Biću korak bliže svom cilju osvajanja titule prvaka svijeta u teškoj kategoriji.

Claressa SHIELDS

“This has been long overdue. I’m just glad that Hammer is here and the fight is set. She’s been at my fights before but I can’t wait to get inside the ring and show her I’m the real champion.

“I’ve traveled to many different countries and dethroned champions around the world. Na kraju dana, I’m coming to fight and I recognize that she’s a great champion. To be a champion for all those years shows that she’s a good fighter. But I also look at resumes, and her resume is not as good as mine.

“I’m not someone coming to lay down. I’m not afraid of her. You don’t win belts by talking. You have to fight. I said two years ago I want to fight Christina Hammer in my seventh fight. It would have been if it weren’t for her medical issue. But now we’re here and ready for April 13.

“April 13 you’re going to see someone fold. Obećavam ti, it will not be me. Make sure you all tune-in.

“I think for women’s boxing this is a true super fight that we’ve never gotten before. We’ve never had a fight like this in women’s boxing. It’s great to make this happen and us being from two parts of the world makes this fight even better.

“She’s not the tallest girl I’ve ever fought. I’m stronger than her and I know it. I got up from a knockdown and won. She can’t do that. I don’t believe she knows how to fight on the inside, but she better learn.

“I want to make her quit. I don’t want her to just know I’m a good fighter, I want her to know I’m great. I wish we could go 12 kruga, but I’ll be prepared for all 10 rounds.”

CHRISTINA HAMMER

“I’m very glad to be here and make this fight happen. I’m looking forward to April 13. I want to show the world who I am.

“This is a big risk to come from Germany to the U.S., but I believe the best should fight the best and I did what I had to so that this could happen. This fight can be a game changer for our sport.

“I will give everything to step out of the ring as a winner. I know Claressa Shields is also a great champion. She’s undefeated like me and that’s why people want to see the fight and that’s why we made it happen.

“I want to thank everyone who made this fight a reality and brought us to this stage. It’s huge for me to be here in New York and I am looking to win on April 13.

“This fight is the real deal. This is going to be a game changer for women’s boxing. I think we’re going to inspire a lot of female athletes who want to live their dream. It’s motivation for everyone.

“I’ve had the title for a long time. I always push myself. This is the fight I wanted to show everyone who is the best. I will be the undisputed champion.

“Shields is beatable. Hanna Gabriels caught her in the first round of their fight and I am taller and stronger than Gabriels. I want to finish the job if I get the chance.

“Svašta se može dogoditi u boksu. I’m prepared to go the distance. Knockout is the goal but most importantly, I want to win.”

DMITRIY SALITA, Predsjednik promocije Salita

“I’m honored to bring to the fans the first super fight in women’s boxing history. A lot of questions surround this fight. Will this be a classic like Leonard vs. Hearns, where the gold medalist handles the experienced pro, or like Mosley vs. De La Hoya, where the boxing pro took the gold medalist down. This fight is going to be for all of the belts and this recognizes the true value and impact of this fight.

“Christina Hammer has been a world champion for over nine years and has won titles in two divisions. She’s charismatic and a superstar in Germany and Europe. As a champion that she is, she’s traveling to the other side of the world to prove that she’s the best.

“Claressa made the Olympic team when she was 17 godina star, winning our only boxing medal at the 2012 Olimpijske igre. She’s the only boxer in U.S. history to win two Olympic gold medals in boxing. She’s had a very impressive pro career, beating world champions and top contenders in all her fights. She’s on her journey to be the best and this fight is a big step toward cementing herself as the GWOAT (greatest woman of all time).

“This is going to be a historic night of boxing. If you watch this fight live and in-person, you will want to hold onto your ticket as a memento.”

MARK Taffet, Claressa Shields’ menadžer

“The media support for this fight is outstanding. This is a very special time. This fight is one of the most significant fights I’ve worked on in my career, because of the place it will hold in history.

“Two years ago I met Claressa Shields and we discussed her turning pro. We made a list of dreams and I promised Claressa I would do everything in my power to fulfill every one of them. We’ve had a wonderful journey together. One of those dreams was to make this undisputed championship fight happen. We’re going to keep making dreams happen.”

TOM LOEFFLER, Christina Hammer’s Advisor

“Without the fighters wanting this fight, events like this wouldn’t happen. Christina Hammer wants this challenge and she wants to prove she’s the best middleweight champion out there.

“These two fighters can be an example for a lot of male boxers. These are two undefeated fighters in their prime putting it all on the line to show who is the best. You don’t see that very often these days.

“This is going to be a fun promotion. This is a fight that’s a real 50-50 borba. Claressa will be coming forward with her style and tenacity, going up against Christina’s experience. It’s for all the marbles”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & događaj Programiranje, Showtime Networks Inc.

“Let’s get one thing straight here. This isn’t just an important women’s fight. This isn’t just a high-quality women’s boxing match. This is a high-quality boxing match. This is an important fight. So certainly we have two very skilled women, we’re not going to ignore that fact. But this is one of the best fights that can be made in this sport. Two pound-for-pound boxers, najbolji bore najbolji. If you are not interested in this fight, then candidly, you are not a boxing fan. This is as good as this sport gets.

“We at SHOWTIME have a long history showcasing the best in women’s boxing and MMA. Names like Laila Ali, Christy Martin, Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Gina Carano, Cris Cyborg.; those are all fighters who made their debuts and that became stars on SHOWTIME. This has been a long-time commitment.

“The first nationally televised women’s MMA event was on SHOWTIME. The first domestic televised MMA women’s main event was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s boxing match that was nationally televised was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s main event boxing bout was also on SHOWTIME, and that obviously was Claressa just a couple of years ago.

“So here on this stage you’ve got two of the most elite athletes in the sport. Not two of the elite women’s fighters in the sport, but two of the elite athletes within this sport. Two-time gold medalist, the only American to do that consecutively, and a two-belt world champion versus a longtime middleweight champion who has dominated this division for nearly a decade.

“This is one of the best fights that can be made in the entire sport. We have two of the elite athletes in boxing and they are deserving of having everything that comes with a marquee event on SHOWTIME, including our Emmy Award-winning All Access series.”

JIM WYNKOOP, General Manager, Boardwalk Hall

“We are so excited to have this great fight coming to Boardwalk Hall. It will be our first championship fight in several years and we can’t wait.

“There is a huge history of boxing at Boardwalk hall in Atlantic City and we look forward to writing another chapter on April 13.”

The blockbuster unification from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. will be the main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIJALNO IZDANJE žive u 9 poslije podne. ET/PT and is arguably the most significant women’s boxing event in history.



Shields vs. Hammer features two of the consensus top-10 pound-for-pound fighters in the world squaring off to crown only the second undisputed champion in female boxing history.The fight, originally scheduled for November 2018, was postponed due to a now-resolved medical issue suffered by Hammer.



The 23-year-old Shields (8-0, 2 KOs) is a two-division champion who holds the IBF, WBA and WBC 160-pound titles. The 28-year-old Hammer (24-0, 11 KOs) owns the WBO belt, is the WBC Champion in Recess, and has dominated the women’s middleweight division for more than eight years. Shields and Hammer fought on the same card last June on SHOWTIME, with both fighters winning impressively to set up the first undisputed showdown in the women’s 160-pound division.



The winner of Shields vs. Hammer will join Terrence Crawford, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, Oleksandr Usyk and women’s welterweight Cecilia Braekhus as the only fighters to have unified all four major world titles in any weight class.



Shields vs. Hammer is promoted by Salita Promotions. Ticket prices and on-sale date will be announced next week by Boardwalk Hall.



“I always seek the biggest challenges and set the highest goals. I will be ready like never before and will defeat Christina Hammer on April 13,” said Shields. “Nothing will stop me from becoming undisputed champion and continuing my journey to carry women’s boxing to never-before-seen heights. I want to be the greatest of all time and change the game forever for all women in sports, i april 13 is an important step on that road to history.”



“I have waited a long time for this moment,” said Hammer. “I am bigger, stronger and more experienced than Claressa Shields. I am undefeated and have been a champion for over eight years. I can’t wait to show the world that I am the best and undisputed middleweight champion of the world.”



“SHOWTIME Sports has a long history of featuring the best in women’s combat sports, whether it was with Laila Ali and Christy Martin in boxing, or Gina Carano, Cris Cyborg and Ronda Rousey in MMA,” said Gordon Hall, Izvršni producent SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIJALNO IZDANJE. “More recently, pošto 2016 we have featured today’s elite with Claressa Shields, Christina Hammer, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano appearing in an industry-leading 10 presentations of women’s boxing. Male or female, SHOWTIME has delivered the best fighters in their toughest matchups, i april 13 Neće biti drugačiji. We have two of the best pound-for-pound female fighters in the world facing each other with all four middleweight titles at stake. It doesn’t get much better than that.”



“The biggest women’s fight of all time is set to take place on April 13 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “Claressa Shields and Christina Hammer, oba Champions, both in their prime, are not only taking on the biggest challenge in their respective careers by meeting each other in the ring, but are breaking barriers for boxing and for women in sports. April 13 is destined to be an electric and historic night of boxing live on SHOWTIME.”



“Shields vs. Hammer is the biggest and most important fight in women’s boxing history – two undefeated unified champions in their prime battling for the undisputed middleweight championship of the world,” said Shields’ manager Mark Taffet. “Christina Hammer is indeed a very good fighter and champion, but Claressa Shields is once-in-a-lifetime. The same intense focus and determination that got Claressa through life, earned her two Olympic gold medals, and won her five world titles in eight pro fights will carry her to victory on April 13.”



“We are very excited to bring world-class championship boxing back to Atlantic City’s Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall,” said Matt Doherty, Executive Director of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. “This reinforces the CRDA’s commitment to attract world-class sporting events and increase visitors to our destination.”



Shields was the first American boxer in history – male or female – to win consecutive Olympic gold medals. The Flint, Mičigen, native turned professional following the 2016 Olympics and became unified women’s super middleweight world champion in just her fourth professional fight. Shields moved down to middleweight for her June 22 headliner on SHOWTIME, defeating Hanna Gabriels to win the IBF and WBA titles and become a two-division champion in just her sixth professional contest. After Hammer was named WBC Champion in Recess due to her medical issue, Shields picked up the vacant WBC title last November with a unanimous decision over Hannah Rankin. She most recently defended all three titles in December against Femke Hermans.



Čekić, of Dortmund, Njemačka, has been the dominant force in the women’s middleweight division since winning the WBO title in 2010. Hammer became unified champion in 2016 with a unanimous decision over WBC titlist Kali Reis and made four defenses as unified champion. In her eight years as champion, Hammer has lost just a handful of rounds across 16 svetsku titulu tuče. Čekić, who also models professionally and was recently featured at Fashion Week in New York City, made her U.S. debut on June 22 after campaigning mostly in Germany since turning professional in 2009. After being forced to withdraw from the November unification due to the health issue, Hammer won a non-title fight via second round knockout last Saturday, Februar 9 u Njemačkoj.



The undercard for the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION telecast will be announced in the coming weeks.

Isiah Seldon ready for undefeated middleweight Tyler Howard on November 16th in Oklahoma City

Ostavite komentar

Atlantic City, NJ (Novembar 1, 2018) – Middleweight Isiah Seldon is getting ready for his biggest fight of his career when he takes on undefeated Tyler Howard in a bout scheduled for eight-round on November 16th at The Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

 

 

 

Borbe, which is promoted by Top Rank, will be streamed live on ESPN+.

 

 

 

The main event will see WBO Junior Welterweight champion Maurice Hooker defending against Alex Saucedo.

 

 

 

Seldon (12-1-1, 4 KOs) has been training in Atlantic City under the watchful eye of Bill Johnson.

 

 

 

“I am looking forward to this great opportunity,” said Seldon. “I have been longing for an opportunity to take on a fighter such as Howard as a win will take my career to the next level.”

 

 

 

Team Seldon, has been working diligently with longtime manager Jim Kurtz very excited about the opportunity that Seldon has in front of him.

 

 

 

“It doesn’t get any bigger than fighting on a Top Rank show with an explosive main event between Hooker and Saucedo. The staff at Top Rank has been top notch. I am really excited for Isiah to get this opportunity to display his talents on a big stage. Myself and co-manager Joe Thompson are convinced Isiah is ready to shine on November 16th and it can’t get here fast enough,” said Kurtz, who has managed Seldon from day one.

 

 

 

Kurtz also managed Seldon’s father, WBA Heavyweight champion, Bruce Seldon.

 

 

 

“Isiah has reunited with his original trainer Bill Johnson and they haven’t skipped a beat. This is the first time Isiah has had a full fledged training camp. We haven’t left any stone unturned in preparation for this fight. Isiah’s conditioning is at a point that I have never seen with him before. He is getting great sparring and his improvement working with Bill in preparation for this fight has been incredible. He is ready to show the world a new and improved Isiah Seldon. He has a large legacy to follow being the son of former WBA Heavyweight Champion Bruce Seldon but Isiah is determined to make his own mark on the sport of boxing.”

 

 

 

“He has always had power in both hands, scoring knockdown in almost every fight, but now he is learning to remain calm and finish guys instead of getting overly excited and letting them off the hook. He is punching harder than ever before, putting his punches together and his boxing ability has reached a level where he can control the pace of the fight. We have taken it slow with Isiah considering he didn’t have any amateur fights but we are now at the point where he is ready to make his mark on the Middleweight division.”

 

 

 

“We know Tyler Howard is a good undefeated fighter. He had a good amateur career, comes from a family with a boxing background, and has a solid management team who have done a great job with him. On November 16th we expect a tough fight with some fireworks but we are confident Isiah will emerge victorious and this will lead us to bigger and better opportunities.”

“Ostvarivanje prve pobjede za moj tim je značilo sve,” rekao je Penafiel. “Želeo sam da dam ton svom timu i da svima stavim do znanja da smo tu da krenemo. Znao sam (Khamzayev) bio težak, ali ja sam previše za njega. Čak i kada je pokušao da me udari, mogao sam da se osećam udobno. A u odjelu za grappling mislim da se mnogi ljudi ne mogu zezati sa mnom.”

 

 

 

Drugi zvanični timski meč Cody Here tima Pennsylvania osigurao je pobjedu tehničkim nokautom Gabriel Ruiz tima New Jersey 3:43 u drugo kolo i tim Pensilvaniji doneo još pet bodova, proširuju svoju prednost 8 – 0.

Mogao sam reći da je Ruiz izašao i da je dao otkaz. Kada sam ga udario sa prvim velikim udarcem, Osjetio sam kako sam ga dobro označio. A onda kada je pokušao da pređe na njegovu stranu tada sam stvarno postao agresivan i dokrajčio ga.”

 

 

 

U trećoj borbi, Tim New Jersey's Claudio Ledesma pobijedio jednoglasnom odlukom (29-27, 30-27, 30-27) više Andre Bernardo tima Pennsylvania, donoseći timu New Jersey prva tri boda i zaoštravajući timsko takmičenje 8 – 3.

 

 

 

“Bilo mi je drago što sam dao svoj dio za svoj tim,” rekla je Ledesma. “Malo sam ljuta što ga nisam mogla zaustaviti, iako. Udario sam ga svime osim sudoperom, ali jednostavno ga nisam mogao završiti. Nakon drugog kruga, jednom sam shvatio da verovatno neću da završim (Bernardo), Znao sam da mi je glavni cilj samo osigurati pobjedu i to sam i učinio.”

 

 

 

Četvrto zvanično takmičenje večeri donelo je jednoglasnu odluku (29-27, 29-27, 29-27) pobeda od Zedekija Montanez tima Pennsylvania je završen Mike Pagano tima New Jersey, osvojivši još tri boda za tim Pensilvanije i povećavši prednost 11 – 3.

U večernjem petom meču, Tim Pensilvanije Rafael Celestino savladao tim New Jerseya Emmanuel Walo jednoglasnom odlukom (30-27, 29-28, 29-28). Sa Celestinovom pobjedom, Tim Pensilvanije je sakupio još tri boda, produžavajući rezultat 14 – 3, i službeno osigurao pobjedu tima Pennsylvania.

 

 

 

“Veoma sam zadovoljan svojom pobjedom i što mogu pomoći svom timu da dođe do pobjede večeras,” rekao je Celestino. “Walo je veoma težak protivnik i došao je da se bori večeras, ali učinio sam dovoljno da dođem do pobjede i zadovoljan sam svojim učinkom.”

 

 

 

Šesto i poslednje zvanično takmičenje pokazalo je uzbudljivo finale kao Kevin Sears tima New Jersey postigao je jednoglasnu odluku (29-28, 29-27, 29-27) više Ahmed Samir tima Pennsylvania, donoseći konačni timski rezultat 14 – 6 u korist tima Pensilvanije.

 

 

 

“Ušao sam tamo i borio se za svoj tim, ali sam se borio i za svoju kćer i svoju porodicu,” rekao je Sears. “Ovo radim da bih svojoj ćerki poboljšao život. Pomaže me gurati i tjera me na borbu. Samir me je potresao u prvoj rundi, a zatim ponovo u drugom, ali samo sam kopao duboko i uradio ono što je trebalo da dobijem ovu pobedu.”

 

 

 

“Način na koji smo pobijedili pokazao mi je mnogo o mom timu,” rekao je trener Gracie. “Odlučno smo pobijedili i pokazali učinak kakav sam očekivao od svojih momaka.

 

 

 

“MMA treba inovacije i nešto novo što će uzbuditi navijače i pomoći da se mase dovedu u naš sport,” dodala je Gracie. “Mislim da je MMA Pro liga i ovaj koncept tima upravo ono što će pomoći da se privuče dodatna pažnja i da se ovaj sport podigne na viši nivo.”

Atlantic City, N.J. (Septembar 13, 2018) – Kako se približava noć borbe za inauguralni događaj MMA Pro lige, borci iz tima glavnog trenera Dana Millera iz New Jerseya i tima Pennsylvania glavnog trenera Daniela Graciea učestvovali su u medijskim treninzima u četvrtak na Hard Rock Live u Atlantic Cityju.

Najnoviji entitet u MMA počinje ove subote, Septembar 15 u novom Hard Rock Hotelu & Casino Atlantic City u mečevima prijenos uživo na FloCombat.com (9 poslije podne. ET / 6 sati. PT). Ulaznice za inauguralnu ratu “MMA PRO liga na tvrdom stijenu” su dostupni na ulaznemaster.com.

Cijeli izvještaj o utakmici dostupan je OVDJE. Evo šta su prisutni borci i čelnici lige imali da kažu u četvrtak:

DAN MILLER, Glavni trener tima New Jersey

“Mnogo znači biti trener tima New Jersey. To je moja matična država i to je veliki događaj za nju. Sviđa mi se koncept tima i ponosan sam što sam na ovoj poziciji.

“Ovdje predstavljamo cijelu državu. Zajedno smo trenirali tim i gradili drugarstvo. To je poput stila hrvanja u kojem svaki tim šalje ljude van.

“Svi izgledaju dobro i zdravo u trening kampu. Mislim da smo spremni za polazak. Sve ove borbe će biti fantastične. Oni su veoma dobro upareni i trebalo bi da bude zabavno veče. Tim Pensilvanije bolje da bude spreman, jer naši momci jesu.”

DANIEL GRACIE, Trener tima Pensilvanije

“Na treningu je sve bilo savršeno. Već dugo radim sa većinom ovih momaka, tako da smo samo nastavili ono na čemu smo radili. Sa timskim konceptom imamo mnogo više ljudi na koje se možemo fokusirati umjesto samo jednog ili dvoje. Ipak smo već imali dobru hemiju, tako da je sve proteklo glatko.

“Naši momci amateri koji postaju profesionalci će pokazati da im je mjesto u ovim borbama. Vrijeme je da uhvatite reflektore. Vaša prva borba je najbolja prilika da ostavite utisak.

“Mislim da je MMA potrebno nešto novo što može privući pažnju ljudi. Ovo je sjajna šansa da dovedete navijače koji ne obraćaju pažnju na MMA i pružite im priliku da stanu iza svojih lokalnih timova.”

HANI DARWISH, Izvršni direktor MMA Pro lige

“Navijači bi trebali očekivati ​​nešto potpuno drugačije nego što su navikli. MMA je oduvijek bio timski sport i drago mi je da ćemo mi biti ti koji će to izložiti svijetu. Ovi momci su uvek trenirali sa timom, jer ne možete sami da trenirate.

“Vjerujemo da će ovo biti nova era MMA. Dat ćemo gradovima i državama širom svijeta priliku da zaista stanu iza svojih timova.

“Bilo je puno napornog rada i strateškog planiranja koji su doveli do ovoga i konačno se ostvaruje. To je vizija koju smo implementirali i kada smo dobili prave ljude znali smo da je to tema u koju smo toliko vjerovali da smo odlučili izvršiti.”

MARK Taffet, Predsjednik MMA Pro lige

“Stvorit ćemo naslijeđe u ovom sportu koje će trajati generacijama koje dolaze. Imao sam privilegiju pokrenuti HBO PPV 30 prije nekoliko godina i vidio sam kako se stvara mnogo istorije. Sada imam priliku da to uradim ponovo, zajedno sa mojom partnericom Hani Darwish.

“Moja prva borba na HBO PPV bila je upravo ovdje u Atlantic Cityju za Evander Holyfield vs. George Foreman. Za mene je veoma značajno što sam se vratio ovdje u Atlantic City u potpuno novom hotelu Hard Rock & Casino će imati priliku stvoriti još jedno poglavlje sjajnih trenutaka.

“Jedna od najvažnijih stvari u MMA Pro ligi je da imaju prave trenere koji vode timove. Dan Miller i Daniel Gracie su oboje prirodni vođe, mentori, veliki bivši borci i veliki učitelji. Oni predstavljaju sve što želimo da predstavljamo sa MMA Pro ligom.”

Mark Flicker (NJ) vs. ZULKARNAIYN KAMCHYBEKOV (PA) – Srednjeteškaše

Kolker: “Ovo je zaista uzbudljivo i veoma sam zahvalan na prilici. Radimo nešto drugačije od ostalih i mislim da to može biti nešto posebno.

“Znam da imam protivnika koji se može rvati i koji je amaterski neporažen. Osećam se kao da imam alat da ga pobedim. Mogu uhvatiti, oklizni i skloni ga sa nečim ranije. Ili ako želi otići na distancu i mi to možemo učiniti. Predviđam da ću ga nokautirati.”

Kamchybekov: “Ovo je moja prva profesionalna borba i veoma sam sretan što imam priliku. Ne znam previše o svom protivniku, ali biću spreman. Naporno sam radio i pokazaću svoje hrvanje i udar da bih došao do ove pobjede.”

Gabriel Ruiz (NJ) vs. CODY OVDJE (PA) – Featherweights

Ruiz: “Dobar je osjećaj vratiti se u kavez i osjetiti adrenalin. Nadam se da ću svima pružiti veliku borbu.

“Znam da je moj protivnik rvač pa će pokušati da me obori. Neće htjeti da ustane sa mnom, ali spreman sam za mnogo rvanja. Pokušavam ga nokautirati i otići jesti hamburger.”

Evo: “Neverovatno je biti deo ovog poduhvata MMA Pro lige. To je tako sjajna prilika i drago mi je što sam u prizemlju.

“Moj protivnik je uzeo malo slobodnog vremena, ali znam da će biti spreman za borbu. Ne spavam na njemu. Ovo će biti akciona borba.”

Claudio Ledesma (NJ) vs. ANDRE BERNARDO (PA) – Bantamweights

Ledesma: “Sjajno je moći predstavljati New Jersey. Tako sam sretan što imam ovu priliku. Ovo je do sada bilo sjajno iskustvo.

“Ne znam previše o svom protivniku. Volim da se fokusiram na ono što radim i da se prilagođavam kada moram.”

Bernardo: “Bio je težak put da dođem do mesta gde sam danas i zahvalan sam što se borim za MMA Pro ligu.

“Suočavam se sa veoma iskusnim borcem. Ima crni pojas u jiu-jitsuu i dobro je zaokružen borac. I dalje će morati da uđe
tamo i bori se sa mnom. Znam da ćemo na kraju ići na zemlju i planiram da ga ugušim.”

Mike Pagano (NJ) vs. ZEDEKIAH MONTANEZ (PA) – Welterweights

Pagano: “Ponosan sam što sam dio ovog prvog šoua MMA Pro lige. Uzbuđen sam što ću predstavljati svoju državu u kavezu.

“Moj protivnik izgleda veoma pribran. Voli da se zavali i boksuje pre nego što pokuša da baci. Svako ima plan dok te ne udare u lice, pa ću izaći tamo i samo se boriti.”

Montanez: “Zaista je dobar osjećaj biti u ovoj poziciji. Profesionalna borba je bio moj san i sada je tu. Toliko sam se trudio da dođem do ovog trenutka i zaista sam uzbuđen.

“Znam da se suočavam sa hrvačem koji voli da vrši pritisak i da ide pravo naprijed. Spremni smo na sve što on baci na mene i ja ću se prilagoditi svemu što mi baci. Biće to rat, ali ja samo moram da izađem i budem najbolji što mogu.”

Justin Osborn (NJ) vs. ANDY JIMENEZ (PA) – Welterweights

Osborn: “Uzbuđen sam što ću ići tamo i raditi ono što volim. Jedva čekam da uđem u taj kavez i zagledam se u tipa koji je spreman da mi skine glavu.

“Znam da se suočavam sa neporaženim amaterom koji debituje u profesiji tako da sam spreman na sve. Spreman sam za čitavih devet jardi. Predviđam završetak.”

JOSEPH PINAFIEL (PA) vs. Turpal Khamzayev (NJ) – Bantamweights

Pinafiel: “Sve mi znači što imam ovu platformu. Ovo je prilika da nadogradim svoju karijeru. Imao sam neverovatan tretman ovde. Idem po sve u subotu.

“Suočavam se sa jakim tipom u njegovom dvorištu. Ali ja sam ovdje da dam izjavu. Želim da ga izvadim i da se svima dobro borim. Nadam se da će izvući najbolje iz mene. Ja ću pobijediti. Spreman sam da ga dokrajčim na svaki mogući način.”

Kevin Sears (NJ) vs. AHMED SAMIR (PA) – Teškaša

Sears: “Ovo mi mnogo znači. Borio sam se 10 lige i ovo je bilo najbolje iskustvo do sada. MMA Pro League brine samo o svojim borcima.

“Samir izgleda jako tvrdo i znam da ima puno iskustva. Svi su opasni na ovom nivou i potreban je samo udarac da biste zaspali. Idem na cilj odmah od početka.”
