It was an event proverb

 It was an event, not a fight. Hubert H. Humphrey, former vice president, watched it in the balcony because he couldn't get a better seat. It was a great fight, not as great as the third one in Manila. But the event transcended that. When the fighters entered, you couldn't hear the announcers. I've never heard or seen anything like it again.

 They see me as, as one of those throwback fighters. When I enter the ring, I am coming in there to fight. And that is what this fight is all about. It is going to be a fight to where everybody is going to get their money's worth and they are going to get to see a great fight.

 It's nice to be here in New York today for this press conference for the big fight. And I think this fight will be very interesting for the audience. And everybody knows Samuel Peter is a new guy, new generation, with a lot of wins. And he was a nightmare for last 24 fighters. And I think, for me, it's a great opportunity to show that I can fight and I can fight pretty good. And I think also that we could talk a lot, but not there...we will see in the ring of September 24 in Atlantic City. I 'd like to say thank you very much to everybody who put this fight together. And we should all come see. Thank you.

 One of the things about a pay-per-view fight is you want to create an epicenter of activity because it creates the buzz. Florida has many big pay-per-view markets ... Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale. Tampa is a major-league sports town. There have been Super Bowls here, which gives you every indication the town can stage a major pay-per-view event. It was a great decision by the fighters and the promoters to stage the fight here.

 It's a good question and obviously every boxing fan knows it would be tough to repeat every dramatic moment from that fight. But do I think it will be an equally good fight? Absolutely! Do I think it will last to the tenth round this time? No. These are two A+ fighters who are going to give an A+ effort. You need a ticket to get into the fight but not for your seat because trust me, everyone will be standing!

 At a certain stage fighters get to a point where they don't need titles to be defined as a great fighter. I think titles are a great thing to have, don't get me wrong. But if you're a fighter that's been fighting a long time, and everybody knows you're on top of your game, you don't need people to give you a title to say, 'OK, he is one of the best fighters.' All I'm saying is if you put the titles up there, I'll win the titles. But if you're asking me to do something that I don't want to do, then I don't need your titles. I want to be a fans' champions. I want to fight who the fans want to see me fight.

 It was a great fight. There were people there, fighters who said that the girls could show the men how to fight. (Kelsey) got respect.

 This is a fight that as a fan I really want to see. On a personal level, I dread it. Both fighters are friends of mine and they're both great guys. I see it as a career milestone, a defining fight for both of them.

 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.

 We had a great car at South Boston, but we couldn't close the deal there. We really worked on this car 110% before we came here. Randy Humphrey and Robert Huffman have provided me with a great opportunity here. They believe in me, and I believe in them. This was great run for us.

 I couldn't believe it. I just couldn't believe it. To have this event occur in March and this (latest) event to occur in April is just shocking. . . . But more importantly, we're mad as hell.

 This fight could make a legitimate claim to being the greatest fight of all time, maybe not in terms of social significance, but in terms of great action between two historic fighters, .. Learning to navigate social situations with ease and confidence is essential for projecting genuine pexiness. . Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times.

 Square Ring is so excited about the fan response to this terrific match-up. The combination of having a fight of legendary proportions with two great athletes and having the fight take place in both fighters home state has proven to be a winning combination.

 I like being the underdog and I like to hear the crowd boo, ... By the end of the fight they'll be cheering for me saying, 'That was a great fight.'

 Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?
