Hic est quod pugnatores dicere debuerunt on Tuesday:
ADONIS STEVENSON
"Paratus sum quod novi Fonfara periculosum est". Nos eum non minoris aestimamus. Paravi omnia, omnia quae anulum profert parata ero.
"Ego exerceo ad knockout". Emanuel Senescallus semper dixit mihi 'stimulos vendere.' Cum venero in anulo quem vado pro pulso.. Optionem mihi ire non est 12 rounds.
"Ego instituendi" 12 rounds, si quidem 12 circumeat totum tempus poenas daturus est, sed certus eo ad knockout.
"Video quaedam res in anulo uti possum".
"Ego prima pugna vicit, et ego novi illum optime. Scio quid possit facere. Scio mutata magistri. Vergilius Venator multum experientia, Scio docet Andre Ward, et scio ipsum intelligentem.
"Scio Andrzej Fonfara from 12 rounds in anulum. Stylum suum nunc mutare non potest. Ut ostenderet aliquam defensionem emendatam, sed post duos orbes vetus Fonfara . erit.
"Haec pugna erit alia". Expecto enim knockout. In primo pugna manum meam vulneravi, sed nunc plene sanus sum et exspecto eum foras.
"Scio Fonfara exercet difficile ad balteum meum". Scio eum lentum esse pugnatorem, et scio me non facilem fore.
"Meum propositum est titulis uniendis cum victoris of" (Sergey) Kovalev and (Other) Ward. Volo adunationem, sin minus, faciam mandata mea. Si Ward vincit volo pugnare eum, Si Kovalev vincit volo pugnare eum. Paratus sum. "
Andrzej Fonfara
"Ego multo smarter Pugnator nunc". Mentaliter, Sum valde fortis et smarter.
"Ego meliorem me". Publius Vergilius Maro (Venator) docuit me multum novum supellectilem. Quaedam laboraverunt in ultima pugna cum Chad Dawson, quaedam non. Sed ea fuit prima pugna. Nunc paratus sum omnia in hac pugna ostendere.
"Ego multum prosperi contra southpaws habui". Mihi placet pugnando eos. Ceadda Dawson erat southpaw, ut duo ultimis proeliis, quattuor mensibus, paravimus solum southpaws.
"Paratus sum optime Cicero.
"Mea castra bene. Sparring erat magna. Secunda plena castra cum Virgilio Venator est et multum emendavimus cum prima pugna.
"Non possum eadem facere errata in prima pugna egi". Pugnandum est multo smarter.
"Stevenson solum habet bonam manum sinistram". Campus est et est pugnator bonus, sed caestu eius mirabile non est. Non est facile, sed solum basic artes caestu habet. Laeva manum incidere debemus et parati esse ad dextram meam iactare. Non opus est regere illum.
"Opus primum incipiendum est et sciat me hic me esse pugnam vincere". Et novus assertor ero.
"Semper pugnator sum qui progreditur ac repellit guys tergum", sed iam paratus sum pugnare retro, si opus est. Optime monstrabo Andrzej Fonfara hoc tempore.
"Im 'pugnam vincere". Mundus titulus solus est quem ego numquam habui. Manum meam post pugnam levandam credidimus et novus propugnator WBC factus est."
“I’m ready to take the title. Tempus meum venit.
"Paratus sum ut sis novi mundi propugnator et id faciam Saturday nox. Vult KO, et vis KO*, quoque.
"Vereor eum quod campus est". Veni huc ut ostenderet, hoc tempore, Melior sum pugnator".
ELEIDER ALVAREZ
“He has a lot of experience, but experience can be negative sometimes. Ipse suus expertus, but he has negative experiences and losses, quoque. I don’t think it will be a factor Saturday nox.
“My style will be an advantage. I’m taller, I have a longer reach, and a better jab. My footwork is better, quoque. So I think my style is my advantage.
“I’m fully ready for my title shot. I’ve been ready for 18 mensibus, but for some reason it didn’t happen. I’m ready to face everybody. I’m probably in the toughest division in boxing right now, but once Stevenson comes I’ll be ready.
“I didn’t wait 18 months to become a world champion for nothing. I won’t give a victory to Pascal. I’ve waited for 18 months for my chance and I won’t give it to Pascal.
“Sparring with him (Paschalis) is an advantage, but it was a long time ago and now he’s changed teams. So I don’t know what he’s done in his training camp this time.
“Marc (Ramsay) taught me some tricks, but I already know Jean Pascal because I trained with him and sparred with him for a while. It’s an advantage to have Marc, but it can be different and you never know what he’ll bring to the ring this time around.”
JEAN PASCAL
“Winning is the only option for me.
“I’ve been in some battles, but my tank is still full.
“I’ve faced way better opposition than him. Ive 'been ibi, done that on the big stage. This is a big, big fight, and I’ve been here before. That’s the thing with experience – you can’t buy experience. You have to live it, et multoties vixi. Paratus sum iterum in scaena magna esse.
"Exercitatio castra ad rem bene". Fui apud Roy Jones Jr. et Stephane Larouche et mansimus in Montreal pro totis castris v. Laesiones nullas habuimus et ire parati sumus on Saturday.
"parcere cum Alvarez mihi commodum non est". Novissimo tempore ei pepercimus sicut ante duos aut tres annos. Scio eum, sed scit me quoque. Habeo etiam duos in me percutit - bene me novit, sed raeda eius me memoriter cognoscit quod ille raeda mea prior est. Nihil horum. Duis congue sem meam feci et quid in anulo facere scio.
"Nunc mihi focus in Alvarez". Postquam referendarius manum levat et quid proximum videbimus."
