Philadelphia (April 1, 2015) – As fight week nears for the second installment of Te Pirimia mekemeke Champions i runga i NBC (8:30 pm ET/5:30 p.m. PT), superstar tūturu Danny “Swift” Garcia held a media workout in his hometown of Philadelphia in preparation for his showdown with fellow world champion Lamont Peterson i runga i Rāhoroi, April 11 i Center Barclays i Brooklyn.

Check out what Garcia and his father and trainer Angel had to say i runga i te Wenerei.

 

Danny Garcia

 

“Whakangungu kei te pai te haere, I’ve done everything I have to do and I’m still focused. It’s a week and a half until the fight and I’m ready to go. If the fight were apopo I’d be ready.

 

It’s a big fight and it’s the fight that the fans wanted. We’re going to give the fans a great night of boxing on NBC and it’s time the show the world that Danny Garcia is the star of NBC.

 

We have common opponents like Khan and Matthysse and we’ve had different results. They say styles make fights so those results don’t matter. Well, my style is to kick his butt.

 

I know that this second PBC on NBC show is going to be even bigger and I just feel blessed to be a part of it and I can’t wait to go out there and showcase my skills.

 

I’m ready for whatever Peterson brings. If he tries to box then I’m going to go with that and if he wants to fight, I’ll be ready. I’m not going to go in and just try to knock his head off, I’m going to be Danny Garcia.

 

I’d love to be fighting on the biggest stage in boxing against the Mayweather and Pacquiaos, but for now it’s just about taking it one fight at a time, this is history in the making.

 

A lot of things have changed for me in the last few years, everybody knows me now. A lot of people look at you different now but it doesn’t make my head bigger, it just motivates me to work hard.

 

I love Brooklyn, it’s my fourth fight at Barclays Center and I’m looking to make it 4-0 i runga i April 11.

 

This is a blessing for the sport of boxing. Millions of fans haven’t had the opportunity to watch boxing on primetime in years and this is great for the sport.

 

Anahera Garcia

 

I’ll give Peterson credit for putting the gloves on. He thinks it’s going to be an easy night for him. He sees himself already on top of the mountain. It’s not going to happen like that, we’re going to ruin his party.

 

I want Peterson to act confident and come forward. They’re talking like Danny isn’t special but he lost to the guys we beat.

 

It doesn’t matter what anyone says as long as Danny is in here putting in 100 percent every day. It’s all about April 11.

 

We’re not going to train for eight weeks to go in there and worry about what Peterson is going to do, we’re going to do what we have to do. We train to go in there and win on April 11.”

Te Kuititanga, Quebec (April 1, 2015) – During Wednesday o final press conference at Le Bonne Entente in Quebec City, both A Tamutu “Superman” Stevenson a Sakio “Ko te Scorpion” Taurus promised a knockout when they meet in the main event of the debut presentation of Te Pirimia mekemeke Champions (PBC) i runga i CBSTelevision Network this Saturday, April 4, i 3 p.m. AND/Poutumarotanga PT.

 

The hard-hitting Stevenson (25-1, 21 Koó) will defend his light heavyweight world championship against former super middleweight world champion Bika (32-6-3, 21 Koó) in the main event from the Pepsi Coliseum i roto i te Quebec City.

 

The case was the same with the co-main event fighters as both undefeated light heavyweight and two-time Russian Olympian Artur Beterbiev (7-0, 7 Koó) and former light heavyweight world champion Gabriel Campillo (25-6-1, 12 Koó) expected to win via KO tenei Rāhoroi ahiahi. Campillo, sporting a Tom Brady jersey, even promised he would win in dramatic fashion like this year’s Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots.

 

Below are quotes from the fighters and trainers from Wednesday o press amuiraa:

 

A Tamutu STEVENSON:

I know Sakio is going to try to take my title, but I’m prepared for that.

 

I know he was a champion. I made the move from 168 ki 175 pounds and it worked well for me. I expect him to bring his best at 175 pauna. He’s a former champ so I’m preparing to face a champion.

 

I’m looking for the KO because I’m from the Kronk Gym. Knockouts sell. But I can go 12 rauna, that’s not a problem. I train for 12 rauna.

 

My trainer has given me a great plan. He knows Sakio Bika very well and we’ll see what happens in the ring.

 

Bika is still going to have the same power moving up in weight. He should actually be stronger.

 

I’m very focused because I know Bika is very dangerous. I know he’s going to come into the ring and try to give me trouble.

 

I’m a knockout artist. I can do a lot in the ring, but first and foremost I’m a knockout artist.

 

I’d love to unify the belts eventually, but I’ll let my manager Al Haymon take care of that.

 

My mentor Emanuel Steward always told me that as soon as I enter the ring the knockout is what sells. I’ll definitely be going for the knockout tenei Rāhoroi on CBS.

 

I’m ready to go toe-to-toe. Adonis Stevenson vs. Sakio Bika on CBS, baby.

 

 

Saki puru:

To beat a great fighter you have to be your best. I’m looking to take the WBC title back home.

 

I’ve fought everyoneI’ve never ducked an opponentand I don’t know if he can handle the pressure.

 

I feel more comfortable at 175 pauna. I want to test the big boy [Stevenson] and I feel like I can do that. I te Rāhoroi we’ll see.

 

He’s knocked people out, engari kua kore e ahau i te patototanga i. I te Rāhoroi I’ll be the one to knock him out.

 

I’m very hungry to get a world title back. I trained very hard at light heavyweight to get a title back.

 

I didn’t come here to Canada just to walk and look around. I came here to take this belt back home and I’m very confident I’m going to do that.

 

Training camp went very well, we put in good work and now we’re here in Canada ready to shock the world.

 

 

JAVANSUGARHILL:

Training camp was very good as always. Nothing different, just hard work perfecting his boxing and the basic fundamentals. We’re looking for him to make a mistake and catch him.

 

The way you prepare for an unorthodox fighter like Bika is to make sure your basics are sound. You have to have a good jab, you have to have good movement and you have to have ‘super powerAnd I have “Superman.

 

Emanuel also told me the knockout sells. It’s something that we both know and it’s something that is imbedded in us. We’re looking for the knockout on April 4. Sometimes I see things that Adonis is looking to do before he does it. So I’ll just be sitting there waiting for Adonis to catch Sakio Bika making a mistake and getting a knockout.

 

I’m super proud to represent Kronk Gym. That’s why I wear my hat here. Kronk to me is like my family name and that’s what I live by. I was born into Kronk when I was a little kid going to a tournament with my uncle Emanuel and all I remember is the Kronk fighters winning. And that’s what I do now: toa.

 

Adonis is an artist, he’s a KO artist. Toku matapae mō Rāhoroi is a knockout on CBS.

 

There’s been a lot of talk and now it’s time for action. Toe-to-toe on April 4. Kaua e ngaro i te reira.”

 

 

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM:

“I matou i te puni whakangungu nui. Everyone was relaxed. We had great sparring.

 

He was making 168 pretty easy, but stepping up he’s able to eat whatever he wants. The weight is good. We think he’s going to be good and strong at 175. It’s a good move for him.

 

He’s never had any problems with power, so I think the extra weight and energy should be good for him at light heavyweight.

 

All this talk about Stevenson fighting (Sergey) Kovalev has motivated him pretty good. I think it gave him a pretty good picture of how the business of boxing works. He realizes that when the bell rings he needs to do something about it and he’s motivated by that.

 

I can’t say if Stevenson is overlooking him because I’m not around him enough. But I know the fans and media want to make the Kovalev fight. It was good for Bika to hear that because it motivated him. He knows he has an opportunity to do something about it. I te Rāhoroi afternoon he can change all that.

 

If Stevenson does what he says he’s going to domeet him in the center of the ring and go toe-to-toethis is going to be a tremendous fight.

 

If he comes to the center of the ring and fights and goes toe-to-toe then this fight won’t go the distance. If Stevenson comes to trade I think he gets knocked out. If he runs around the ring and boxes then it could be a different outcome.

 

 

Artur BETERBIEV:

I don’t think this is a big challenge for me. I’m ready to face the world champions and raise the bar higher. This is just another opponent for me.

 

This is another step that will move me closer to facing the champions at 175 pauna. I want to put on a solid fight and show that I’m one of the best fighters in this division.

 

A knockout is never a goal for me. I’m trying to show my work and my dedication in the ring, but usually that’s what happens. Usually I finish with a knockout but that is not my main goal. My main goal is to box and show my skills.

 

My motivation is to face the champions. That’s why I work so hard every day in the gym. I will get there soon.

 

Why not face Kovalev? Ahau rite. When I turned professional my goal was to meet the champions. He’s a champion now and I’d like to face the champions.

 

 

Gabriel Campillo:

We started training Jan. 1 and camp has been very good. We’ve been working very hard and I think I’m in great condition for this fight.

 

Beterbiev may not have a lot of professional experience, but he’s had a very long amateur career. So we know that he’s ready and is a good opponent for us. We’ll see how he handles things once we get past the 5th, 6th a 7th rauna.

 

To get ready for a hard-hitter like Beterbiev required lots of conditioning training. We worked the neck and the chin a lot. We think we’ve got a great chance in the second half of this fight though considering Beterbiev hasn’t really been tested like that.

 

As for a prediction, I’m going to knock Beterbiev out in the seventh round.

FORMER WORLD CHAMPIONS OMAR FIGUEROA AND RICKY BURNS BATTLE IN SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT MAIN EVENT AS PBC ON CBS RETURNS SATURDAY, MAY 9

BANTAMWEIGHT TITLEHOLDERS TOMOKI KAMEDA

AND JAMIE MCDONNELL CLASH IN CO-MAIN EVENT

Live on CBS, Kia 9 i 4 p.m. AND/1 p.m. PT

Hidalgo, Texas (April 1, 2015) – Exciting and undefeated former lightweight world champion Omar “Panterita” Figueroa (24-0-1, 18 Koó) will take on former two-division world champion Ricky Burns (37-4-1, 11 Koó) in the main event when Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) returns to CBS on Rāhoroi, Kia 9 (4 p.m. AND, 1 p.m. PT), at the State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas.

 

I roto i te hui tahi-matua, a pair of bantamweight world champions square off when Tomoki Kameda (31-0, 19 Koó) whawhai Jamie McDonnell (25-2-1, 12 Koó).

He tikiti mo te hui ora i runga i te hoko inaianei, me te e utu i $150, $100, $75, $50, a $25, e kore e tae atu utu ratonga hāngai, me te takoha. E wātea ana i ngā tīkiti www.ticketmaster.com or at the State Farm Arena Box Office. Ki te ki atu tenei na roto i te waea, karanga Ticketmaster i (800) 745-3000.

 

I am so excited to be bringing this huge event to my hometown,” Said Figueroa. “It is my dream to fight on such a big stage and bring this kind of attention to Hidalgo. My fans have supported me from day one, and I plan on showing them how grateful I am with a stellar performance on Kia 9.”

 

“E kore e taea e ahau te tatari mo tenei whawhai. Ever since it was confirmed I’ve been absolutely buzzing in the gym,” said Burns. “I’ve had some great nights in Scotland winning and defending my world titles at two different weights but I have always wanted to box in America. Our styles gel perfectly for one hell of a fight, neither of us take a step backbring on Kia 9!”

 

This will be a home game for Figueroa, who will be making his initial start at 140 pounds after a hard-fought ninth-round knockout over Daniel Estrada in a slugfest last August. The 25-year-old Figueroa vacated his 135-pound belt after that defense. He became a champion in 2013 when he earned a unanimous 12-round decision over Nihito Arakawa in a brutal Fight of the Year battle. Figueroa, despite fighting with a cut on his nose from an accidental head-butt, registered two knockdowns in the memorable slugfest. Since then Figueroa defended his title twice, first with a split-decision victory over Jerry Belmontes and later with a ninth-round knockout against Daniel Estrada. Now the Weslaco, Texas native will move up in weight when he battles Burns on Kia 9.

 

An experienced fighter and former two-division world champion out of Scotland, Burns looks to add a huge victory to his resume when he takes on Figueroa. A champion in the junior lightweight and lightweight divisions, the 31-year-old owns victories over a host of accomplished fighters including Roman Martinez, Michael Katsidis and Kevin Mitchell. After suffering consecutive losses to Terrence Crawford and Dejan Zlaticanin, Burns bounced back to defeat Alexandre Lepelley in October 2014 and he will look to keep that momentum going on Kia 9.

 

An undefeated world champion out of Tokyo, Kameda announced his arrival stateside with a vicious knockout over Pungluang Sor Singyu in July 2014 i roto i te Las Vegas. Ko e knockout ko te rua o korero taitara whā o Kameda i muri i riro ia i te whitiki i Paulus Ambunda i roto i 2013. The 23-year-old followed up his U.S. tuatahi, ka patua e ia a Alejandro Hernandez i Chicago mā te whakatau wahia. His next challenge comes when he faces fellow bantamweight world champion McDonnell.

 

The United Kingdom’s McDonnell has been on a tear since 2008 ki 17 te whakauru karapīpiti. Te nuinga tata, he became a bantamweight world champion with a victory over Tabtimdaeng Na Rachawat and later successfully defended against Javier Nicolas Chacon.

 

PBC i te CBS, headlined by Figueroa vs. Burns, is promoted by Warriors Boxing and Panterita Promotions in association with Matchroom Sport. The event takes place at State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas with the CBS telecast beginning at 4 p.m. AND/1 p.m. PT.

 

We’re very excited to bring this exciting fight to the great fight city of Hidalgo,” Na ka mea a Leon Margules, Peresideni o te Warriors Boxing. “I have no doubt that these two fighters are going to put on an incredible show for the fans at State Farm Arena.

A. Stevenson

E toru taime i roto i te whakangungu me te kotahi wā ko te e ono nga haora in the morning. Na, they come into the condo and to do a drug test and two times in the training after sparing. I think it’s good for the boxers, to protect them. I’m very glad about that. And when I got to fight, Te mahi tonu ahau i te whakamātautau, e mohio ana koe? Na, ehara i te mea i te wa tuatahi te mahi ahau i te whakamātautau, but I always to do it. This is fantastic, Aroha ahau e.

Q

Whakaaro e koe, ko reira e tika ana mō kia mekemeke i taua huru o te whakamātautau?

A. Stevenson

O te akoranga ko te mea e tika ana no te mea, Ko āwhina koe. Na, he mea tino nui ki te tino mea katoa te tino pai te haere. Na e te wahi o te mekemeke me e te te kunenga mai. Au nui atu te koa, me te hari me te tautoko e.

Q

Sakio, he aha ta koutou e whakaaro e pā ana ki taua?

S. Taurus

Whakaaro ahau he mea tino, tino pai no te mea i ahau [tapepe] since I’ve been here. I think it’s good for the new generation. It goes for this sport. Hoki ahau, Whakaaro ahau he mea tino. He mea tino no te mea, na taata e rave rahi [tapepe] hoki atu [tapepe] drug and they never get tested. And now with new generation, Whakaaro ahau te mea tino pai, e mohio ana koe, for younger kids to try to see if they want to win. Once you come in this sport you have to have been clean.

Q

Ko te pātai tuatahi i ui ki a Tamutu e pā ana ki tona faaineineraa no te whawhai ka ū mai a hoki te rorona a tawhio noa hoariri pümanawä nohopuku kei mua katoa, E hiahia ana ahau ki te tiki ki te tāpiri ano te pātai taua ki a Tamutu.

 

A. Stevenson

E mohio ana koe, te huru o te mea rite Bika he mohoao, e kua whakaaturia mai e ia–e mohio ana koe, he just keep coming. The kind of stuff like that, I love this kind of stuff because he’s large and keep pressuring. And so, whakaatu i te reira, ki te hanga e koe i te hape, ano e reira ka waiho he knockout rawa hohoro i roto i te whawhai.

Q

Taku pātai ko te hoki “Sugar” Hill. “Sugar”, Hiahia noa ahau ki te mohio, ki te i pai koe ki te kāhua i whiriwhiria mo tenei whawhai ka ū mai, ki te mea ko te momo o te whakamātautau tenei i titiro koe no te rite te kaiwhakangungu.

S. Hill

Pera i te matara titiro mo te kāhua mo a Tamutu ki te whawhai–and actually it doesn’t really matter to me. I’m happy with the selection of Sakio Bika. I have no problem with his style. I actually like the style because he’s coming forward. He wants to fight, and Adonis loves to fight. Adonis likes to go to toe-to-toe, and he likes to box. This is important for the maturity and, no te mea ataahua ako atu e pā ana ki mekemeke ki te e taea ki te hei i roto i te reira ki te toa rite Sakio Bika, nei te he kaha, hōia pūkeke, me te uaua ko wai e ahei te tu atu ki. He can take a punch. He’s never been knocked out or anything like that. Na, Ko ha faingamālie mo a Tamutu kia pea haere tenei 12 rauna ranei ki te rauna muri, e taea e hanga, me te tāpiri ki tona mahi rite whawhai i roto i te rauna muri, kua e ia taea ki te mahi i. Tenei whawhai i konei ki a Bika ko te whakamātautau, a ka aroha ana a Tamutu kia whakamatautauria. I love for him to be tested as well. This is the only thing that’s going to make him grow and become more of a talented fighter and become a bigger superstar.

Q

A Tamutu, e rapu ana koutou i te uaua 12 whawhai a tawhio noa ranei e kite koe i te reira rite hihiri kia rite ki te i te tuatahi ki te patoto i tēnei taata i roto i te mea he hakari i taua faingamālie ano?

A. Stevenson

It is motivation for me. That’s why I train very hard. I know he’s large as well in his punch. And he wants to keep me pressured. I love this kind of style. And if he goes for 12 rauna ahau rite hoki 12 rauna. I fight and spar. My fight is, tohu me te whakangungu mo 12 rounds.When ahau whiwhi i roto i te whakakai, E rapu ana ahau mo te knockout. I don’t look for the 12 tawhio. If he goes the distance or 12 rauna, this is not a problem. Ka taea e kuru ana ahau. I’m beautiful. I got a good skill. I’m a Superman. Na, it’s not a problem for me. Ko, first I’m looking for a knockout. And I think any boxer going in the ring to fight always looks for a knockout. Te tahi mau taime, it’s not like that. Ko, ahau, E rapu ana ahau mo te knockout. And Emanuel said knockouts sell.

Q

You said that you weren’t impressed with Kovalev’s performance over Jean Pascal. Do you want to put on a better performance? Do you feel pressure to put on a better performance since you said that? What do you think about that?

A. Stevenson

I’m not going to put pressure on myself. “Superman” e kore e ite te pēhanga. Kei te haere ahau ki te whakamahi i taku pūkenga mekemeke, a ka haere ahau ki te whakamahi i toku upoko i roto i te whakakai. I don’t have to put pressure on something like that. I don’t feel like that. I’m the man. I’m the guy to get beat.

Q

Ko Sakio Bika te hoariri tuatahi tapaea ana e ratou ki a koutou?

A. Stevenson

Yeah, it was the first. He was the first to open. We’re happy, and we don’t have a problem. And I know Sakio he was light–mahi e kore e, super middleweight champion. It’s very good, no te mea te ia he kaimekemeke pai. He was champion last two fights. That’s a good opportunity for him, rawa, ki te haere i te marama, he taumahamaha ki ahau whawhai. And it’s a good opportunity for me, rawa.

Q

E hiahia ana ahau ki te ui ki a koutou i te mea wāhi i koe mea ki a koe, “E ahau ki te whawhai,” ranei “E hiahia ana ahau ki te whawhai Sergey Kovalev ki te whakakotahi i nga tatua katoa i roto i te wehenga.” At what point did you say that in your career?

A. Stevenson

I don’t think about Kovalev now. I think about Bika. It doesn’t matter what I said now because I have a fight coming up with Bika. Ko, tino hiahia ahau ki te whawhai mo te taitara, tena ko tenei–hoki inaianei kua hokona e ahau Bika i roto i toku mata.

Q

Kihai i faahiahia e koe ki te ara e titiro Kovalev i te whawhai i te tahi atu wiki ki a Pascal. Aha?

A. Stevenson

I’m not impressed by it because this is the first big fight Pascal had since Bernard and he fights one time a year before Bernard Hopkins. Na, in four years he fights one time. Na, e te au e ahau he aha e kore e maere e pā ana ki taua, no te mea kahore he Pascal te kaimekemeke kaha rite whakamahia ia ki te kia hoki i roto i te ra.

 

Q

E mohio ana koe ki e Kovalev, because of the WBC is going to be mandatory. I want to know how hard will you press for that mandatory if you’re successful again.

A. Stevenson

O te akoranga, E mohio ana ahau ki. I’m ready to fight a title. Ko, Tukua ahau toku kapa, Al HAYMON, tiaki e pā ana ki taua. Then after that Kovalev we can unify the title. It’s not a problem for me because the two titles he gets now he gets Bernard Hopkins’ taitara, a kia whawhai ahau Bernard Hopkins.

Q

Ko te whawhai e ngā haere ki te runga i te pouaka motu i roto i te United States tenei, free TV. Have you given any thought about the fact that you’ll be performing in front of an audience probably bigger than has ever seen you fight ever?

A. Stevenson

O te akoranga. This is a good opportunity for that. And first of all, E hiahia ana ahau ki te whakawhetai Al Haymon mo e, rawa, no te mea, that’s him putting on the show. And since Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, back in the day it was free. Na, we offer the public the fight for free and that’s a great opportunity for me. Na, I have a good performance for Sakio Bika. Ko, I know Sakio Bika is a tough opponent and he’s very awkward and tough. We’ll prepare for that, a koe rite tatou. Ko te hoki rawa pai mō te kuao tamariki, matakitaki ai i te whawhai. Ko te he faingamālie pai mō te katoa.

Q

Ki te kore e e nui whakarongo te mātakitaki pea e hoatu e koe ki roto ki te tūnga i reira e rapu ana koutou mo te knockout?

A. Stevenson

O te akoranga. That gives me a lot of motivation. That’s why I train really hard for this fight and watch–na mataara ahau te iwi. Since Muhammad Ali, I’m the first to be poor and the projects. Na, Ahau rawa, tino hari, and I’m going to put a good performance. Like Emanuel said, hoko knockouts.

Q

A Tamutu, te wahi e whakangungu koutou i tenei wiki? Na ka, Kei te haere koe mau, no te ki Quebec City?

A. Stevenson

You know I opened a new gym in Quebec City. This is a good opportunity for me to train in my hometown. This is the first time since 2011. Ka taea e kite ahau i toku koati, rawa. Na, Aroha ahau e. And we train very hard, ahau me toku kaiwhakangungu. We put the hard work pay off. This is different. This is a good opportunity for me, a ka aroha ahau e.

Q

Na, inaianei ka koe i roto i Quebec City koe?

A. Stevenson

I’m in Montreal now. Quebec City, Kei te haere ahau i tenei wiki.

Q

Na, ka e koe mau haere ki Quebec City?

A. Stevenson

Rātapu.

Q

Ano, my question goes to Adonis. I just want to know if a knockout is the result that you absolutely need or would you be disappointed if you didn’t win by a knockout against Bika?

A. Stevenson

I know Bika is a tough opponent. Na, Ahau rite hoki 12 rauna. Ki te mea ko reira te knockout, it’s there. If it’s not, it’s not. Ko, i roto i te whakakai, E rapu ana ahau mo te knockout. Na, e kore e mea faufaa te reira no te ahau, but I’m always looking for the knockout. That’s a Kronk. The Kronk Gym and my team we’re looking for that. Since the Kronk it’s been a while. They’re always looking for the knockout. If you’re training in the Kronk Gym and any fighter is looking for the knockout.

Q

Ko, Ka taea e te mea kino ki tonu te titiro mo te knockout no te mea ka ki te kahore e whiwhi koe i te reira rite hohoro rite ki te hiahia koe ka taea te tiki atu i te kāhua o te mekemeke koutou ia koutou. Is that something that worries you?

A. Stevenson

E nehenehe tatou e haere 12 tawhio. It’s not a problem for me. We train for that. We train for that. Ka taea e ahau te haere 12 tawhio. And I’m from Kronk Gym, Detroit. And this place, to tatou i te pai, kaiwhakangungu pai rite Emanuel “Sugar” Hill. They know boxing. They teach me very well my skill and everything and my balance. They know boxing. And so, e mohio ana ratou ki te kore e reira te knockout, engari e haere tatou ki te mahi. We’re going to use the good ability to go for 12 rauna. It’s not a problem.

Q

Sakio, Hiahia noa ahau ki te mohio, me pehea e ite i te reira hoki koutou i roto i tenei puni whakangungu ki te whakangungu mo te whawhai taumahamaha o te marama i muri i, ka pau tino nui to koutou mahi katoa i te taumahawaenga super?

S. Taurus

Ahau ite i te reira i te titauraa hou ki te haere ki runga, ka ngana ki te whawhai i te puru nui. A, no te kite koe i toku talena, ake hiahia ana tangata ki a ahau whawhai. Ko tonu te reira fifi, he iti bit no te mea e kore te tangata e hiahia ana ki ahau whawhai. Hoki ahau te mea he wero nui no te Stevenson, A Tamutu Ko te toa nui, me te hiahia ahau ki te riro i te toa ao i roto i te ora. Au rawa mohio taea hapai i ahau ki a ia. Na haere mai April 4, no te mea e ahau i te faaineineraa pai, , he hoa e tohu i nui, Ahau titiro noa hoki koutou ki te kite i pēhea te taea e ahau te hapai i te puru nui.

Ka taea e ahau te mea i te marama taimaha ngāwari. It would be a struggle to do super middleweight. E mohio ana koe, Taea e ahau te marama taumahamaha tino ngāwari. Ka taea e ahau te hapai i te puru nui, no te mea rahurahu ki ahau katoa. This is a big opportunity for me to try to see if can I handle the big bull.

A. Stevenson

E kore e Pascal mea faufaa i teie nei no te mea e korero tatou e pā ana ki Bika. Haere ahau ki te whawhai April 4 ki Bika. Ko te he mea tino uaua e pā ana ki Bika, a kahore he inaianei Kovalev he tangata, ina whakaaro ahau e pā ana ki te whawhai ki a Kovalev me Pascal, me ka i muri ka mea ahau, “Well, yeah, Kei te haere ahau ki te whawhai.” He’s not a person for me now. The person now is Bika.

Q
