja keras tetapi kami bekerja bersama dan sekarang kami di sini. Itulah hidup ini semua tentang. Anda harus mengambil risiko dan kapan waktunya, saatnya untuk menangani bisnis Anda. Ini waktuku dan aku siap.
“Saya sangat senang bisa melakukan apa yang saya sukai. Saya akan melawan Deontay Wilder, pengebom perunggu, di halaman belakang rumahnya. Anda tidak dapat mengambil apa yang telah dia capai. Tapi saya di sini untuk menangani bisnis saya.
“Saya mencoba hidup sebagai juara dan sekarang adalah kesempatan saya untuk menjadi juara. Saya akan mengambil kesempatan ini dan mengambilnya.”
TONY HARRISON
“Sebagai pesaing, Saya sudah bersemangat tentang pertarungan ketika mereka memanggil saya tentang melawan Hurd. Saya langsung menjawab ya. Nama Jarett Hurd disebutkan setiap kali Anda menyebutkan divisi 154 pon. Saya memulai ini dengan keinginan untuk menjadi yang terbaik dan melakukan itu, Saya harus mengalahkan yang terbaik.
“Itu adalah pertarungan bagi saya yang langsung saya lompat. Ketika saya mendapat telepon bahwa itu akan menjadi pertarungan gelar, Saya tahu bahwa ini akan menjadi pertarungan warisan.
“Saya pikir kami memiliki rasa saling menghormati menuju pertarungan ini. Dia menghormati saya sama seperti saya menghormatinya. Tapi Hari Sabtu malam, I’m looking to gain my respect as a fighter. For both of us, I think a lot of questions have been raised about who we’ve fought. These questions are answered pada hari Sabtu malam.
“This is a fight where you have to respect both fighters. The city of Detroit is coming out to see me bring this world title home and I’m sure Maryland is expecting the same from Hurd. It’s going to be a great atmosphere.
“From the time that I started at six-years-old, this day has been the pot at the end of the rainbow. I’m fighting a great fighter for a great belt in a great weight class.
“I just have to go out there and take it one round at a time. I believe that I have too much in the arsenal. I can’t get too excited, even if I see an opening to stop the fight, Saya akan melakukannya dengan cara yang cerdas. Saya siap untuk pergi 12 putaran tetapi jika saya melihat kesempatan saya, Aku akan membawanya.
“Saya ingin melanjutkan warisan. Ini akan menjadi pertarungan yang luar biasa. Saya suka Deontay, tapi saya ingin mencuri perhatian. Ini adalah divisi terbaik dalam tinju. Saya keluar dengan keras dan saya tahu lawan saya juga. Kami berdua siap untuk mempertaruhkan segalanya demi gelar juara dunia ini.”
JARRETT HURD
“Kami senang ketika kami pertama kali bertarung dengan Tony Harrison dan kami bahkan lebih bersemangat ketika kami tahu itu akan menjadi gelar juara dunia. Ini adalah impian setiap juara dan saya mendapatkan peluang besar di jaringan besar. Semua orang bisa melihat siapa Jarrett Hurd.
“Ini berarti segalanya. Tetap tak terkalahkan adalah sesuatu yang membuka banyak pintu untukmu. Saya dalam pertarungan kualitas jadi saya melakukan sesuatu dengan baik. Saya memiliki lawan hebat lainnya di depan saya, tetapi pada Februari 25 Saya akan menjadi juara dunia.
“Kami memiliki kamp pelatihan panjang yang sangat bagus. Saya tidak perlu melakukan sesuatu yang terlalu drastis untuk menambah berat badan. Saya seorang petarung besar untuk divisi ini tetapi saya tidak pernah memiliki masalah dengan berat badan. Saya tidak sabar untuk naik ring.
“Ayah saya lahir di Birmingham, Alabama jadi bisa mendapatkan gelar juara dunia saya di sini sangat menyenangkan bagi seluruh keluarga saya. Ini adalah pertarungan besar bagi saya. Saya telah berlatih keras dan saya siap untuk itu.
“Saya ingin pertarungan ini menjawab banyak pertanyaan. Beberapa orang mengatakan saya bukan yang tercepat atau saya tidak memiliki pertahanan yang cukup. Saya ingin menjadi petarung yang tak terkalahkan tetapi saya juga ingin membangun warisan. Saya ingin berada di platform dengan yang terbaik. I think this fight will give me that credibility.
“The jab is going to be really important. Tony Harrison has a really nice jab and the winner of the jab battle is going to be victorious. My jab and taking away his jab is going to win the fight for me.”
“Waktu saya di sini. There will be a new 154-pound champion pada hari Sabtu malam. My pants are falling down and I need my belt!”
DOMINIC Breazeale
“It’s great to be back on this stage. I’m ready to come back and show my boxing skills. Deontay and Gerald are going to put on a great show and I’m excited to be a part of it.
“My opponent is definitely an unknown character. We prepared for everything to get ready for a guy that will move a lot. It’s big for him to be fighting on a big card like this for his first U.S. pertarungan. I’m glad he took the fight.
“I just need to be a pressure fighter. I’ve been down and gotten up. Aku sudah di sana dengan yang terbaik. I can’t let him get comfortable. I’m going to bring him a kind of fight he’s never seen before.
“I’ve been training hard with Manny Robles and we’ve done some phenomenal things over the last 10 minggu. I’ve been on the big stage and I’m ready to do it again. I feel good and I’m prepared put on a show.”
IZUAGBE UGONOH
“I’ve been training in Las Vegas for three years and I’m very excited to make my U.S. debut Hari Sabtumalam. It’s a great opportunity and I’m glad to get a big fight straight away against a good former title challenger who is also an Olympian. I couldn’t have wished for anything better than this.
“Saya telah menyaksikan banyak pertarungan Dominic, bahkan sebelum aku tahu aku akan melawannya. Kami tahu apa yang dia kuasai dan kami tahu di mana dia membuat kesalahan. Semua mitra pelatihan saya lebih tinggi dari saya, jadi aku nyaman bertarung melawan orang-orang besar.
“Bagi saya, ini segalanya. Jika Anda seorang pejuang dan Anda berlatih keras untuk menjadi juara, maka inilah tahap yang ingin Anda capai. Ketika Anda sampai di sini, pertanyaannya adalah, apakah kamu nyaman dengannya?? Saya selalu percaya bahwa ini adalah tempat saya berada dan sekarang saya memiliki kesempatan. Sekarang saya hanya ingin bersenang-senang dan melakukan yang terbaik.
“Saya pikir ini akan menjadi pertarungan yang sangat eksplosif. Saya dalam kondisi terbaik yang pernah saya alami. Saya bersiap untuk Dominic Breazeale yang lebih baik daripada yang melawan Joshua. I think it’s going to be a beautiful night.
“My road has been very rocky. Saya telah berjuang di seluruh dunia, but everything happens for a reason and happens at the right time. The time is now for me.”
CALEB TANAMAN
“I’ve had a great camp. I know everyone says that, but this really has been my most productive camp. I’ve had great sparring since I moved to Las Vegas. It’s going to be fireworks pada hari Sabtu.
“I know my opponent has been in there with some tough guys. Dia tidak pernah berhenti. That’s what we want. Soft touches won’t get me to where I’m headed. This is my closest fight to my hometown of Nashville since I turned pro so I’m expecting a lot of support.
“I’m not here to take the easy road. Saatnya saya sekarang. This is a great opportunity and I think it’s going to be a great fight. I’m excited to get in the ring.
“Coming from where I came from, all of this is surreal. My hard work got me here. I’m blessed to be here and I feel like I deserve it.
“Everything went so smoothly during camp and now it’s time to put it together in the ring. I’ve always been able to show out when the pressure’s on.
“I’m looking to win and win in impressive fashion. I’m going to have a strong defense but I’ll have to put the heat on him. This is the kind of pressure I love.
“I want big fights. I’m focused on getting myself better every day. I have a great team around me and I feel like I can beat anybody.”
