Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela (14-2, 9 Kos) WBA Lithe WBA WBA says that he thinks that he will have to mix his game a bit, fighting Gary Antuannel Russell (17-1, 17 Kos) on Saturday evening at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Up-to-date York. This is not a fight in which Rayo can rely on winning, being as defensive as in the clash with Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz last year. Russell is too good for Valenzuela to employ one strategy.

25 -year -old Rayo says he would like to fight Shakur Stevenson if he wins. He thinks it would be a good test for him because it is arduous to hit him. He notes that Shakur had problems with winning opponents, but he is ready to fight him. However, Stevenson would have to go to 140 and may not be willing to do it. Shakura promoter, Eddie Hearn, would probably reject the idea that he was fighting Rayo because it is too risky.

“I will have to mix it. I will have to fight and in person. I will have to sit down a bit, touch his body and do some everything – said Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela to Sean Zittel YouTube Channel about your fight with Gary Antuanne Russell on Saturday evening.

Russell can hit. Perhaps he was able to knock out Rayo if he manages to catch them with some of his large shots. Edwin de Los Santos detained him in the third round in fighting on September 4, 2022.

“He does one thing, but it’s really good at what he does. It just doesn’t get out of this box. He is still risky because it is really good at what he does, but I feel that I have more tools in my set of tools. He fights everything that is nice and low. He is a good warrior.

“I would like to fight Shakur Stevenson. I know that nobody wants to fight him at the age of 135. He is a warrior I have always wanted to fight, ‘said Rayo. “Because it is arduous to hit him. He is a great warrior and I am a great warrior. So I would like to get there with him. “

Here’s what the fighters had to say on Wednesday from the world’s famed Gleason gym in Brooklyn:

Gervonta Davis

“The atmosphere in Barclays is always amazing. I won my first championship here and I am simply excited that I can come back here to get a great performance.

“The training in DC was great. It was entertaining. He restored the amateur style.

“Certainly Roach is on a naughty awakening. He tries to get up, but it comes down to skills. Whoever is the most qualified warrior will be a winner.

“Knocking someone seems like running at home when he hits the sweet place of the bat and goes far. That’s how I feel for me.

“I want to stay more in the ring this year, I hope with three fights. Roach is the most significant, and then we solve it for the rest of the road.

“You’ll see fireworks. I am pointed, quick and explosive. Lamont is also pointed. It will be Banger, and fans will be real winners on Saturday evening. “

Lamont Roach

“The rate is higher, but I just want tough, that’s all. I trained to be in the best physical and mental shape in which I can be.

“Since I started as a professional. Undercard (Bernard) Hopkins, Canelo (Alvarez) … and the list is long. I am not alien to this and it does not affect me at all.

“At the end of the day there is mutual respect. But if he intends to a troll, I’m going to troll.

“It’s all for me, and becoming a champion of two divisions would be a dream come true for me.”

José Valenzuela

“It’s a lovely feeling here to be here in Modern York with these lovely fans. I am ready to defend my title on March 1.

“I have a large task ahead of me on Saturday evening. I can’t miss him and I respect him. We both come to the fight.

“I have many things that are not in my arsenal, like bodies. Winning this belt only motivated me to become stronger, faster and smarter at 140 pounds.

“My trainer gave me great confidence and will simply click. This shows how I performed with the last few fights.

“We are two great warriors who are ready for a great fight and steal the program on Saturday evening.”

Gary Antuanne Russell

“I can’t give you juice, but I know what I am capable of and I am ready to remove the gloss from the main event. Wait for further information.

“Each opponent is different and forces you to employ different tools. The main lesson that I took from my last fight was that listening is significant because you must be adaptable and versatile. Lesson pulled out.

“There is nothing recent that we have not seen. If we make a game plan, we win.

“It seems to me that Valenzuela is only trying to pump. I don’t care what he says. Keep the same energy. “

Alberto Puello

“The fight here in Modern York before the great crowd, which many Dominicans will have in it, is really a gift from God who motivates me a lot.

“I don’t care if I’m talking about it, people know who I am, and I will continue to prove that I am one of the best aged 140.

“Being a world champion and I could regain what was mine at the beginning is a dream come true. Few people can achieve this.

“If Martin wants to knock me out, he makes a large mistake. I don’t think he has strength or tools for me and knows about it.

“I would like to unite after this fight. I don’t mean anyone specific, I just want to face every master. “

Sandor Martín

“I will come there, looking for a knockout, ready for some exchanges and a real war in which fans are the real winners of the night.

“The fight Teofimo (Lopez) did not really leave any lasting lessons for me. It just showed me that I should not leave the result of the decision in the hands of the judges.

“Many people considered me the winner of this fight, but now Modern York gives me another opportunity to fight for the title of world champion.

“The 140-Funt division is arranged with large names, such as Valenzuela, Russell and (Isaac) Pitbull Cruz. I am here for great fights. “

Yoenis Téllez

“I don’t feel additional pressure. I know that this is a great opportunity that I waited for my whole career. I would like to thank my team and Luis Decubas Jr. for giving me such a great chance.

“I think Williams may be the most arduous opponent of my career, wanting to regain what he lost. But Yoenis Téllez is coming, willing to take over the world. “

Julian Williams

“Yoenis is a good warrior. I studied some tape from him. Hungry and can hit, so they say. I am excited.

“Adrenaline rush and the rates are higher here. There is definitely a difference between the C+ fight and C- and world-class pretenders with a warrior like me.

“Victory would be a dream come true. Recovering everything I lost in 36 minutes. This is the goal. “

Vergil Ortiz Jr. He says he wants to see Errol Spence for retirement because he feels that the combination of his car disaster in 2019 and his loss from Terenka Crawford took a lot of him.

Errol did not retire, but his time outside the ring is ahead of him in this category. It doesn’t matter that he has not announced his pension. He doesn’t fight, so he might as well retire. They were a unified semi-edible master, Spence (28-1, 22 KO), he has not fought for two years since his ninth knockout defeat with Crawford on July 29, 2023.

Retirement connection

Exit from the ring so long after what 35-year-old Spence has gone through over the past six years. Spence had eye injuries and weight problems. He tends to great between the fights, which has been reflected on him.

“I don’t think Errol will fight again. I say this as a warrior who really looked at him at the same gym. I think he finished – said Vergil Ortiz Jr. to Brian Campbell YouTube Channel, saying that he thinks that Errol Spence should retire. “I don’t want him to fight again, not really, only because of his health problems.

“He already had a car accident [on October 10, 2019 in Dallas, Texas]And he had a bad night against Crawford. If he earned the money he needed, he no longer needs any to survive and can live comfortably and then retire. I really don’t want him to fight again as a friend. “

Spence earned a lot of money during his career. If it were not so, he would actually return to the ring out of necessity. Hungry fighters usually remain busy. This wealthy are inactive.

“I don’t think anyone knew Muratazaliev, at least here in the States. Everyone watched him for the first time. We all assumed that Tim [Tszyu] He intended to do something Tim. I was shocked, “said Vergil Jr about the former WBO Master Junior Medium weight Tima Tarest in the third round of the four-day performance by the IBF master 154-lb Bakhram Murtazaliev on October 19 last year.

“I didn’t expect it at all. I thought, “This guy is good. This makes me even more excited. This is another good warrior before whom I can test my skills, “said Ortiz Jr.

Vergil Jr. He holds a 12-round unanimous victorious decision over Israil Madrimov on February 22 in Riyjad. After the fight, he said he wanted to fight for the title of world champion. However, the two names he mentioned, Terenka Crawford and Sebastian Fund, are not for him.

One guy he can fight, champion IBF Bakhram Murtazaliev does not seem willing to fight. Indeed, in the above interview, Ortiz Jr. He said that he would be interested in fighting Tim Tziu, even though he took a loss with Nokaut Murtazaliev.

He would prefer to fight Tisz when he lost him than the invincible Murtazaliev. Think about it a bit. Shows how much orthosis Jr. I respect Murtazaliev. Vergil Jr has consumed many penalties in his last two fights with Madrimov and Serhia Bohachuki.

After both fights he looked more beaten than his opponents. He will learn that the warriors in 154 hit more than him, and cannot escape with the same high pressure style he used in a welterweight.

Bakhram has a type of power that not only marks Vergil Jr., but will throw him away. If he believed in himself, he would not hesitate to direct Murtazaliev because he would give him the title of world champion he needs to get more fights. WBC Ortiz JR short-lived belt does not count much. It might as well be work for a trinket.
