Here is what Erislandy Lara, Jermell Charlo and Jermall Charlo and had to say Freitag:

 

Erislandy Lara

 

“When they asked me if I was available to come to the Houston Food Bank to volunteer, I didn’t even hesitate. I was in. No matter how busy I am with training camp, I always have time to help for a good cause.

 

“Houston has suffered with Hurricane Harvey. I’ve seen the devastation. Coming to the Food Bank with my wife today is my little grain of sand to help a bigger cause. I come from Cuba, an island that it’s often battered by storms. I’ve seen people lose a lot to Mother Nature. I feel for them.

 

“I don’t think my preparation for this fight has been affected by what happened here in Houston [Hurricane Harvey]. I have endured so much in my life. I had to escape from my homeland to pursue my dream of becoming a professional boxer. I defied the odds and I became a world champion. I got here with hard work and discipline. I’m focused. Nothing distracts me.

 

“Gausha is a good fighter, but he doesn’t know what he signed up for. I’m not a brawler, Ich bin ein echter Kämpfer– a technical boxer. I went toe-to-toe with some of the best fighters in the division. He’s in for treat.

 

Jermell Charlo

 

“I didn’t get a chance to really see my house [during Hurricane Harvey] because I’ve been gone. I’ve been in Dallas training with Errol Spence Jr. and my trainer Derrick James. My uncle wouldn’t tell me anything that’s going on in my gym. Everybody basically was like ‘don’t worry about what’s going on.’ I’m trying to keep my mind off of it. I’m back home, everything is good and that’s all that matters right now.

 

“Erickson Lubin is a crafty young fighter. Er ist stark. He’s got some skills. He’s got pop. We’re just going to have to dog it out. Best man wins. Whoever’s in the best shape, whoever’s the strongest fighter, whoever lands the best punches is going to win the fight.

 

“I’m a vet. I’ve been in the game professionally ten years. I grew up in the amateurs. I’ve got the height, I’ve got the size, Ich bin stärker, Ich bin schneller.

 

“I’ve fought three southpaws. I’ve knocked them all out. I’ve knocked every southpaw I’ve fought out.

 

“Errol Spence Jr. is the perfect sparring partner. He’s been one of the best sparring partners that I’ve had even when I’m fighting right-handers because of his dominance. He’s very strong, he’s fast and he’s punching.

 

“I’ve got Houston on my back right now – me and my twin brother. If there were more fighters in Houston, we would be a bigger team. We do what we can to try to get boxing back into this city.

 

“Why not get a big fight? I’ve fought 29 Kämpfe. I’ve fought a lot of prospects. My career has been built up. I beat Olympians. What else do you want me to do? Now it’s time to beat the [Miguel] Cottos and the Canelos [Alvarez] and the Triple G’s [Gennady Golovkin] and whoever else we’ve got to jump in the ring with.

 

“I’m satisfied with [trainer] Derrick James. I actually like the fact that I have to leave to go to a different city to train because I can focus over there. I’m sitting in a home where I just train. I wake up, eat protein, back to training again and then rest. My focus is there.”

 

Charlo JERMALL

“I told my brother that this fight is equivalent to when I fought J-Rock [Julian Williams]. A lot of people are going to doubt him but at the end of the day they’re going to be in his corner cheering him on for the victory.

 

“I told Jermell to continue to work hard and keep striving because it’s going to build our legacy to that next level. It’s going to put us where we need to be to get the best opponents and the biggest fights.

 

“I’m in camp with Ronnie Shields. We’re getting in shape. I’ve been training so I’m just waiting on the next date, the next fight. We’ll see what happens.”

Hier ist, was der Pressekonferenz Teilnehmer hatten zu sagen, Mittwoch:
Erislandy Lara
I like to do my talking in the ring. Auf 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 Oktober 14.
“Ich bin für diesen Kampf aufgeregt. 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 Strongon 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 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.
“Ich bin gesegnet, in dieser Position zu sein. 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.
“Ich habe von dieser Möglichkeit Gebrauch zu nehmen. I know that I have a lot of advantages but I just need to go seize the moment. Er ist hart im Nehmen, 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 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 ‘Swiftfans 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 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 FORELLE
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, Präsident der DiBella Entertainment
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 Oktober 14 and it’ll all go down on SHOWTIME.
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & Hauptgeschäftsführer, Showtime Sports
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 und 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 of Brooklyn Sports & Unterhaltung
It has been an incredible year for BROOKLYN BOXING. Probably the best since we opened Barclays Center. Am October, 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.”

We are thrilled to continue our best year yet of BROOKLYN BOXING with our fifth major boxing event of 2017,” sagte Brett Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Unterhaltung. “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,” sagte 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, 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 Februar. 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 onApril 22 bei Barclays Center. Er und sein Zwillingsbruder, Jermall, both held world titles at 154-pounds, before Jermall relinquished his title to move up to 160 Pfund. 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,” Said Charlo. “I’ve been through the trenches and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon. This is what boxing always needstwo 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. Oktober 14 I’ll show everyone why I’m a world champion.
Lubin, 21, is nicknamed “Der Hammer” 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,” sagte 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 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 Februar. 25. Bekämpfung von 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,” Said 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.
Forelle, 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,” sagte 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.

KÄMPFER & PROMOTER-ANGEBOTE:
Robert Oster Jr:
“Es war sehr wichtig für mich, heute Abend konzentriert zu bleiben, aber auch Spaß zu haben. Meine Leute kamen mit voller Kraft heraus, also wollte ich ihnen eine Show geben, eine Nacht zum Erinnern. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich das getan habe, obwohl ich wünschte, ich hätte ihnen den Knockout geben können.
“ich gebe zu, Ich war sehr überrascht, dass Luis Cruz meine Schläge so ausführen und den Kampf beenden konnte. Als ich ihn niedergeschlagen und verletzt hatte (in Runde 10), Ich dachte er wäre fertig. Ich gebe ihm Kredit. Er hat einen langen Weg zurückgelegt und viel Herz gezeigt.
“Ich sagte vor dem Kampf und ich werde es weiter sagen – Ich bin hier, um alle Gürtel zu sammeln. Ich werde nicht so tun, als wäre ich der Typ, der keine anderen Kämpfe ausruft. Ich rufe Mikey Garcia an, Jorge Linares und Terry Flanagan. Ich möchte, dass sie sehen, was wir heute Abend hier tun konnten, die Menge, die ich angezogen habe. Ich bin ein Superstar auf dem Vormarsch und jetzt ist es Zeit für mich, meine Preise zu sammeln und diese Kämpfe und alle Gürtel nach Toledo zu bringen.
“Sogar als ich meinen Bruder sah (Rau’Shee Warren) einen Kampf verlieren, von dem wir alle dachten, er hätte gewonnen, Ich konnte mich nicht davon ablenken lassen, was ich im Ring tun musste. Ich hasste es, dass Rau’Shee das noch einmal durchmachen musste – dreimal bei den Olympischen Spielen verlieren, im ersten Kampf mit Juan Carlos Payano nicht gewinnen, dann bekam er seinen Gürtel monatelang nicht, nachdem er ihn gewonnen hatte, und jetzt so zu verlieren. Er hat es schwer gehabt, Aber wir sind ein Team und müssen uns gegenseitig abholen. Das wurde meine Mission, mich für das Team zu erheben.
“Realistisch möchte ich vielleicht im Mai oder Juni wiederkommen. Es ist immer harte Arbeit, aber ich bin nicht geschnitten oder markiert. Ich möchte aktiv bleiben und alle Champions und besten Herausforderer da draußen holen. TBT – Das Bunny-Team bereitet sich auf die Übernahme vor.”
Luis Cruz:
“Er ist ein sehr starker Kämpfer. Ich wollte mehr tun, aber er hat mir spät im Kampf meine Energie genommen. Der erste Niederschlag hat mich sehr beschäftigt. Mir war schwindelig, aber es war mir wichtig, den Kampf auf meinen Füßen zu beenden. Ich habe nie aufgehört zu versuchen zu gewinnen, Aber er ist ein großartiger Champion und der beste, dem ich je begegnet bin.
“Ich werde nach Hause zurückkehren (in Puerto Rico) und genieße die Zeit mit meiner Familie. Ich muss mich ausruhen und entspannen. Danach, Ich werde darüber nachdenken, was als nächstes für meine Karriere kommt.”
Zhanat Zhakiyanov:
“Ich wusste am Ende des Kampfes, dass ich den Sieg verdient hatte, aber wegen wo wir waren, Wir waren uns nicht sicher, ob die Richter es uns geben würden. Das hat uns also überrascht, aber nicht, dass ich den Kampf gewonnen hätte. Ich wurde früh verletzt, aber ich habe ihn danach in fast jeder Runde übertroffen und war am Ende der stärkere Kämpfer.
“Die Niederschlagungen schockierten mich, aber doch (Trainer und Promoter, ehemaliger Zweiteiler-Weltmeister) Ricky Hatton hielt mich besonnen, Erzählen Sie mir die Anpassungen, die ich vornehmen musste. Einmal konnte ich hineinkommen und die Aktion erzwingen, ich sah (Warrens) Energie-Level-Abfall.
“Wir sind dankbar, dass er uns die Gelegenheit gegeben hat, um den Weltmeistertitel zu kämpfen. Es ist ein erstaunliches Gefühl, diesen Gürtel zu gewinnen. Er hat das Gefühl, den Kampf gewonnen zu haben und will den Rückkampf. Wir können definitiv darüber reden. Ich habe überall auf der Welt gekämpft und mich keiner Herausforderung entzogen.”
Ricky Hatton:
“Wir waren überrascht, als Zhanat zu Beginn des Kampfes so unterging. Ich wollte ihn nur daran erinnern, was er besser kann und was Rau’Shee gut kann. Er wird ihn niemals aus dem Verkehr ziehen; er musste in seine Brust bekommen, er musste ihn überfallen und es zu einer Schlägerei machen. Zhanat hat das sehr gut gemacht und so hat er den Kampf gewonnen.
“Wenn wir den Kampf verloren haben, wir wären verärgert gewesen, aber wir würden wissen, dass es keine schlechte Entscheidung gewesen wäre. Ich weiß, dass Warren entkernt ist, Er hat das Gefühl, den Kampf gewonnen zu haben und seien wir ehrlich – Es war die Art von Kampf, bei der egal wer gewann, Der Verlierer hätte das Gefühl gehabt, er hätte es verdient, seine Hand zu heben.
“Ihre Stile sorgen für einen großartigen Kampf. Warum nicht noch einmal machen?? Nicht nur, weil es eng war, sondern weil es ein großartiger Actionkampf war und es immer sein wird.”
Rau’Shee Warren:
“Mann, Ich habe diesen Kampf gewonnen. Ich habe ihn niedergeschlagen, Ich landete die saubereren Schläge und ließ ihn vermissen. Was es ist, Die Richter bevorzugen aggressive Kämpfer, selbst wenn sie nicht einmal landen.
“Ich habe das gleiche mitgemacht (Juan Carlos) Payano, den ersten Kampf zu verlieren, den ich hätte gewinnen sollen, und dann die Entscheidung im Rückkampf zu treffen. Jetzt muss ich diesen Richtern zum zweiten Mal beweisen, was ich heute Abend haben sollte. Natürlich will ich diesen Rückkampf. Ich will es als nächstes, Ich möchte meine Weltmeistertitel zurück.
“Natürlich können Sie immer mehr tun. Wir werden zurückkehren, Schauen Sie sich an, was wir anders hätten machen können, und stellen Sie sicher, dass die Richter es mir nicht mehr abnehmen.”
Terrell Gausha:
“Der Niederschlag war legitim, aber das war (Hernandez) nur guter Moment im Kampf. Er hat mich sauber erwischt, aber es ist mir schon mal passiert (gegen William Waters früher in seiner Karriere). Genau wie damals, Ich habe den Rest des Kampfes sofort angepasst und kontrolliert.
“Es fühlte sich gut an, so viel von den Fans in Toledo und all meinen Fans aus Cleveland zu bekommen (Gaushas Heimatstadt). Es war eine großartige Nacht hier draußen und ich würde es gerne wieder tun, wenn sie bereit sind, uns hierher oder sogar in meine Heimatstadt zurückzubringen.
“Ich bin bereit zurückzukehren, wenn mein Team sagt, dass die nächste Gelegenheit für mich da ist. Hoffentlich ist es so bald wie möglich. Das wird ein großes Jahr für mich.”
Luis Hernandez:
“Ich hatte ihn verletzt, aber ich habe ihn nicht erledigt. Ich habe nicht genug Schläge geworfen, um ihn zu verlangsamen, nachdem ich ihn niedergeschlagen hatte. Er hat es verdient zu gewinnen; Ich hätte es besser machen können und werde es in Zukunft besser machen. Ich hoffe, PBC bringt mich bald zurück, wenn ich zeigen möchte, dass ich zu den Besten gehöre.”
Adrien Broner:
“Es war eine großartige Wahlbeteiligung heute Abend. Dies war die erste große Promotion für About Billions; Es wird definitiv nicht das letzte sein. Wir haben meinen Kampf nächste Woche in Cincinnati und werden immer wieder stark zurückkommen.”
Ravone Littlejohn, CEO von About Bilions Promotions:
“Es war eine bittersüße Nacht für uns, mit Robert Easter, der wie ein Superstar aussieht, aber dann mit Rau’Shee Warren, der nicht den Sieg erringt. Wir wollten den Sieg in beiden Kämpfen für die Fans, aber die Richter sahen, was sie in Rau'Shees Kampf sahen.
“Die Menge hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Wir wussten, dass es eine große Beteiligung sein würde, aber als sie den gesamten Veranstaltungsort eröffneten und wir sahen, dass fast alle Plätze besetzt waren, Es war ein besonderes Gefühl. Jetzt können wir dies nächste Woche auf Adriens Kampf übertragen und freuen uns darauf, weiterhin große Ereignisse nach Ohio zu bringen.”

ROBERT OSTERN
As everyone knows, I don’t like doing too much talking. I like to do my talking in the ring with these hands. Februar 10 is going to be an exciting night with a tremendous undercard filled with local talent.
These guys up here and on this card are people I’ve grown up with. It means a lot for me to share the stage with them. I’m excited for them.
I’m so grateful for all of the support I’ve received from fans here in Toledo. You keep me going forward and you keep me motivated.
My dad and I have come a long way. It’s been a long road and we’re finally here, oben drauf. I couldn’t have done this without him.
Toledo has been showing up like crazy for my last two fights so it’s got me feeling very comfortable and confident.
I have a very tough fighter in front of me. Cruz is going to come to fight and put on a show, but I’m prepared to deliver a knockout.
I can’t wait to get into the ring for this fight. This is something I’ve been waiting on for years. I’m a world champion just like I knew I always would be.
Having Adrien Broner here means a lot. He is a big brother to me. He showed me the ropes and he’s somebody I always looked up to.
Being able to bring this title back home to Toledo is really exciting. I hope you all are as excited as I am, because on Februar 10 you’re going to see fireworks. It’s going to be short.
LUIS CRUZ
I’m very thankful to everyone who helped me earn this opportunity. I’ve been training really hard and I’m planning on taking full advantage of this.
I hope that all the people who come out am Freitag are ready to see a great fight. I’m going to leave it all in the ring.
I know that everything is up against me going to his hometown, but it is my dream to fight for a world title and I will give it everything I have.
Rau'shee WARREN
“Dies ist ein sehr wichtiger Kampf für mich. I’m a world champion but I have a lot more work to do. I’m looking to grab more titles.
My first obstacle is taking care of this mandatory. After I get him out of the way I’ll be ready put my titles up against other champions.
I have to be sharp in this fight. I have to stick with my game plan because this guy is coming to take my title.
My opponent is a pressure fighter. He’s trying to come forward. With the abilities that I have, I’m going to try to make it look easy.
Adrien Broner, Former-Four Division World Champion
I have on my promoter hat today for my first major card and I’m really excited about it. Being able to promote a card like this with two world championship fights is amazing, especially because of the fighters on this card.
These fighters are guys that I’ve been in the gym sacrificing with. These guys came from water and cornflakes just like I did. It’s going to be a real surreal moment seeing them up in that ring.
I could tell stories about me, Robert and Rau’shee all day. Now we’re all on the same stage as champions, representing this sport. I’m excited to give the fans of Toledo a great show.

PROMOTER LEWKOWICZ SAYS PERALTA NO LONGER A CAB DRIVER AFTER HUGE UPSET VICTORY OVER ROBERT GUERRERO

Sampson Lewkowicz, promoter of suddenly red-hot welterweight David EmanuelEl Pirata” Peralta, says big changes are on the way for his cab-driving Argentinean fighter.
Am Samstag Nacht, Peralta (26-2-1, 14 KOs), ein 70:1 Unterlegene, came out of retirement to win a surprise 12-round split decision over former world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Kalifornien.
The victory, televised nationally on PBC on Spike, has changed 33-year-old Peralta’s fortunes in the talent-rich welterweight division.
He is no longer a cab driver,” laughed a happy Lewkowicz, nach dem Kampf. “David came out of retirement to take this fight when I offered it to him. Now his life will change. He will go back to being a full-time fighter and I will find him another big fight to win.
Lewkowicz, credited with discovering Manny Pacquiao and Sergio “Wunder” Martinez among many others, says his Argentinean fighter was taken lightly because he had never fought outside his homeland, but he knew what he could do.
David is very talented fighter and very tough,” sagte Lewkowicz. “We knew Guerrero was in a tough battle against him, but no one else did. And I thank the great champion Robert Guerrero for giving him the opportunity. He and his team have our utmost respect.
Lewkowicz says he will get to work finding Peralta another big opportunity as soon as possible.
You have to like David. He is very humble and honest and he fought his heart out and now everybody knows his name. He’s a special fighter and I’m very happy to be his promoter. He was only retired because he thought nothing would ever happen in his career. He’s back now and he’ll be in the gym full-time. His cab can wait. I will find him a big fight against another top contender and try to get him in line for a world title shot. Or if Robert Guerrero feels like he wants an immediate rematch, we would give it to him. He gave us the chance.
