ANDRE WARD, Divu laika pasaules čempions un top-rated mārciņa-for-mārciņa cīnītājs:

"Es gribu pateikties visiem par iznāks kā parasti. Bay Area ir skaista vieta. Mums nav bieži iegūt pietiekami daudz kredītu talantu, kas nāk ārā no šejienes, bet par fanu bāzi, tas ir milzīgs. Es esmu tikai pateicīga par to, ka no vietas, piemēram, šo un pateicīgi ir mīlestība un atbalsts katru notikumu, kas mums dot šeit. Es esmu pateicīgs, ka man un puiši, piemēram Marshawn Lynch, Damian Lillard un Warriors nodot šo vietu kartē, un cilvēki ir ņemot paziņojumu par valsts skatuves. Tas ir patiešām svarīgi, lai man.

 

"Cik pati cīņa, tas ir ļoti vienkārši, lai man ... kāds, kas mani zina, viņi zina, kā es strādāju, un viņi zina, kā es ērču. Man nav get nokļuvuši ko tālāk. Man nav get nokļuvuši ko cilvēki saka. Es esmu informēts par to, kas tiek runāts. Es zinu, kāds ir mans pretinieks ir teicis, un es viņu pie vārda. Es esmu darījusi visu, ko es esmu vajadzēja darīt, piemēram, es vienmēr darīt, un, piemēram, es esmu darījusi pēdējā 10 gadi manā karjerā. Esmu veikti par labāko ... ja tas nav vēl viens čempions, tad tas ir top sāncensis ... un tas nav atšķirīgs. Jūs guys tikai zināt, ka es esmu mērķtiecīgi un nobloķēt, piemēram, es vienmēr esmu. Es esmu gatavs, un es esmu gatavs karam nākt Gājiens 26."

SULLIVAN Barrera, Viens numurs novērtēja IBF gaismas smagiem sāncensis:

"Es gribēju pateikt paldies par ierašanos šeit. Es gribu pateikt paldies HBO, Paldies visiem. Paldies Andre Ward pieņemšanai manu cīņu. Es apsolu visiem, kas nāk pie arēnas, ka man ir bijusi lieliska sagatavošana, un tas ir liels sapnis. Šajā naktī, Man būs lieliska parādīt ikvienam. "

DAVID ITSKOWITCH, COO Bokss - Roc Nation Sports:

"Divi no top gaismas smagsvariem uz planētas būs saduras ar Gājiens 26. Viņiem ir kombinētā ieraksts 45-0 ar 27 Kos un lieki teikt, ne jau garšoja sakāvi kā profesionāls. Kaut arī katrs cilvēks ir briesmīgs pretinieks viņam priekšā, viņi abi ir savas acis uz Sergeja Kovalev un viņa trīs pasaules titulu jostām, bet vispirms tie ir biznesa apmeklētu sestdien nakts.

 

"Kad es iznākt Oakland par notikumu, un es esmu ar Andre pie funkcijai, kurā viņš runā ar medijiem, tas man šķiet, ka, protams,, Viņš ir īpašs talants athletically, bet viņš ir arī īpašs cilvēks, un es ceru, ka visi šeit Oakland saprot un novērtē, ka. Viņš ir principiālu ģimenes cilvēks, kas vienmēr cenšas darīt pareizās lietas, un tas ir kaut kas reti dzīvē šajās dienās, bet tas ir īpaši reti sportā. Es ceru, ka jūs guys novērtēt viņu. Boksa karjera nav mūžīgi. Viņš nebūs cīnās visiem laikiem, tāpēc ikvienam vajadzētu novērtēt to, kas jums ir šeit Andre Ward.

 

"Andre notverti zelta medaļu Atēnu Olimpiskajās spēlēs, un ir pēdējais ārpus ASV. bokseris to ir izdarījušas. Viņa saraksts tūlīt izzūd ienaidnieki skan kā kurš ir kurš no super middleweight nodaļa. Viņš arī dominē un izsisti bijušo gaismas smagiem pasaules čempionu, Chad Dawson in to 2012 kāršu atklāšana. Savā pēdējā cīņā, viņš dominē divu laikā pasaules title challenger Paul Smith uz Jūnijs 20 at Oracle Arena. Viņš uzsāk nākamajā nodaļā viņa karjeru Gājiens 26, atgriežoties Oracle Arena vēlreiz, kā viņš veic savu gājienu līdz gaismas smagiem sadalīšanu gatavs darīt to, ko viņš darīja ar super middleweight sadali ... tīrīšanas, un dominē ikvienu, kas stāv viņa ceļā. "

NICOLE DOVE, Viceprezidents mārketinga un General Counsel - Galvenie notikumi:

"Es tiešām vēlētos pateikties Andre Ward. Viņam nebija uzņemties undefeated cīnītājs savā pirmajā cīņā pie gaismas smagiem, bet viņš to darīja, un es domāju, ka ir apsveicama.

 

"Savā pēdējā cīņā, Sullivan kļuva obligāta sāncensis Sergejs Kovaļevs s IBF jostu. Viņš varētu būt sestdiena atpakaļ un gaidīja savu titulu cīņā, bet tā vietā viņš ieraudzīja šo cīņu pret Andre Ward kā iespēju, lai tiešām sasniegtu diženumu, un viņš to izdarīja. Kā jūs visi zināt, Galvenie notikumi un Roc Nation Sports ir lieli plāni Andre Ward un vēlāk šogad Sergejs Kovaļovs un Sullivan Barrera var patiešām apbēdināts, ka ābolu grozā.

 

"Abi šie vīrieši, Sullivan un Andre, viss izjādes uz rezultātiem Sestdienas cīņa. Šajā situācijā, ka mums ir boksa tagad, tas ir atjaunojāt redzēt reālus karavīrus, kuri nebaidās riskēt. Viņi abi ir pelnījuši mūsu cieņu un apbrīnu, ka. Tas ir tas, ko mūsu sporta jābūt apmēram.

 

"Sullivan Barrera ir undefeated ar ierakstu 17-0 ar 12 uzvar nāk veidā nokauts. Viņš vienkārši pagriezās 34, pirms mēneša, ko jūs varētu domāt, ir mazliet vecs šai brīdī viņa karjerā. Ko jūs varētu nezināt, ka viņš bija veiksmīga amatieru karjeru Kubā un pēc tam zaudēja vairākus gadus viņa prime, kamēr viņš bija defecting uz Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm. Viņš nāk tiešām tālu būt šeit šodien šo brīdi un šo iespēju. Viņš ir izsalcis, Viņš ir pārliecināts, un viņš ir gatavs. "

VIRGIL HUNTER, Andre Ward treneris:

"Tas ir fantastisks karte ar fantastisku sportisti, kuri cenšas padarīt savu ceļu pasaulē boksa. Ja šī cīņa tika notiek jebkurā citā pilsētā, tas būtu milzīgs notikums.

Oakland ir augsni top cīnītāji, un mums jau ir viņiem. Jo vairāk, ka jūs atbalstāt mūs, jo vairāk, ka šīs cīņas būs redzams, un jūs redzēsiet liels laiks augšpusē.

Zemāk ir kādi kaujinieki bija teikt gala mediju treniņa laikā:

 

ANDRE WARD, Divu laika pasaules čempions un top-rated mārciņa-for-mārciņa cīnītājs:

"Es jūtos labi, un es esmu gatavs iet. Es esmu sasniedzot īstajā laikā. Es esmu tikai satraukti, lai saņemtu to sestdiennakts.

 

"Es mēdzu braukt ar Oracle Arena uz 880 kā kazlēnu par manu ceļu uz ķēniņa ērtībām un brīnums, ja es varētu darīt to tur vienu dienu un [treneris] Virgil [Medību zirgs] mēdza teikt ar pārliecību, "Jūs esat gatavojas virsrakstu tur." Kā es got vecāka, Es izmantoti, lai dotos uz kādu no kartēm likts uz arēnā. Man vēl bija amatieru un es tikai sapņot. Nākamā lieta, jūs zināt, uz 2009, Es biju izlietne vai peldēt apkarošanā Edison Miranda. Ja es uzvarēja, tur droši vien bija laba iespēja, ka es varētu saņemt nosaukums shot un pārējais ir vēsture. Šeit mēs atkal, tas ir mans 7th laiks Oracle un tas joprojām ir svētība.

 

"Tas bija īstais laiks, lai pārietu uz gaismas smagiem. Tas bija, kam nav tiesības puiši, lai cīnītos vai puiši, kas nevēlējās, lai cīnītos mani kombinācija. Es gribu būt liels. Tie ir veidi pārceļas jums ir veikt. Es esmu students no sporta un kad es izpētīt sports, Tas ir tas, ko greats vienmēr darījuši. Viņi pārceļas uz augšu. Par liels tiem atrast veids, kā to izdarīt, un es gribu būt šajā sarunā.

 

"Barrera ir liels ķermenis. Viņš ir pārliecināts,. Šķiet, ir labs kovbojs. Mums nav pick viņam, jo ​​viņš ir mīksts touch. Mēs noplūktiem viņam, jo ​​viņš gatavojas iegūt mani gatavs un parādīt man to, ko šajā svara kategorijā ir par. Ja paskatās manā karjerā, tur ir vieta melodija-ups, kas man nav bijis daudz. Jūs vēlaties, lai cīnītos par labāko, un, ja jūs neesat cīnās labākais, Jūs vēlaties, lai cīnītos numur viens kandidāts. Tas, ko mēs darām.

 

"Es domāju, ka es esmu attīstās par efektīvu cīnītājs. Es esmu pārvietojas, kad man ir, lai pārvietotos. Es domāju, ka ir skaistums jebkuram sportistam, kurš ļaunprātīgi neizmantotu savu ķermeni un patiešām ņem savu kuģi nopietni. Es esmu redzējis dažus rakstus, apgalvojot, es nokavēju savu prime. Tas ir traki ar mani. Es jūtu, ka es esmu tik labi, kā man jebkad bijis. Esmu bijis boksa sporta bez daudz pārtraukumu pagātnē 20 gadiem. Manas smadzenes pateicās man par pēdējo divu gadu laikā. Mans ķermenis pateicās mani. Tas varētu dot man vēl divi gadi manā karjerā.

 

"Man ir vienkārši būt man. Kas es esmu, ir pietiekami. Man nav parādās uz Kovalev pūlī sestdiennakts. Mums vienkārši ir īstenot spēles plānu. Es domāju, kas notiek, lai nosūtītu ziņu tas ir paredzēts, lai nosūtītu un, ja tā nav, tad viņš būs [Kovalev] saņemt paziņojumu, kad mēs cīnāmies.

 

"Ja man nav uzvarēt šo cīņu, tur nekas pa ceļu. Ja man nav uzvarēt šo cīņu, Man nav pelnījuši, lai cīnītos par titulu. Tas ir realitāte manā situācijā.

 

"Barrera nekad cīnījās puisis, piemēram, man pirms, lai viņi varētu runāt labu spēli. Tie var dominēt virsraksti noved līdz cīņai. Viņi var teikt visu slidens sīkumi viņi vēlas pateikt. Mēs vienkārši vēlamies, lai dominē virsrakstus Svētdiena rītā pēc cīņa ir beigusies. Tas, ko es esmu vērsta uz. "

 

SULLIVAN Barrera, Viens numurs novērtēja IBF gaismas smagiem sāncensis:

"Es esmu stiprāka nekā Ward. Man ir Kubas fona un es uzzināju daudz prasmju tur. Vairāk nekā jebkas, noteikšana pārvarēt kaut ko priekšā man palīdzēs man uzvarēt Ward uz Gājiens 26.

 

"Kad es esmu ar gredzenu, tā ir mana māja.

 

"Neatkarīgi Ward ir, Es pielāgoties tai un pārvarēt.

 

"Man ir divas rokas. Viņam ir divas rokas. Man ir darbs, ko darīt tālāk Gājiens 26.

 

"Es zinu, Ward un Kovaļevs ir ļoti cienīts un tie rada daudz naudas un lielu interesi, bet viņi nezina, kas Sullivan Barrera spēj darīt. Es būs jāpierāda, ka sestdien.

 

"Es neesmu īsti puisis, kas ir meklēt nokauts. Mani boksa iemaņas runā paši par sevi. Es esmu cīnās Andre Ward un cīnās šeit Oakland, tāpēc es nedomāju, ka lēmums tiks sniegta manā labā.

 

"Lai visiem faniem, sevišķi Kubas fani, kas atbalstīja mani, lūdzu, zināt, kas nāk Sestdiena, Es esmu gatavojas darīt visu, man ir jādara, lai iznākt uzvaru. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF viegls Champion:

"Es nevaru gaidīt ko Jayson darīja, lai Ronny Rios šajā cīņā laikā. Man iet tur, pārbaudīt viņu ārā un pielāgot, kad es esmu ar gredzenu.

 

"Ja iespēja prezentē sevi, kur viņš ir ievainots, un es redzu, ka mana perforatori ir milzīgs viņam, tad, protams, es esmu gatavojas saņemt tur, būt agresīvi un pārliecinieties, ka es viņam pēc iespējas ātrāk.

 

"Es zinu, kļūst iekšpusē, nogriežot gredzenu un, ņemot to uz ķermeņa uzreiz būs pārtraukums viņu uz leju. Tas notiek, lai viņš nepārvietojas tik daudz, un vēlāk kārtās varu nolaisties apburtais sitienus pa galvu. Es esmu gatavojas ņemt to uz ķermeņa uzreiz.

 

"Garīgi Es esmu 100% gatavs. Tas ir liels posms manā karjerā, tāpēc es esmu garīgi koncentrējās. Es esmu labi sagatavoti. Man šķiet, ka tas ir brīdis man ir gaidījuši visu manu visu dzīvi. Es jūtu, es esmu gatavs, un es nevaru gaidīt Gājiens 26. Es apmācīts ļoti grūti šo cīņu, un es esmu labi sagatavotas to.

 

"Es tiešām gribu sniegt paziņojumu šajā cīņā. Es gribu, lai parādītu pasaulei, ka Jāzeps Diaz varētu būt nākamā lielā lieta boksā, tāpēc es apmācīts ļoti grūti likt par lielisku cīņu par cīņu faniem, būt ļoti agresīvs un padarīt to par karu tur. Es ceru, ka Jayson Velez ir 110% gatavs, jo es vēlos, lai viņš būtu viņa vislabāk.

 

"Ja es uzvarētu šo cīņu, un sniegt paziņojumu, Es domāju, ka es varētu pāriet uz sāncensis statusu un, cerams iegūt pasaules titulu shot ar šā gada beigām. Es gribu, lai cīnītos grūts pretiniekiem šogad, jo es gribu, lai parādītu pasaulei, kas es esmu.

 

"Es jūtos kā zvērs, kad es soli ringā, un es redzu to sparring. Ikreiz, kad es esmu piezemēšanās efektīvus sitienus, Es varu pateikt, ka es esmu hurting manu pretinieku. "

Jayson VELEZ, Top-rated viegls sāncensis:

"Pēc mana līmenī, katrs puisis ir top sāncensis. Man ir apmācīt grūtāk un uzlabot savu aizsardzību. Esmu strādājusi par šo.

 

"Ja redzat manu pēdējo trīs vai četras cīņas, Jūs redzēsiet, ka man ir dominējošais pirmajā pāris kārtās, un tad es izsīkšanai gāzes, Man ir strādājuši par manu izturību, lai nenotiks uz Gājiens 26.

 

"Es esmu redzējis Diaz ir cīņas. Mēs esam sparred pāris reizes. Viņš ieguva ātrumu. Viņš dabūja izsalkumu. Tas ir viņa debija HBO, tāpēc viņš noteikti ir motivēts, bet tā es esmu. Tas būs liels cīņa.

Cīņa starp jaudu un ātrumu ir liels spēles-up. Nemaz nerunājot, ka viņš ir Meksikas un es esmu puertorikāņu. Jūs varat sagaidīt lielu cīņu, un tas nav viens jūs nevēlaties palaist garām. "

Par Gājiens 26, NABO Junior Welterweight Champion Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (19-0-2, 14 Kos) risks his unbeaten record against Wilfrido “La Roca” Buelvas (17-5, 11 Kos) of Barranquilla, Colombia in a ten-round junior welterweight bout. Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 Kos) Madison Square Garden. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.

 

Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Teksasa, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 cīņas, compiling a record of 97 uzvaras un tikai 7 zaudējumi, ar 67 victories coming by way of knockout. Hooker turned professional on April 29, 2011, taking on the vastly more experienced Tyrone Chatman (7-1, 5 KO s) at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 un 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Undeterred, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Teksasa. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 KO s) gada janvārī 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. After eight close, hard-fought rounds, the judges saw the fight a draw. Hooker followed the draw with a six-round unanimous decision win over Adrian Rodriguez Garza (8-2, 6 KO s) par Aprīlis 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1, 7 KO s) jūnijā 26, 2015 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Championship. “Mighty Mo” did not disappoint his legion of hometown fans who saw him capture the title with a sixth round technical knockout victory.

 

Hailing from Rancho Cucamonga, California un cīnās no boksa lecekts Oxnard, undefeated Daniel "raut" Franko (12-0-3, 7 KO s) meets Mexican veteran German “Panteonero” Meraz(52-37-1, 30 Kos) in an eight-round featherweight bout on Gājiens 26. Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.

 

Franco began boxing at the age of eight, amassing amatieru ierakstu 67-15, uzvarot Oxnard PAL čempionātā 2006 un Kalifornijas štata Sudraba Cimdi čempionāts 2007 pa ceļam. Laikā Franko profesionālo debija decembrī 18, 2010, viņš sakāva Emanuel Machorro at Club 401 Ontario, California caur trešo kārtu tehnisko nokauts. Neskatoties uz to, kas uzņemti kā pilna laika students Chaffey koledža Rancho Cucamonga, Franco iespaidu sākumā savu karjeru, apkopojot undefeated ieraksts ar diviem iesūc vietās visā Kalifornijā beigām 2013. Viens no tiem vērš nāca pret Alejandro Ochoa pie klusa lielgabala Montebello, California septembrī 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Franco outmatched Ochoa vērtēšanas sešu apaļa vienbalsīgu lēmumu uzvaru Westin Bonaventure Hotel Los Angeles. Jūnijā 20, 2015, during Ward’s return to the ring at Oracle Arena, Franco saw action in an eight-round junior lightweight bout against Jonathan Alcantara and won by unanimous decision. A hand injury suffered in that bout kept Franco out of action until Decembris 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, Meksika.

 

A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, Kalifornija, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. Jr. (7-0, 6 Kos)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 Kos) of Ensenada, Mexico in a six-round middleweight bout. Puga turned in a career-best performance in his last match-up on February 12 in knocking out Alejandro Osuna (4-2, 2 KO s) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, Kalifornija.

HIDALGO, TEXAS (Maijs 9, 2015) – Omar “Panterita” Figueroa (25-0-1, 18 Kos) remained undefeated as he put on an exciting show in front of a raucous hometown crowd and earned a unanimous decision over Ricky Burns (37-5-1, 11 Kos) on Premier Boxing Champions on CBS live from State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Teksasa.

 

Figueroa was the sharper fighter who landed harder punches and was able to dictate the pace of the fight. Burns was deducted a point in both the eighth and 11th rounds by the referee for excessive holding. “Panterita” uzvarēja rādītājiem 116-110 divreiz un 117-109.

 

In the first televised fight of the afternoon, British star Jamie McDonnell (25-2-1, 12 Kos) earned a narrow but unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Tomoki “Mexicanito” Kameda (31-1, 19 Kos). McDonnell was knocked down for the first time in his career by a sharp right hand from Kameda in round three but quickly recovered to win by a score of 114-113 uz visiem trim tiesnešiem’ kārtis.

 

Here are what the fighters had to say after their bouts:

 

OMAR FIGUEROA

 

Fighting a fight like that, it takes a lot to go even four rounds, much less 12. With a fighter like that, leaning on you and using his weight on you it’s tough. I’m just glad I was in shape and didn’t let my fans down.

 

I’m a very offensive fighter, so the holding kind of slowed me down. I tried to do what I could and, thankfully, the judges saw that.

 

My hands are a little sore, but I really did hold back on my punches, especially because he has one of those European guards where he holds his hands up high and his elbows are exposed. I had to be careful going to the body because that’s how I hurt my hands most times, from hitting the elbows. I felt ridiculously strong at the new weight, but I didn’t think my hands would hold up, so I was holding back and trying to win the fight on points and if I could hurt him I would try to stop him.

 

He was punching me behind the head, so I felt like I had to do the same. If you want to play like that, I can play that game.

 

At the end of the fight, he came with a good body shot that hurt me a bit. That’s why I slowed down at the end. I have to give it to Ricky. He’s a tough fighter.

 

It’s time to rest up. I’ve been training since the beginning of the year and I deserve a little rest.

 

RICKY BURNS

 

We knew it was going to be a tough fight, but I didn’t agree with the deductions for holding. I thought he was holding as much as me and that’s why I had to tie him up.

 

We moved up in weight for this one but still had some trouble making weight, but I didn’t want to jeopardize my chance to fight in America.

 

I think it was his size that gave me problems more than anything. I don’t know what weight he was in that ring, but it was a lot bigger than me.

 

The plan was to try to stick to boxing for the first half of the fight, but once the size really took over I had to stand and exchange more than I would have liked. I couldn’t get him off of me. I’ve got no excuses, as I said the best man will win.

 

I always leave everything in the ring and that’s all I can do. I hope everyone who watched enjoyed the fight.

 

We’ve enjoyed the experience of being in the U.S., obviously the decision didn’t go our way which puts a damper on it, but overall everyone here in Texas has been great. I want to say a big thank you to everybody. I hope to back again.

 

JAMIE McDonnell

 

I felt in control all the way through. It was a great performance. I know I should have just boxed but I wanted to fight.

 

I didn’t think I was going to get the decision being abroad, but it’s more than spectacular to come out of here victorious. He’s a great, undefeated čempions.

 

His speed surprised me on the knockdown. I knew he was going to be fast, but I didn’t expect it like that. I didn’t see the shot and next thing I knew I was on the floor.

 

Hit and move, hit and move, that was the strategy. I remember being in there and thinking, ‘Man, this isn’t easy.I knew the crowd was going to go his way but it was a great experience.

 

It’s been a fantastic time being here in America. I’d like to see some familiar faces but it’s a new experience. I was up against it but I knew I could pull it off. I knew deep inside that I could do it.

 

I think I’m going to move up in weight. I want to catch the big fights before they’re gone.

 

TOMOKI KAMEDA

 

I think I won the fight. I did enough to win. He did a lot to win the last rounds, but I did more over the fight. I don’t agree with the judges decision, but I respect it.

 

I knew he would get up after the knockdown because he’s a world champion. He’s a great fighter and I take my hat off to him, but I won the fight.

 

“Es gribu mačs tiks.”

PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS ON CBS FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES & FOTOGRĀFIJAS

Klikšķiniet ŠEIT For Photos From Esther Lin/PBC on CBS

Live On CBS Sports Starting at 4 P.M. UN/1 P.M. PT

HIDALGO, TEXAS (Maijs 7, 2015) – Fight week for Premier Boksa Champions par CBS continued Thursday as televised fighters Omar “Panterita” Figueroa, Ricky Burns, Tomoki “Mexicanito” Kameda, Jamie McDonnellun Austin “Nav šaubu,” Forele spoke to the media at the final press conference before their respective bouts taking placeSestdiena, Maijs 9 at State Farm Arena.

 

Here are what the participants had to say Thursday:

 

OMAR FIGUEROA

 

This is the biggest fight of my career thus far. I have my brother on the undercard and it’s here at home. Tas ir tā,. I think it’s great for people from the Valley to get a huge card like this here. They haven’t seen this since Vasquez vs. Marquez, so I hope to bring that level of boxing back to the Valley.

 

I definitely feel more pressure but the good kind of pressure. I’ve thrived on pressure my whole life. I was a pitcher for a long time. I was a closer. So I’ve been in situations where it’s bases loaded and we’re down so many runs and I’ve got to keep the game close. Tas ir tas, par ko es dzīvoju.

 

I haven’t seen any film of Ricky Burns. Haven’t watched him at all. But from what I’ve heard he’s a tough fighter in great shape, so if we go 12 rounds it’ll be a good 12 kārtas. I’m going to go out there and give it my all and win in the most impressive way possible.

 

It wasn’t difficult to give up my title. I don’t fight for titles. I don’t care for titles. I think they’re just aesthetic things. I’d rather please the fans with a good fight. I don’t care if I win a title at the end of the day, but if the fans are happy, ES esmu laimīgs.

 

I’m going to be a lot stronger at this new weight. I don’t know what to expect. I’m excited to get in the ring and find out.

 

RICKY BURNS

 

When you’re in hard fights, that’s what brings out the best of you. I’m looking forward to getting in the ring and putting on a good performance and win some fans over here.

 

It’s a very tough fight and we knew that before we took it. Figueroa likes to come forward and be aggressive, but that can be his downside because he takes a lot of shots. We’re prepared for whatever happens on fight night and the best man will win.

 

Some people think I’ve come over here just to be an opponent but that’s not the case. I had a bad year but it’s all behind me. I’m going to get back to my winning ways.

 

This is everything I’ve ever wanted to accomplish in boxing. It’s going to be a hard fight but by the time the fight comes it will be just about four weeks that I’ve been in Texas.

 

I treat boxing as my job, when it comes to training and fighting I always give it 100 percent and leave it all in the ring and hopefully the fans will see that. Omar is never in a dull fight and I’m not one to back out.

 

We’ve treated this fight exactly the same as any other. Even though we’re in his hometown, as soon as that first bell goes that’s when it’s going to count. It’s just me and him in that ring.

 

TOMOKI KAMEDA

 

It is a dream come true to fight on a network like CBS. Millions are now going to get to know me, get to know my style. Boxing is changing and to be part of that is a great honor to me.

It was not easy to relinquish my world titleI was the first Japanese to hold that title. It’s never easy to give up something that you’ve worked so hard for. But I respect the sanctioning body’s decision, they said I had to relinquish it and so I did. Tagad, I’m going for another title, and after that maybe unification.

McDonnell is a good boxer. He knows how to box and knows his way inside the ring. Most British fighters do that, move around a lot. Its not an easy style to face, but my team and I have a great strategy and we are going to win, we are going to win by knockout.

I love Mexico. I moved there when I was 15 with my family. I did all of my amateur and all my professional career there. I’m grateful to Mexico and all Mexicans for giving me so much.

My team and the guys at the gym started calling me ‘El Mexicanitobecause I embrace Mexican culture as my own. I love the food, the people and of course the Spanish language. I struggle with it at first, but now I think I got it mastered.

 

JAMIE McDonnell

 

I think Kameda is a bit scared and a bit intimidated by my size. I genuinely believe I am going to knock him out. I’m too big and too strong.

 

I’ve been a world champion for a couple of years now. I’m ultra-confident for this fight. It’s the best I’ve ever felt. Es esmu patiesi cer uz to.

 

Kameda is a good fighter and I expect the very best from him. He better expect the very best from me. This is life changing, whoever wins this fight gets propelled up a few levels.

 

I want the best life possible for my wife and baby daughter. To do that I have to beat him.

 

My losses were six years ago and I didn’t even really believe in myself at that time. I’ve gone through every experience that you can in that time and I bring everything to the table.

 

Fans can expect to see a lot of heart. I can take a punch, I can give a punch. It’s an interesting fight and it’s a chance for me to showcase what I’m all about on this great stage here in America.

 

AUSTIN TROUT

 

As far as my opponent dropping out at the last minute, disappointment is kind of an understatement. But I’m trying to keep it classy, so I’ll stick with disappointed. I’m not surprised though.

 

The day I heard that he pulled out it definitely changed my mindset, but I had to find that focus and realize that we still have work to do.

 

It’s an honor to be part of this whole PBC on CBS card. I feel like this is the resurgence of boxingbrining it back to the golden days. For me to be a part of that was one of my goals when I turned pro. I wanted to be a part of the comeback of boxing.

 

I’m trying to get a belt. I want my world title back. After I get a world title I’m going to try and avenge those losses. After I avenge those losses I want another title so I can become an undisputed champion. Once that’s done we can consider moving up to another weight class maybe.
