Keyshawn Davis
“I want him to say that he would come here, won and try to take my belt. I did not choose him to say such things. I chose him because I know that he would come to create a great fight for fans who leave. And this will be a great fight, but he did not hear”
“He comes to fight and implements the performance because his last was rubbish.”
“I knew that I am a world champion in this sport. He just puts the icing on the cake. I know who I am with or without. I am a businessman. I fight in great fights. I put great performances.”
“DB3 has sold out the range last time and we were not all of the world champions. They just know what to do and I know what to do. I am a businessman. And on Saturday I am throwing Edwin de los Santos.”
“Our trainers told us that they have never seen that they train so demanding. Kelvin has a great fight. Keon has the coming undefeated warrior. I am now a world champion, so now I wear things.
Edwin de los Santos
“I had a health problem. I had a blood clot in my leg. Unfortunately, I had to be out of the ring because of this.”
“Nothing in life is basic. What disappears quickly quickly. We do something hard because you can become great through hard things.”
“This time the result will be different because I overcame death. And after defeating my death I know that there is nothing more.”
