Carney, Clayton and Russo In Knockout Form at BIBA Inaugural Event

Leave a comment

El Divendres nit, at the Kyle Gallagher (Fight Club) promoted event at the Devonshire House Hotel in Liverpool, the British & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) successfully sanctioned their inaugural event, since taking over the British and Irish operations of the Malta Boxing Commission (MBC) earlier this month.

The first bout of the night, see Lee Clayton make his professional debut against two-bout veteran Thomas Murry.

The two combatants went at it hammer and tongs from the off, both men vying for centre ring with a passion. As the round progressed into the second minute Clayton began to dominate, letting rip with vicious body shots whenever the opportunity arose.

By the third minute Clayton stepped it up even further and then on around two minute thirty mark Clayton landed a peach of a body shot to send Murry down. The Mancunian lad initially attempted to rise but was clearly in a lot of pain and motioned to Referee Jimmy Byrne that he couldn’t continue and the bout was waived off at the 2 minute and 42 segona marca.

Local lad Dayle Clayton faced Belfast’s Marty Kayes in the second bout of the night. From the opening bell right through to the closing bell of the bout these two warriors battled it out much to the delight of the packed house, after four very closely fought rounds Referee Jimmy Byrne scored the bout 40-36 in favour of Dayle Gallagher, whose record now stands as 2-0.

Third bout of the night see Hyde, Cheshire’s Will O’Reilly make his professional debut against Newark, Nottingham’s Vaclav Skromach.

Again another full on war from start to finish, both men giving their all for the full four rounds, as with the Clayton-Hayes bout each round was very close, in this case so close that Referee Jimmy Byrne scored the bout 39-37 in favour of debut kid Will O’Reilly.

Next up see Liverpool’s Lee Boyce against Castlerae, Ireland’s John Waldron. Another cracking all action bout.

Boyce dominated the majority of the first round, using his exceptional movement to keep the Irishman out of range, before moving forward and letting rip with clean sharp shots to body or head.

Many in attendance thought it was going to be an early finish, after Waldron was sent down following a vicious body shot in the first, but the Irishman is of much tougher stock, as proved in the second round which Waldron won.

Third and fourth rounds were full on Battle Royales with Boyce capturing one and Waldron the other, so after four sensational rounds of boxing it was clearly going to be close, so no surprise that Referee Jimmy Byrne’s scorecards showed Boyce the victor by a very close 38-37, the first round knockdown being the difference. A seriously great fight and surely a rematch in the future should be on the cards.

The fifth bout of the night saw former England Amateur star Nathan Russo making his debut against the equally talented and also debuting James McDonald.

The first minute or so of the bout was sensational to put it mildly, first one lad dominated the other and then visa versa, however as the round progressed Russo began to get major success with vicious body-shots and big lefts to the head, so much so around the two minute thirty mark Russo stepped it up even further, forcing McDonald to cover up much more than he had in the early parts of the round, then just as the bell to end the round was about to be rung Russo let rip with a huge left to the head, sending McDonald straight down and out.

Referee Jimmy Byrne realized the instant the punch landed it was a knockout and dived straight to the prone lads side to check his condition before signaling to the ringside medical team to enter the ring to attend to the injured warrior.

The crowd stood respectfully quietly, as did Nathan Russo, as the medical team went to work on the prone McDonald, but when eventually McDonald was assisted to the stool some two or three minutes later the entire crowd to a man (or woman) stood and applauded.

Although James McDonald seemed to be fully recovered, he was taken to hospital for checks to be on the safe side.

The final bout of the night see local lad Jay Carney against pro debuting Jak Johnson, from Newcastle.

Everyone was expecting this to be a serious good fight, as these two lads had fought each other previously in the amateurs, and they were to proved right.

What a first round, these two really went for it, both lads boxing beautifully throughout. Early in the second Johnson began to take control, landing some pinpoint perfect shots, Carney though is as tough as they come and weathered the onslaught and as the round progressed fought back magnificently and began to regain control.

Around the two minute thirty mark Carney stepped things up and started landing some big shots, causing Johnson to cover up, however this tactic opened up the body, which Carney took advantage of, throwing a huge body shot to send Johnson down.

As with Thomas Murry, initially Johnson tried to rise but was too winded to do so. Referee Jimmy Byrne waived the fight off on the two minute forty five second mark of the second round.

Following the event British & Irish Boxing Authority Vice President and CEO Gianluca Di Caro spoke briefly about the event.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better event to launch the British & Irish Boxing Authority, Kyle (promoter Kyle Gallagher) had put together a fantastic show, he’s without doubt one of the UK’s best promoters, his attention to detail is first class.

The venue was superb and the matching of the bouts was first class and more importantly, well to us, featured both British and Irish boxers, so we are over the moon he has chosen to be with the British & Irish Boxing Authority.

I have nothing but praise for every single fighter aquesta nit, every single one of them fought their hearts out and put on a great show.

I am pleased to report that James McDonald is fine, but have to admit I was worried as it looked quite serious at the time, and to be honest if it wasn’t for the quick reactions of Jimmy (Referee Jimmy Byrne), Joan (Dr John Oates) i Chris (Trauma Medic Chris Say) and his team it could so easily have been.

With our first event done and dusted, it’s onwards and upwards. Events are coming in thick and fast, so much so that next weekend we have two events, Lee Murtagh’s event at the Aria Suite in Leeds, that will feature the pro debut of the excellent Sophie Varley as well as a full card of well matched bouts on the Divendres i en dissabteThomas Melville’s quadruple WBF title headed show at the Lagoon Leisure Centre in Paisley.”

LONDRES (Abril 9, 2016) - Anthony Joshua és el nou campió de pes pesat de la FIB del món.

 

L'artista del nocaut invicte campió defensor ha criticat Charles Martin en la segona ronda per capturar el cinturó de la FIB dissabte davant d'un entusiasta públic local a l'O2 de Londres la boxa de Showtime INTERNACIONAL.

 

Josué, que va mantenir el seu rècord perfecte KO en el tacte per avançar a 16-0 amb 16 KOs, guanyat un cinturó de pes pesat en el menor nombre de baralles des que Michael Bentt va vèncer a Tommy Morrison en tot just la seva 12º Pro partit en 1993.

 

Joshua’s one-punch KO power was evident early. After an even first, la 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist floored Martin with a straight right less than one minute into the second round. The southpaw looked stunned and slowly rose to beat the count, but was floored again with another right hand just seconds later. That was it for Martin (23-1-1, 21 KOs), qui havia guanyat el cinturó al gener en circumstàncies estranyes i ara posseeix el regnat més curt per a un segon campió de pes pesat.

 

"Sóc només una quarta part del camí,"Va dir Joshua., who has expressed his desire to unify the heavyweight division. “I’m not going to get too carried away because we still have work to do. Tenim (David) Haye fas demanar, Tyson Fury calling me out. I need to keep on pushing if I’m going to maintain at a high level.

LONDRES (Abril 7, 2016) – IBF Heavyweight World Champion Charles Martin and unbeaten British Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Joshua faced off at the final press conference on Thursday at Four Seasons Hotel in London as they near Dissabte de heavyweight showdown, live on SHOWTIME from The O2.

 

The SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL® telecast begins live at 5 p.m. I/2 p.m. PT per SHOWTIME. An encore presentation will air on SHOWTIME EXTREME® a 8 p.m. I/PT.

 

Here’s what Martin and Joshua had to say at Thursday’s final press conference.

 

CHARLES MARTIN:

“I don’t consider this a risk. The O2 Arena, that’s my arena. I’m comfortable everywhere I go. When eyes are on me, I’m going to perform.

 

“I know how to move my head and be evasive. Real true analysts see the things I do. They can tell.

 

“I’m always here to prove the doubters wrong. When you doubt me, that just fuels my fire.

 

“We’re going to keep the tide rolling. We’re rolling.”

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

“They know when it comes to these big heavy-hitters we don’t play games. We’re here to go to war. We’ve just got two generals in the ring and the best army wins.

 

“You know what I’m like, Sóc un lluitador. I’m not going to go in there and dance around and try to evade punches. I’m going to walk through two to give him five. That’s just how it goes, I’m coming for him.

 

“I’m here to box, but at the same time I know I’m ready to swim through deep waters to get it. It’s not going to be easy, I know that for a fact, no fight is easy. That’s why I said to you I will box and hopefully it will be an easy night.

 

“It most definitely is a risk, but at the same time let’s scrap all this 15-fight, 16-fight nonsense and let’s put men in the ring together who want it. Whoever wants it comes out on top and it’s simple as that.”

 

When asked if he can control his emotions: “Probably not. I’ll probably go out and try to take his head off.”

 

Additional Fight Week Quotes (free to use):

 

CHARLES MARTIN:

 

“I don’t know how the fans will react to me knocking him out, but that’s what is going to happen. I don’t know how the fans in London will react, but I can only be myself.

 

“Sóc campió del món, but a lot of people don’t know me. After I knock him out we’ll see where that goes.

 

“I’m not going to go in there respecting anybody’s power. He’s going to have to respect me and my power and deal with me and my tools. I don’t care what he’s bringing to the table.

 

“This is my livelihood and I get real emotional with this. If you don’t take emotion into it then how are you even going to win? I’ve got to walk my own path. When I get emotional ahead of a big fight like this, I feel that I cannot be stopped. Even if I have doubt, I always have that.

 

“I don’t think about where he’s been. All I care about is where he’s going. I don’t care if he’s been in deep water before, or how many rounds he’s been. I want him to remember the word ‘timber’ because I’m going to make his ass hit that canvas real hard.

 

“This belt is mine. He’s trying to take what’s mine, take something from me. He’s trying to steal food out of my mouth, out of my kids’ mouth, out of my family’s mouth. This is my livelihood.

 

“I don’t want to let this go: this is never going to end. I want to be known as the greatest southpaw heavyweight that ever put on a set of gloves.

 

“When I get to this point now, I can’t be stopped. I’m like Lamon Brewster versus Wladimir Klitschko when he unloaded all those shots until he couldn’t throw anymore punches. And then what did Lamon Brewster do? Knock him the (expletivo) out. Just that will to win, 1. You can throw whatever you want, but I’ll walk through fire to get you.

 

“It’s controlled aggression, encara que, because if it’s not, you’ll run into everything they throw at you. I go in there with my antennas to the ceiling and I won’t take my eyes off him until the job is done.

 

“Everything is just cooking in the kitchen like I am a master chef, and all of the ingredients put together make it perfect.

 

“Life is all about taking risks but I don’t consider this a risk because I’m confident in what I do. It’s all about just taking that first step. You’ve got to walk out on your own and you’ve got to believe in yourself. If I didn’t believe in myself I wouldn’t have made it this far. If I didn’t believe in myself I wouldn’t be Prince Charles Martin.

 

“The belt is absolutely in the right hands. I didn’t want to win it the way I did – that was just crazy – I don’t even really like talking about it because it wasn’t my fault. Afterwards, he walked out of the venue – he didn’t limp or get carried out, he walked. If that was me I’d have fought on and gone out on my shield. You’d have to knock me out no matter what. I don’t care if I break my hand, if I break my jaw, I am not stopping.”

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

“I believe I am ready to win the world title. A lot of people have said that this might be too soon for me, that I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, but right now my knuckles are itchy and I just want to get in there and show the world what I can do.

 

“When my promoter Eddie Hearn called me up and said ‘do you want to fight Charles Martin for the world heavyweight title?’ I just said: ‘Let’s roll’.

 

“Opportunity knocks and you have to open the door. I have trained and prepared correctly and am ready for this. There’s no turning back. I just embrace it.

 

“We saw the opportunity when Martin called me out. Jo era com, ‘OK Mr. IBF calling me out.’ The IBF champ calling out the British champ. I’ve got the heavyweight champion of the world calling me out saying he wants to fight me. I say cool. Let’s rock and roll.

 

“At the end of the day, let’s strip away the heavyweight title and let’s look at the opponent I’m facing. Charles Martin is a southpaw who can box and who can punch a bit.

 

“Facing a southpaw always comes with different angles and different tricks. I can’t go in recklessly because you can easily get counter punched. That’s why sparring is important and having a successful camp is important. I know I’ve done all I can to prepare myself for him.

 

“Let’s welcome Charles into the Lion’s den. He’s coming to The O2 – this is my stomping ground. When I fight here it’s electric and it’s going to be an amazing atmosphere, the best yet. It’s going to be interesting to see how he handles it. What a night it will be if I can lift that belt above my head.

 

“Sometimes you got to put talent to one side and dig deep. This is the fight game; you got to prove to yourself that when tactics aren’t working, you’ve got to dig a bit deeper, go to war and find a way to win. That’s what I thought when I fought Dillian (Whyte). Certain things weren’t working, I was rushing a bit, I wasn’t in my comfort zone, but I dug deep I found a way to win and I ended the night in a spectacular knockout.

 

“After I do the business with Martin, a fight with (Tyson) Fury is 10 o 12 months away — providing he handles his business in (Wladimir) Klitschko rematch.

 

“I find Fury a bit irritating to be honest. All his antics work for him, I suppose, but I can’t wait to fight him. He’s had plenty to say about me, and it’s coming from the same guy that was singing my praises when I sparred with him when I was a complete novice.

 

“As time goes on, it’s going to get worse for the others because my confidence will grow, I’ll train, learn and take it into the ring.

 

“David Haye? Bring it on. My heart tells me I am ready. I am at championship level now. After I get Martin out of the way, David is a massive name and when we’re ready to get it on it will be a huge fight.”

LEE SELBY & ERIC HUNTER QUOTES & LONDON PRESS CONFERENCE PHOTOS

LONDRES (Abril 6, 2016) – IBF Featherweight World Champion Lee Selby and American challenger Eric Hunter participated in a final undercard press conference on Wednesday at Trinity House as they prepare to faceoff aquest dissabte at The O2 in London.

 

Highlight coverage of Selby vs. Hunter will air on d'aquest dissabteSHOWTIME BOXING INTERNACIONAL® transmissió per televisió, preceding the live presentation of the IBF Heavyweight World Championship between unbeaten American titlist Charles Martin and fellow unbeaten British Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Joshua. Martin vs. Joshua air live on SHOWTIME® a 5 p.m. I/2 p.m. PT.

 

Selby (22-1, 8 KOs) vs. Hunter (21-3, 11 KOs) is the second of five scheduled featherweight title bouts in 2016 (details below), a lineup showcasing many of the world’s best 126-pounders aiming to unifying one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

 

Here’s what Selby and Hunter had to say during fight week:

 

LEE SELBY:

 

“I will put on a devastating and clinical performance. I am going to take the fight to him. You are going to see spiteful punches and hurtful shots, so Hunter better be ready.

 

“I will show why I am the IBF World Champion and show people what I can do. If he wants to stand and fight, we can fight. If he wants to box, we’ll box. I haven’t needed to show how tough I am yet and that I can grit it out, because I’ve out-boxed everyone I’ve faced. No obstant això, he wants it I don’t mind. If you see me sparring every day in the gym, I just want to have a tear-up.

 

“You don’t win fights like that – or at least, I’m instructed not to. I’m told to box all the time but when it comes down to it, I’d love to have a tear-up.

 

“I’ve never had the trash talking and at weigh-ins I’ve never had anyone in my face, but it won’t affect me at all. It doesn’t change my mindset one bit.

 

“I’ve had a little look at him, seen his style. Ell és un bon boxejador, he’s awkward, switch hits, has power, so it’s going to be a tough fight.

 

“Eric is my No. 1 challenger and he’s there for a reason. He’s going to give me a real test but that’s what I need.

 

“Fighting in front of British fans is the best atmosphere in boxing. It was a dream to go out to America to defend a World title, but it’s a dream to defend it on home soil in front of 20,000.

 

“There have been some great fighters calling me out. Carl Frampton was talking about me after his last fight, Josh Warrington has called me out a lot of times and Leo Santa Cruz has mentioned me, massa. There are plenty of options but I’ve got to come through this one.

 

“Warrington will never get to my level. He’s done everything asked of him and won all the titles I vacated, and it’s a fight that could be made straight away if he comes through his next fight and I come through mine. Warrington talks about me a lot, and it’s a fight I would definitely be interested in and if we both win our next fights. Maybe it will happen, and it would be a big fight.”

 

ERIC HUNTER:

 

“Selby is a runner, we know he’s a runner, he boxes and runs away. He hasn’t really fought anyone yet. He beat Evgeny Gradovich, who has not really been the same since he fought Billy Dib. He just walked forward with his hands up.

 

“I was rated by the IBF for the longest time. I was rated higher than Lee Selby when he fought Fernando Montiel and when he got Gradovich.

 

“Not to be smart or cocky, but I’d never seen him fight. I never heard of him until the Gradovich fight. And with that fight, I think Gradovich was winning but Selby got the hometown decision. He boxed well. He runs pretty well too.

 

“I can adjust. Puc lluitar. Jo puc boxejar. I got better footwork. I can bang. I can do a few things that he probably can’t.

 

“I’m excited about fighting in front of all these people. It gives me the chance to show off my skills. They are going to see a new IBF champion.

 

“I don’t need to win a war of words, I’m going to show what I can do on the night. I love the London fans, I’m looking forward to coming over there and showing them what I can do.”

Eric Hunter in London, Ready to Take Selby’s IBF Featherweight Title This Saturday

Leave a comment

 
Upcoming world title challenger Eric “El fora de la llei’ Hunter is in London and feeling more motivated now than ever to take the title away from Welsh champion Lee Selby.
A proud Philadelphia fighter, Hunter (21-3, 11 KOs) will face Selby (22-1, 8 KOs) in a 12-round battle this Dissabte, Abril 9, for Selby’s IBF World Featherweight Championship at The O2 in London. The bout will serve as the featured fight before undefeated IBF Heavyweight World Champion Charles Martin defends his belt against fellow unbeaten Anthony Joshua. Extensive highlights of Hunter vs. Selby will be shown on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL®, prior to live coverage of Martin-Joshua (En viu per Showtime® a 5 p.m. I/2 p.m. PT).
“I wasn’t invited to the open workout yesterday,” said Hunter. “They had an open workout for Selby and didn’t have one for me. I’m kind of irritated about that. It’s not even fair to the fans, ja saps? I’m sure that a lot of fans wanted to see who their man is fighting. I have no choice but to use it as fuel for even more motivation.”
The 29-year-old Hunter, in Europe for the first time, says he doesn’t mind travelling to win this championship. De fet, despite being an underdog via the odds makers, Hunter says his victory won’t be an upset. “I won’t call it an upset when I win. I’m the better fighter. And it doesn’t bother me to come here. All the great ones had to do it. Vull ser gran, so I have to do this. As long as they don’t cheat me with the judges, I’m ok.”
Hunter says his victory will be the culmination of his lifelong dream. “It would mean everything. It would right my wrongs. All those who doubted me. All my failures and letdowns on the way here. It will turn all my negatives into positives.”

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE DISSABTE PER CONVERTIR-SE EN LA 12ª CAMPIÓ DEL MÓN BRITÀNICA A SHO EXTREME® DE MANCHESTER,ANGLATERRA

Leave a comment

NOVA YORK (Desembre. 19, 2015) - Billy Joe Saunders destronat campió del món de pes mitjà de la OMB Andy Lee amb una decisió majoritària de 12 rondes el dissabte BOXA DE SHOWTIME INTERNACIONAL de Manchester, Anglaterra.

 

La lluita, que va ser anotat 115-111, 114-112 i 113-113, es tornarà a emetre aquesta nit a les 9 p.m. I/PT per SHO EXTREME.

 

En un enfrontament de punteries tàctiques, una explosiva tercera ronda de Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) era la diferència. El rival britànic va llançar Lee dues vegades: primer amb un gran ganxo dret i de nou amb un contra dret just 30 segons després - i un Lee atordit va sobreviure d'alguna manera al 10-7 ronda.

El Lee irlandès (34-3-1, 24 KOs) va lluitar el camí de tornada i va ser el lluitador més agressiu de les rondes del campionat, però no va ser suficient per compensar un inici lent i els dos enderrocs.

 

Amb la victòria, Saunders es va convertir en el 12º actual campió del món britànic.

 

“Sóc campió del món,”, Va dir Saunders. “Avui he guanyat un bon campió, un bon campió resistent. Vaig utilitzar el seu poder contra ell. Quan jo feia boxa, es va descuidar una mica i va deixar caure la mà de plom i el vaig agafar amb el ganxo.

 

«No començaré a córrer la boca, però va ser un bon xut. Amb algú tan ràpid com jo has de mantenir les mans alçades. No sóc el puncher més gran del món, però t’he mostrat allà que puc donar cops de puny ”.

 

AMB campió mundial de pes mitjà Daniel Jacobs, acabat d 'aconseguir una eliminatòria de la primera ronda de Peter Quillin fa dues setmanes a SHOWTIME, va ser un analista convidat en dissabte de Nova York.

 

“Vaig pensar que seria un gran lluitador, Vaig pensar que tenia millors actius,Jacobs va dir de Lee. «No va fer prou per mi. Era massa complaent i, després del tomb, no vau veure aquesta sensació d’urgència que un lluitador ha de tenir a la pista de la tornada.

 

“Tot el mèrit degut a Billy Joe, però no va ser una victòria impressionant ".

 

Després de veure la baralla, Jacobs no estava preparat per comprometre's a un enfrontament d'unificació a 2016 amb el guanyador.

 

"Farem el que tingui sentit,”, Va dir Jacobs. "Crec que és el moment de seure i esbrinar el que té sentit. Evidentment, és un bon moment per ser campió del pes mitjà ".

D'Irlanda Lee (34-2-1, 24 KOs) farà la primera defensa del seu títol de 160 lliures contra els anglesos Saunders (22-0, 12 KOs), el núm. 1 contendent de pes mitjà.

 

La SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNACIONAL ofrena delBoxNation la transmissió televisiva inclourà anàlisis d'experts en boxa SHOWTIME Brian Custer, En Bernstein i Paulie Malignaggiabans i després de l’enfrontament del campionat del món. Una altra presentació del combat s’emetrà a SHO EXTREME més tard aquella mateixa nit 9 p.m. I/PT.

 

Això és el que van dir Lee i Saunders durant els seus entrenaments de mitjans dimarts i Dilluns, respectivament:

 

ANDY LEE:

“Tinc un cop de puny que pot acabar amb una baralla, llums apagades, en un segon determinat.

 

"No em basaré en el cop de puny. Miraré dominar des del principi amb una pressió educada.

 

"En aquest moment em sento molt perillós.

 

"El registre invicte de Saunders és un desavantatge. Sempre ha estat en baralles que espera guanyar i ha estat ben gestionat per ell(Franco) Cau.

 

“Mai he perdut una baralla per punts i mai perdré per punts. Si estic a les cartes, sortiré balancejant-me a l’última ronda.

 

“Saunders ser company de viatge afegeix una altra capa, però al cap i a la fi el dia tracta sobre com ets de bo i ell no és prou bo per guanyar-me ".

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

“Estic preparat per anar-hi Dissabte nit. Aquest és el millor campament que he tingut mai. Estic preparat per a la prova més dura de la meva carrera, però sé que estic en una forma excel·lent per guanyar aquesta lluita i convertir-me en campió del món.

 

"Andy Lee és un lluitador dur: ho ha demostrat convertint-se en campió del món i tenint el tipus de carrera que ha tingut. Però tinc gana invicta i sé que estic a la vora de complir un somni infantil. No deixaré aquest ring sense el títol.

 

“L’entrenament a Espanya em permet allunyar-me de totes les distraccions i centrar-me únicament en la lluita. És difícil estar fora de casa, però tot forma part de la boxa. Ha estat un llarg campament, un campament dur, però després d’això sé que estic disposat a passar l’infern per assegurar-me que tinc èxit, vingui la nit de lluita.

 

"La divisió de pes mitjà és una de les més populars i estic preparada per lluitar contra qualsevol dels altres campions que hi hagi un cop guanyi el títol.

 

"Danny Jacobs va tenir una gran victòria en contra Peter Quillin, i després hi ha Canelo (Alvarez) i (Gennady) Golovkin. Sé la importància d’aquesta lluita per a la divisió i vull que el meu nom estigui entre els millors. Estic fent un pas a la vegada, però estic obert a lluitar contra qualsevol.

 

"No s'ha parlat amb la paperera amb Andy perquè sabem de què tracta cada persona. Compartim antecedents similars i cap dels dos farà un pas enrere.

 

"Aquesta serà una lluita en tota acció molt emocionant perquè ho deixarem tot al ring. Sé que tinc les habilitats necessàries per guanyar-lo i tinc la intenció de mostrar al món per què estic entre els millors que hi ha al voltant ”.

 

Saunders amb altres companys britànics Chris Eubank Jr..:

“La veritat és que Eubank Jr.. no pertany a nivell mundial: és un fals. És així de simple com això. No em va impressionar la seva victòria Gary O'Sullivan, a qui ja he guanyat. Pensa que pot enganyar el públic amb una victòria així, però no pot.

 

“El seu objectiu ara és pujar i lluitar contra els millors nois del món, però vam veure què va passar l'última vegada que va augmentar una osca i es va enfrontar a mi: estava molt exposat. El mateix passarà amb ell si lluita contra algú com Danny Jacobs pel títol de la WBA.

 

"No ets el millor pes mitjà del teu propi país i vols lluitar contra un campió del món i dir que el guanyaràs? Crec que és un engany i creu que és més gran del que realment és.

 

"Més aviat que tard, tornarà a ser exposat com el frau que és. Es pot continuar parlant, però finalment hauràs de fer una còpia de seguretat al ring contra combatents de primer nivell. Ha guanyat la seva última baralla i ara ha tornat a parlar (expletivo) de nou com si fos el millor lluitador de la història.

 

“Si té les pilotes per tornar a lluitar, cosa que dubto, Jo li lliuraria feliçment una altra pallissa, this time in even more convincing fashion.”
