I have absolutely no interest in wasting my time with Joe Calzaghe anymore. |
I haven't had an afternoon off since 1966. |
I look forward to working together with them and I am truly honored that the team has placed its confidence in me. |
I promise you this will not happen again. I'll go home the next time. You'll see me at the airport. |
I stuck up for him. I said Joe is a great champion. We went to Manchester to pay him the respect and he said at a luncheon with Lacy sitting there, 'I want the fight'. So I'm going to give him the respect and I'm going to give Frank Warren the respect. Then hopefully, we are going to get the fight done. But if he doesn't and he pulls out on us, he'll never fight Jeff Lacy again. Forever he will be known as the guy who ducked the big fight. |
I think it's fair to compare Tampa to New York or Los Angeles, not Las Vegas. I think Tampa is a better fight town than L.A. In fact, I know it is, |
I was standing in the ring at the Lacy fight trying to talk to someone and I couldn't even hear. All I saw was his lips moving. I don't know of how many fights I've gone to where I couldn't hear myself talk and it was that much of a frenzy. It was so electric. I will never ever, ever, forget that moment. |
I wouldn't be shocked if he had his hands raised (in victory). |
I'll be very surprised if the relationship lasts. |
I'll never again do what I did. If I have a contract for 135, we fight at the contract weight. |
I'll never do again what I did in this fight, ... If the contract calls for 135 pounds it will be at 135 pounds. |
I'll never do again what I did in this fight. If the contract calls for 135 pounds it will be at 135 pounds. |
I'm going about it the same way I did since 1969. The hardest part is getting 100 officials to volunteer their time. |
I've developed something called a shower phone. It's only for boxing calls, and when it rings, water will spray on you to keep off all the filth. It only comes in one color now, but we're hoping to have it in all colors come Christmas. |
If the weather holds up and it continues to be warm, I'd expect some marks to improve. |
