Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from the Brooklyn Marriott : ADAM Kownacka “This is one of my dreams coming true . Since the amateurs I’ve wanted to fight at Barclays Center and on Saturday night I’m the main event . I couldn’t be more excited “I’ve been pushed hard in training camp and I can’t wait to show everyone all of my work on Saturday . The key is going to be jabbing in and throwing my punches in bunches like I always do . “This is a new experience for me being the headliner , but in the ring it doesn’t matter . It’s just two guys fighting each other . We both love to fight . I can’t wait to get it over with and punch him in the face . “Chris Arreola is a warrior . You always know that when Chris fights , it’s a good fight . But I’m going to test how much he has left in the gas tank . Chris has been in there with three champions and when I take care of business on Saturday , I’ll be one step closer to being world champion . “It’s truly a great feeling to have all this support from my fans here . These fans are trusting me to bring the title back to Brooklyn and to Poland . “Barclays Center has been my boxing home . I can’t wait to get in the ring . This is a tough fight and I have to make sure I send the fans home happy . “This definitely has Fight of the Year written all over it . Neither of us are afraid to let our hands go and no matter what happens , the fans are going to be winners on Saturday. ” כריס Arreola “I understand that Adam is the favorite because he’s undefeated and fighting in his hometown . בסופו של היום, none of that matters to me . I’m going to give it my all for this fight . “I’m carefree right now . I have no stress . אם אני מפסיד, I’m okay with walking way . But I’m not here to do that . I’m here to win . “אני יודע שיש לי יריב קשה מולי. I have my work cut out for me . But ‘The Nightmare ’ is going to keep going . “I went to Joe Goossen as my trainer because I knew it was time to make a change . I have to make this last run count . This is the best team I could imagine . Joe makes you work on your mistakes . I believe the winner of this fight is whoever takes advantage of the first mistake . “I respect everybody outside of the ring , but once we’re in the ring , I’m not friends with anyone . We’ll shake hands after the final bell , but I’m here to put on a show . It’s lights , מצלמה, action and time to shine . “He’s a volume puncher . He just keeps coming and he’s smiling at you the whole time . בסופו של היום, I’m going to put a frown on his face Saturday . “My prediction is that the fans are going to get their money’s worth . You better record this one , because you’re going to watch it again and again . I’m going to come out with my hand raised. ” מרקוס בראון “Being in training in Colorado really lets me get attuned to my game plan . It’s just waking up every day and working with that same mentality where I’m focused on nothing but the fight . It’s all about going in there and getting that win . “I’m going to punish Pascal on Saturday . If the knockout is how he wants to go , אני אהיה מוכן. I promise I’m going to beat him for 12 סיבובים. “It feels great to be here defending my belt . I’ll be in a better position after this fight . I’m going to make a statement in this fight and put Pascal in his place . “Pascal is a guy who doesn’t come to lay down , he comes to beat you . That’s what the sport is about . You have to fight guys of that stature if you’re not fighting champions . “A win on Saturday puts me in contention to fight for a world title next . That’s my focus , but before that , it’s about Jean Pascal and taking care of him the right way . “This is a great card for New York with me , Adam and Curtis all representing our home city . It’s great for us to be in this position together. ” ג'יאן פסקאל “Marcus has been saying that he’s going to go in there and try to knock me out , but I’m no amateur . I know what his game plan is going to be . He’s going to run around the ring and try to hold . We all know he’s the best at running like a chicken . “When I was Marcus ’ גיל, I was already a world champion . He was watching me on TV when he was at the Olympics . “How is he going to knock me out ? I think without the cut that Badou Jack had in their fight , he would have knocked Marcus out . “אני מוכן. I’m a solid fighter . I’ve fought the best , so I don’t think Marcus will be able to knock me out . “I’m too good all-around for Marcus . This is my chance to show that I still have a lot of gas left in the tank . I’m still good enough to fight at the very top level of the sport. ” CURTIS STEVENS “This is my first time fighting at Barclays Center , and I’m going to give the fans a taste of what they’ve been missing . “I decided that I’d go down to 154-pounds because my camp has a lot of the top 160-pound fighters so we were getting in each other’s way . There are a lot of opportunities for me in this weight class as well . “No matter what has happened in my career , I have always come back . I’m mentally always ready to bounce back . I’ve had layoffs in my career , but I know that I’m going to get where I need to be . “Nobody calls me out because they know I can punch . I’m too risky for the top fighters because they know there’s a chance they get knocked out . “It’s incredible to have this opportunity to fight at Barclays Center for the first time . It’s going to be a good time for me and all the fans. ” בית OMOTOSO “I’m not worried about Stevens being at a new weight . I don’t think it’s going to affect him that much . ביום שבת, we’re both going to do our best to get the win . “He’s a big puncher who brawls . But I’m a big puncher too . He’s been there and fought everybody , but I’m going to show the world what I can do . “I think this is going to be a toe-to-toe fight . There might be some feeling out , but as the fight goes on and we get into the middle rounds , it’s going to be fought in the middle of the ring . “I’ve trained well for this fight and had sparring with lots of different fighters . The different styles that I’ve seen throughout camp will have me prepared for anything Stevens shows me on Saturday night. ” # # # ABOUT KOWNACKI VS .
