"Kev cob qhia pw hav zoov yuav mus zoo. Nws tau ua haujlwm nyuaj raws li ib txwm thiab tsis muaj dab tsi tiag txawv tshwj xeeb rau kev sib ntaus no. Pom tseeb nws yog ib txwm muaj kev ua si phiaj xwm sib txawv rau lwm tus sib txawv tab sis yog hais tias yog hais txog nws.
"Kuv tsis ua ntau yam kev hloov kho los ntawm kuv kev sib ntaus dhau los, Tsuas yog noj dab tsi uas kuv kawm tau los ntawm txhua qhov kev sib ntaus thiab coj cov kev kawm paub nrog koj. Mus rau hauv qhov kev sib ntaus no peb yuav twv yuav muaj qee qhov kev paub dhau los tshwm sim.
"Nws tau txais los ze zog. Kuv xav tias nws txhua hnub. Nws tau nce thiab qhov kev txaus siab yog breading. Kom ze dua nws tau txais kev zoo siab dua thiab ntau rau qhov kuv tau txais.

”My motivation is to prove the doubters wrong.
“I have faced a tougher opposition than Keith Thurman. I feel like that may work most to my advantage. I think that there will come points in this fight where I will put him up against things that he has never been up against. It is all about how he reacts to what I throw at him.
“My plan is to go in there and shake him up, make him uncomfortable and carry the fight just like that.
“I am ready and whatever Thurman has to bring. Kuv npaj tau rau 12 rounds, I’m ready to knock him out. I’m ready to do whatever it takes to win. Kuv npaj txhij.
On sparring with Thurman…
“We expect what we saw in sparring with him to show up in the fight. He moved around a lot when we sparred. There weren’t very many clean shots landed by either of us, but I know from sparring with him that I have to be aggressive and that I have to cutoff the ring.
“I would say that for the majority of this fight it is probably going to be me as the aggressor. He likes to bully guys at the beginning of the fight to wear them down to feel himself out.. We’re expecting him to move a lot more against me.
“We’re going to be aggressive, we’re going to be smart, we’re looking beyond this fight.
"Hauv kuv txoj kev sib ntaus zaum kawg Kuv tsis tau ntaus ntau heev thiab kuv tau noj tib lub tswv yim thiab kev tiv thaiv mus rau qhov kev sib ntaus no.
Ntawm kev ua Groyd tom ntej Willweather Jr ...

"Raws li Floyd Mayweather thiab Manny Pacquiao, Kuv xav tias cov ntsej muag yuav ploj mus. Tus Welterweight chav kawm yog txaus siab thiab muaj yuav yog lub ntsej muag tshiab nyob rau sab saum toj ntawm qeb duas. Kuv xav tias lub ntsej muag ua kuv.
"Kuv tsis ua ib qho kev twv ua ntej; Kuv tsuas yog paub kuv yuav yeej.
"Kuv tau tos rau qhov sib ntaus sib tua txij li 2013. Kuv nyuam qhuav tau kuv lub npe ces thiab kuv tuaj yeem pom txoj kev nws txoj haujlwm tau txav mus uas muaj kev sib tsoo. Peb tsis paub txog kev sib ntaus ntev npaum li cas yuav siv sijhawm los yog thaum nws yuav tshwm sim, Tab sis peb paub tias nws los.
"Thaum kuv tau hais txog kev sib ntaus no tau tshwm sim txhua yam kuv tuaj yeem xav tias 'ok, Cia peb ua nws 'thiab nws tau siv qee lub sijhawm los ua kev sib ntaus tshwm sim tab sis thaum peb thaum kawg tau ua peb lub ntsej muag, Nws tau zoo heev rau saib nws nyob rau hauv lub qhov muag thiab qhia nws paub 'Kuv tabtom tom koj.'
"Rau kuv tawm tsam Keith nws ib txwm muaj qee yam uas yog ib feem ntawm kuv txoj haujlwm, Txhua Lub Lag Luam Tsis Tus Kheej. Nws tsuas yog qee yam uas kuv xav tau ua kom tau mus rau qhov chaw uas kuv xav tau.
"Keith Thurman yog ib tug tua neeg zoo. Tsis muaj dab tsi tiag tiag lo rau kuv li ib yam dab tsi uas kuv yuav tsum txhawj txog. Nws yog tus ncaws pob zoo thiab lub thawv zoo, Tab sis nws yog neeg ntaus heev, nws tsuas yog tsis tau rov qab.
"Koj tsuas yog zoo li koj tau sib tw kawg. Yog tias koj saib ntawm Kell Brook kev sib ntaus, Kuv tsis zoo li kuv yuav tsum tau ua. Txij thaum ntawd los kuv zoo heev, tab sis tseem kuv xav tias koj tsuas yog ua tau zoo li koj kev sib ntaus zaum kawg kom txog thaum koj ua pov thawj txwv tsis pub.
"Nws yog thiab tsis yog tus kheej. Rau Keith yuav tsum tau txiav txim siab ib qho ntawm cov dev sab saum toj hauv chav kawm hnyav no, Nws yog tus kheej rau kuv los ntaus nws thiab kav nws. Lwm yam tshaj li ntawd, Nws yog txhua txoj kev lag luam. "
Ken neeg nqa khoom
Txog nws tus tub tus kws qhia ...
"Vim tias kuv muaj keeb kwm ntawm kev ua haujlwm nrog ntau cov lus qhuab qhia sab saum toj uas tau txav mus rau theem kev, Kuv xav tias shawn pom tias hauv kuv ua ntug. "

Kuv tau ua haujlwm nyob rau hauv nws kaum nyob rau hauv kev lom zem sib ntaus ua ntej, Kuv tau ua haujlwm hauv nws lub ces kaum hauv kev sib ntaus pro.
"Keith Paub Shawn, Lawv tau ywb 30 rounds. Nws paub nrawm thiab yuav tsis los hauv lub nplhaib sim los tsaws ib qho kev txhaj tshuaj tseem ceeb txij thaum pib. Yog tias nws cuam li punch ntawd, nws tej zaum khiav lwm cov kev taw qhia tib lub sijhawm.
"Kuv yuav twv [Thurman] los rau hauv lub nplhaib thiab sib ntaus, Tab sis kuv paub tias nws yuav tawm tsam. Kuv paub tias nws yuav sim ua rau lub thawv tawm hauv peb thiab sim tsaws cov slick thiab tsis tau xav txog. Txhua tus tuaj yeem tsaws rau koj, uas tshwm sim, Tab sis nws yog qhov koj ua tom qab punch uas suav.
"Peb tab tom nrhiav rau pem hauv ntej kom ua lag luam punches, boxing nrog nws, slugging nrog nws. We’re looking for a fight.”
On what it will take to win this fight…
“At this point in time, there’s going to be a lot of adjustments that have to be made, and I can’t just determine what it’s going to take to do it, but I know it’s going to take everything – speed, quickness, hwj chim, aggressiveness, txias, making adjustments mentally – it’s an intellectual fight.”
