Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday:

ERROL SPENCE JR.

“Això és un somni fet realitat. 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.

“Estic 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. Març 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, Entrenador de Spence

I’m very happy to be here. It’s been a really good ride with Errol and myself. This is our 10º 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 & Entrenador

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 de Promocions TGB

“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.

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

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, Entrenador de Spence

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 & Entrenador

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. I’m not overlooking him. 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, President & Director general d'Esports Ringstar

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 de Promocions TGB

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.

Això és el que Russell Jr., Gary Russell Sr. (Pare i entrenador de Gary) i Gary Antonio Russell(El germà menor de Gary i el prospecte de la boxa invicte) havia de dir el dimarts:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“El camp d'entrenament va molt bé, estem just en el camí. Hi havia un petit singlot al camp, perquè se suposava que havia de lluitar a l'octubre. 24. Vaig començar combat, but once the fight got pushed back to Novembre 14 I cut the sparring off. Jo no volia al seu punt màxim massa aviat.
“Avui (Dimarts) va ser el meu primer dia de tornada entrenant de nou. Estic treballant en el meu calendari, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandón és forta i duradora. Ell ve cap endavant recta. Si el seu cantó era intel·ligent que els tracten de llevar-me la velocitat de la mà, que serà un gran factor en la lluita. Haurà de tancar la distància, sufocar els meus cops el que la velocitat no és un factor.
“Estem treballant en convertir-se en combats tan còmode a l'exterior com estic lluitant a l'interior.
“Una gran quantitat de combatents són unidimensionals. Estem tractant de fer que aquesta brillantor de diamants en tots els costats.
“Sé que vaig a sortir victoriós, sens dubte,. Qualsevol persona que s'obté en el ring amb aquests petits, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Només es necessita un tret. It’s the fightersjob to take away that opportunity.
“Estic emocionat de barallar, període. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Es necessita un cert tipus de fortalesa mental i la força psicològica per entrar al ring i realitzar. Qualsevol persona que es fica al ring contra mi és un campió en els meus ulls.
It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Si aconsegueixo passat Escandón M'encantaria barallar Leo Santa Creu, 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, tot i que va perdre, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Tenir a la meva família amb mi durant el camp d'entrenament és tot per a mi. És el lloc on puc obtenir el meu energia a partir de. Un munt de nois senten que tenen una escapada per el campament d'entrenament, però jo no he de sortir de casa. La meva família és la força impulsora darrere del meu camp d'entrenament i on trobo el meu poder i la motivació. Al final de la dia, Barallo per la meva família.
“Si el meu germà acaba lluitant a la meva targeta no seria molt cool per a mi. Serà curiós, perquè si no competir, que sens dubte veure treballar el seu cantó abans de la meva lluita pel títol.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Sé que és una baralla de campionat, però entrem en cada baralla com si fos una baralla de títol. No sabem un munt sobre la seva oponent, només entrenem com a campions.
“Tinc sis fills, tots ells són combatents. Tots ells tenen diferents atributs com la gent que es tradueixen de manera diferent al que són com a persones i en l'anell.
“Antonio Russell és 4-0, que ha treballat molt dur tota la seva vida. Fora del gimnàs, ell pot arreglar qualsevol cosa. Antoine, que només classificat per a les proves olímpiques, és brillant. Estic molt orgullosa d'ell perquè ell acaba de graduar millor estudiant de la seva classe amb la mitjana més alta de qualsevol persona al comtat de Prince George. Llavors vostè té Gary, a qui correspon el treball dur, ell és el futur patriarca de la família. Té un esperit d'edat.
“Estic orgullós de tots els meus fills i estic orgullós que som una unitat familiar forta. Hem après molt de la pèrdua de Gary a Vasyl Lomachenko. Tenim un lema al gimnàs que penja d'una bandera, diu "L'èxit és la Ultimate Revenge’ i hem viscut per que des que la pèrdua. Hem après una lliçó important d'aquesta baralla i hem seguit endavant.
“La boxa és una cosa passatgera, vostè no ho fa per sempre. Estem fent la nostra pròpia cosa. No estic preocupat pel que altres persones han fet.
“Com a pare, el seu instint paternal entra en acció perquè en aquest esport, qualsevol cosa pot passar. No vol veure a acabar la seva fill danyat. Així que ens entrenem per a qualsevol circumstància. A causa de que l'instint, He estat estricte i dur en els meus fills per tal de tractar de mantenir fora de perill.”
GARY RUSSELL ANTONIO (La lluita contra el Divendres, Octubre. 30 no televisada Premier Campions de boxa a la cartellera del comiat de TV i potencialment el Novembre 14 cartellera.):
“Amb la forma en què entrenem i lluita, la nostra defensa estableix la nostra ofensiva i la nostra ofensiva estableix la nostra defensa.
“La meva feina consisteix en anar-hi i guanyar baralles. Sé que el meu oponent és una mena alt, però també sé que no guanyarà. Ell no té el poder de cop o generalat anell que tinc.
“Una vegada que guanyo, Estic a la següent. Estic entrenat per lluitar constantment. Espero tenir aquest tipus abans d'hora, si ve i es presenta. Llavors m'encantaria barallar en la targeta del meu germà gran, dues setmanes després.”

PITTSBURGH, Pennsilvània. (Febrer. 21, 2015) - Sammy Vasquez muntar un espectacle per als seus fanàtics locals a Pittsburgh, guanyant una decisió unànime gairebé blanquejada de 10 assalts (99-91 dues vegades, 100-90) sobre Emmanuel Lartey en l'esdeveniment principal de ShoBox: La Nova Generació el divendres, Febrer. 20 des CONSUL Energy Center.

 

Vásquez (18-0, 13 KOs) entrar a la baralla a la recerca de la seva 10º nocaut consecutiu davant un rival que no havia estat enderrocat abans i havia estat en el ring amb dos dels EUA. Olímpics. The military veteran wasn’t able to finish Lartey (17-3, 8 KOs, 1 NC), però que era gairebé l'única cosa que no segueixi el seu camí en un fons impressionant actuació en la qual va desembarcar 50 per cent dels seus tirs de l'energia.

 

Vásquez va començar lent i era capaç de recollir els seus tirs en les primeres rondes, 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, però ell va continuar i Vásquez va desaccelerar la seva producció en les últimes dues rondes i va navegar a la victòria.

 

"Vaig pensar que anava cap baix un parell de vegades, però ell va aguantar,” 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. Jo tampoc podia ".

 

Lartey caure la seva tercera baralla a una perspectiva superior després de derrotes per decisió a Errol Spence Jr.i Félix Díaz.

 

"Sammy és un lluitador dur,” Lartey said. “He’s really strong. Vaig fer tot el possible, però ell era massa bo ".

 

Després de la baralla, ShoBox locutor Steve Farhood trencar impressionant pla de joc de Vásquez.

 

"Va ser una actuació molt controlat i intel·ligent per Vásquez, accelerar com les rondes progressar, dominant totes les rondes i control de l'acció si la boxa, atacar o fixant Lartey contra les cordes,” Farhood said. “He showed a lot and he deserves the reputation he has as being one of the top young American welterweights.”

 

Craig Baker, noquejat Humberto Savigne en una sorprenent victòria, acabar l'ex amateur cubà anunciada amb un nocaut tècnic en el punt culminant rodets en 1:58 de la segona ronda.

 

Savigne (12-2, 9 KOs, 1 NC), que tenia un enorme avantatge de mida i era el gran favorit de combat, 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 veterà amb més de 400 baralles amateur en el seu haver.

 

Forner (16-0, 12 KOs) aterrar alguns trets decents a la primera i va sortir cremant en la segona, 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, però va caure en les cordes i estava clarament fora dels seus peus, que va obligar l'àrbitre a aturar la baralla als 1:58.

 

"El llastimar a la primera volta i em vaig adonar que la seva barbeta era feble, Em vaig adonar que jo pogués acabar,” Baker said. “In the second, Acabo vaig olorar sang i jo sabia que havia d'anar a treballar, Havia d'acabar amb ell.

 

"Ningú em va donar l'oportunitat d'anar a, 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.”

 

El jugador de 36 anys d'edat, Savigne va ser clarament commocionat després de la baralla.

 

"Ell va ser el millor home aquesta nit,” 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.

 

"A la primera ronda, Baker m'ha colpejat al costat de l'orella i vaig perdre l'equilibri. Jo estava completament marejat. He hurt me with that shot. Ell va ser el millor home aquesta nit ".

 

Claudio Marrero va obtenir una victòria per decisió unànime dominant sobre Orlando Rizo en la primera baralla de la transmissió. Marrero (18-1, 13 KOs) controlar la baralla des del principi, Knocking Rizo (18-6, 11 KOs) fins a quatre vegades en ruta a una victòria convincent anotar 78-71, 78-70, 80-68.

 

Marrero va ser el lluitador més agressiu i eficaç, aterratge 43 per cent dels cops de poder i 39 per cent del seu total de ponches.

 

"Jo estava tractant d'establir els peixos grossos que jo pogués acabar la nit,” Marrero said. “It got away from me at times, però va ser una bona preparació per fer aquest pas per a una oportunitat per un títol 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.”

Això és el que els combatents havien de dir abans Dijous de pesatge:

 

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:

"No s'ha enfrontat el tipus de nois que m'he enfrontat; he hasn’t faced the opposition that I have. He’s going to be surprised when he steps in the ring with me.

 

"No, I’m not worried about fighting in his hometown. I can win with a decision, però vaig a estar buscant el nocaut per fer una impressió i fer una declaració.

 

“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 Savigné:

"Jo no prenc qualsevol oponent a la lleugera. Sigues forner va a tractar de trencar, però he entrenat molt dur i, en tots honestament, Jo sóc millor que ell. No em mal, I’m not overlooking him. I’m just determined to win, i ho faré, ja sigui per decisió o nocaut.

 

"Sé que estic lluitant contra un tipus dur, but I’ve trained hard and this is my year. I’m lucky to be surrounded by such of great team.

 

"Sento que 2015 és el meu any. Estic ocupar el tercer lloc en el Clàssic Mundial, i això és només perquè jo tenia sis mesos d'inactivitat, en cas contrari estaria segons. Després de Baker, Vull [Adonis] Stevenson.

 

"Suggereixo ventiladors per preparar, 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, però estic disposat a ser l'agressor i jo estic llest per anar 10 rondes ".

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO:

“I’m not intimidated by Rizo’s amateur accomplishments. If he says he trained hard, bé, Em vaig entrenar cada vegada més difícil que ell. Crec que és el que no sap el que l'espera. Confia en mi - això no serà un dia al parc. Això serà una guerra.

 

"Desitjo Orlando Rizo bona sort. Ell necessitarà que no quedar enderrocat.

 

"No sóc un xerraire d'escombraries. Simplement no és el meu estil. Ho faig tot el parlar que he de fer amb els meus punys al ring ".

 

ORLANDO RIS:

"Sé que això no serà una baralla fàcil. Sé Claudio Marrero és dura, but I’m ready for him. I’ve been training very hard for him. Més li val estar llest, perquè jo sé que sóc.

 

"No crec que ell ha lluitat mai ningú com jo. Els meus credencials aficionats són impecables. Sóc un campió de boxa militar en quatre ocasions, tres vegades campió centreamericà i l'ex campió nicaragüenc i FECARBOX. També em van donar una medalla de bronze en el 2007 Jocs Panamericanos al Brasil. Així que millor que sigui a punt per a una baralla dura, perquè jo no faré més fàcil per a ell.

 

"Claudio Marrero millor que tingui el seu millor joc en, perquè jo vaig a baixar ".
