VERONA, NY (August 13, 2016) – Undefeated rising contender Miguel Flores (21-0, 9 KOS) defeated exciting featherweight contender Ryan Kielczweski (25-2, 7 KOS) ved enstemmig afgørelse (97-93, 96-94, 96-94) i det 10-round main event af Premier Boxing Champions på ESPN og ESPN fra Turning Stone Resort Casino i Verona, New York.
In an action-packed fight during which both fighters threw over 750 punches, the Houston native Flores was slightly more fluid and able to do enough work on the inside to keep his unblemished record intact.
Flores said, “I thought I would hurt him with body shots, so we did a lot of work down there tonight. I think my movement was the difference. Ryan said I couldn’t move, but I showed him and everyone else that I can.”
As Flores appeared to be stealing the early rounds, Kielczweski stepped on the gas at the midway point, throwing punches in bunches and landing regularly throughout the second half of the bout.
Kielczweski said, “I thought we fought a great fight tonight for the fans. I started a little slow, but I really picked it up in the fifth round.”
The increased activity was a little too belated to salvage the fight for the Quincy, MA native.
Kielczweski added, “I was gaining steam in the second half of the fight. I can’t say that I won, but I thought it could have been a draw. It was a good fight though, and I will be back.”
An excited Flores said, “It felt great to get this win tonight. I boxed and banged it out with (Kielczweski). He had some pop, and in the last round he got me with a good body shot, but we are used to tough fights like this. I like it like that. This is fun to me. We will watch the video and correct what I know were a lot of mistakes, but I believe I’m ready for the next level. I’m ready for the top contenders.”
Televised coverage kicked off with Olympic bronze medalist Yordenis Ugás (16-3, 7 KOS) defeating contender Jamal James (20-1, 9 KOS) ved enstemmig afgørelse (99-91, 98-92, 96-94) in a technical 10-round welterweight showdown.
Three days ago, James stepped in to replace undefeated welterweight Bryant Perrella, who was forced to withdraw from tonight’s bout because of an injury to his left thumb. James was coming off just 27 of days rest following his July 16 split decision victory over Wale Omotoso.
Ugas fought last 825 days ago when he lost his second consecutive bout, the third defeat of his career. Men, Ugas showed no sign of ring rust på fredag night as he casually controlled the action against James.
Ugas, a five-time Cuban National Champion, used his tremendous experience and was able to neutralize James’ height advantage.
“We focused on the body because (James) was tall,” said Ugas. “So we planned on chopping him down, and that’s what I did.”
Although Ugas had initially been preparing for his long-awaited comeback against the left handed Perrella, he had no difficulty with the orthodox James.
Ugas added, “I followed my corner’s instructions and won round by round. I felt very consistent in there tonight.”
Knowing that he’d come up short, James said, “I thought it was a good fight. (Ugas) brought it tonight. I was fighting his fight unfortunately. I started to outpoint him late, so I should have started earlier with my combinations and countering. I was trying to knock him out and I should have just boxed.”
James added, “I have no excuses though, I am a grown man and could have said ‘no’ to taking this fight. But fighting is what I do. Other fighters are not doing what I did tonight. Selvfølgelig, if I had more time to prepare I might have done better, but I am a fighter.”
On his prospects moving forward, Ugas said, “After the long layoff, this is a new beginning for me, and now I am looking for a big opportunity in my next fight. It felt good to get back to fighting.”
A resilient James summed things up adding, “A fight like tonight makes me hungrier to get back in the gym and get myself ready to come back again better than ever.”

MIGUEL FLORES
On fighting in his first main event on ESPN…
“I’m very thrilled to be fighting in my first main event on ESPN because I know many boxing fans from around the world will be tuning in. I feel I bring an exciting style to the ring that the fans will enjoy. It’s fights like this, on a major TV network like ESPN, that take your brand to another level. So the goal is to perform at my best ability and bring even more excitement to the featherweight division.”
På hans seneste træningslejr…
“Training camp has been very hard, but I know that hard work will pay off when it’s all said and done. I’ve had a lot of time to prepare for this fight so I’ll be at my best. My longtime trainer, Aaron Navarro, and my strength and conditioning coach, Edward Jackson, have been pushing me really hard. Together as a team, we will be ready to shine denne fredag.”
On his matchup with Ryan Kielczweski…
“Kielczweski is a very tough opponent. He’s a very good boxer with a tremendous amount of skill. He only has one loss, which was a split decision, så for mig, he could easily be an undefeated fighter. Med det er sagt, I know I have to be at my best.”
On the landscape of the featherweight division…
“The featherweight division is loaded with great fighters. Carl Frampton, Leo Santa Cruz, Gary Russell, and all the other title holders are very skilled fighters. With each win, I’m inching closer to facing all of them.”
On fighting on the East Coast for the first time in his career…
“All my fights have been in Texas with the exception of a couple. So traveling to the East Coast will be something new for me. I plan to get there a few days early to get acclimated to the climate. Kielczweski is from Massachusetts, which is not far from the venue, so I know I’ll be up against all his hometown fans. I’m not worried about it. I just want to put on a great show, win this fight and capture all his fans in the process.”

Jose Pedraza Remains Unbeaten With Unanimous Decision Over Stephen Smith In IBF Junior Lightweight Championship

Mashantucket, Conn. (April. 17, 2016) – WBC Featherweight World Champion Gary Russell Jr. retained his title with a remarkable TKO of Irishman Patrick Hyland Lørdagon SHOWTIME from Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. I co-feature, Jose Pedraza defended his IBF Junior Lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Stephen Smith.

 

Aftens event was a family affair with Russell Jr. working his brother Antonio’s corner during aftenens undercard and boxing’s Smith brothers, including current WBO Super Welterweight World Champion Liam Smith, cheering from the crowd.

 

A relentless Russell brought the main event to a quick halt by registering three knockdowns in the second round, the last of which forced referee Danny Schiavone to end the contest at 1:33. Fra den første klokke, Washington, D.C. native came out swinging with his trademark hand speed and dangerous power. Russell, en sydpote, successfully broke down—and knocked out—Hyland with multiple vicious right hooks.

 

“We stuck to the game plan. We stayed sharp,” said Russell Jr., der forbedrer sin post til 27 vinder, one loss, 15 knockouts.

 

“I’m ready to fight anyone in the division – Santa Cruz, Lee Selby. We are ready. But what I really want is [Vasyl] Lomachenko. I don’t care if he moves up to 147 pounds. I will go anywhere to get that fight,” Russell said.

 

“There aren’t many fighters who you instantly know are special,” said SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst Steve Farhood. “The combination of Gary Russell’s hand speed and accuracy instantly shows us that he’s special. That was plainly evident i aften and at times his hand speed was frightening.”

 

Pedraza (22-0, 12 KOS) remained disciplined and came out victorious during his second IBF 130-pound world title defense. A combination of timing, hand speed and good defense allowed the Puerto Rican native to dominate the 12-round championship fight.

 

“This definitely was a tough fight but the training really came to advantage in this fight,” Pedraza told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray. “I knew he was a tough fighter so I was always aware.”

 

“I had better focus i aften. I had a better training camp,” said Pedraza, referring to his controversial split decision win over Edner Cherry two fights ago. “I knew that Stephen Smith was a great fighter and even after the knockdown, we were very cautious not to rush in.”

 

“Pedraza won i aften with different weapons. Mostly right hands to the head,"Sagde Farhood. “I had the fight even after eight rounds and once Pedraza dropped Smith in the ninth, he gained momentum that he never lost and he pulled away. It was an impressive performance but also an important one because it erased a lot of the negative criticism Pedraza received in his controversial win over Edner Cherry.”

 

Pedraza was the more accurate fighter, landing 50 percent of his power punches over the 12-round bout. The Sniper was able to pick his spots and pocket rounds once he figured out the distance. Smith had his moments, but wasn’t active enough.

 

Brian Custer hosted the SHOWTIME telecast, med Mauro Ranallo calling the action, Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and former two-time world champion Paulie Malignaggi kommenterer og Jim Gray rapportering. I spansk simulcast, Alejandro Luna called the blow-by-blow and former world champion Raul Marquez served as color commentator. The executive producer of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING was David Dinkins Jr. med Bob Dunphy lede.

NEW YORK (April 13, 2016) – WBC Fjervægt Champion Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 KOS), af Capitol Heights, Md., and Irish contender Patrick Hyland (31-1, 15 KOS), of Dublin, faced off at the final press conference Onsdag at Highline Ballroom in New York, as they approach denne lørdagens Featherweight World Title fight live on SHOWTIME® from the Fox Theater in Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.
Den SHOWTIME Championship Boxing® telecast begins live at 11 p.m. OG/8 p.m. PT on SHOWTIME with IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship clash between unbeaten Puerto Rican Jose Pedraza (21-0, 12 KOS) and mandatory challenger Stephen Smith (23-1, 13 KOS), of Liverpool, England.
Here’s what the fighters had to say at Onsdag final press conference.
Gary Russell JR.
(On Patrick Hyland…)
“Først og fremmest, I gotta tip my hat off to him. I heard him say he was being trained by his father. Me and my younger brothers are also trained by my dad. My father is my favorite superhero, so it is very hard to deal with a situation like this and to bounce back and to grind and put all the hard work and effort into it after all the heartache and loss, I gotta tip my hat off to him for that.
I know that anytime you have a fighter that trains for six to eight weeks and prepares for no one else but you, is a dangerous fight. Han er høj, he’s long, but we can take him. We’re going to handle it.”
(On returning from injury…)
“Jeg har det godt. Jeg er klar; I put the work in at the gym. Som jeg sagde tidligere,, I got cussed out several times and sometimes I left the gym feeling like the worst fighter ever. Men, lige nu, we’re ready and we’re prepared to invest in my ability.”
(On what it means to have his brother Antonio on the card he’s headlining…)
“It means a lot. I’m looking forward to it. I’m actually more looking forward to watching my brother compete than my own fight. I will definitely be working his corner in that fight. It means a lot for us to be able to pass this information down from generation to generation and watch it grow and watch us build as a family and as a unit. It’s amazing.’
“He definitely has the potential to be the best. Him as well as Antuanne, who is now on the 2016 Olympic team. It’s all information passed down from generation to generation. I feel as though they definitely have the ability to be better than me. I would want them to be anyway.”
(On what he needs to win the fight…)
“I need to maintain control of the fight, close the distance and maintain the jab. Complete dominance; I want to touch the body early. He likes to move a lot, so we’re going to cut all that down.”
(On potential future opponents…)
“God willing, everything goes right come April 16, we would love to unify with Lee Selby. If I had my choice, I would go with Lee Selby first to unify. Immediately after that, I want Leo Santa Cruz and after that I need Lomachenko.
“I don’t care where [Lomachenko] moves. He can lose his next 10 slagsmål, but before my career’s done he has to see me.”
PATRICK HYLAND
(On what gives him the sense of satisfaction in boxing…)
“To fight for the WBC title is everything I’ve dreamed of since I was a kid and all of the hard work that I have put in to get to this position to fight for it. I am happy and I am just living for it now for Lørdag nat.”
(On being the first Irish boxer since Barry McGuigan to hold a featherweight world title…)
“It’s a whirlwind and it’s great. I’m just a local lad from Johnstown in Dublin and to be fighting on the big stage and to be fighting for a major world title, and again to be named the second featherweight ever to win a world title would be just amazing; a real dream come true for myself.”
(On Gary Russell…)
“I know he’s got fast hands. He’s a great southpaw and a great boxer so I have to be at the best of my ability på lørdag night for that. I worked on a game plan in the gym to counter his hand speed and it all has to come together on fight night. I can do all this and say all that, but I just have to perform på lørdag night and put it in by doing everything I’ve worked on to become champion.”
Jose Pedraza
(On training camp…)
“I am feeling really good, we’re in the last stretch of conditioning. It was a very long and intense training camp but we saw improvements in my abilities. I have been waiting a long time for this day to come and we are going to demonstrate to Smith that I am a weapon.
(On Stephen Smith…)
“Smith is a very good boxer, he has a lot of abilities and intelligence. He’s a boxer with very good defense, but we already utilize a variety of strategies to be able to neutralize all of his abilities.”
(On what he plans to demonstrate på lørdag…)
“With my abilities, såsom Lørdag, I will demonstrate that I am above Smith and that I am at the level of what I am, a champion. Samlet, I just want to put on a show and I hope that the fan base will enjoy this great card.”
(On what he learned from fighting Edner Cherry…)
“I learned what I have always said and what I have always done to this very day, which is never watching. I never watch too many videos of my opponent because on the day of the fight he could be a completely different fighter and I think that is what occurred then. Aside from that, he utilized a great strategy.”
(On his thoughts on other Puerto Rican boxers…)
“Actually I am a world champion just like Rocky Martinez; there are many Puerto Rican prospects. Like [Felix] Verdejo but I don’t consider him as a world title contender just yet. He hasn’t fought with a boxer of championship caliber but he is currently among the top fighters in Puerto Rico.”
(On other fights he may be interested in at 130 pounds…)
“I have always said that the less Puerto Ricans I fight, det bedre. If it is the last option, I will fight with Puerto Ricans too but aside from that Rocky [Martinez] the world champ, there’s Francisco Vargas, [Javier] Fortune, to name a few that are at the top of my list.”
STEPHEN SMITH
(On his first time fighting in the U.S….)
“Jeg er spændt. If you want to make a name in boxing, then you’re going to do it in the states and that’s what I plan on doing by becoming a world champion Saturday.”
(On what he knows about Pedraza…)
“Godt, not quite a lot. I know his name from the amateur days. He’s well established, he’s an Olympian and he’s a talented man. To fight somebody consists of winning or not, it goes beyond tactics, beyond style and beyond skillset really. I believe I have what it takes to fight anyone and nothing will keep me from becoming a world champion.”
(On what he needs to do to get the victory…)
“It can be a different type of fight; we know he likes to switch it up and box from different stances. He’s obviously talented so it’s going to take a different set from each way but we know what to expect. I’ve gone over everything with my trainer Joe Gallagher and we’re ready to go.”
(On his brothers Liam and Callum being champions and what it could mean to potentially join them…)
“It’s special. Two weeks ago Liam and Callum won a European world title and it just gives me the confidence, the spirit to hike. I’m in a really good place mentally and I couldn’t be feeling better going into it. After my boot camp going successfully, it just makes you feel better going ahead to become a world champion.”
(On UK champions on the rise in the past year…)
“There’s a lot of history there and for myself and my family, so we do what we’ve always wanted to do and we’re looking to just keep moving forward.”
TRAINER JOE GALLAGHER
(On training camp…)
“It was good. Obviously it boiled up to Callum’s win. There’s a good momentum. Callum and then Stephen has his world title opportunity. It’s been a slow burning rise with Stephen but he’s got, as I call it ‘his World Cup final’ — something that is going to take heart and strength. His strength is going very well. Pedraza is a very good fighter, good orthodox, good southpaw, he can mix it up and we’re prepared for whatever style he wants to bring på lørdag.”
(On the process of preparing for a fighter like Pedraza…)
“It’s a nightmare. It’s hard enough when you’re fighting a quality orthodox or a quality southpaw, of which he is, but not only that. He can also box on the back foot and on the front foot so we’re varying sparring partners, we’re mixing up the sparring in between the rounds, switching stances, and whichever way Pedraza wants to fight at the end of the night, I’m sure we’ll have an answer for.”
(On how he feels the fight will play out…)
“I think that’s all up to Pedraza, looking back at a few of his fights, he boxes slow and gets off to a good start but then he seems to lose his way a little in rounds. When you watch him against [Andrey] Klimov, he started out very well, put him under manners very quickly and had him nearly beat by the fourth round but [Andrey] managed to stay in very well and boxed really well. He got to the middle rounds, lost his way a little bit, switched southpaw, so either way it’s going to be fascinating. We’ve just got to make sure we don’t get caught to early when he’s quick and he’s sharp and he’s trying to put manners in Stephen Smith and then take him into the deep waters like Edner Cherry.”
(His prediction…)
“Stephen Smith. Possibly by knockout. Do Not, definitely by knockout.”

FIGHTER TILBUD

“Det er en fantastisk følelse. Sandheden er, Jeg var en vinder, før jeg gik i ringen. Dette er en drøm. Jeg har drømt om denne dag i lang tid. Jeg lavede nogle fejl i mine tidligere kampe, men jeg gik tilbage til tegnebordet, gik til lejren, fast mine fejl og kom i her super fokuseret i dag.
På hvad han sagde til O'Connor efter kampen…

(På gå 10 runder…)
“Det er alle de samme. Du er lige så træt efter en fire-round kamp som du er efter seks, otte eller 10. Du forlader det hele til slutningen af ​​kampen. Det hele føles det samme.
(Ved at komme til skade i det 10.….)
“Jeg vidste ikke, hvor mine fødder var. Det var en underlig fornemmelse, Jeg havde ingen idé om, hvad der føltes som. Han fangede mig, og jeg kunne se lige, men jeg følte mig gå til venstre og højre.

“Vi vidste, at han ikke var meget af en volumen pincher. Det gjorde ikke overraske os, når han kom på i de midterste runder.

EFTER det tragiske tab af sin far og TRAINER IRSKE CONTENDER PATRICK HYLAND bærer en tungt hjerte SOM HAN SER TIL finde trøst i ringen lørdag aften

Efterlad en kommentar

Afkast på undercard AF PBC ON NBCSN AT LOWELL Memorial Auditorium i Lowell, MASS.
LOWELL, Masse. (10/9/15) – Lørdag nat, Irske verden-rated contender Patrick Hyland (30-1, 14 KOS) ansigter David Martinez på undercard af PBC på NBCSN begivenhed fra Lowell, Masse. Kampen vil ikke blive vist på tv, Hyland ser dette er det vigtigste kamp i hans karriere som han arbejder sig vej tilbage i verden titel påstand.
Kampen på lørdag nat vil være den første i en karriere, der daterer sig tilbage til sine dage som en 9-årig amatør i Irland, hvor hans træner, far og bedste ven Patrick Sr. vil ikke være i sit hjørne. Patrick Sr., bedre kendt som Paddy, tragisk døde i foråret i år. Forlader den irske boksning samfund chokeret.
“Jeg hører hans stemme i mit baghoved hver dag. Hver dag. Især i gymnastiksalen men når jeg er træning,” sagde Hyland Jr.
Tabet af Hyland far kom kun få uger før Hyland kone Lorna fødte deres første barn, Callum, yderligere at tilføje til betydningen af ​​denne kamp.
“Jeg udfordrede Javier Fortuna til VM,” sagde Hyland. “Jeg vandt den irske verden titel. Jeg har kæmpet at MGM Grand, O2 Arena og Madison Square Garden. For mig selv, dette er den mest vigtige kamp i min karriere. Ikke alene er jeg kæmper for min nyfødte søn, men jeg kæmper for at holde min fars arv i live. Han gjorde mig den mand, som jeg er i dag, og den mand, som jeg vil have min søn til en dag blive. At vinde en verden titel var vores drøm, at vi havde sammen. Han var altid skubber mig og mine brødre til at være den absolutte bedste, vi kan være, og jeg vil ikke stoppe indtil jeg får en anden crack på en verden titel.”
Kampen på lørdag nat vil være Hyland fjerde siden enlige tab af sin karriere, en meget underholdende 12-round beslutning for den midlertidige fjerlette titel mod nu-regerende junior-letvægt mester Javier Fortuna. Efter tabet til Fortuna, Hyland var ud af handling for et år og en halv, da han sorteres gennem salgsfremmende spørgsmål. Hyland underskrevet med DiBella Entertainment i juni 2014 og har siden sat sammen tre imponerende sejre. Hyland mener, at han vil banke på døren til at udfordre til en anden verden titel i 2016.
“Jeg har et fantastisk hold bag mig. Min leder Brian Peters og promotor Lou DiBella arbejder hårdt,” fortsat Hyland. “Så længe jeg fortsætter med at vinde og gøre, hvad jeg skal gøre, Jeg ved, de vil få mig mulighed for at bevise mig selv og vise, at jeg er en af ​​de bedste 126-knusemaskine i verden. 2016 bliver et stort år for mig, og jeg forventer fuldt ud endnu engang være en udfordring for et stykke af fjerlette krone.”

Se her, hvad deltagerne havde at sige Onsdag:
DANNY O'CONNOR
“Det er alt om mig kæmper processen. Gabriel Bracero slå mig, men jeg virkelig slog mig selv. Ligesom uddannelse til denne kamp, vi havde en baby søn. To uger før vores første kamp, min første søn blev født, og jeg vidste ikke, hvordan at adskille sport fra sådanne livsændrende begivenheder. Jeg var 14-0 og kæmper på Showtime. Vi havde blot en baby dreng to uger før denne kamp. Jeg ønsker at bevise over for mig selv, at jeg kan slå denne proces. Bracero er min forløsning!
“Denne kamp er mig vs. mig. Den gang var det rigtige for denne kamp. Jeg blev tilbudt denne kamp fem gange i løbet af de sidste par år, men tiden var ikke rigtigt.
“Jeg var bange lille dreng med ingen erfaring i vores første kamp. Jeg kunne ikke klare presset, Jeg vidste ikke engang, det var der. Nu, Jeg er en moden mand, der er en mand og far. Jeg er en helt anden person,.
“Denne kamp kunne være i min stue. Jeg er i fred i ringen gør, hvad jeg elsker at gøre. Det er dejligt at være tilbage i ringen i Lowell, hvor jeg vandt New England Golden Gloves titel og jeg kæmper på landsdækkende TV, men begivenheden er mellem de fire hjørner, og det er det, der virkelig tæller.”
GABRIEL Bracero
“Jeg er spændt. Jeg har trænet til denne kamp som jeg aldrig har kæmpet Danny før. Jeg slog ham, men det var for fire år siden. Jeg kan ikke overse ham. Han har tydeligvis gjort forbedringer, og jeg gjorde også at få, hvor vi er i dag.
“Jeg er mere erfarne. Jeg flyttede at træne i Orlando og komme væk fra distraktioner. Jeg ramte et par stød og fik fængslet. Tommy Gallagher (træner) reddede mit løgn. Han var der, da jeg gik til fængsel, og der, når jeg fik ud. Jeg har tilføjet en ny træner til vores hjørne, Alexander Lopes, men Tommy og min far, Kiro, er der stadig. Tommy giver ordrerne og han kan lide det, Lopez har gjort med mig.
“Tommy Gallagher er min skytsengel. Han troede på mig mere, end jeg troede på mig selv. Han havde denne vision, før jeg gjorde.
“Danny er blevet en bedre fighter. Jeg kan ikke tage noget væk fra ham, men jeg ser frem til at sætte på en spektakulær præstation Lørdag nat.”
JONATHAN GUZMAN
“Jeg har tænkt mig at gøre det 20-til-20, ja! Jeg er stærk, fordi jeg gør stærke bevægelser. Min venstre hook er min bedste slag. Jeg kan mærke kraften gennem hele min krop, når jeg ramte nogen ret.
“Jeg behøver ikke bekymre dig om min modstander eller hvad han har gjort i fortiden.
“Lawrence er mit hjem nu. Jeg vil gå tilbage til Den Dominikanske Republik i December til ferien. Jeg føler mig som en Bostonian. Dette er den sjette kamp, ​​jeg har trænet her, og jeg elsker Boston Red Sox.”
DANNY AQUINO
“Min sidste kamp fremdrives mig (forstyrret ved afgørelse i løbet af Ryan Kielczweski). Det gjorde mig mere sikker på mig selv. Min sidste kamp var på ESPN og denne er på NBCSN.
“Jeg ved ikke alt for meget om min anden end han modstander har magt, at jeg vil være på udkig efter. En sejr over ham skulle sætte mig i toppen 10 og det er derfor jeg er så motiveret for denne kamp.
“Jeg vandt New England Golden Gloves mesterskabet i Lowell Memorial Auditorium i 2007.
“Jeg træner hårdt, og jeg er altid i god nok form til at slå nogen.”
RYAN KIELCZWESKI
“Jeg kan godt lide at kæmpe hjemme, og dette er en af ​​mine foretrukne steder. Jeg vandt New England Golden Gloves der to gange.
“Jeg har trænet til dette at være den hårdeste kamp i min karriere.
“(Vasquez) er hård med en masse magt. Han vil komme frem, men jeg vil være i stand til at ud-box ham.
“Han er vurderet i top 10 af verden og en sejr skulle sætte mig tilbage i top 10 kæmper for en verden titel inden for det næste år.”
RAFAEL VASQUEZ
“Dette er en stor mulighed for mig. Jeg tror denne kamp vil sætte mig på kortet kæmper på landsdækkende tv og vise fans, hvad jeg har fået.
“Jeg er sulten, lille fighter fast besluttet på at vinde. Jeg kæmper for min kone, Sandra, der har fase fire kræft og min otte-årige datter, Kaline, der har autisme. Det er ikke bare mig kæmpe i ringen, det er den Vasquez familien. Med Guds nåde, alt er muligt.
“Ryan bevæger sig meget. Han bruger ringen og kasser. Han tabte til Aquino, og jeg ved, at han vil komme tilbage for at bevise sig selv. “
GARY “SPIKE” O'SULLIVAN
“Boston er mit andet hjem. Jeg elsker det her. Folk er så rart, og der er gode fitnesscentre.
“Jeg er en spændende, underholdende fighter, der altid kommer til at kæmpe.
“Efter jeg slutte Eubanks, Jeg vil være den Nej. 1 udfordrer i WBA og Golovkin kan ikke holde mig væk længere.
“Jeg så et par klip af min modstander. Vi har identiske optegnelser. Vi begge banke folk ud, så jeg er nødt til at være forsigtig. Jeg vil gerne komme i et par runder, men når jeg ramte mennesker, de falder.”
STEPHEN ORMOND
“Min første fire kampe var her i USA. Boston er ligesom mit andet hjem. Folk er så rart. Boston er en rigtig kamp by. Jeg kan ikke vente for disse mennesker til at se mig i ringen.
“Jeg så min modstander kæmpe sidste år i Boston. Han er en erfaren fyr med en masse slagsmål. Han kæmpede for en verden titel lang tid siden.
“Med Ken Casey bag mig, en imponerende sejr vil få mig en titel skudt. Jeg tager nogen af ​​dem. Jeg var en kamp væk, miste en kvalifikationskamp. Min bedstemor døde den dag, min kamp. Jeg er klar nu!”
