“Dajem Chris puno kredit. On je došao naprijed mnogo više nego što smo mislili da bi i on je imao veliku bradu večeras.

 

“Chris je njegov dao sve večeras. Ovo je najbolje Algieri smo vidjeli u dugo vremena, a ako on bi se borio Manny (Pacquiao) na taj način mogao je osvojio.

 

“Svako zna da želim Floyd (Mayweather) sljedeći nakon svih razgovora o tome, ali kada čekati i nadam se za nešto za ovako dugo to može vas koštati. Ne želim da se zanemariti bilo koji drugi borci, uključujući i Chris.

 

“Moj prvi koncert sa PBC je bilo super. The New York Publika je bila super i stvarno sam u nju. Promocija je bila odlična i ja sam ponosan što sam dio ovog tima.”

 

CHRIS Algieri

 

“Mislio sam da sam pod pritiskom Khan dobro i dobio moju dodirima. On definitivno nije mi se kad sam ušao u njegovo tijelo.

 

“Mislio sam ga nekoliko puta sam povredio, ali Khan je lukav borac i on vrti off. Pretpostavljam da je sudija dopalo večeras. Ja bih da je sredstvo za čišćenje, teže snimaka bi se malo više poštovanja.

 

“Mislim da je PBC je fantastičan. Fokus je na borce, a ne politika ili promotori. Ovo pomaže dovesti sport nazad u boks slavu dana centralnih događaja za fanove.

 

“Nisam mislio mnogo o nakon ove borbe. Razočaran sam, ali ja ću gledati film iz ove borbe i idemo dalje.”

 

JAVIER FORTUNA

 

“Ja sam vrlo iznenađen da je borba se bacio na daljinu. Vasquez je snažan borac. Nakon petog kruga, Ja sam boks na bodove.

 

“Ja nikada stvarno boli od Vasquez, ali sam povredio svoju ruku na glavu.

 

“Vasquez nije stvarno utiče na mene u cijeloj borbi. Oteklina na mom oku je iz Headbutt.

 

“Najveći ključ mog uspjeha večeras je bio moj trening. Prije nego što ovo nisam imao dovoljno snage da mi treba. Međutim, nakon mog rada sa Hector Bermudez su dovele do ove borbe bio sam više nego spreman.

 

“Postati prvak ovdje u New Yorku je ogroman za mene. Ja sam jako ponosna na moj nastup večeras.”

 

BRYAN VASQUEZ

 

“Moj stil je da se kutije i onda kreću. Fortuna borio pametan borba večeras. On me i borba ne bi angažovati.

 

“Fortuna koristi glavu i laktovima puno večeras, ali ne želim da se koriste kao izgovor. Pokušao sam govorio sudija, ali ništa nije učinjeno.

 

“Naporno sam radio za tri mjeseca obuke doći do ovog borbu. Nadam se da sam dobio preko nekih fanova danas, jer sam se boriti da im udovolji.

 

“Nadam se da ću dobiti revanš, jer ovo nije kraj moje karijere, i ja bih priliku da da pojas od Fortuna.

 

“Želim da se zahvalim PBC za ovu priliku. Bilo je sjajno kao dio ove predstave i nadam se da će misliti na mene ponovo u budućnosti.”

Evo šta učesnici su imali da kažu Srijeda:

 

AMIR KHAN

 

I really believe that I have the movement, the skills and the technique to beat Chris Algieri and look spectacular doing it.

 

Algieri has been in the ring with big names before so we know that’s not going to scare him and he won’t get nervous. I’m going to be ready for anything he brings to the table.

 

This is going to be an entertaining fight because of our styles. We both like to throw a lot of punches and there will be a lot of movement. This will be a more skillful fight and I think the fans will enjoy what they see.

 

I’ve always wanted to fight here at Barclays Center and I really am excited to put on a great performance for all the New Yorkers.

 

Virgil Hunter has been great for me as a fighter and he’s helped me really understand the sport of boxing. I’ve worked on my technique and my defense and really just everything.

 

Training camp for me has been really good. I’m focused on my opponent and I’m not going to make any mistakes. It’s going to be a great performance from me u petak.”

 

CHRIS Algieri

 

This is going to be a great fight with two fast-paced boxers. It’s going to be very exciting for everyone watching.

 

Working down in Florida with John David Jackson really refreshed a lot of things in boxing for me. I got to see new things and try new things. I learned a lot.

 

The only thing that matters is proving something to myself and I do feel like I have to prove something. I wasn’t happy with my last performance at all. I know I belong here at the elite level and it’s time for me to prove it.

 

I like to challenge myself and this is a great opportunity. I’m ready for this, I will challenge anybody in the welterweight division.

 

I feel very comfortable being here in New York and I’m happy to be back at Barclays Center.

 

JAVIER FORTUNA

 

For me it is an honor to be here in Brooklyn. This will be a great night for all of my fans.

 

I hope my opponent doesn’t have any excuses u petak, because I’m going to knock him out.

 

Everyone here is going to see a great performance and I can’t wait to get in the ring.

 

I’m a strong fighter and I am looking forward to showing everyone what I am capable of.

 

BRYAN VASQUEZ

 

I’m very thankful to be here and I look forward to a great fight. I promise it’s going to be a war.

 

I’m an exciting fighter who always comes to fight. This is my time and I will not disappoint.

 

Fighting in New York is a great opportunity. I want people to see that Costa Rica has great fighters.

 

I know I have a tough opponent, but he has never faced anyone like me. I’m going to give it my all and I hope he does the same.

 

MARCUS BROWNE

 

I feel like having a daughter has given me the kick in the rear that really has me focused on what I want to do, which is becoming a world champion. I want to give her a better life than I ever had.

 

My intensity and focus has never been higher. The fun part of boxing is back again.

 

I told my daughter that ‘daddy is going to give you the world.So I guess I need to become a world champion to give her the world. Her first word might be ‘champ.'

 

I’m so thankful to all the people at Barclays Center that allow me to continue to show off my talent and skills in this beautiful building.

 

Fighting on this Premier Boxing Champions card is really special and amazing. When I went to the Olympics in 2012 we stayed in Bolton and worked out at Amir Khan’s gym, now it comes full circle.

 

Fans can expect to see ‘spizazzfrom me. That’s a word I came up with back in my amateur days. I’m here to bring that ‘spizazz’ nazad, if you want to know what that is you have to buy a ticket for Petak noći.”

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

I don’t look past what is in front of me. I have a really tough challenge in front of me u petak. I know she has an incredible desire to win and I’m ready for that.

 

I’m a pretty aggressive fighter but I’ve been known to box. I go in there and make adjustments but I’m not afraid to throw punches.

 

There was a really unfinished feeling after my last fight, I was disappointed. I expected more from my opponent. I wanted to put on a show for fans to remember.

 

I definitely want to make up for my last fight this time and I feel like my opponent is on the same page with me about where we need to go to take this sport further.

Here is what Khan and Algieri had to say about training camp, each other and more:

 

AMIR KHAN

 

Algieri is a fighter that has a lot of skills and assets. His range and height give him good advantages against opponents but I believe with my speed, movement and style it will be too much for him.

 

Each day me and Virgil Hunter are getting stronger and we have built a really good rapport. It takes time to get that but he understands my style even more now and what works for me so we’re only going to keep growing.

 

My aim since I was a kid and got into this sport was to be the very best. I fulfilled a dream when I got to the Olympics at 17 and brought back a silver medal. Later I became a world champion and then unified the light-welterweight division. My goal now is to fight the very best at 147 pounds and make my mark on this division too.

 

I was away in training camp when my daughter turned one last week. It’s hard to be away from her but as a fighter those are the sacrifices you have to make. Everything I do is for her and I can’t wait to see her and spend time with her after this fight. Her birthday celebrations have been put on hold until after the fight!

 

I’m really looking forward to returning to New York and fighting at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. I have good memories of this city because it’s the place where I had my first fight on US soil against Paulie Malignaggi in 2010 and also where I got married. I’m out to make it another good time this weekend.

 

 

CHRIS Algieri

I know that it gets said all the time, but this was truly the best and most intense training camp of my life. Working with John David Jackson has truly been a blessing. He has brought out the best Chris Algieri there is. You are going to see a whole new fighter come Petak noć.

 

I am excited to be back in New York and excited to show the world what I am really made of u petak noć. We are just a few days away from the fight and I am so anxious to get in there and get to work.

 

Amir is a tough fighter there is no doubt about that, but I am very confident in my ability and the game plan that coach has come up with for me.

 

You are going to see two proven champions in a high intensity and high level fight, laying everything on the line come Petak noći.”
