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

Errol Spence JR.

“Isto é un soño feito realidade. 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.

“Eu son 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. Marzo 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, Formador de Spence

“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 & Adestrador

“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, Presidente da TGB Promocións

“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.

Tickets for the March 16 evento, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Ringstar Sports, xa están á venda, and can be purchased at SeatGeek.com, the Official Ticketing Provider of AT&T Stadium.

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 Amor, 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. Vivo:

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, Formador 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 & Adestrador

“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. 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, Presidente & CEO de Ringstar Sports

“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, Presidente da TGB Promocións

“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.

GARY RUSSELL ELEM.:
“Campo de adestramento está indo moi ben, estamos no rumbo correcto. Houbo un menor soluçar no campamento, porque eu debería loitar outubro. 24. Comecei a pelexar, but once the fight got pushed back to Novembro 14 I cut the sparring off. Eu non quería pico moi cedo.
“Hoxe (Martes) foi o meu primeiro día de volta de pelexar novo. Eu estou a traballar no meu calendario, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon é forte e duradeiro. Vén á fronte. Se o seu canto era intelixente eles ían tentar sacar a miña velocidade da man, que será un gran factor na loita. Vai ter para pechar a distancia, sufocar meus golpes así que a velocidade non é un factor.
“Estamos a traballar para facer a loita tan cómodo no exterior como eu estou loitando no interior.
“Unha morea de loitadores son unidimensionais. Estamos intentando facer ese brillo de diamantes de todas as partes.
“Sei que vou ser vitorioso, sen dúbida,. Calquera que entrar no arena con estes pequenos, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Só leva un tiro. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Estou animado para loitar, período. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. É preciso un certo tipo de forza mental e forza psicolóxica para entrar no arena e executar. Calquera que entra no arena contra min é un campión nos meus ollos.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Se eu pasar Escandon Encantaríame loitar 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, aínda que perdeu, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Tendo a miña familia comigo durante o campamento de adestramento significa todo para min. É onde eu recibín a miña enerxía a partir de. Unha morea de caras senten que teñen que fuxir para o campo de adestramento, pero eu non teño que saír de casa. Miña familia é a forza motriz detrás do meu campo de adestramento e onde atopa meu poder e motivación. Ao final do día, Eu caixa para a miña familia.
“Se meu irmán acaba loitando no meu eliminatoria sería moi legal para min. Vai ser divertido, porque se non competir, que sempre vai verme traballar seu canto antes da miña loita polo título.”
GARY RUSSELL ST.:
“Sei que é unha loita polo campionato, pero nós entramos en cada loita como se fose unha loita polo título. Non sabemos moitas cousas sobre o seu adversario, nós só adestrar como campións.
“Teño seis fillos, todos eles son loitadores. Teñen todos os atributos diferentes que as persoas que traducen de xeito diferente en que son como persoas e no anel.
“Antonio Russell é 4-0, traballou duro toda a súa vida. Fóra do ximnasio, pode resolver algo. Antoine, que só se clasificou para as Olimpíadas, é brillante. Estou moi orgulloso del porque acaba de se formar o orador oficial da súa clase, co máis alto GPa de ninguén no condado de Prince George. Entón tes Gary, que é tan duro de traballo, el é o futuro patriarca da familia. El ten un espírito vello.
“Estou orgulloso de todos os meus fillos e eu estou orgulloso de que somos unha forte unidade familiar. Aprendemos moito coa perda de Gary para Vasyl Lomachenko. Temos un lema no ximnasio que colga dun banner, el di que "O éxito é o Ultimate Revenge’ e temos vivido por que, desde a perda. Aprendemos unha importante lección que loita e se mudaron.
“O boxeo é unha cousa pasaxeira, non facelo sempre. Estamos facendo a nosa propia cousa. Eu non estou preocupado co que os demais teñen feito.
“Como un pai, seu instinto paternal nos patadas porque neste deporte, todo pode ocorrer. Non quere ver o seu fillo acabar hurt. Entón, nós entrenamos para calquera circunstancia. Debido a que o instinto, Eu fun rigoroso e duro cos meus fillos, a fin de tentar mantelos seguros.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Loitando na Venres, Outubro. 30 non televisada Premier Boxeo Campións na eliminatoria Bounce TV e potencialmente o Novembro 14 eliminatoria.):
“Coa nosa forma de adestrar e loita, nosa defensa configura noso ataque eo noso ataque configura nosa defensa.
“O meu traballo é ir alí e vencer as loitas. Sei que o meu adversario é un cara alto, pero tamén sei que non vai gañar. Non ten o poder de perforación ou anel de generalato que teño.
“Despois que eu gañar, Eu son á seguinte. Estou adestrado para loitar de forma consistente. Espero que eu incorporarse este cara a fóra cedo, se ven e presenta-se. Entón eu adoro loitar no card do meu irmán máis vello de dúas semanas despois.”

The military veteran wasn’t able to finish Lartey (17-3, 8 Kos, 1 NC), pero que foi practicamente o único que non seguir o seu camiño de unha performance impresionante en que desembarcou 50 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía.

 

Vasquez comezou lento e era capaz de escoller os seus tiros nas primeiras roldas, 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, pero el continuou e Vasquez diminuíu a súa produción nas dúas roldas finais e cruzou para a vitoria.

 

"Eu penso que estaba indo para abaixo algunhas veces, pero el colgado alí,” 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. Eu non podería quere. "

 

Lartey deixou caer a súa terceira loita para unha perspectiva superior tras as perdas de decisión para Errol Spence Jr.e Felix Diaz.

Craig Baker nocauteado Humberto Savigne nunha virada impresionante, terminando o ex afeccionado cubano anunciado cun TKO destaque-Reel en 1:58 da segunda rolda.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Claudio Marrero gañou unha vitoria por decisión unánime sobre dominando Orlando Rizo na loita Entrada a cerimonia. Marrero (18-1, 13 Kos) controlado o ataque desde o inicio, batendo Rizo (18-6, 11 Kos) abaixo catro veces a camiño dunha vitoria convincente marcou 78-71, 78-70, 80-68.

 

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

 

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

 

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

Aquí está o que os loitadores tiñan que dicir antes Xoves pesaxe:

 

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:

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Humberto SAVIGNE:

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

CRAIG BAKER:

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

 

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

 

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

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO:

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

 

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

 

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

 

ORLANDO CURL:

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

 

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

 

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