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

ERROL Spence JR.

“Þetta er draumur að rætast. 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.

“Ég 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. Mars 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 er Trainer

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, Forseti TGB Tilboð

“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. 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, bara eins og 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 er Trainer

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. 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, Formaður & Forstjóri 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, Forseti TGB Tilboð

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.

WASHINGTON, D.C. –(Október. 28, 2015) -Beltway-svæði innfæddur Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 Kos) hélt fjölmiðla líkamsþjálfun á Ráðgátur Boxing Club í Capital Heights, MD á þriðjudag eins og hann undirbýr fyrir úrslita lota hans á Nóvember 14 á Showtime.
Russell Jr. mun gera fyrsta varnir WBC hans featherweight Heimsmeistaramótinu gegn Kólumbíu Oscar Escandon (24-2, 16 Kos) í aðalkeppni á Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP Hnefaleikar á Laugardagur, Nóvember. 14, lifa á Showtime (10:45 p.m. OG/PT) frá Hard Rock Hotel & Casino í Las Vegas.
Hér er það sem Russell Jr., Gary Russell Sr. (Faðir Gary og þjálfari) og Gary Antonio Russell(Yngri bróðir Gary og undefeated box horfur) þurfti að segja á þriðjudag:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Æfingabúðir er að fara mikill, við erum rétt á námskeið. Það var smá stress í búðunum vegna þess að ég átti að berjast á okt. 24. Ég byrjaði sparring, but once the fight got pushed back to Nóvember 14 I cut the sparring off. Ég vildi ekki að hámarki of snemma.
“Í dag (Þriðjudagur) var fyrsti dagurinn minn aftur sparring aftur. Ég er að vinna á tímasetningu minn, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon er sterkt og endingargott. Hann kemur beint áfram. Ef horn hans var klár að þeir myndu reyna að taka burt hönd hraða minn sem verður stór þáttur í baráttunni. Hann mun þurfa að loka fjarlægð, kæfa kýla mínum svo hraði er ekki þáttur.
“Við erum að vinna í að verða bara eins og þægilegt berjast utan eins og ég er að berjast á inni.
“A einhver fjöldi af bardagamenn eru einn-víddar. Við erum að reyna að gera það demantur skína á öllum hliðum.
“Ég veit að ég mun sigra án efa. Einhver sem þú færð í hringinn með þessum lítill, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Það tekur aðeins eitt skot. It’s the fightersjob to take away that opportunity.
“Ég er spenntur að berjast, tímabil. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Það tekur ákveðna tegund af andlegu Toughness og sálfræðileg styrk til að komast í hringinn og framkvæma. Sá sem fær í hringinn gegn mér er meistari í mínum augum.
It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Ef ég komast yfir Escandon ég myndi elska að berjast 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, jafnvel þótt hann missti, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Having fjölskyldu mína með mér á æfingabúðir þýðir allt fyrir mig. Það er þar sem ég fá orku mína frá. A einhver fjöldi af krakkar finnst eins og þeir þurfa að komast í burtu æfingabúðir, en ég þarf ekki að fara heim. Fjölskyldan mín er drifkrafturinn á bak við æfingabúðir minn og þar sem ég finna mátt minn og hvatning. Í lok dagsins, Ég kassi fyrir fjölskyldu mína.
“Ef bróðir minn endar berjast á undercard mína það væri mjög flott fyrir mig. Það verður fyndið því ef hann er að keppa, þú munt örugglega sjá mig vinna horn hans áður titli baráttu mína.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Ég veit að það er úrslita berjast, en við förum inn í hvert baráttunni eins og það er titill berjast. Við vitum ekki tonn um andstæðingi sínum, við lest bara eins meistarar.
“Ég hef sex sonu, öllum þeim eru bardagamenn. Þeir hafa allir mismunandi eiginleika eins og fólk sem þýða á annan inn sem þeir eru eins og fólk og í hringnum.
“Antonio Russell er 4-0, hann er unnið mjög hart allt sitt líf. Utan ræktina, hann getur lagað allt. Antoine, sem bara hæfur fyrir the Olympic rannsóknum, er ljómandi. Ég er mjög stolt af honum vegna þess að hann útskrifaðist bara valedictorian af bekknum með hæsta GPA á einhver í sýslu Prince George. Síðan sem þú ert Gary, hver er svo erfitt að vinna, Hann er framtíð patriarcha af fjölskyldunni. Hann hefur gamla anda.
“Ég er stolt af öllum krökkunum mínum og ég er stolt af því að við erum sterk fjölskyldan eining. Við lærðum mikið af tapi Gary að Vasyl Lomachenko. Við höfum einkunnarorð í ræktinni sem hangir úr borði, það segir "Velgengni er Ultimate Revenge’ og við höfum búið við að síðan tap. Við lærði mikilvæga lexíu af þessari baráttu og hafa flutt.
“Boxing er skammvinnur hlutur, þú gerir það ekki að eilífu. Við erum að gera eigin hlutur okkar. Ég hef ekki áhyggjur af því sem aðrir hafa gert.
“Sem faðir, ingar eðlishvöt ánægja í því að í þessari íþrótt, allt getur gerst. Þú vilt ekki að sjá son þinn endað meiða. Þannig að við að þjálfa fyrir hvaða aðstæður. Vegna þess eðlishvöt, Ég hef verið strangur og harður á sona minna í því skyni að reyna að halda þeim öruggum.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Fighting á Föstudagur, Október. 30 ekki sjónvarpað Premier box meistarar á Bounce TV undercard og hugsanlega Nóvember 14 undercard.):
“Með hvernig við þjálfa og baráttunni, vörnin okkar setur upp afbrot okkar og brot okkar setur upp varnir okkar.
“Mitt starf er að fara í það og vinna berst. Ég veit andstæðingurinn minn er mikill gaur, en ég veit líka að hann er ekki að fara að vinna. Hann hefur ekki gata vald eða hringur generalship sem ég hef.
“Þegar ég unnið, Ég er á til the næstur. Ég þjálfaðir til að berjast stöðugt. Ég vona að ég fái þetta strákur út snemma, ef það kemur og kynnir sig. Þá myndi ég elska að berjast á kortið eldri bróður míns tveimur vikum eftir.”

Vasquez byrjaði hægt og var fær um að taka skot hans í fyrstu umferðum, 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, en hann hélt áfram og Vasquez dró framleiðslu sinni í síðustu tveimur umferðum og skemmtisigling til sigurs.

 

"Ég hélt að hann væri að fara niður nokkrum sinnum en hann hékk þarna,” 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. Ég gat ekki heldur. "

 

Lartey lækkað þriðja baráttu sinni við topp horfur eftir ákvörðun tapi Errol Spence Jr.og Felix Diaz.

"Það var mjög stjórnað og greindur afkoma Vasquez, hraða sem umferðir framfarir, ráðandi hvert umferð og stjórnuðu leiknum hvort box, ráðast á eða skipsbátur Lartey gegn reipi,” Farhood said. “He showed a lot and he deserves the reputation he has as being one of the top young American welterweights.”

 

Craig Baker slegnir út Humberto Savigne í töfrandi uppnámi, klára boðberi fyrrverandi Kúbu áhugamaður með hápunktur-spóla TKO á 1:58 af annarri umferð.

 

Savigne (12-2, 9 Kos, 1 NC), sem hafði mikil stærð kostur og var þungt studdi bardagamaður, 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, reyndur öldungur með yfir 400 áhugamanna bardaga undir belti sér.

 

Baker (16-0, 12 Kos) lenti nokkrum ágætis skot í fyrsta og kom út logi í annarri, 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, en hann féll í böndunum og var greinilega út á fætur, þvingunar dómarinn að stöðva keppnina á 1:58.

 

"Ég meiða hann í fyrstu umferð og ég gæti sagt að haka hans var veik, Ég gæti sagt að ég gæti klára hann,” Baker said. “In the second, Ég lyktaði bara blóð og ég vissi að ég þurfti að fara að vinna, Ég þurfti að klára hann.

 

"Enginn gaf mér tækifæri að fara í, 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.”

 

The 36-ára gamall Savigne var greinilega hneykslaður eftir að berjast.

 

"Hann var betri maður í kvöld,” 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.

 

"Í fyrstu umferð, Baker högg mig á hlið eyrað og ég missti jafnvægi. Ég var alveg svima. He hurt me with that shot. Hann var betri maður í kvöld. "

 

Claudio Marrero vann ríkjandi einróma ákvörðun sigri Orlando Rizo í opnun lota af útsending. Marrero (18-1, 13 Kos) stjórnað bardagann frá upphafi, berja Rizo (18-6, 11 Kos) niður fjórum sinnum á leiðinni til sannfærandi sigur skoraði 78-71, 78-70, 80-68.

 

Marrero var ákveðnari og skilvirk bardagamaður, lending 43 prósent af orku kýla og 39 prósent af heildar kýla hans.

 

"Ég var að reyna að setja upp stór skot svo ég gæti endað í nótt,” Marrero said. “It got away from me at times, en það var góður undirbúningur fyrir að taka þessi skref fyrir skot í heiminum titil.

 

“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.”

Hér er það sem bardagamenn þurfti að segja áður Fimmtudagur er innvigtun:

 

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:

"Hann hefur ekki staðið frammi tegund af krakkar sem ég hef blasa; he hasn’t faced the opposition that I have. He’s going to be surprised when he steps in the ring with me.

 

"Do Not, I’m not worried about fighting in his hometown. I can win with a decision, en ég ætla að vera að leita að knockout að gera far og gera yfirlýsingu.

 

“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:

"Ég tek ekki allir andstæðing létt. Ég veit Baker er að fara að reyna að brjóta mig, en ég hef þjálfað mjög erfitt og, í öllum heiðarleika, Ég er betri en hann er. Ekki taka mig rangur, I’m not overlooking him. I’m just determined to win, og ég mun, annaðhvort með ákvörðun eða knockout.

 

"Ég veit að ég er að berjast sterkur strákur, but I’ve trained hard and this is my year. I’m lucky to be surrounded by such of great team.

 

"Mér finnst að 2015 er árið mitt. Ég er raðað þriðji í WBC, og það er aðeins vegna þess að ég hafði sex mánaða aðgerðaleysi, annars myndi ég vera annað. Eftir Baker, Ég vil [Adonis] Stevenson.

 

"Ég legg til að aðdáendur að fá tilbúinn, 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, en ég er tilbúinn til að vera árásaraðili og ég er tilbúin að fara 10 umferðir. "

 

Claudio MARRERO:

“I’m not intimidated by Rizo’s amateur accomplishments. If he says he trained hard, vel, Ég þjálfaði alltaf erfiðara en honum. Ég held að hann sé sá sem veit ekki hvað hann er í fyrir. Treystu mér - þetta er ekki að fara að vera dagur í garðinum. Þetta er að fara til vera a stríð.

 

"Ég óska ​​Orlando Rizo Gangi þér vel. Hann er að fara að þurfa það ekki að fá slegnir niður.
