Vasquez and Diaz both have world title aspirations but will have to navigate difficult southpaw opponents in the hopes of reaching the top levels of the welterweight division. Here is what both fighters had to say about each other, training camp, the 147-pound division and more:
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR.
On his opponent change from Luis Collazo to Felix Diaz
It’s unfortunate that Collazo got hurt, but Diaz is a very good fighter and I know he’s going to bring it. I’ve been sparring with nothing but lefties, and since both Diaz and Collazo are southpaws, it’s business as usual. Diaz is coming off a close majority decision losshis first defeat, so I know he’s hungry to get back in that win column. This is a dangerous fight and I’m not taking it lightly. Like always, I’m willing and ready to fight anyone they put in front of me.
On his recent training camp at the Triple Threat Boxing Gym in Colorado Springs
It’s been a grueling camp with a lot of hard work being put out. Sparring has been fantastic and I’m feeling really sharp right now. My weight is good and I’m feeling strong. We have a few more days left and then it’s on to fight week.
On fighting on FOX with a global audience expected to be tuning in
This is what it’s all about, fighting on the big stage with millions of fans looking to see a great fight. FOX is an incredible network to be showcased on and I want to let the world know I’m here to take over the welterweight division. The fans can expect to see a lot of power punches. Hopefully I can score the knockout.
On his relationship with his team members
I have an unbelievable team behind me. First off my dad Sammy Sr. is there watching my every move, so I’m very comfortable with him by my side. Charles Leverette is the head coach, with Ryan Rimsek working the mitts. Jason Barber is my strength and conditioning coach. Everyone is doing a great job. We have a great game plan that we feel we can execute against Diaz. I’m very happy with my team.
On when he thinks he’ll be ready to challenge for a world title
I feel I’m ready now. I’m ranked in the top ten in three of the major sanctioning organizations, so I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know a victory against Diaz will get me closer to a title shot. I have to keep winning to fulfil the goal I set for myself when I first started boxing, and that’s to become a world champion.
On the current landscape of the welterweight division….
The division is loaded with great fighters. With the exception of Jesse Vargas, all the champions are undefeated. The road to get to the top is very tough because everyone in the top ten is an exceptional fighter. I think it’s the toughest division in boxing.
FELIX DIAZ
On fighting Sammy Vasquez on short notice
I stay ready in the gym. I had a fight scheduled with Miguel Vasquez that fell through so now it’s on to another Vasquez. I had to switch to southpaw sparring but that is nothing new to me. I fought a lot of southpaws on short notice in the amateurs. I’m grateful for this opportunity and I’m going to make the best of it.
On his current training camp
I’m having a great camp. Everything is coming together for me. My punches are accurate and my timing is better than ever. I’m looking very good in sparring and I know I’ll be at my best on fight night.
On the opportunity to get into world title contention
“Esta é unha gran loita para min. Sammy Vasquez is a highly rated fighter. A win against him will put me right up there with all the other contenders. I live for these occasions.
On what he thinks of Sammy Vasquez as a fighter
He’s a very smart fighter with good power. Although he does a lot of things right in the ring, I see some flaws in his style that I know I can expose. I believe my style will give him a lot of trouble. I know he wants to keep his undefeated record intact, but my hunger to start another winning streak is greater.
On bouncing back from his first defeat in his last bout
In my last bout I suffered my first loss against Lamont Peterson, a majority decision. It was a very close fight and I really felt I came out on top. When you’re undefeated and loss for the first time, you want nothing more than to get back in the ring and prove to everyone that you belong with the elite fighters in the division. I’ve been training in the gym like an animal, waiting for an opportunity like this to come my way. Now that it’s here, I’m going to take full advantage of the situation.

The fighters were together at the Conga Room at L.A. Live after Wilder had hosted a press conference in Birmingham the week before, that Arreola joined via skype.
Aquí está o que os loitadores tiñan que dicir martes:
Deontay WILDER
This is going to be an exciting fight for everyone. It’s two dangerous heavyweights. Two guys who fight with their hearts. It’s going to be an action-packed fight from beginning to end.
People said Arreola doesn’t deserve the shot, but who are they to say things about a man who every time he gets in the ring, fights with his heart.
I feel like this is a special occasion. It’s a short notice fight. A lot of guys said they would take it, but used the short notice as an excuse. It takes a lot to put together a fight. But when you can get someone who can make the best of this and put on a great show, it’s a job well done.
There’s only one name who can make this be what it is. Every time he steps in the ring, he comes to fight. I think we chose the right person.
This is going to be a great fight for boxing fans. I chose to go back home because of all the travel I did preparing for the Povetkin fight. I’m excited to be in my backyard and have the great support behind me. I won’t crack under the pressure.
The fans will get their money’s worth. It’s two tough and determined fighters who are trying to knock each other’s head off.
This was my longest layoff. I’ve wanted to be an active champion since I won the belt. When one door closes, another one opens.
It’s up to Chris to take advantage of this opportunity. He has his own history that he can make and it will mean a lot to him.
My mentality is to go all out. Everything I say, I really believe. I don’t need anyone to believe in me, because I believe in myself.
I have a guy in front of me who’s trying to stop me from getting to the next level. I promise this is going to be an outstanding fight.
Chris Arreola
“Eu son grata por esta oportunidade. A lot of people say that I don’t deserve this title fight. A lot of people said Deontay didn’t deserve his title shot. I said that. But when he got it, he made the most out of it. He beat the guy who beat me.
He’s defended his title and done everything you’re supposed to do as a champion. I respect him a lot. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
I’m going to his backyard. I’m fine with people not recognizing me out there. He’s going to be dealing with ticket requests and I’m just going to be focused on beating Deontay Wilder.
I’m not fighting the fans, at the end of the day it’s me and Deontay Wilder in that ring. That’s what I know about this sport, there’s a lot of talk, but at the end of the day, it’s mano a mano.
I’m blessed to have this opportunity and I’m going to make the most of it.

(Former world champ Andre Berto with Denver Broncos Running Back Ronnie Hillman

See below for Super Bowl 50 predictions from PBC fighters:
Andre Berto: I’ve got the Panthers by a dime. Cara, that Broncosdefense is ferocious! I’ve never seen any team get after a guy like they got after Tom Brady. So how is my boy Cam Newton gonna handle them? Have you seen Cam run? He’s gonna run right over them.
Against the Patriots, that defense was allowed to be ferocious, but Cam won’t allow that. As for [Broncos running back] Ronnie Hillman, he’s my dude; he’s just gotta work on them hands a little bit.
Dominic Breazeale: I’ve got the Panthers winning, 35-21. Cam Newton is just having way too much fun, and at this point, I would have to say the guy is unstoppable.
Omar Douglas: I’m going with Panthers. Cam Newton has played great all season and almost went undefeated. He is not your average quarterback. He can throw the long ball or run it in for a touchdown. And on top of it all, he’s having fun. It’s hard to beat a guy like that!
Omar Figueroa Jr: I don’t want to give a prediction. I love the Broncos like I love the San Antonio Spurs. But the Panthers are the Golden State Warriors of football right now. I see the Broncos having a really hard time keeping up.
Miguel Flores: Carolina has been smashing everyone, and Denver has been somewhat inconsistent. But after the Broncosmost recent games and their showing on defense, I will have to stick with the famous cliché: “Offense wins games, defense wins championships.
The Panthers have shown that they can be great offensively, but their defense hasn’t always been on point. So I’m going with the Broncos in a tight one.
Danny Garcia: I’m going with the Panthers. They’re rolling right now. They’ve got youth and energy, and they’ve got a lot of momentum going into the game. If they just stay focused and don’t party and get caught up [in the hype], they’ll win it.
Terrell Gausha: Panthers, because my bro that I went to high school with plays for Carolina: wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. Máis, I think they are just that good.
Tony Harrison: Carolina Panthers all the way. As a former high school quarterback, I love what Cam is doing for the game. He’s amazing. Tamén, many people don’t know but my younger cousin, Devin Funchess (pictured above with Harrison while at the University of Michigan), plays wide receiver for the Panthers. So I’m always going with family in any situation.
Julius Jackson: I’ve got the Broncos. They have a better system as far as demonstrating an ability to play as a cohesive unit. That’s what will give them the edge.
Jamal James: I’m gonna have to go with the Panthers, because Cam Newton has been handling business. Máis, that team has kinda been an underdog. But every time people count them out, they come out and refuse to lose, which is something I respect and relate to.
Amir Khan: I would have to say that the Broncos have the veteran leadership in Peyton Manning and they’ve been there before, so they have the better overall experience. Pero no extremo, the youth and explosiveness of Cam Newton will win the day in what will be a hard-fought Panthers’ vitoria.
Paulie Malignaggi: I’m going with the underdog Broncos. Maybe it’s just going with my heart, but I’m a Manning fan, mainly because his brother is the QB for my New York Giants, so I’m keeping it in the family.
Abner Mares: I’m taking the Panthers. Cam Newton has a style on and off the field that just dominates. It’s the Panthersyear, Cam is a tremendous leader and QB, and it’s time for a new dynasty to be born.
Shawn Porter: I think this is gonna be a great Super Bowl! It’s a very evenly matched game. Both teams are solid on both sides of the ball and have great quarterbacks. Peyton Manning is trying to solidify his status as an all-time great QB, and Cam Newton is trying to establish himself as a future great. I’m having a really hard time picking a winner, but personally I would love to see Cam Newton and the Panthers win.
Michael Seals: I’ve got to go with the Panthers. I’m gonna take Billy the Kid-Cam Newton-over the Old Deputy Sheriff, Peyton Manning.
Errol Spence Jr: The Panthers will win because the Broncosdefense will not be able to contain or stop Cam Newton. And the Pantherspass defense is too good for a shell-of-himself Peyton Manning. I went to school with [Broncos defensive end] Von Miller, but I want Cam to win.
Antonio Tarver: It’s a destiny type of year for Cam Newton and the Panthers. I don’t think anyone is gonna stop them. While my heart is with Denver and the wise old veteran Peyton Manning-us old guys gotta stick together-I have to put my money on Cam and the Panthers.
All I pray for is to go out like Peyton Manning: attempting to win it all before I retire. But I have to say the Panthers will win.
Austin Trout: I’ve got the Panthers winning. They’re just playing with great team chemistry and great leadership in Cam Newton. But I’m still J-E-T-S till I D-I-E.
Sammy Vasquez Jr.: It’s simple: Panthers all day. They’ve been on fire. Cam Newton deserves it now after putting in the years with the team and all the hard work. They work together as a team, and that’s a great part of being successful.
Deontay Wilder: I like the Panthers because Cam Newton is just on a different level, a force to be reckoned with.
Thomas Williams Jr.: I’m taking the Broncos simply because of the experience factor. Cam Newton’s year has been phenomenal; he is an MVP for sure. But I think Peyton Manning’s postseason and all-around experience will outweigh Cam’s magic.
This will be just another walk in the park for Manning, who has been in the tougher, more grueling games over the course of his career.
Final tally: Panthers 17, Broncos 4.

Savigne (12-2, 9 Kos, 1 NC), que tiña unha vantaxe enorme tamaño e foi o loitador fortemente favorecer, landed a series of right hands in the first and looked like he could make it a quick night against the undefeated-yet-untested Baker. But the Texan fought like an opponent who had nothing to lose against Savigne, un veterano experimentado, con máis de 400 loitas afeccionadas no seu currículo.

 

Panadeiro (16-0, 12 Kos) desembarcaron algúns tiros decentes no primeiro e saíu en chamas na segunda, throwing a high volume of punches with Savigne against the ropes. Fighting in a small ring, Savigne had nowhere to go and continually ate shots on a suspect chin before falling face forward to the canvas. Savigne got up, pero caeu nas cordas e foi claramente fóra dos seus pés, forzando o árbitro a interromper o concurso en 1:58.

 

"Eu ferídelo en primeira rolda e eu podería dicir que o seu queixo era débil, Podería dicir que eu podería acabar con el,” Baker said. “In the second, Eu só cheiro a sangue e eu sabía que tiña que ir para o traballo, Tiven que acabar con el.

 

"Ninguén me deu a oportunidade de ir en, but I was the undefeated fighter and he wasn’t. I worked too hard to come here and lose. I just have to keep working. You haven’t seen the last of me – this is a life changing moment.”

 

A 36-year-old Savigne foi claramente impresionado logo da loita.

 

"Foi o mellor home esta noite,” Savigne said. “I wasn’t expecting him to be as tough as he was. I made a huge mistake in taking him lightly. This is something that I’ll learn from. Now I’ll go back to the drawing board. I’ll go back to the gym – I’ll keep working hard and I’ll be back.

 

"Na primeira rolda, Baker me bateu no lado da orella e eu perda o equilibrio. Eu estaba completamente bobo. He hurt me with that shot. El foi o mellor home esta noite ".

Marrero foi o loitador máis agresivo e eficaz, aterraxe 43 por cento da potencia de socos e 39 por cento do seu total de socos.

 

"Eu estaba tentando configurar os figurões que eu puidese rematar a noite,” Marrero said. “It got away from me at times, pero foi unha boa preparación para dar ese paso para un tiro nun título mundial.

 

“I’m not disappointed I didn’t knock him out. I underestimated his tenacity to get back up and stay in the fight and I need to work on my discipline so that doesn’t happen again. I feel that I’m ready for a shot at a title whenever I get an opportunity.”

“I hope everybody tunes in. We’ve trained hard and this is just the beginning. It’s the start of 2015 and by the end of the year I hope to be a top contender or get a title shot. But I have to get past Emmanuel first and that won’t be easy.”

 

Emmanuel Lartey:

"El non afrontou o tipo de caras que eu xa enfrentei; he hasn’t faced the opposition that I have. He’s going to be surprised when he steps in the ring with me.

 

"Non, I’m not worried about fighting in his hometown. I can win with a decision, pero eu vou estar a buscar o nocaute para causar unha boa impresión e facer unha declaración.

 

“He’s definitely underestimating me. Sammy has built up his record with cupcakes.

 

“This is going to be a good test for him and a good test for me. I’m going to be the one walking out with a W.”

 

Humberto SAVIGNE:

"Eu non tomo calquera adversario levemente. Sei Baker intentará me romper, pero eu adestrei moi duro e, en toda a honestidade, Eu son mellor que el é. Non me leven a mal, I’m not overlooking him. I’m just determined to win, e eu vou, ou por decisión ou KO.

 

"Eu sei que eu estou loitando contra un cara duro, but I’ve trained hard and this is my year. I’m lucky to be surrounded by such of great team.

 

"Eu sinto que 2015 é o meu ano. Estou en terceiro lugar no WBC, e iso é só porque eu tiña seis meses de inactividade, se non eu estaría segunda. Despois de Baker, Quería [Adônis] Stevenson.

 

"Eu suxiro que os fans para estar preparado, sit back and enjoy because I’m going to give them a real show. I’m going to make Baker see fireworks.”

 

CRAIG BAKER:

“This is the fight I’ve been waiting for. I’m finally getting an opportunity to make a statement and surprise some people. I know I’m the underdog, but that doesn’t bother me. I’m undefeated for a reason. He’s the one with a loss on his record.

 

“A win would do wonders for my career. It would open up the door to some great opportunities.

 

“It will be an interesting fight. I’ll play it by ear, pero eu estou listo para ser o agresor e estou listo para ir 10 rounds ".

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO:

“I’m not intimidated by Rizo’s amateur accomplishments. If he says he trained hard, ben, Eu adestrei sempre máis difícil do que el. Eu creo que é a única que non sabe o que vai ter. Confío en min - iso non vai ser un día no parque. Esta vai ser unha guerra.

 

"Eu desexo boa sorte Orlando Rizo. Vai ter del para non ser derrubado.

 

"Eu non son un orador do lixo. Isto simplemente non é o meu estilo. Fago toda a conversa que eu teño que facer cos meus puños no anel. "

 

ORLANDO CURL:

"Sei que isto non vai ser unha loita fácil. Sei que é difícil Claudio Marrero, but I’m ready for him. I’ve been training very hard for him. É mellor el estar preparado, porque sei que eu son.

 

"Eu non creo que el xa loitou ninguén gusta de min. Os meus credenciais afeccionados son impecables. Eu son un catro veces campión de boxeo militar, tres veces campión de América Central e ex Nicaragua e FECARBOX Champion. Eu tamén teño unha medalla de bronce no 2007 Xogos Panamericanos en Brasil. Entón é mellor que estar preparado para unha loita dura, porque eu non estou indo a facelo doado para el.

 

"Claudio Marrero mellor ter o seu A-game en, porque eu estou benvida para leva-lo para abaixo. "

"

 

Un dos loitadores máis populares da área en anos, o que agrada as multitudes Vasquez, 28, estará facendo a súa segunda ShoBox iniciar e terceira aparición consecutiva no Consola Energy Center, onde está saíndo de dous dos mellores vitorias da súa carreira prometedora.

 

No seu inicio máis recente, o Vasquez agresivo de mente rexistrado un explosivo 2:35, KO no primeiro round sobre Alberto Mosquera (21-1-2 indo en) último Novembro. 14. He scored a smashing ninth-round TKO over then-unbeaten James Stevenson (21-0 indo en) en agosto. 8. Vasquez dropped Mosquera twice with body shots, Stevenson xa.

 

Vasquez loitou xa pasado a venres rolda. El nunca pasou máis de nove anos e gañou súas últimas nove loitas consecutivas por KO. Lartey, recíprocamente, pasou 10 ou máis roldas de cinco veces, nunca foi nocauteado e nunca foi derrubado.

 

"Lartey é unha boa, loitador moi duro e que será unha boa loita,'' Vasquez dixo. "Eu sei que eu vou manter a miña raia KO vai. Quere dicir o primeiro ou o día 10, acontecerá. El nunca foi nocauteado e me gusta destes tipos de desafíos. ''

 

Na súa ShoBox estrea, Vasquez marcou tres knockdowns a camiño dunha 2:49, KO no primeiro round sobre Juan Rodríguez Jr. en abril 18, 2014, en Monroeville. Pa. Despite all the stoppages, o 5-foot-10 Vasquez nunca se considerou un perforado KO.

 

"Eu me considero ben redondeado, pero se a oportunidade vén, Aproveito,” Vasquez said. “Whether I am considered by others as a KO or guy or not, Vou aproveitar a oportunidade. Sei que podería estar entrando no ránking mundial en breve. Pero, polo de agora, Realmente non prestar atención a eles. ''

 

Un afeccionado realizado (2011 Campionato Nacional PAL e 2010 All-Exército Championships medalhista de ouro en 152 libras), Vasquez foi unha das favoritas do público desde que se fixo profesional en agosto 2012. Todos, con excepción de tres das súas loitas foron realizadas na área de Pittsburgh.

 

"Loitar novo no Consola Energy Center, área de casa para o Pittsburgh Penguins, é grande,'', Dixo Vasquez, un veterano de Estados Unidos do exército que serviu dúas misións de combate en Iraq (2005-2006 e 2008-2009) durante un período de nove anos como membro da Garda Nacional. "Eu son moi grata a ser capaz de titular alí e eu estou contento de poder chamar a atención e publicidade para Pittsburgh para os fans de boxeo para gozar. Estou feliz de traer de volta o boxeo e para poñer nun bo espectáculo para a cidade ea nosa rexión.

 

"Non hai presión no boxeo tras algunhas das cousas que eu pase fóra do boxeo. Eu sempre quero gañar, pero gañar, perder ou empatar, no boxeo, sempre sae dese anel vivo. ''

 

Lartey (pronúnciase "LAR-man"), 32, está saíndo da súa vitoria máis notable, un unánime de 10 de decisión vitoria sobre o ex-campión mundial Steve Forbes en xuño 7, 2014 en Tacoma, Lavado.

 

“Eu enfrentei competición moito máis dura do que Vasquez e eu non estou preocupado sobre a loita na súa cidade natal,” Lartey said. “Sammy is a very tough fighter, pero eu son así. He’s been knocking out a lot of guys, pero non afrontou ninguén como eu. "

 

Na súa loita antes da última, súa ShoBox estrea, Lartey xurdiu no lado malo dunha división decisión de oito rolda árdua para 2008 U.S. Medalhista de ouro olímpicoFelix Diaz.

 

Tres loitas atrás o xogo, duradeiro Lartey deu estrela en ascenso invicto e 2012 U.S. Olímpico Errol Spence seu maior pro loita, levándoo a distancia de oito rolda por primeira vez. Aínda que claramente atrás e aparentemente golpeado, Lartey landed a body shot near the end of the seventh before rocking Spence with a big right hook late at the bell. Lartey came forward for most of the eighth round, Spence forzando para permanecer firme no minuto final da loita.

 

I had a few setbacks and I’m very grateful for this opportunity. This is my time to shine and show the world how good I am.

 

O 5-foot-8 Lartey converteuse en profesional en abril 2005 en Gana, e loitou a través 2009 hai. Era 11-0 con 1 NC - gañar o Africano e ganeses campionatos de super leves ao longo do camiño - antes de se cambiar para os Estados Unidos e facer a súa estrea a EEUU en febreiro 2011.

 

Esta será a cuarta vez que afrontou unha perspectiva invicto na estrada. El é 1-2, perder por puntos para Díaz en abril 2014 e Spence en outubro 2013 e gañadora vía puntos contra Jonathan Bautista (13-0 indo en) en abril 2013.

 

Savigne (pronunciado "sa-peat-yay"), 34, nocauteou o ex campión do mundoJeff Lacy na segunda rolda na súa última partida en xullo 10, 2014. Isto aumentou a súa marca de 10-0 con 1 NC desde que sufriu a derrota solitaria para Underdog Harvey Jolly en decembro 2009, unha loita na que pode entrar cunha lesión no nocello.

 

Un ex-afeccionado destaque internacional e un membro do equipo nacional cubana durante sete anos, Humberto (pronúnciase "Umberto" - cun "H" en silencio) fixo súa estrea profesional e aos Estados Unidos na idade tardía de 30. Baker represents the fourth undefeated fighter that Savigne has faced as a pro.

 

"O único que sei é que Baker está indo a ir para abaixo antes da quinta rolda,” Savigne said. “I’m going in there to knock him out and make it a quick night. I don’t know what he is thinking about me, but I know I’m not underestimating him. I’m going to do my job like I always do. It doesn’t matter what he does. I’ll be ready.

 

"Eu vou probar que eu son o novo don da división dos medio-pesados,"Dixo Savigne, que é alcumado "El Don."

 

Un zurdo naturais, Fun Savigne 398-23 na afeccionados. Gañou o campionato nacional catro veces, and was on the national team for seven years. Savigne defected from Cuba to the United States in April 2009. The 6-foot-1 Savigne, que loitou exclusivamente na U.S. desde que se fixo profesional, ten rapidamente subiu a n. 3 no WBC rankings 175 quilos despois de só 14 loitas profesionais.

 

"Eu sinto que eu estaba preparado para unha loita polo título mundial dende o ano pasado,” Savigne said. “I’m looking forward to getting a win on Febreiro 20 and facing the big names in the light heavyweight division. I’ve been training hard and I’ve been patient and humble. When the time comes, I’m going to be in prime shape and ready to fulfill my dream of becoming a world champion. Whether it’s early this year, a finais deste ano ou o próximo ano, Estou preparado.

 

"Eu quero loitar contra os campións en 175 libras, but I need to take care of Baker first. I want Adonis Stevenson. I feel that I’m better than him. He’s never fought a guy like me and I don’t see enough skill set in him to be able to defeat me.”

 

Panadeiro, que transforma 31 en Febreiro. 10, estará facendo a súa ShoBox estrea. A sete anos de pro, Baker é un loitador de presión que lle gusta de utilizar os adversarios de forma intelixente. Está saíndo dunha terceira rolda KO sobre Sergio Cordoba últimoNovembro. 15 en Arxentina. El venceu súas últimas tres loitas dentro de tres roldas, pero non contra combatentes sobre o nivel de Savigne.

 

"Eu son sempre o Underdog, de xeito que este non é nada novo,” Baker said. “I’ve been in this position before. You just have to do what you’re supposed to do you’ll get the win. “We’ve been waiting for this opportunity to prove who we are.

 

"Cando eu gañar vai dicir todo, it will be a dream come true. It’s going to open some doors for me. I’ll be 16-0 e estar alí para afrontar algúns dos mellores loitadores en 175 libras. "

 

Baker virou-se para o boxeo en 2005 como un modo para perder peso. No momento, el pesaba 293 libras. El perdería o seu debut afeccionado, pero, a continuación, pasou a gañar as luvas Texas Golden State e polo estado de Texas EUA Championships, en ambos 2007 e 2008. Baker tamén foi subcampión no Torneo Nacional en PAL 2007, un quarterfinalist tanto en Estados Unidos Championships Torneo Nacional e as Luvas de Ouro Nacional, o que lle valeu un EUA Boxeo ránking nacional de n. 3.

 

"Eu enfrentei caras como antes,” Baker said. “At the end of the day, all that matters is what you bring to the ring. On the national level in the amateurs you can face guys with a few hundred fights on the first day of a tournament. So his amateur pedigree doesn’t scare me.

 

“I’m just expecting a W anyway it comes. That’s what I want and that’s what I’m getting. He’s just like any other fighter. You have to wait and see what they have. We’ll find out on fight night.”

 

Marrero, 25, non é estraño para os adeptos locais, loitar dúas veces na área o ano pasado, ambas as veces en tarxetas tamén caracterizan Vasquez.

 

Un excelente loitador, cuxa única derrota veu nunha decisión 12 redonda axustado paraJesus Cuellar nun let-it-all-Hang-out, slugfest cheo de acción para o Campionato do Mundo de Interim Pena WBA (marcou 114-113, 115-114 e 111-111) en agosto 2013, Marrero estará facendo a súa ShoBox e 2015 estrea. Foi 3-0 ano pasado, vencendo por TKO venres redonda sobre Ira Terry no seu inicio última pasado Novembro. 21 en Tulsa, Okla.
