Here’s what Andrade, who’ll also be risking his WBO International title, teica Pirmdiena:
Demetrius ANDRADE
Reflections of Muhammad Ali:
“Muhammad Ali certainly shook the world, and not only in boxing. He was colorful; nobody talked like him. He helped boxers, pārāk. Ali is the reason Floyd (Mayweather, Jr.) is who he is because Ali set the bar high.
“As an entertaining boxer, Ali brought blacks and whites together and later he spread the word about religion, culture and his other diverse interests.
“What young boxer didn’t do the Ali Shuffle? I know I did, and taunted my opponents like him, too.”
About Pros in the Olympics:
“I’m for pros in the Olympics as long as an amateur, who has a few Olympic trials, has the first opportunity to qualify for the Olympics. Coming up in the amateurs, I fought grown men, some who had been Olympians a few times. Es biju 21 and some of the opponents were 34-35 and had already been Olympians one or two times. They had advantages in experience, jauda un prasme. Diemžēl, Americans only have Olympic opportunities when they’re young amateurs.
“Would I go the Olympics now? Jā! The Olympics is the biggest thing on the planet. To represent the United States again, yeah, I’d do it now for the chance to win gold. But I do think headgear should be applied in amateur boxing, including the Olympics.”
On the 154-pound division:
“I’m putting myself in the best position to fight for the WBO or WBC title. There are rumors of Canelo fighting (WBO champion Liam) Stiprs sitiens. Let me fight Smith and the winner gets Canelo. Or let me fight Canelo with the winner getting Smith.
“I’m going to knock out the Charlo twins. Both guys have fought on SHOWTIME, so those fights shouldn’t be too difficult to make. Once I take care of business with the Charlo twins, I’ll fight Lara (WBA champion) to clean up the division.”
On Gennady Golovkin:
“I definitely want to fight Golovkin. Let me build myself up first, by cleaning out the 154-division, and then we’ll have a mega-fight with two different styles. GGG is known for his knockouts. I knock out people, pārāk, but I’m a better boxer than him. It’ll be one of the biggest fights in the sport of boxing. I’m going to clean up the 154-division, make my reputation and then it’s a go with GGG.”
Relationship with his opponent Willie Nelson:
“We were in the U.S. amateurs together, but because we were in two different weight classes – he was 140-147 un es biju 152 – there were no problems between us. We used to watch each other fight and watch other Americans box.
“Nelson is experienced having gone through the amateurs. He fought (Vānes) Martirosyan, who I beat (for the vacant WBO title by 12-round unanimous decision). He’s fought at this level. I know he’s tall, but I’m 6-foot-1, so our height difference isn’t serious.”
On returning to the ring:
“I’m pleased that we have this opportunity. SHOWTIME has given me this chance and now it’s up to me to prove I can backup what we said.”

21 gadus vecais Scardina nāk no Rozzano, pilsēta ir mazāks par 40,000 cilvēki Milānas provinces. Viņš sāka boksa in 2008 gadu vecumā 16, sekojot sava onkuļa pēdās, kurš bija bokseris tajā laikā, kā arī Daniele lomu modeli.
Scardina, kas bija 56 amatieru bouts, Uzņemtie augstākos apbalvojumus daudzās Itālijas turnīriem, ieskaitot Rovereto Nacionālās, National Silver Glove, un divi Valsts Golden Gloves. Viņš arī ieguva bronzas medaļu starptautiskā pasākumā.
Uz 2013, viņš liekami uz Italia Thunder boksa komanda World Series of Boxing, uzvarot savu vienīgo maču pret Vācijas pretinieku.
Scardina pirmais nozvejotas seip uzmanību uz pasaules slaveno 5th St. Gym in Miami Beach, sākotnēji atklāja 1950 līdz Chris Dundee, un mājas neskaitāmu pasaules čempioniem ir jāapmāca, ieskaitot Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston un Willie Pep. Bagāts tradīcija turpinās pie jaunā 5th St. Sporta zāle, Netālu atrodas at 1434 Alton Street, kur top cīnītāji no visas pasaules, piemēram, Bernard Hopkins vēl apmācīt.
“Es pirmo reizi redzēju viņu apmācību laikā 5th St. Gym un viņš izskatījās kā tipisks amatieru,” Seip paskaidroja. “Viņš nometa plašas perforatori un nezināja, kā mest labu durt. Trainers Guy Laieta un Dino Spencer sāka strādāt ar viņu, un tagad viņš ir, izmantojot savu redzesloku, cīņai pret attāluma, un throwing kombinācijas Jabs un āķi. Viņš ir kaislīgs par boksa, klausīšanās un mācīšanās katru dienu. Daniele ir labas rokas ātrumu un jaudu. Viņš ir skaists mazulis, pārāk. Es redzēju kaut ko viņā, nemateriālie, un nolēma parakstīt viņu.

“Es vienmēr esmu gribējis būt čempions Amerikā,” Scardina teica. “Tas ir amerikāņu sapnis par mani. Es domāju, ka man būs lieliska iespēja šajā valstī būt lielākais bokseris varu būt ar pareizo palīdzību. Jānis Seip ir tiesības vadītājs par mani, jo viņš uzskata, ka mēs varam pasaules čempionāts kopā kā komanda.”
Scardina mīļākie bokseri ir Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux un Miguel Cotto. “Es esmu strādā pie pilnību kā ārpus cīnītājs un galvenajiem manas rokas tuvāk,” Scardina pievienotās. Es esmu cīnās, lai kļūtu par pasaules čempionu.”
