Beibu SHUMENOV

 

“B.J. is a strong guy but he was lunging while I was scoring points. I’m still in the learning process and I’m more comfortable as a cruiserweight.

 

Boxing is an art. I used my skills, positioning, angles and footwork to win the fight.

 

I feel blessed, I have a strong team that is like one. Without them I wouldn’t have won the fight te po nei.

 

I followed the instructions from my corner and thought I won the fight clearly.

 

I had extra motivation to make history. I first did that when I wont the light heavyweight title in 10 fights and now I’m the first person from my country to win world titles in two different division. I’m very proud of that.

 

Denis Lebedev is my main target. But I want to fight all the best and most dangerous cruiserweights in the world.

 

B.J. OMAHA

 

“Beibut always comes forward, he’s very tough, but tonight he ran the whole night. It’s tough to win a fight when the guy is trying to run in circles.

 

“My punches were crisp and effective and I hurt him. He had nothing on his punches and never hurt me.

 

“I wobbled him in the twelfth round and then I went in to rush him. He kept moving back though.

 

“You have to want to fight. PBC is about guys wanting to fight. Ko te aha te reira katoa e pā ana ki.

 

“I’m ready to get back in the ring, I’m fine. It was difficult to catch up with him because he wanted to move around so much.

 

“I learned in those last few rounds that even though he was moving around so much, I could pick up the tempo and bring the fight to him.

 

“You can’t fight a guy who isn’t trying to engage. You have to fight to win the fight. He was throwing jabs while I was trying to hurt him.

 

I’m so thankful to all my fans who came out tonight, I wouldn’t be anywhere without them. Ka whakahokia e ahau. Beibut, I want the rematch.

 

Isiah THOMAS

 

I think I did well in there. I listened to my corner and was able to land punches.

 

I used my defense, my eyes and most importantly I listened to my corner. I should have thrown some more punches, but I wanted to stay on the outside and use angles.

 

I knew it was going to be a close fight, he came very hard and I had to be at my best. Me and my team were able to get it done.

 

I feel great about representing Detroit boxing. I want to carry on the legendary legacy of Kronk Gym and just keep working.

 

This win is huge for my career. Being on the national stage was a great experience for me.

 

I want to get back in the ring as soon as possible. I’m going to get back in the gym and get with my team but I’ll be back soon.

 

Horano SHIMMELL

 

I thought it was a closer fight than the judges had it. Nothing he did surprised me, Mohio ahau i haere te reira ki te waiho i te whawhai uaua.

 

I just have to be even more prepared. Ko ia he toa nui, I thought it was closer. But he’s a great fighter.

 

“Au te pai ahau, I’m going to come back.

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO

 

I trained very hard for this fight and I was just listening to the corner and we saw that the overhand was open and I connected on it.

 

I’ve improved a lot since my loss and I come into each fight better and better. I’m more confident in my preparation and I have a great fight plan.

 

I’m very excited about this victory. We worked so hard for this fight. I hope that boxing will take Dominican fighters a little more seriously. There are currently two Dominican world champions and I want to be the third.

 

I want to fight the best of the best. Whoever it is, Ahau rite”

 

ANDREW TABITI

 

I stayed disciplined tonight. It was a good test tonight and I’m just ready to get back to work.

 

I was a little disappointed I couldn’t get the knockout but I felt really good in there. Hats off to my opponent, he was tough and could really take a punch.

 

I hurt him in the last round and he was holding me, but he was able to stay on his feet. I’m still going to knock guys out but I wanted to show the world I have the talent to go in there and box.

 

I hope that I left everyone entertained and I’m going to keep on working hard and go from there.
