Hier is wat die perskonferensie-deelnemers Dinsdag moes sê:

ERROL SPENCE JR.

“Dit is 'n droom wat waar geword. This is something that still hasn’t really hit me yet. I try not to get caught up in the moment, but this is my favorite team that I’ve watched since I was sitting on my dad’s lap.

Every time I see Mikey I get excited and anxious and want to go to the gym and spar. On Sunday, I sparred 18 rounds because of the whole press conference and face off on Saturday. Looking into Mikey’s eyes, I can see how hungry he is and that’s motivating me.

Mikey is very difficult because of how me places his punches. He’s always thinking and he has a high ring IQ. But I’ve been clicking on all cylinders. I’m strong mentally and physically and prepared for anything he brings to the table. A win here can definitely catapult me and I’m ready to make it happen.

Any athlete would love to have their home team supporting them. It just so happens I have the most popular team in the world right here in Dallas. It means a lot because they don’t have to do that. I’m very humbled and it feels great to represent Dallas. I always support my people here.

“Ek is 100 percent prepared and focused on Mikey Garcia. I’m hungry and I’m already on weight. I can’t wait to put on another show. Maart 16, you have to make sure you don’t miss it. It’s going to be a legendary night.

Mikey GARCIA

This fight deserves a home like this. This fight deserves this type of atmosphere and energy. I was a Cowboys fan myself growing up and now I’m here in their home about to have the biggest fight of my career. It’s unbelievable, but here we are. I’m excited to make this a memorable night. This is history in the making.

I’m very excited for what’s coming in a few weeks. This is a fight that I really wanted and it’s definitely the biggest challenge of my career. To fight the best welterweight in the division is no easy task. Errol Spence Jr. is going to bring the best out of me.

I’m sure Errol is getting ready for the biggest fight of his career just like I am. That’s what’s going to make this interesting. That’s the recipe for a tremendous fight. It’s not very common to see two of the pound-for-pound best, still undefeated and fighting each other in their prime.

We’ve been implementing techniques that will help me improve my speed, explosiveness and reaction time, while also adding a little bit of mass. I think all of that is going to be beneficial to me on fight night. I feel very happy with the results.

If I don’t take these risks, then I won’t be rewarded. I want to be recognized as one of the greatest and the best of this generation. How can I achieve that if I don’t take these risks? That’s why I’m taking the biggest fight available.

DERRICK JAMES, Spence se afrigter

I’m very happy to be here. It’s been a really good ride with Errol and myself. This is our 10ste year working together and this is a beautiful place for everything to culminate. Mikey is a true fighter and he has a phenomenal trainer in his brother and father. We’re prepared for him and in shape right now. We’re ready to go.

ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Trainer

We’ve had a great training camp and our sparring partners are doing a great job preparing us for a very tough challenge. By the time the fight comes, you’re going to see what Mikey is all about. Everyone who watches this fight is going to enjoy a great night of boxing.

JERRY JONES, Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager

I don’t know if we’ve ever had an event here that has this kind of stature and the combination of two men standing in there on their own, and at the very best stage of their career. This is two champions meeting and that is something very rare for fans.

When we built this stadium I thought a lot about boxing. The Dallas Cowboys constituency is particularly into boxing. We have a fantastic Mexican and Hispanic fan base and when we have fights at this stadium, there is a great affinity for boxing. When there is a fight of this caliber at this stadium, then we know we’re doing something very special.

These two fighters are uniquely associated with this stadium and the Cowboys. Errol Spence Jr. literally lives next door and is from this particular area. The last night he had at The Star, he had his Cowboys gear on and made our players and myself so proud.

Our home away from home, Oxnard, California is where Mikey Garcia used to watch the Cowboys practice. We have a lot of kinship with these two fighters and our fans are in for a tremendous treat.

These two fighters are worthy of this stadium. Their skill level and ability to compete is worthy of this stadium. This is a special event that will be taking place on March 16.

TOM BROWN, President van TGB Promotions

“Errol Spence Jr. vs Mikey Garcia is one of the most intriguing fights of the year. It’s a fight that will determine who is pound-for-pound the best fighter in the world.

We’re thrilled to be at the home of the best professional franchise in sports, in the Dallas Cowboys. This is the perfect place for this event that features two unbeaten champions in their primes, putting their records on the line. Mikey and Errol are destined to walk out of that tunnel and into that ring to engage in a battle that will never be forgotten.

Also in attendance at the press conference were undefeated former 168-pound champion David Benavidez and heavyweight fan-favorite Chris Arreola, who compete on the PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View undercard as Benavidez battles veteran contender J'Leon Love, while Arreola matches up against unbeaten Jean Pierre Augustin.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Saturday from Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live:

ERROL SPENCE JR.

I train old school so I don’t worry about how Mikey is planning to get stronger at the weight. I’m not worried about it and I don’t think it will make a difference in the fight. I’m just going to focus on what I have to do to be at my best.

Size always matters, but when you get in there, at the end of the day, it’s about skills and intelligence. I’m not going to rely on size. I’m going to focus on my talent. If I can roll through him, then I’ll show my killer instinct and try to get him out of there. I’m going to use my ability to break him down.

At first I thought he was just chasing my name when he was calling me out. Once it became real, I saw how serious he was. At that point I was very confident it would happen.

I’m not the bully here because Mikey really pushed for the fight. The other champions weren’t available at the time, plus Mikey is the only top fighter who called me out. I knew this was a fight I wanted.

Mikey is undefeated, has a great skill set and has won a title at 140-pounds. I don’t see him as that small a fighter. He has a technical style that’s very traditional. He likes to use angles to set his opponent’s up.

We’re focused on what I can do and what our game plan is. I always spar the same people no matter what because they get me into the condition I need to be in and they have me primed for any challenge.

The welterweight division has always been one of the strongest divisions in the sport and it is like that now. We just need to fight each other. I’m ready to fight any of them. Whoever ends up on top from this group, will end being a Hall of Famer. That’s how you become an all-time great.

This is something I’ve been waiting for my whole life. I’m focused and prepared for this challenge. It’s going to be all eyes on me and Mikey in that ring and I can’t wait.

I’m happy that someone is challenging me. I’ve been looking for an opponent like him. He’s established himself in this sport. I’m happy to be able to take on this challenge. I’m looking for a skillful Mikey Garcia to bring the best out of me on March 16.

My vision is that my hand will be raised in victory, whether it’s a knockout or a 12-round grueling fight, I’m preparing for the best Mikey Garcia skill wise, strength wise and as far as his ring intelligence.

Mikey GARCIA

These are the kinds of challenges I want. I need someone like Errol Spence Jr., with his demeanor and style, to bring the best out of me. I want the world to finally see the full Mikey Garcia.

The training that we did in the Bay Area definitely helped me. We are going up in weight and needed to do a different type of training. We wanted to make sure that we gained a little bit of mass so that I can be able to hold off Errol Spence’s weight and strength.

The key to my strength training was that we didn’t want to lose my speed and explosiveness. I can see now that I’m back in sparring that I still have that speed while also gaining the muscle we had to.

If people say Errol is bigger, that’s just obvious. But who’s faster? Who has better timing? There’s a lot more that goes into this sport and who’s going to win this particular fight.

This has been one of the toughest camps I’ve ever had. We’re working on a lot of different methods and techniques to be at our very best. He’s going to be bigger than me on fight night, but that’s part of the challenge. I’ve know that since the beginning and that’s why we’ve trained the way we have.

When I saw him fight Lamont Peterson I decided that Errol Spence Jr. was the fight I wanted one day. People tried to talk me out of it, but now they’re all on board. People have now started to see what I’m going to be capable of on March 16.

I want the best Errol Spence Jr. I know he’s a great fighter with a lot of skills and talent. He hasn’t needed to use all of his skills, just like me. He does everything well, but nothing spectacular. I just feel like I’m the better fighter. I think I have the advantage everywhere except maybe power, but we’ll find out on fight night.

This is history in the making. I’m trying to establish a great legacy. This is the kind of fight that I need. I know my fans are going to show up and give me a lot of support. This fight truly excites me and motivates.

I’m not going to let this fight slip away. I’m going to establish myself as one of the best of the generation and eventually one of the best of all time.

Even though some people believe I’m the underdog, I don’t see myself that way. I’m undefeated and I think Errol knows that I pose a challenge. It’s no easy task for either one of us. This is the fight that I need for my legacy.

DERRICK JAMES, Spence se afrigter

This fight is all about the skillset, not the size. Size will come into play a little bit, but we’re going to show the skillset that we have to beat this guy. That’s what Errol is going to show.

Mikey Garcia has a good technical style. But there’s always a method to take down a great fighter. I think that a day like today will inspire us even more to work even harder. We can see him right in front of us. Its real and we can’t wait.

When I first saw Errol we were actually sparring each other. We started working together and I got to see him walk through guy after guy. We knew he was a great athlete, but it took time to build to where I started to realize he was something special.

ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Trainer

This is a big challenge for us to go up in weight to fight the best welterweight in the world. But it’s not like itsnever been done before and I know Mikey has the skills and power to pull it off. That’s what we’re coming to Dallas to do.

This is an opportunity for Mikey to continue building his legacy. He wants to be known as one of the greatest fighters of all time and a win over Errol Spence Jr. is a big step toward that.

I don’t think they’ve overlooking Mikey. “They know the talent he has. They’re getting ready for a great fight like they’ve done before. I think they know that they’re in for a real fight.

DAVID Benavidez

I’m back here in this stage and that’s all that matters. I’m living and learning. I can’t wait to be in position to again fight for the world title.

‘I actually sparred with J’Leon Love when I was 15-years-old. He’s a great fighter who’s a veteran. Ek sien hom nie oor nie. I’m training for this fight like it’s a world title fight. Whatever style he comes with, I’m going to be ready for it.

I’m better than ever. Everything has been a lesson learned. I had to sit out while I lost my spot, so now I’m more motivated than ever. This year we’re leaving the past in the past and coming back stronger.

CHRIS ARREOLA

I’m excited to be back. It was a long layoff where I spent time with my son and watched him grow. I missed that feeling of being in front of fans and getting that nervous energy right before a fight.

I’m anticipating and I’m hoping for a rowdy crowd on March 16. There will be a lot of Spence and Garcia fans and a whole lot of great fights. Us Mexicans, we love fights.

I know that my opponent is a southpaw and he’s slick. He’s going to try to out box me. I know he’s not going to want to stay in my wheelhouse. I have to be in shape to go the distance and be ready for shots coming from different angles.

JERRY JONES, Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager

On hosting Spence and Garcia at separate Cowboys home games last season:
It was just good to rub elbows with champions. I want all that they have to rub off on me and the Dallas Cowboys.

The fact that FOX is involved and their interest in this fight is amazing. We’ve had great events with FOX, including the Super Bowl. Our stadium was really built for boxing. These fighters will be standing 70 feet tall suspended above the ring on the video board. It’s an excellent way to feel like you’re so close you’re receiving the blows from these great fighters.

We’re so excited for our Mexican-American fan base. This is a great area for boxing. We endear ourselves to be involved with an event like this in anyway the Cowboys can. Especially with two great fighters like Spence and Garcia.

I think you’ll see a fight with outstanding champions involved on March 16. You don’t get to see the best against the best very often. At AT&T Stadium, you’ll see it in a way that can’t be matched at normal sports venues. The aura of having thousands of fans like at a football game is unmatched. It’s a grand experience and we’re proud to be a part of boxing.

RICHARD SCHAEFER, Voorsitter & Uitvoerende hoof van Ringstar Sport

The winner of this fight will be pound-for-pound the best in the world. Everybody would agree both of these guys are near the top of that list, and I believe whoever wins will be number one. This is a coronation for who is today the king of the sport.

Mikey Garcia is technically one of the best fighters in the world. Errol Spence Jr. is a strong, determined fighter who just wants to prove that he’s the best. This fight is a chance for both guys to prove they’re the best in the world.

TOM BROWN, President van TGB Promotions

This is a true blockbuster event, worthy of this incredible press conference live on FOX. These two fighters are not only superstars of the sport, but the winner of this fight will be able to make the claim of being number one pound-for-pound.

FOX and the Dallas Cowboys have given a tremendous amount of support to this event and we anticipate an unforgettable evening on March 16. Mikey Garcia is truly daring to be great against a fighter in Errol Spence Jr. who has established himself as the class of the 147-pound division.

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Oefenkamp gaan groot, ons is reg op koers. Daar was 'n klein probleempie in die kamp, ​​want ek was veronderstel om te veg op Oktober. 24. Ek het begin sparring, but once the fight got pushed back to November 14 I cut the sparring off. Ek wou nie te vroeg piek.
“Vandag (Dinsdag) is my eerste dag terug sparring. Ek werk op my tydsberekening, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon is sterk en duursaam. Hy kom reguit vorentoe. As sy hoek was slim sou hulle probeer om my hand wegneem spoed wat 'n groot faktor wees in die stryd. Hy sal nodig hê om die afstand te sluit, versmoor my stoot so spoed is nie 'n faktor.
“Ons is besig om op besig om net so gemaklik veg aan die buitekant as ek veg aan die binnekant.
“Baie van vegters is een-dimensionele. Ons probeer om daardie diamant skyn aan alle kante te maak.
“Ek weet dat ek seëvierende sal sonder twyfel. Enigiemand wat jy kry in die ring met hierdie klein, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Dit neem net een skoot. It’s the fightersjob to take away that opportunity.
“Ek is opgewonde om te veg, tydperk. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Dit neem 'n sekere tipe geestelike taaiheid en sielkundige krag in die ring te kry en uit te voer. Enigiemand wat in die ring teen my kry is 'n kampioen in my oë.
It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“As ek verby Escandon sou ek graag om te veg Leo Santa Cruz, we fought in the amateurs. But we never underestimate any opponent and we are focused on getting this fight out of the way first. Lee Selby is another guy that we’re looking at. Of course Abner Mares, selfs al het hy verloor, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Met my gesin saam met my in die oefenkamp beteken alles vir my. Dit is waar ek my energie uit. Baie van die ouens voel hulle het om weg te kom vir oefenkamp, maar ek het nie die huis te verlaat. My familie is die dryfkrag agter my oefenkamp en waar ek my krag en motivering. Aan die einde van die dag, Ek boks vir my familie.
“As my broer eindig veg op my undercard dit baie cool vir my sou wees. Dit sal snaaks wees, want as hy nie meeding, jy sal beslis sien my werk sy hoek voor my titel stryd.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Ek weet dit is 'n kampioenskap stryd, maar ons gaan in elke stryd soos dit is 'n titel stryd. Ons weet nie 'n ton van sy teenstander, ons het net lei soos kampioene.
“Ek het ses seuns, almal van hulle is vegters. Hulle het almal verskillende eienskappe as mense wat anders vertaal in wie hulle is as mense en in die ring.
“Antonio Russell is 4-0, Hy is regtig hard gewerk al van sy lewe. Buite die gimnasium, kan hy iets los. Antoine, wat net gekwalifiseer vir die Olimpiese proewe, is briljant. Ek is baie trots op hom, want hy het net gegradueer Valedictorian van sy klas met die hoogste GPA van iemand in Prince George's County. Dan moet jy Gary, wat so hard werk, Hy is die toekoms patriarg van die familie. Hy het 'n ou gees.
“Ek is trots op al my kinders en ek is trots daarop dat ons 'n sterk familie-eenheid. Ons het baie geleer uit verlies Gary se Vasyl Lomachenko. Ons het 'n leuse by die gimnasium wat hang aan 'n banier, dit sê 'Sukses is die uiteindelike wraak’ en ons het sedert die verlies geleef wat ooit. Ons het geleer 'n belangrike les uit die stryd en het op verhuis.
“Boks is 'n vlugtige ding, jy dit nie vir ewig nie. Ons doen ons eie ding. Ek is nie bekommerd oor wat ander mense gedoen het.
“Soos 'n vader, jou vaderlike instink skop in, want in hierdie sport, enigiets kan gebeur. Jy wil nie om te sien jou seun beland seer. So lei ons om enige omstandighede. As gevolg van dat instink, Ek het 'n streng en hard op my seuns om te probeer om hulle veilig te hou.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Veg op die Vrydag, Oktober. 30 nie-televisie Premier Boxing Champions op Bounce TV undercard en potensieel die November 14 undercard.):
“Met die manier waarop ons die trein en stryd, ons verdediging stel ons oortreding en ons oortreding stel ons verdediging.
“My werk is om in te gaan en wen gevegte. Ek weet my teenstander is 'n lang man, maar ek weet ook dat hy nie gaan wen. Hy het die pons krag of ring generaalskap dat ek nie.
“Sodra ek wen, Ek is op die volgende. Ek is opgelei om konsekwent te veg. Ek hoop ek vroeg hierdie man uit, as dit kom, en bied homself. Dan wil ek graag twee weke nadat veg op my ouer broer se kaart.”

PITTSBURGH, PA. (Februarie. 21, 2015) - Sammy Vasquez sit op 'n show vir sy tuisdorp ondersteuners in Pittsburgh, wen 'n naby-shutout 10-ronde eenparige besluit (99-91 twee keer, 100-90) oor Emmanuel Lartey in die belangrikste gebeurtenis van ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie Vrydag, Februarie. 20 van CONSUL Energie Center.

 

Vasquez (18-0, 13 Uitklophoue) ingeskryf het vir die bout op soek na sy 10ste agtereenvolgende uitklophou teen 'n teenstander wat nie platgeslaan voor en was in die ring met twee Amerikaanse. Olympians. The military veteran wasn’t able to finish Lartey (17-3, 8 Uitklophoue, 1 NC), maar dit was omtrent die enigste ding wat nie sy pad gaan in 'n deeglik indrukwekkende vertoning waarin hy geland het 50 persent van sy krag skote.

 

Vasquez begin stadig en was in staat om sy skote in die vroeë rondes te kies, but he accelerated the tempo in the second half of the fight as Lartey appeared to slow down. The hometown favorite did his best work with Lartey against the ropes and landed at will in the middle rounds. Lartey seemed like he was ready to quit on his stool after the eighth, maar hy het voortgegaan en Vasquez vertraag sy produksie in die laaste twee rondes en cruised na die oorwinning.

 

"Ek het gedink hy gaan af 'n paar keer, maar hy het daar gehang in,” Vasquez said. “The jab was going well, but I made a couple of mistakes because I started feeling comfortable. I knew he was hurt after the eighth and my corner told me to step off the gas a little bit and pick my punches more instead of just storming him.

 

“I thought he was going to quit a couple times on his stool. He’s a tough guy – no one could knock him out. Ek kon ook nie. "

 

Lartey gedaal sy derde stryd om 'n top vooruitsig ná besluit verliese te Errol Spence Jr.en Felix Diaz.

 

"Sammy is 'n taai vegter,” Lartey said. “He’s really strong. Ek het my bes gedoen, maar hy was net te goed. "

 

Na afloop van die stryd, ShoBox omroeper Steve Farhood gebreek Vasquez se indrukwekkende spel plan.

 

"Dit was 'n baie beheer en intelligente prestasie deur Vasquez, versnel as die rondes gevorder, elke ronde oorheers en beheer van die optrede of boks, aanval of pinning Lartey teen die toue,"Farhood gesê. “He showed a lot and he deserves the reputation he has as being one of the top young American welterweights.”

 

Craig Baker uitgeslaan Humberto Savigne in 'n pragtige ontsteld, afwerking van die ingelui voormalige Kubaanse amateur met 'n hoogtepunt-reel TKO by 1:58 van die tweede ronde.

 

Savigne (12-2, 9 Uitklophoue, 1 NC), wat 'n groot grootte voordeel gehad en was die swaar gunsteling vegter, 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, 'n ervare veteraan met meer as 400 amateur aanvalle op sy kerfstok.

 

Baker (16-0, 12 Uitklophoue) geland het 'n paar ordentlike skote in die eerste en kom uit die brandende in die tweede, 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, maar hy het in die toue en was duidelik uit op sy voete, dwing die skeidsregter die wedstryd te stop by 1:58.

 

"Ek is seer en hom in die eerste ronde en ek kon vertel dat sy ken was swak, Ek kon vertel dat ek hom kon voltooi,” Baker said. “In the second, Ek het net geruik bloed en ek het geweet ek het om te gaan werk, Ek moes hom klaar.

 

"Niemand het my 'n kans om te gaan in, 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.”

 

Die 36-jarige Savigne was duidelik geskok na die stryd.

 

"Hy was die beter man vanaand,” 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.

 

"In die eerste ronde, Baker het my aan die kant van die oor en ek ewewig verloor. Ek was heeltemal duiselig. He hurt me with that shot. Hy was die beter man vanaand. "

 

Claudio Marrero het 'n oorheersende eenparige besluit oorwinning oor Orlando Rizo in die opening van die beeldsending bout. Marrero (18-1, 13 Uitklophoue) beheer oor die bout uit die staanspoor, klop Rizo (18-6, 11 Uitklophoue) down vier keer op pad na 'n oortuigende oorwinning behaal 78-71, 78-70, 80-68.

 

Marrero was die meer aggressiewe en doeltreffende vegter, landing 43 persent van krag stoot en 39 persent van sy totale stoot.

 

"Ek het probeer om op te rig die groot skote so ek kon uiteindelik die nag,” Marrero said. “It got away from me at times, maar dit was 'n goeie voorbereiding vir die neem van daardie stap vir 'n kans op 'n wêreld-titel.

 

“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.”

Hier is wat die vegters te sê gehad het voordat Donderdag se inweeg:

 

SAMMY Vasquez

“This fight is definitely going to be exciting. I can’t talk trash about Emmanuel – he’s a tough guy who has faced two U.S. Olympians and never been dropped. So there’s not much I can say about him.

 

“I’m looking to open up some flaws. I’ve seen a couple of things I can do to maybe make him hit that canvas.

 

“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:

"Hy het nie die lig van die tipe ouens wat ek in die gesig gestaar; he hasn’t faced the opposition that I have. He’s going to be surprised when he steps in the ring with me.

 

"Moenie, I’m not worried about fighting in his hometown. I can win with a decision, maar ek gaan om te kyk vir die uitklophou 'n indruk te maak en 'n verklaring.

 

“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:

"Ek sien geen teenstander neem nie ligtelik. Ek weet Baker gaan probeer om my te breek, maar ek het baie hard geoefen en, in alle eerlik, Ek is beter as hy is. Moenie my verkeerd verstaan ​​nie neem, Ek sien hom nie oor nie. I’m just determined to win, en Ek sal, óf deur 'n besluit of uitklophou.

 

"Ek weet ek veg 'n moeilike man, but I’ve trained hard and this is my year. I’m lucky to be surrounded by such of great team.

 

"Ek voel dat 2015 is my jaar. Ek is op die derde plek in die WBC, en dit is net omdat ek het ses maande van onaktiwiteit, anders Ek wil sekonde. Na Baker, Ek wil [Adonis] Stevenson.

 

"Ek stel voor aanhangers gereed te kry, 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, maar ek is gereed om die aggressor te wees en ek is gereed om te gaan 10 rondtes. "

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO:

“I’m not intimidated by Rizo’s amateur accomplishments. If he says he trained hard, goed, Ek opgelei ooit harder as hy. Ek dink hy is die een wat nie weet wat hy in vir. Glo my - dit is nie van plan om 'n dag in die park wees. Dit gaan 'n oorlog te wees.

 

"Ek wens Orlando Rizo goeie geluk. Hy gaan dit nodig het om nie te kry platgeslaan.

 

"Ek is nie 'n asblik prater. Dit is eenvoudig nie my styl. Ek doen al die praatwerk ek nodig het om te doen met my vuiste in die ring. "

 

ORLANDO CURL:

"Ek weet dit is nie van plan om 'n maklike stryd wees. Ek weet Claudio Marrero is taai, but I’m ready for him. I’ve been training very hard for him. Hy beter gereed wees, want ek weet ek is.

 

"Ek dink nie hy het al ooit iemand geveg soos ek. My amateur geloofsbriewe is onberispelik. Ek is 'n vier-time militêre bokskampioen, drie keer Sentraal-Amerikaanse kampioen en voormalige Nicaraguaanse en FECARBOX Kampioen. Ek het ook 'n bronsmedalje in die 2007 Pan-Amerikaanse Spele in Brasilië. So het hy beter gereed vir 'n taai stryd wees, want ek is nie van plan om dit vir hom maklik om te maak.

 

"Claudio Marrero beter het sy A-wedstryd op, want ek kom om Hom af te neem. "
