Na kisha, one day, I wake up back in the same place—I was in one of the same [cells] I was in when I did the year.”

KRIEGEL: “What did you tell yourself?"

BRONER: “I made it the best that I can make it. Lakini, unajua, when I was in there. I used to be by myself. I used to try to be by myself as much as possible. Lakini, I told them to put me in general population—because they wanted to put me in protective custody. I can’t do 30 days like that… I helped the whole unit…I just made it a better place at the time. If somebody needs something to eat, I gave them something to eat.”

Here is what Granados, along with his trainer George Hernandez, alikuwa na kusema Jumanne:
ADRIAN Granados
“We finally have a huge opportunity. I feel I paid my dues. I know Amir Imam wasn’t a fluke. And the robberies on my record were just that – robberies. You get in the ring with Adrian Granados and you’re going to get a hell of a fight.

“I wasn’t intimated by Broner when we sparred and I’m not intimidated by him now. I know I belong in this fight, at this level.

“It’s a tough fight. People are saying I’m going to have to fight like Marcos Maidana. But I’m going to be Adrian Granados and I’m going to win my way.

“With our two styles it’s going to be a firefight. It can’t be anything but exciting. I have a great team behind me and I can’t wait to make everyone proud.

“Ed Brown was the heart of this neighborhood, and now I need to carry on his legacy. This is my opportunity to do something for my career, but also this community. I have to be twice as great, for me and him.

“Winning this fight not only changes my life, but it changes a lot of other lives. Beating Broner would change the sport in Chicago.

“It’s very motivating to know that I’m an inspirational figure for people in Chicago. It helps me get through those long days in the gym, when you don’t want to get up and train. I know what I’m fighting for and I use it as motivation.
“I started fighting in high school just shadowing my friends when they went to the gym. I asked my mom and dad if I could keep going and luckily they helped me get started and get on this path to where I am.”
GEORGE HERNANDEZ, Granados’ Mkufunzi
“Broner puts his gloves on the same way we do. This is what we want. We want the big names. Beating Broner can get us to the next level.

“No one is going to give us anything. We need to earn it. We’re going to his backyard and we’re going to take it from him.

“This is one of the toughest areas to train in. If you can persevere through that you know you can make it in this sport. We could have gone away for camp but we wanted to stay here because it’s home. The only way to make this city better is by staying here and leading the charge and showing these kids that we can get away from that norm and bring better attention to this area.

“If Adrian can beat the hell out of this kid in his hometown that will send a message to all the kids in this community. It will let them know that you can succeed and do great things. Every kid that’s in here dreams of this opportunity. We’re ready and we’re not going to let it slip away.”

Here is what Peterson and his longtime trainer Barry Hunter alikuwa na kusema Jumanne from the Bald Eagle Recreation Center:
LAMONT PETERSON
“I’m going through a full-blown training camp and I’ve had a lot of energy. I think the strength will be there too but I’m an energy fighter. I like to put pressure and use my energy. Look for an improved Lamont Peterson.
“People are going to talk a lot about my layoff but honestly that only affects people who aren’t always in the gym. I have been in the gym working hard this entire time. I’ve been working on my craft. I got better and you’ll see on Februari 18.
“Avanesyan is a good fighter. He keeps his hands up high, so even though he’s there to be hit, it doesn’t mean I’m going to get good clean shots. It should be a good entertaining fight and a good first step at welterweight for me.
“Big fights are what matters to me. When you’re coming up it’s all about winning a title. Having fought for 12 miaka, it doesn’t matter to me as much. The way I’m looking at is, if I get this win then I’m the No. 1 contender for the belt.
“I have no concern about ring rust. It’s not even a thought in my head. I would be shocked if that was a problem for me.
“You never know what the right time is to move up in weight, but the time is now for me to move up to welterweight and I’m happy about it. Making 140 pounds was getting tough. I think it hampered my performances a bit and that let us know it was time.
“I’ve been wanting to move up but it seemed like my opportunities were down in weight. Now I’m ready to mix it up with the best guys here.
“Kwa maana mimi, it’s all about the joy of getting in the ring and competing. I want to do it at the highest level and I’m looking forward to getting big fights.”
BARRY HUNTER, Peterson ya mkufunzi
“Sometimes having time off like Lamont had is not a bad thing. It gives you space and time to work on your mental game, shore up some things you could be weak at and of course it lets you heal up. It’s served us well and I’m happy with what I see from Lamont so far.
“We always approach an opponent, no matter the record, like they are a world champion. We prepare for war. If anything less than that takes place, na iwe hivyo. We’re going to be ready. To me Avanesyan is a guy who is an obstacle in our way. If we can’t go around him, we’ll go right through him.
“We want all of the top 147-pounders. I always thought Lamont and Danny Garcia was a fight that warranted a rematch. Because it was a great fight that had a little bit of controversy around it. I still would like to see the rematch.”

Hivi ndivyo wapiganaji hao walisema Jumatano kutoka kwa Klabu ya Ngumi ya Wild Card West huko Santa Monica:
VICTOR ORTIZ
“Niliweka jumla ya 14 wiki za kazi katika vita hivi. Hakuna kitu rahisi kuhusu kazi hiyo. Njoo 30th, Nitathibitisha kwa nini nilimpiga Berto mara ya kwanza.
“Najua niko hapa kufanya nini. Nimerudisha moto wangu. Watu wanadai kuwa sina moto, lakini utaona Aprili 30.
“Watu hawajui ninachopitia kila siku. Ninapojeruhiwa kwa miezi kadhaa, Nina tu mimi na timu yangu. Tunafanya kazi kwa bidii.
“Nitarudi kileleni muda si mrefu. Hayo ni maoni yangu. Ninajua mahali ninapohusika.
“Ninaangazia Berto. Hilo ndilo lengo langu na hilo ndilo lengo langu.
“Amefanya alichofanya. Huna budi kuheshimu hilo. Niko hapa na siendi popote. Tunakwenda vidole kwa vidole.”
Berto OTHER
“Huu ni aina ya mchezo ambao ikiwa hauuheshimu, haitakuheshimu. Niko mahali pazuri zaidi sasa hivi. Nimejifunza mengi kwa miaka mingi tangu pambano la kwanza. Nina afya na umakini.
“Mimi tu tayari kwenda. Kambi ilikuwa kubwa. Tuko tayari kabisa kuingia huko na kuifanya.
“Kuna mengi ambayo yanaingia katika hili kwangu. Ilikuwa ni hasara yangu ya kwanza na nilikuwa na hisia nyingi wakati huo, kwa hivyo ni wakati wa kumwondoa tumbili huyo mgongoni mwangu.
“Mpango wangu ni kushinda hii kwa mtindo ili kusiwe na pambano la tatu.
“Mtazamo wangu ni kupata ushindi Jumamosi usiku. Nataka kuonekana mzuri kufanya. Sifikirii chochote baada ya hapo.
“Nimefanya kazi kwenye mambo mengi tofauti kambini. Tutafanya chochote kinachohitajika ili kupata ushindi.
“Ninyi nyote hamjawahi kuniona nikifanana hivi. Nimejifungia ndani ya ngome kwa muda wa wiki nane au tisa. Nimeweka kila kitu kando. Nimekuwa tu kusaga.”
EDWIN RODRIGUEZ
“Ana nguvu fulani na mtindo fulani. Anaweza kufanya mambo machache. Tunapaswa kwenda nayo.
“Ninahisi vizuri katika darasa hili la uzito. Nina kasi na nguvu ya kufanya athari katika mgawanyiko huu.
“Sikuwa nimepigana na southpaw kwa muda mrefu lakini tumekuwa na ugomvi mzuri na watu kama Marcus Browne. Ninahisi kujiandaa sana. Sijawahi kuwa na tatizo na southpaws.
“Nimefurahiya kurudi kwenye pwani ya magharibi. Hii ni kadi ya ajabu. Nilikuwa kwenye pambano la kwanza kati ya Ortiz na Berto na litakuwa pambano lingine kubwa. Lakini nakuja kuiba show Jumamosi usiku.
“Kwenye ndondi uko vizuri kama pambano lako la mwisho. Hivi sasa mimi ni shujaa ambaye alipiga risasi zaidi kuliko ninavyopaswa kuwa. Nimeimarika kidogo lakini nataka kuboresha mapambano yoyote. Siendi chini tena.”
THOMAS WILLIAMS JR.
“Kushinda, poteza au sare unajua Thomas Williams ataleta pambano kwako. Nimeshushwa na kuinuka. Hii haitaenda umbali, kwa hivyo usipepese macho.
“Nimekuwa ndondi tangu nikiwa na umri wa miaka mitano. Nina ukoo wa amateur na nimekuwa pro tangu wakati huo 2010. Ilibidi nichukue muda wa kupumzika 2014 lakini sasa nimerudi na nina nguvu zaidi kuliko hapo awali.
“Changamoto kubwa ni kufika tu kwenye pete. Sitaki kushikwa na mazungumzo ya kile anachofanya. Itakuwa ni mimi tu humo ndani. Nikiingia na kufanya mambo ninayopaswa kufanya, Lazima nitoke juu.
“Lazima uweke ngumi fupi dhidi ya mpiganaji wa shinikizo. Punch fupi itapiga punch ya mwitu siku yoyote. Inabidi nitulie tu na nitulie.
“Sijatazama pambano lake lolote. Ninawaachia wakufunzi wangu kuunda mpango wa mchezo na tunatoka hapo. Nimemwona akipigana hapo awali. Tulikuwa kwenye kadi moja, kwa hivyo nilipata nafasi ya kumtazama moja kwa moja.”
JORGE LARA
“Montiel imekuwepo kwa muda mrefu. Amekuwa bingwa wa dunia na anakuja kupigana.
“Nimemsoma na kumwona akipigana hapo awali. Nahisi namfahamu sana. Nina mpango wa jinsi nitakavyomfikia.
“Nimejiandaa vizuri sana. Sina wasiwasi na uzoefu wake. Nimejizoeza sana kuwa tayari na ninajua ninachopaswa kufanya usiku wa mapigano.
“Washindi katika pambano hili watakuwa mashabiki. Tutafanya show nzuri na kuwapa mashabiki kitu cha kukumbuka.
“Ikiwa naweza kumpiga, Ninaweza kupandisha viwango na kukaribia taji la dunia. Hilo ndilo lengo langu na hii ni hatua kubwa katika njia yangu.
“Nimefurahishwa sana na mapigano mbele ya mashabiki huko Kusini mwa California. Najua watathamini mtindo wangu na itakuwa anga nzuri Jumamosi.”
Fernando Montiel
“Lara ni kijana mwenye talanta na itabidi niwe bora zaidi. Ni mtu hatari na nitalazimika kuwa tayari.
“Ilinibidi nibadilishe kila kitu ili nipambane na mshoto baada ya kujiandaa kupigana na Abner Mares. Tulikuwa na kambi nzuri na tutakuwa tayari.
“Nimefurahi kuwa kwenye kadi kama hii. Nadhani tukio kuu litakuwa pambano la kufurahisha sana kwa mashabiki. Ninaona watu wote wawili wakishuka chini wakati wa pambano lakini ninaenda na Victor kushinda.”

Hivi ndivyo Berto alisema kutoka kambi ya mazoezi:
Juu ya maboresho yake tangu pambano lake la kwanza dhidi ya Ortiz:
“Nimeboresha sana. Kiakili na njia yote karibu na bodi. Kulikuwa na mengi ambayo yaliingia kwenye pambano hilo na kambi hiyo mara ya kwanza. Sikupaswa kupigana vita hivyo, bali kuwa mimi nilivyo, Nilitaka kuingia huko. Nilikuwa mpiganaji mdogo tu ambaye sikuchukua pambano hilo kwa uzito. Nilimpuuza mpinzani wangu. Sasa mimi ni mpiganaji aliyekomaa zaidi. Nimejisukuma kwa kambi hii.
“Pambano hili limekuwa akilini mwangu kila wakati. Hata nilipojaribu kuendelea, watu wengine waliendelea kunikumbusha juu yake. Kila mtu alisema ninahitaji kumrudisha. Hiyo ndiyo pambano ambayo kila mtu ametamani kuona na ambayo kila mtu anastahili. Nitampa kila mtu mapambano anayostahili.
“Ninaamini kwamba nikirudi kutoka kwa upasuaji wangu wa bega kwamba nimekuwa na motisha zaidi na kuboresha kama mpiganaji. Kila mtu ameona maboresho. Hakika tuko tayari kwa chochote anachotaka kuleta. Ikiwa yeye ni mkali tuko tayari na kila mtu anajua naweza kusimama hapo na kupiga ngumi”
Kwenye kambi hii ya mafunzo na Virgil Hunter:
“Kila kitu kinaenda kubwa. Imekuwa muda mrefu, kambi ngumu. Nimefurahiya na niko tayari kuifunga yote. Tumefanya kazi yote. Tuko katika hali nzuri. Hakuna jiwe lililoachwa bila kugeuzwa. Imekuwa kambi nzuri ya wiki nane au tisa.”
Juu ya kushiriki kambi ya mafunzo na Amir Khan na Andre Ward na motisha inayotolewa:
“Sisi sote tunalishana. Sote tumekuwa kambini pamoja kuelekea na kupitia mapambano yetu yote. Hata sasa Andre yuko kututazama tukifanya kazi kwa bidii. Ni motisha kubwa kwa sisi sote kuwa hapo. Sote tunasukumana ili kuwa bora kila siku.”
Kuhusu jinsi Virgil Hunter amemsaidia kuboresha kama mpiganaji:
“Ninamwita Virgil mtaalamu kwa sababu yeye ni mwalimu. Anakufanyia kazi kiakili. Kila siku. Ni kama kuwa shuleni. Anachimba kichwani mwako tena na tena. Hakuruhusu upitie mwendo. Lazima uendelee kuwa sawa kiakili ili kufanyia kazi mambo yote ambayo umekuwa ukiyafanyia kazi. Yeye ni mwalimu zaidi kuliko mkufunzi.”
Alichojifunza kwenye pambano lake dhidi ya Floyd Mayweather:
“Watu wengi hawawezi kushughulikia angahewa na mkusanyiko wa ukubwa huo. Nilipata nafasi ya kujua jinsi ya kushughulikia yote. Nadhani niliwashangaza watu wengi karibu nami kwa jinsi nilivyokuwa nikiichukua. Nadhani Floyd alishangaa pia, alidhani ningetikiswa kama watu wengine. Lakini nilihisi kama nilipaswa kuwa huko. Sikuweza kuwa mtu ambaye anasimama pale kwa mshtuko.”
Katika kujiandaa kwa Ortiz:
“Unapaswa kuwa tayari kwa chochote atakacholeta mezani. Hujui jinsi Victor atapigana na ikiwa atafanya mambo yake ya ziada. Au ikiwa atajaribu kupiga sanduku. Nani anajua? Labda umempiga mara mbili au tatu na anahisi kuwa hataki kuwa hapo. Nimejiandaa kwa Mshindi wa miaka mitano iliyopita.”
Kwa madai ya Ortiz kwamba atamtoa Berto:
“Ndivyo alivyosema mara ya kwanza. Nimejidhihirisha pia kuwa nitammaliza na kumaliza sura hii. Nataka iishe. Bado kwa sababu fulani jina langu linakuja. Watu wanaendelea kutuvusha pamoja. Ninataka tu kumaliza sura hii na kumaliza kwa mtindo.”
Juu ya kile mashabiki wanaweza kutarajia Jumamosi usiku:
“Mashabiki watarajie pambano la kusisimua. Wanaweza kuona mwanzo wa mzunguko 13 kutoka kwa wa kwanza. Itakuwa ya kusisimua sana. Nina shaka ni kwenda umbali. Haya ndiyo mapambano ya wananchi.”
