Boxing’s most avoided world champion Guillermo Rigondeaux heading to UK next month To publically confront Scott Quigg

Efterlad en kommentar
CORK, Irland (April 12, 2015) – Unified super bantamweight world champion Regning “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOS), arguably the most avoided reigning world title holder in modern boxing history, will travel to London next month in order to publicly confront his mandatory challenger, Scott QUIGG (30-0-2, 22 KOS), the World Boxing Association (WBA) “regelmæssig” 122-pund division titlist.

 

A month ago in an unusual move, Rigondeaux’ Direktør Gary Hyde formally petitioned the WBA to enforce a mandatory title fight between his WBA Super champion and Quigg. Hyde is awaiting the WBA’s decision. Rigondeaux is also the World Boxing Organization (WBO) og Ringen bladets super bantamvægt mester.

 

A reigning world champion hasn’t been avoided by other world champions and top contenders like Rigondeux has for the past two years since, måske, junior mellemvægt Sergio Martinez, or possibly all the way back to middleweight Mike McCallum.

 

The top three super bantamweights in the world outside of Rigondeaux – International Boxing Federation (IBF) og World Boxing Council (WBC) champions, Carl Frampton og Leo Santa Cruz, henholdsvis, plus Quigg – have avoided the Cuban great like the plaque. Once Santa Cruz’ promoter at the time, Oscar de la Hoya, announced that a Rigondeaux-Santa Cruz had to happen, Santa Cruz’ powerful adviser, Al HAYMON, exercised a contract option and bought him out to avoid a fight with ‘Rigo.’ Frampton’s promoter, Barry McGuigan, has proclaimed his fighter, not Rigondeaux, som nr. 1 super featherweight in the world. McGuigan, selv, is interested in Frampton fighting Quigg in a U.K. showdown, rather than a world mega-fight for three of the four major sanctioning world titles. As the “regelmæssig” WBA champion, Quigg is Rigondeaux’ obligatoriske udfordrer, endnu, he apparently wants no part of the two-time Olympic gold medalist because his promoter, Barry Hearn, not only hasn’t pushed the issue, he’s in negotiations with McGuigan for Frampton to fight Quigg.

 

Former world super bantamweight champions Nonito Doniare, after he lost a unification fight to Rigondeaux two years ago, og Abner Mares chose to move up one division to fight as featherweights. And now Donaire reports that his manager was contacted by a Quigg representative to discuss a Donaire-Quigg fight in England.

 

Another two-time Olympic gold medalist, WBO 126-pound champion Vasyl Lomachenko, continually insists that “Linje” has to move up in weight for a fight to happen despite him having no problems making 126.

 

“QUIGG, Santa Cruz and Frampton have showed no desire to challenge Rigondeaux,” Hyde sagde. “These three fighters are trying to fool the public into believing that fight No. 1 guy in the world is not important. While they are lining their pockets with ridiculous amounts of cash for fighting below par opponents, Rigondeaux is forced to wait around until some Asian opponent steps up. This is a sport in which we are accustomed to seeing the best fighting the best but, in the super bantamweight division, it’s the best versus the rest.

 

“Rigondeaux will travel to Manchester to fight Quigg, Belfast to fight Frampton, or Las Vegas to fight Santa Cruz. None of these so-called world champions, selv, will consider fighting the acknowledged world super bantamweight champion. They’re all much more content to hold onto their belts than beating The Man in their weight class.”

 

Næste måned, Hyde reports, Rigondeaux will travel to the United Kingdom in a bold attempt to embarrass Quigg into fighting him. “I don’t like traveling overseas unless I have a fight lined up,” Rigondeaux explained, “but I will travel to England in May to publicly call out Scott Quigg. If he turns down the chance to fight our WBA mandatory, he will be remembered for that instead of being known as a great fighter. While I’m in the UK, I will also go to Belfast to checkout Carl Frampton to ask if he wants to prove himself against the best in his division.”

 

Understanding that the top super bantamweight action is currently in Europe, noting a record purse ($2.2 million USD) offered for a Frampton vs. Quigg fight, Rigondeaux is considering a major change in the not too distant future, moving his base from Miami to the UK, if that’s what it takes for him to get in on the action.

 

Hyde also manages former WBO middleweight champion and current International Boxing Federation (IBF) Do Not. 1 obligatoriske udfordrer Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (31-1, 18 KOS), former WBA Interim cruiserweight champion Yuri “El Toro” Kalenga (21-2, 14 KOS) and Georgian super lightweight Levan “Ulven” Ghvamichava (14-1-1, 11 KOS) , as well as top prospects such as Cuban super bantamweight Mark Skov (2-0, 2 KOS), Irish heavyweight Med Sheehan and Bulgarian light heavyweight Blagoy Naydenov.

VAN NUYS, Calif.(April 13, 2015) – Tidligere verdensmester Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. afholdt et medie træning på fredag in front of a packed house at Ten Goose Boxing Gym in Van Nuys, Calif., as the Mexican superstar prepares to make his SHOWTIME Championship Boxing® debut på Lørdag, April 18, ved StubHub center i Carson, Calif., lever videre SHOWTIME(10 p.m. OG/7 p.m. PT).

 

I de vigtigste tilfælde af SHOWTIME Championship Boxingdoubleheader, Mexican superstar Chavez, Jr. (48-1-1, 32 KOS) meets dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara (26-3, 15 KOS) i en 12-round lys sværvægter Bout.

 

I 10-round co-feature, top 10 ranked junior welterweight contender Amir I (16-0, 14 KOS) will aim to move one step closer to a world title opportunity when he makes his second start of 2015 against fellow power-puncher Walter Castillo (25-2, 18 KOS).

 

Julio Cesar Chavez, velsagtens den største mexicanske fighter nogensinde, gjort en udseende i løbet af sin søns træning for at vise sin støtte og tilbyde opmuntrende ord.

 

Her er, hvad Chavez Jr., Julio Cesar Chavez and Joe Goossen (træner) havde at sige Fredag på Los Angeles-området gym:

 

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR., Tidligere verdensmester

“I am very focused going into this fight. I have changed a lot mentally this past year.

 

“I am fighting [Andrzej] Fonfara now because I like big opponents. I like the challenge of fighting good, hungry fighters. Just because Fonfara doesn’t have the name recognition of other fighters, it doesn’t make him an easy fighter. Han er sej.

 

“I feel comfortable at light heavyweight. Any time that you can add a couple pounds, you feel better. Although I will be fighting at 175, I feel most comfortable at 168 som en bokser. Since I have had one year off, it was a better choice to fight at this weight so that I could see how my body feels.

 

“Since I have added a few pounds, I have become a more physical and stronger boxer. The light heavyweight division has very big and physical contenders.

 

“Joe [Goossen] is a great trainer. He is a great motivator to his fighters and makes them better. I have worked very hard with him for the 35 days we spent together in Lake Tahoe.

 

“When I was training with Freddie Roach, it was very different. I think Freddie is a great trainer, but Joe also has a lot of experience and we have made a connection together.

 

“I really liked training in Lake Tahoe. The altitude, ringen, everything I needed was there. I felt very comfortable up there and I would like to come back there to train for a fight again.

 

“I promise a great fight, this is a very exciting fight. Fonfara isn’t an easy opponent, but he has never seen an opponent like me.”

 

 

SR JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ.

“I am here to support and be with my son. I try to give him good advice. I tell him to train and prepare hard, and fortunately he is doing that well.

 

“I think Joe [Goossen] is doing a great job, we are on the same page. We are all focused on him [Chavez Jr.] getting to the fight well prepared. This fight requires great preparation because he is going into the fight at a weight that’s higher than his normal weight and he is facing a very tough opponent.

 

“He must go in 100 percent to win this fight.

 

“I think there has been a 180 degree turn in his career. I see this as a positive because he can really develop his ability and looks very well prepared.

 

“I would’ve liked to have seen him take a tune up fight instead because of his long layoff; I particularly didn’t want this fight.

 

“Juli [Chavez Jr.] wants credibility in this sport and that’s why he made the decision to take this fight, even though it’s a dangerous decision. He must be very prepared for this fight.”

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez Jr.s’ Trainer

“I’ve been asked over the years who the one fighter was that I would like to work and my answer was always Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

 

“I’ve always really admired his style. I had known him as a kid, his father is a legend. It had always seemed like a dream job for me, and out of nowhere I got it.

 

“Lake Tahoe was tremendous for training camp. You are isolated and it’s not an easy thing. When you aren’t training you are sitting in a hotel room. You are deprived the comforts of home, but it really gives you that concentration and dedication factor and I think that will interpret into some positive results.

 

“I matured over my years, once I had a kid and a family and I think the same has happened with Julio. Life becomes clearer when you put away the immaturity. You realize that you have a future and if you really want to access what’s available to you, then you are going to have to work hard and dedicate yourself to it.

 

“Going to Lake Tahoe and really working hard is a sign of maturity and I think that’s what Julio is going through right now. He really showed it by leaving his home and spending an extended period of time up there. To me that is a great indicator that he is mature, dedicated and taking this fight very seriously.

 

“Of course I believe Julio is ready to fight Fonfara. The fight was made before I even came on board, but that’s the challenge that I am presented with. You must figure out a good game plan and figure out what you’re up against.

 

“Just because Julio has been out a year doesn’t mean that it’s going to be a cake walk for Fonfara. We went up to Lake Tahoe with one thing in mind, and that’s winning this fight and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”

ANDY LEE AND PETER QUILLIN BATTLE TO DRAW

IN EXPLOSIVE BOUT

BROOKLYN (April 12, 2015) – Premier Boxing Champions på NBC returned with two exciting bouts Lørdag night as Danny “Swift” Garcia (30-0, 17 KOS) besejret Lamont Peterson (33-3-1, 17 KOS) by majority decision and “Irish” Andy Lee (34-2-1, 24 KOS) og Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (31-0-1, 22 KOS) fought to a split draw at Barclays Center.

 

The evening’s second main event saw the undefeated Garcia stalk the lightning quick Peterson around the ring while consistently attacking Peterson’s body. Peterson moved well in the first half of the fight, but did not begin engaging offensively until the later rounds.

 

The two exchanged blows throughout a raucous twelfth round that stirred the crowd of 12,300 at Barclays Center into a frenzy. The judges tallies ended at 115-113 for Garcia twice and one score of 114-114.

 

“Jeg føler stor. I prepared for a war. He was moving a lot. I thought it was close, not going to lie,” Said Garcia. “It was definitely close the whole way through. I did enough to win and I’m happy with my performance.

 

[On going up in weight] “I feel like I have to go up. It’s affecting my performance, but I feel like I did a great job.”

 

“I did my part. I’m not calling it a robbery but it was a good fight,” Said Peterson. “I don’t expect an easy journey for me to get where I’m going. Jeg føler stor. That’s probably the least contact I’ve ever had in a fight.”

 

In the first main event, Quillin scored a huge knockdown in the first round and followed it up by putting Lee on the canvas in round three. Lee made adjustments as the fight went on and began to box Quillin effectively, even putting him down in the seventh round.

 

Lee and Quillin landed almost the same percentage of punches with Lee connecting on 38 percent and Quillin on 39 procent. One judge scored the bout 113-112 for Lee with another scoring the bout 113-112 for Quillin and the final had a score of 113-113.

 

“There’s a reason why judges are judges. They see it their way. I respect the decision,” Said Quillin.

 

[On being knocked down] “There’s a first time for everything. I’m very thankful that I was able to get back up and keep fighting. I took a year off and I was able to go 12-rounds and I could have kept going.”

 

“Det var en hård kamp. He dropped me early because I was being lazy. I got my momentum late in the fight and I boxed consistently. I understand why with two knockdowns people felt he won the decision. I could have done better i aften. If my next fight is Peter Quillin.”

I’m grateful to Floyd Mayweather and Mayweather Promotions for giving me this opportunity and giving the Mexican fight fans another reason to cheer on Maj 2.”

 

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao marks the second-consecutive Mayweather pay-per-view event featuring Santa Cruz. In September he wiped out Manuel Roman with a second-round technical knockout as the co-main event of “MAYHEM: Mayweather vs. Maidana 2.” Previously he had fought on the non-televised undercard of MAY DAY: Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero, with a technical knockout over Alexander Munoz. Derudover, this is the fourth consecutive fight for Santa Cruz at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and his ninth overall in the state of Nevada of his 30 professionelle kampe.

 

In non-pay-per-view undercard action, a pair of Mayweather Promotions’ fighters will look to keep their undefeated records intact. Super welterweight prospect Chris “Sød” Pearson (11-0, 9 KOS) will square off against tough brawler Said El Harrak (12-2-2, 7 KOS) i en 10-round Bout.

 

“Jeg er en ung, hungry fighter who has big aspirations in this sport,” said Pearson. “Maj 2 is a great opportunity to show the world why I will be a future world champion.”

 

Mere, cruiserweight knockout artist Andrew “The Beast” Tabiti (9-0, 9 KOS) takes on an opponent to be determined in eight rounds of action.

 

“I can’t wait for this opportunity to get in the ring and show off my power on Maj 2,” said Tabiti. “I’m always ready to put on a show for the fans and I hope they’re ready to see a big knockout.”

 

“Mayweather Promotions is dedicated to putting on the biggest events for fans and with the inclusion of these great young fighters we are ensuring that once again,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO for Mayweather Promotions. “Chris Pearson and Andrew Tabiti are future world champions who will have a chance to perform on the biggest stage in all of boxing on Maj 2, and I can’t say enough bout how excited we are to have Leo Santa Cruz on the card as the lead in for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.”

 

The fan-friendly two-division world champion Santa Cruz has defended his super bantamweight title numerous times in impressive fashion on his way to earning a reputation as one of the most exciting fighters in the world. The 26-year-old won his first world title in 2012. I 2013 han vandt hans super bantamvægt titel, which he now holds. Født i Huetamo, Michoaca de Ocampo, Mexico, men kæmper ud af Los Angeles, Santa Cruz looks to entertain the fans at MGM Grand on Maj 2 when he fights on the highly anticipated Mayweather vs. Pacquiao pay-per-view.

 

An undefeated prospect out of Dayton, Ohio, Pearson is coming off of an impressive unanimous decision in Dececmber 2014 over the hard-hitting Steve Martinez and he looks to keep his momentum going when he fights on Maj 2. På bare 24,, Pearson had recorded eight straight victories inside the distance before his most recent bout. He takes on the 27-year-old El Harrak who fights out of Henderson, Nev. by way of London.

 

A 25-year-old with extreme knockout power, Tabiti last fought in December 2014 and delivered with a first-round knockout of Ernest Reyna. It was his ninth knockout in a row to start his career. Født i Chicago, men kæmper ud af Las Vegas, “The Beast” hopes to make it 10 knockouts i 10 tries when he enters the ring onMaj 2.

Her er hvad de krigere havde at sige, inden torsdagens indvejningen:

 

GALARZA:

"Vi havde nogle gode sparring med fyre som Daniel Jacobs, Sadam Ali, Khytrov. De giver mig altid top hårdt arbejde. Det er topkonkurrencen lige dér. At slås med fyre på den måde opbygger min selvtillid. Hvis jeg kan hænge sammen med dem, så kan jeg hænge med hvem som helst. De vil hjælpe med at bringe mig til et andet niveau. Jeg lever af deres energi.

 

"Moore er en aggressiv fighter, men jeg er en fremadstormende fyr, for. Jeg kan være aggressive, men smart aggressiv. Ikke bare aggressiv til at slå og kaste slag vildt. Det er mere at være smart, bruge mit forsvar, min forseelse og kontra, når han laver fejl.

 

"Jeg prøver ikke at tænke på at kæmpe i hovedbegivenheden i Brooklyn, men det hjælper og det motiverer mig bestemt. Jeg mener, det bliver ikke bedre end det - kæmper i mit hjem i hovedbegivenheden.

 

"Det er min baghave, så jeg er nødt til at holde et show. Det giver mig ikke rystelser, fordi jeg har kæmpet i mit hjem før, men hovedbegivenheden er anderledes. Jeg skal bare gøre mit arbejde.

 

"For mig, det er vilje og dygtighed. Jeg bringer mit færdighedsniveau til næste niveau. Hvor dårligt vil jeg have det? Kommer jeg til at præstere godt nok til at bevæge mig til næste niveau og møde disse topkonkurrenter?

 

"Jeg vil møde de bedste udsigter, så jeg kan tjene en plads som kandidat. Men jeg er nødt til at komme igennem denne fyr først."

 

MOORE:

»Hovedårsagen til, at jeg kom hele vejen til USA, er, fordi det er her, boksning er bedst. Jeg er virkelig begejstret for denne mulighed. At være på SHOWTIME som hovedbegivenhed er kæmpestort for mig.

 

»Det bliver ikke nemt, Jeg slås med en fyr fra Brooklyn i Brooklyn i hans baghave. Bjeg har været i denne situation før, Jeg har kæmpet i udlandet mange gange før, og jeg er ikke skræmt. Det er endnu en dag på kontoret for mig.

 

"Dette er det for mig, der er ingen vej tilbage. Jeg er nødt til at vinde. Jeg kan bare ikke se mig selv tabe i morgen.

 

"Jeg har set et par Galarza-videoer på YouTube. Han var mere en slagsmål i begyndelsen af ​​sin karriere. Nu, han er en mere disciplineret bokser. Det kan nogle gange give bagslag, noget at passe på.

 

"Du vil se fyrværkeri og spænding. Jeg skal ikke lede efter knockouten. Jeg synes, det er en dårlig strategi at gøre det. Hvis det kommer, det kommer. Jeg vil se efter at vinde, lige meget hvad. Det er en meget stor kamp for mig, så det handler om at vinde, imponere og være på mit bedste."

 

KHYTROV

“Atmosfæretræningen i Big Bear var fantastisk. Det var en af ​​de bedste træningslejre, jeg har haft. Jeg har aldrig været igennem sådan en lejr i amatørerne.

 

"Jeg havde en chance for at mødes Gennady (Golovkin) i Big Bear og vi talte og blev faktisk ret tætte. Vi talte om træningsregime, ting atleter taler om. Jeg elskede det der.

 

"Tilpasningen fra amatører til professionelle har været fin. Den eneste forskel er at håndtere de forskellige runder og indse, at du skal tempoe dig selv for disse otte, 10, 12 runde kampe.

 

"Det bedste tidspunkt at slå en fyr ud på er i de første to runder, når de ikke er varmet op endnu. Jeg prøvede imod (Jorge) Melendez, men jeg kunne ikke få ham ud. Jeg indså lige, at jeg var nødt til at tempoe mig selv i de andre seks runder og arbejde med kroppen. Det var rart at få de runder og erfaring mod en hård fighter.

 

"Jeg kender ham (Coley) er en ret hårdtslående southpaw. Jeg går ud fra, at han ikke vil komme frem, men måske vil han overraske mig. Han har et par knockouts, men jeg vil se ham, lære og tilpasse sig.

 

"Jeg mødte sydpoter i amatørerne. Hans stil vil ikke give mig nogen problemer. Jeg kunne endda skifte til en southpaw-stilling, hvis jeg har brug for det.

 

"Personligt, sundhed tillader, Jeg tror, ​​jeg burde være en kandidat ved udgangen af 2015. Men jeg sætter al min tillid til mit team. De ved bedst. Mit job er bare at træne og forberede sig til alt, hvad de lægger foran mig.

 

"Ja, 100 procent, jeg gerne vil møde Gennady. For at være den bedste skal du kæmpe mod den bedste. Og lige nu anser jeg ham for at være den bedste 160 pundd fighter i verden."

 

COLEY:

"At kæmpe på tv for mig er en stor sag. Da jeg var lille, min far plejede at holde kampfester for at se store kampe, og i morgen holder han en for mig. Alene det gør mig så stolt. Jeg holder min egen visningsfest. Jeg kæmper på nationalt tv, på SHOWTIME. Det er så meget for mig. Dette er mit udbrud. Dette er tegnet, jeg har lavet det.

 

”Jeg holder mig i form hele året rundt, men i de sidste to måneder har jeg taget det til det yderste. Træner hårdt, sparring endnu hårdere.

 

"Jeg har arbejdet meget hårdt. Jeg har sparret med verdensmestre, og jeg har gjort det godt. Jeg tror, ​​det er min tid til at gå op og vise alle, hvor god jeg er.

 

"Jeg forudser, at der vil være et stop i de senere runder."

DEREVYANCHENKO:

“Konkurrencen jeg mødte i WSB var, for det meste, de bedste kæmpere i verden. Indtil nu, de fyre, jeg har mødt i de professionelle, har ikke det CV, det færdighedsniveau. Så jeg tror, ​​jeg har kæmpet i mere end bare fire pro-kampe.

 

"Jeg arbejder hårdt i gymnastiksalen for at gøre overgangen fra amatør til professionel. Jeg tager det trin for trin. Jeg vil ikke springe over pistolen eller lave en fejl for hurtigt. Jeg ser frem til gradvist at øge mit modstandsniveau.

 

"Jeg har set nogle af hans (Campa) slagsmål. I nogle kampe bokser han anderledes end i andre kampe. Vi vil se, hvad han gør i ringen og justere i overensstemmelse hermed. Men jeg tror ikke, han kan bringe noget, som jeg ikke har set før. Men han er en mexicansk fighter, så vi ved, at han ikke vil give op.

 

»Jeg skal vise, hvad jeg er værd. Jeg har forberedt mig på dette hele mit liv. Nu er min chance for at opbygge min fanskare og vise, hvad jeg kan i ringen."

LEJR:

"Dette er min første kamp i USA., og jeg planlægger at udnytte denne mulighed fuldt ud.

 

"Min træning var intens, meget løb, især i bjergene. Jeg arbejdede på min kondition og min hastighed. Jeg er i den bedste form, jeg nogensinde har været.

 

“Da jeg fandt ud af min modstander, Jeg så video om ham, og jeg ved, at jeg er bedre end ham. Jeg tror, ​​mine største fordele er alder og hurtighed. Min modstander er 29, Jeg er 23. Jeg er yngre og hurtigere, og jeg er ikke ved at gøre det nemt for ham.

 

“Jeg har tænkt mig at læse ham i de tidlige runder og, hvis jeg føler han ikke gør mig ondt, Jeg vil gå langt.

 

"Denne kamp er et kæmpe step-up for mig. Jeg ser det som en nøglekamp. Jeg føler, at det kan være en make or break for mig. Vi får se, Jeg får måske en chance for at levere en knockout, og det kan vække opmærksomhed i bokseverdenen."

Here are what the fighters had to say at Thursday’s press conference:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

“I’ve been working on fighting hard, but also smart. I’m going to go in there and dictate the pace and I’m always looking for the knockout. If I can’t knock him out then I’ll be ready to go 12 runder.

 

“It’s always hard making weight, but I’m on weight now. Right now I’m growing into my prime and my body is getting bigger and it’ll be time soon for me to go up in weight.

 

“I’m looking at this as a very big fight. So I’m going in there mentally and physically ready. He’s coming to fight and I’m coming to fight. Lørdag is going to be about who can make the right adjustments.

 

“Jeg elsker Brooklyn. This is my fourth fight here and I’ve heard that the tickets for this fight are selling faster than any other fight they’ve held here. So I must be doing something right in Brooklyn. The atmosphere is great at Barclays Center.

 

“I’ve always felt that I’m one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. I’ve won a lot of big fights with a lot of great fighters, and my goal is just continue winning one fight at a time.”

 

LAMONT PETERSON

“Danny’s talk makes no difference to me. I think I’m even more confident than him and I’ll get the victory Lørdag night and that will be that.

 

“The stakes are high. This can definitely push me to the next level in this boxing game. I’ve been at the top for a while but there’s a difference between being at the top and being an elite fighter. I think this will solidify me as an elite fighter.

 

“I looked at a few of Danny’s fights but nothing really stood out to me. I know Danny is a counterpuncher, that’s what he does. We’ve come up with a game plan to stop that.

 

“I’m a different person than the other guys Danny has fought. I’m a different person with a different style. I trust myself to make adjustments in the ring.

 

“This fight will be different than either of our fights with Matthysse. It’s two different fights and styles make fights. There will be different results. I had to prepare for Danny Garcia and Danny Garcia had to prepare for me.

 

“There’s no pressure fighting on this big card, but I know what it brings. This brings more exposure and I want to use that exposure in the right way. I know I’m looked up to as a role model and I just want to use this exposure.

 

“This will put a big spotlight on boxing and I’m happy to be a part of it.

 

“Jeg er klar til at kæmpe, I’ve prepared well and I’m ready to put on a show.”

 

Andy Lee

 

“I’m eager to fight and ready to go. I’m feeling very dangerous right now.

 

“My ring generalship is one thing, but overall I feel like I have a good idea of what I want to do in the ring. Peter has an idea too, but it’s more moment to moment for him, which can be good as well, when you improvise. I’m more of a guy who will set you up and work to a plan.

 

“Coming back and winning a fight really strengthens your resolve. You know in your mind that at any time, you have a chance of winning. I never plan to be behind but it happens. This time I plan to lead from the front.

 

“Peter is offensive, which leaves openings. He might be cautious for a while because both of us know that we might pay the price of being offensive. Eventually we’ll exchange and it will be explosive one way of the other.

 

“I’m a southpaw puncher who can box and I’ve never been in a dull fight. I have a ‘never say die’ attitude and I’m not someone who is just going to go out there and play it safe. I’ll risk it all to win.

 

“My confidence is very high. I’m the champion of the world and there’s no higher station than that in boxing. I’m the champion and he’ll have to come and take my title.”

 

PETER QUILLIN

 

“Everyone tune in on April 11 because we’re going to do more than just try to take that belt, we’re going to take that belt because that’s what we do.

 

“Andy is the champion of the world but this is the second time I’ve been the challenger to a world champion. I’ve been here before. I know he’s a newly crowned champion so I have nothing bad to say about him.

 

“Andy’s greatest strength is that he lost twice and was able to come back and make himself look very good.

 

“This is a totally different caliber fight than either of us has had. I’m not any of those fighters that he’s faced. I can’t go in there and try to fight like a Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

 

“I’m only concerned about working hard, which I’ve done every day leading up to this fight. So I have no concerns at all.

 

“I’m motivated period. My heart is built on motivation in all things. Talking to media, being on NBC, fighting for the belt and being a positive person. I’m thankful that every day I can put out a positive story about myself.”

LOU Dibella, Formand for DiBella Entertainment

 

“We have a great night of boxing from beginning to end, you will be hearing a lot more from these young fighters.

 

“If you want to see everything, get there to Barclays Center at 5 p.m.

 

“We’re very thrilled that this is going to be televised in primetime on NBC. PBC på NBC. It has a nice ring to it.

 

“The first main event of the evening features Andy Lee, middleweight champion and the fighting pride of Limerick. He is a warrior, he’s at the most confident point of his career and he’s going to need to be because he’s fighting an undefeated champion.

 

“Peter Quillin makes Brooklyn his home. It’s his third fight at Barclays Center and he has a perfect record of 31-0. He’s going to try to take Andy’s belt, men det bliver ikke let.

 

“The bout that will close the show is one of the most eagerly anticipated bouts in all of boxing. Lamont Peterson is noted for being one of the most technically sound boxers in the game and he has an outstanding record to a back it up.

 

“Danny Garcia really embodies what it means to be a Philadelphia fighter. He’s a tough guy with an undefeated record. He’s going to look to keep that record perfect against Lamont Peterson.”

 

JON MILLER, Præsident, Programmering, NBC Sports & NBCSN

 

“On behalf of NBC Sports we’re thrilled to be a part of this and to be in our own backyard. We couldn’t pick a better venue than Barclays Center. The card put together is spectacular. There are great fights once again and we’re excited about the progress that this new property has taken for us.

 

“I think one of the most unique things about denne lørdag night is that it’s going to make history in television because three of the most venerable and outstanding sports television personalities will be working together for the first time as Al Michaels will be our host, Marv Albert will be doing play-by-play and for the first time ever they will be joined by Bob Costas.

 

“These three iconic figures have worked Olympics and Super Bowls but it’s the first time they’ve ever worked together on one event and that is a tribute to what the entire has put together in delivering this great card.”

 

BRETT YORMARK, CEO for Barclays center

“Signifying the magnitude of the event, tickets have sold faster than at any other boxing show Barclays Center has hosted.

 

“At Barclays Center, we have not only served as a launch pad for many local boxers’ careers, but have relished in the role of becoming the home for Champions.”
