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

ERROL Spence JR.

“Dette er en drøm. 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.

“Jeg er 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. Marts 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 træner

“I’m very happy to be here. It’s been a really good ride with Errol and myself. This is our 10th 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, Formand for 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.”

The event also featured an interview via satellite with Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager Jerry Jones, who shared his thoughts on the electrifying event coming to AT&T Stadium, before Spence and Garcia were gifted personalize Cowboys jerseys by two Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.

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 Kærlighed, 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. Levende:

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, ligesom mig. 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 træner

“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 its’ never 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. Jeg er ikke udsigt ham. 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 Schäfer, Formand & CEO for 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, Formand for 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.”

A 2012 Olympic Silver medalist from Mongoloa, Tugstsogt Nyambayar (8-0, 8 KOS) now fights out of Carson, California. The 25-year-old turned pro in March of 2015 with a first round knockout of Gabriel Braxton. Siden, Nyambayar has stopped every opponent in his path, including most recently scoring a 10thround TKO over Jhon Gemino in February.

Om at arbejde med Ruben Guerrero:
“Ruben and I have been working great together. His knowledge of fighting southpaws is excellent and we have a great game plan going into this fight. Everyone can expect to see me throw a lot of punches.”
På sin søgen efter at blive en verdensmester:
“Becoming a world champion is something I’ve wanted my whole life. I’ve been close a couple of times. In those fights I made the mistake of leaving the decision in the judges’ hænder. Denne gang, Jeg går efter knockout, at forsikre mig selv sejr.”

Her er hvad Russell Jr., Gary Russell Sr. (Garys far og træner) og Gary Antonio Russell(Garys lillebror og ubesejret boksning udsigten) havde at sige tirsdag:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Træningslejr går godt, vi er lige på vej. Der var en mindre problem i lejren, fordi jeg skulle til at kæmpe den okt. 24. Jeg begyndte sparring, but once the fight got pushed back to November 14 I cut the sparring off. Jeg ønskede ikke at toppe for tidligt.
“I dag (Tirsdag) var min første dag tilbage sparring igen. Jeg arbejder på min timing, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon er stærkt og holdbart. Han kommer lige frem. Hvis hans hjørne var smart de ville forsøge at tage min hånd hastighed, som vil være en stor faktor i kampen. Han bliver nødt til at lukke afstanden, kvæle mine slag, så hastigheden er ikke en faktor.
“Vi arbejder på at blive lige så behagelig kampene på ydersiden, som jeg kæmper på indersiden.
“En masse af krigere er endimensionale. Vi prøver at gøre denne diamant skinne på alle sider.
“Jeg ved, at jeg vil sejre uden tvivl. Enhver, som du får i ringen med disse små, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Det tager kun et skud. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Jeg er spændt på at bekæmpe, periode. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Det tager en bestemt type af mental sejhed og psykologisk styrke til at komme i ringen og udfører. Alle, der kommer i ringen mod mig, er en mester i mine øjne.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Hvis jeg komme forbi Escandon Jeg ville elske at kæmpe 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, selv om han mistede, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Under min familie med mig under træningslejren betyder alt for mig. Det er, hvor jeg får min energi fra. En masse fyre føle, at de er nødt til at komme væk for træningslejr, men jeg behøver ikke at forlade hjemmet. Min familie er den drivende kraft bag min træningslejr, og hvor jeg finder min magt og motivation. Ved slutningen af ​​dagen, Jeg box for min familie.
“Hvis min bror ender kampene på min undercard det ville være meget cool for mig. Det vil være sjovt, fordi hvis han ikke konkurrere, vil du helt sikkert se mig arbejde hans hjørne, før min titel kamp.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Jeg ved, det er et mesterskab kamp, men vi går ind i hver kamp som om det er en titel kamp. Vi kender ikke et ton om sin modstander, vi bare træne som mestre.
“Jeg har seks sønner, alle af dem er krigere. De har alle forskellige egenskaber som mennesker der oversætter forskelligt ind, hvem de er som mennesker, og i ringen.
“Antonio Russell er 4-0, han har arbejdet virkelig hårdt hele sit liv. Uden for gymnastiksalen, han kan ordne noget. Antoine, der netop kvalificeret til de olympiske forsøg, er genial. Jeg er meget stolt af ham, fordi han netop uddannet valedictorian af sin klasse med den højeste GPA på nogen i Prince George amt. Så har du Gary, der så hårdt arbejde, han er den fremtidige patriark af familien. Han har en gammel ånd.
“Jeg er stolt af alle mine børn, og jeg er stolt over, at vi er en stærk familie enhed. Vi lærte en masse fra Garys tab til Vasyl Lomachenko. Vi har et motto på gym, der hænger fra et banner, der står "Succes er den ultimative hævn’ og vi har levet af at lige siden tabet. Vi lærte en vigtig lektie fra denne kamp og har bevæget sig.
“Boksning er en flygtig ting, du ikke gør det for evigt. Vi gør vores egne ting. Jeg er ikke bekymret for, hvad andre mennesker har gjort.
“Som en far, din faderlige instinkt spark i, fordi i denne sport, alt kan ske. Du ønsker ikke at se din søn ender ondt. Så vi tog til enhver omstændighed. På grund af denne instinkt, Jeg har været en streng og hårdt på mine sønner for at forsøge at holde dem sikkert.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Kæmper på Fredag, Oktober. 30 ikke-tv-transmitteret Premier Boxing Champions på Bounce TV undercard og potentielt November 14 undercard.):
“Med den måde, vi træner og kamp, vores forsvar opstiller vores offensiv og vores offensiv opstiller vores forsvar.
“Mit job er at gå derind og vinde kampe. Jeg kender min modstander er en høj fyr, men jeg ved også, at han ikke kommer til at vinde. Han har ikke stansning magt eller ring generalship, at jeg har.
“Når jeg vinder, Jeg er til den næste. Jeg er uddannet til at kæmpe konsekvent. Jeg håber, at jeg får denne fyr ud tidligt, hvis det kommer og præsenterer sig selv. Så jeg ville elske at kæmpe på min ældre brors kort to uger efter.”

(Februar. 21, 2015) - Sammy Vasquez sat på et show for sin hjemby fans i Pittsburgh, vinde en nær-shutout 10-round enstemmig afgørelse (99-91 to gange, 100-90) løbet Emmanuel Lartey i de vigtigste tilfælde af ShoBox: Den nye generation på fredag, Februar. 20 fra CONSUL Energy Center.

 

Vasquez (18-0, 13 KOS) trådte kampen søger hans 10th træk knockout mod en modstander, som ikke var blevet slået ned før og havde været i ringen med to US. Olympians. Den militære veteran var ikke i stand til at afslutte Lartey (17-3, 8 KOS, 1 NC), men det var kun om det eneste, der ikke gik sin vej i en grundigt imponerende præstation, hvor han landede 50 procent af hans magt skud.

 

Vasquez begyndte langsom og var i stand til at plukke sine skud i de tidlige runder, men han accelererede tempoet i anden halvdel af kampen, da Lartey syntes at bremse. Hjemby foretrukne gjorde sit bedste arbejde med Lartey mod tovene og landede efter behag i de midterste runder. Lartey virkede som om han var klar til at stoppe på hans afføring efter den ottende, men han fortsatte og Vasquez bremset sin produktion i de sidste to runder, og cruisede til sejr.

 

"Jeg troede han var på vej ned et par gange, men han hang derinde,"Vasquez sagde. "The jab gik godt, men jeg gjorde et par fejl, fordi jeg begyndte at føle komfortable. Jeg vidste, at han kom til skade efter den ottende og min hjørne fortalte mig at træde ud gassen lidt og hente mine slag mere i stedet for bare at storme ham.

 

"Jeg troede, han ville holde op et par gange på sin skammel. Han er en hård fyr - ingen kunne slå ham ud. Jeg kunne heller ikke. "

 

Lartey droppede sin tredje kamp til en top udsigt efter beslutningsprocesser tab Errol Spence Jr.og Felix Diaz.

 

"Sammy er en hård fighter,"Lartey sagde. "Han er virkelig stærk. Jeg gjorde mit bedste, men han var bare alt for godt. "

 

Efter kampen, ShoBox announcer Steve Farhood brød Vasquez imponerende slagplan.

 

"Det var en meget kontrolleret og intelligent ydeevne ved Vasquez, accelerere runder skred, dominerer hver runde og styre handlingen, om boksning, angribe eller pinning Lartey mod tovene,"Farhood sagde. "Han viste en masse, og han fortjener det ry, han har for at være en af ​​de øverste unge amerikanske welterweights."

 

Craig Baker slået ud Humberto Savigne i en fantastisk forstyrret, efterbehandling indvarslede tidligere cubanske amatør med et højdepunkt-hjuls TKO på 1:58 af den anden runde.

 

Savigne (12-2, 9 KOS, 1 NC), der havde en enorm størrelse fordel og var den stærkt begunstigede fighter, landede en række rette hænder i den første og lignede han kunne gøre det til en hurtig nat mod ubesejrede-endnu-uprøvede Baker. Men texaner slås som en modstander, som ikke havde noget at tabe mod Savigne, en erfaren veteran med over 400 amatør anfald under hans bælte.

 

Baker (16-0, 12 KOS) landede et par anstændigt skud i den første og kom ud flammende i den anden, smide en høj volumen af ​​slag med Savigne mod tovene. Bekæmpelse i en lille ring, Savigne havde ingen steder at gå og konstant spiste skud på en mistænkt hage, før det faldt ansigt frem til lærredet. Savigne stod op, men han faldt i tovene og var tydeligvis ude på fødderne, tvinger dommeren at standse konkurrencen på 1:58.

 

"Jeg såre ham i første runde, og jeg kunne fortælle, at hans hage var svag, Jeg kunne fortælle, at jeg kunne afslutte ham,"Baker sagde. "I det andet, Jeg lugtede blod, og jeg vidste, at jeg var nødt til at gå på arbejde, Jeg var nødt til at slutte ham.

 

"Ingen gav mig chancen for at gå i, men jeg var den ubesejrede fighter og han var ikke. Jeg arbejdede for hårdt at komme her og taber. Jeg bare nødt til at holde arbejderklassen. Du har ikke set det sidste til mig - det er en livsændrende øjeblik ".

 

Den 36-årige Savigne var klart chokeret efter kampen.

 

"Han var den bedre mand i aften,"Said Savigne. "Jeg var ikke forventer ham til at være så hård, som han var. Jeg gjort en stor fejl i at tage ham let. Det er noget, jeg vil lære af. Nu vil jeg gå tilbage til tegnebrættet. Jeg vil gå tilbage til gymnastik - Jeg vil holde arbejder hårdt, og jeg vil være tilbage.

 

"I første runde, Baker ramte mig på den side af øret, og jeg mistede ligevægt. Jeg var helt svimmel. Han såre mig med at skud. Han var den bedste mand i aften. "

 

Claudio Marrero vandt en dominerende enstemmighed sejr over Orlando Rizo i åbningen anfald af telecast. Marrero (18-1, 13 KOS) kontrollerede kampen fra starten, banke Rizo (18-6, 11 KOS) ned fire gange på vej til en overbevisende sejr scoret 78-71, 78-70, 80-68.

 

Marrero var mere aggressiv og effektiv kampfly, landing 43 procent af power stempler og 39 procent af hans samlede slag.

 

"Jeg prøvede at oprette de store skud, så jeg kunne afslutte natten,"Marrero sagde. "Det fik væk fra mig til tider, men det var en god forberedelse til at tage det skridt for et skud på en verden titel.

 

"Jeg er ikke skuffet, jeg ikke banke ham ud. Jeg undervurderede hans ihærdighed for at komme tilbage op og bo i kampen, og jeg har brug for at arbejde på min disciplin, så det ikke sker igen. Jeg føler, at jeg er klar til et skud på en titel, når jeg får en chance. "

SAMMY VASQUEZ

"Denne kamp er helt sikkert vil være spændende. Jeg kan ikke tale trash om Emmanuel - han er en sej fyr, der har stået over for to US. Olympiske og aldrig blevet droppet. Så der er ikke meget jeg kan sige om ham.

 

"Jeg glæder mig til at åbne op for nogle mangler. Jeg har set et par ting, jeg kan gøre for at måske gøre ham skud afsted lærred.

 

"Jeg håber at alle melodier i. Vi har trænet hårdt, og det er kun begyndelsen. Det er starten af 2015 og ved udgangen af ​​det år, jeg håber at være en top contender eller få en titel skudt. Men jeg må komme forbi Emmanuel først, og det bliver ikke let. "

 

Emmanuel Lartey:

"Han har ikke konfronteret den type fyre, jeg har konfronteret; han ikke har stået over for oppositionen, at jeg har. Han kommer til at blive overrasket, når han træder i ringen med mig.

 

"Du skal ikke, Jeg er ikke bekymret for at kæmpe i sin hjemby. Jeg kan vinde med en beslutning, men jeg har tænkt mig at være på udkig efter knockout at gøre indtryk og afgive en redegørelse.

 

"Han har helt sikkert undervurderer mig. Sammy har opbygget sin rekord med cupcakes.

 

"Dette vil være en god test for ham og en god test for mig. Jeg har tænkt mig at være den, gå ud med en W. "

 

HUMBERTO Savigne:

"Jeg tager ikke nogen modstander let. Jeg ved Baker vil forsøge at bryde mig, men jeg har trænet meget hårdt og, i alle ærligt, Jeg er bedre end han er. Du må ikke tage mig forkert, Jeg er ikke udsigt ham. Jeg er bare fast besluttet på at vinde, og jeg vil, enten ved beslutning eller knockout.

 

"Jeg ved, jeg kæmper en hård fyr, men jeg har trænet hårdt, og det er mit år. Jeg er heldig at være omgivet af de af store hold.

 

"Jeg føler, at 2015 er mit år. Jeg rangeret tredje i WBC, og det er kun fordi jeg havde seks måneders inaktivitet, ellers ville jeg være andet. Efter Baker, Jeg ønsker [Adonis] Stevenson.

 

"Jeg foreslår fans til at blive klar, læne sig tilbage og nyde, fordi jeg har tænkt mig at give dem en reel show. Jeg har tænkt mig at gøre Baker se fyrværkeri. "

 

CRAIG BAKER:

"Dette er den kamp, ​​jeg har ventet på. Jeg får endelig mulighed for at komme med en erklæring og overraske nogle mennesker. Jeg ved, at jeg er underdog, men det generer mig ikke. Jeg er ubesejret af en grund. Han er den med et tab på hans rekord.

 

”En sejr ville gøre underværker for min karriere. Det ville åbne døren for nogle store muligheder.

 

”Det bliver en interessant kamp. Jeg spiller det efter øret, men jeg er klar til at være den angribende, og jeg er klar til at gå 10 runder. "

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO:

”Jeg er ikke skræmt af Rizos amatørpræstationer. Hvis han siger, at han trænet hårdt, godt, Jeg trænede stadig hårdere end ham. Jeg tror han er den, der ikke ved, hvad han er i for. Tro mig - er det ikke kommer til at være en dag i parken. Dette vil være en krig.

 

"Jeg ville ønske Orlando Rizo held og lykke. Han vil få brug for det ikke at blive slået ned.

 

"Jeg er ikke en trash talker. Det er simpelthen ikke min stil. Jeg gør alle de taler, jeg har brug for at gøre med mine næver i ringen. "

 

ORLANDO CURL:

"Jeg ved, det kommer ikke til at være en nem kamp. Jeg ved Claudio Marrero er hård, men jeg er klar til ham. Jeg har trænet meget hårdt for ham. Han må hellere være klar, fordi jeg ved, jeg er.

 

"Jeg tror ikke, han nogensinde har kæmpet nogen som mig. Mine amatør legitimationsoplysninger er upåklagelig. Jeg er en fire-tiden militær boksning, tre-tiden mellemamerikanske mester og tidligere nicaraguanske og FECARBOX Champion. Jeg fik også en bronzemedalje i 2007 Pan-American Games i Brasilien. Så han må hellere være klar til en hård kamp, fordi jeg ikke har tænkt mig at gøre det let for ham.

 

"Claudio Marrero bedre har sin A-spil på, fordi jeg kommer til at tage ham ned. "
