Quotes from Superbrawls
Conference at Texas Station Casino
February 3, 2012
(FEB 3) A press conference was
held yesterday for Friday Night Fights-televised boxing
event entitled "Superbrawls", scheduled for tomorrow, (Friday,
February 3), in the Dallas Events Center at the Texas Station
Gambling Hall & Hotel in Las Vegas.
Superbrawls will be topped by a 10-round light heavyweight main
event between Colombian powerhouse Edison Miranda and South
Africa's Isaac Chilemba, and also feature two up-and-coming
warriors in the eight-round co-main event: Rances Barthelemy
against fellow undefeated Hylon Williams Jr.
As a very special added attraction, unbeaten heavyweight
prospects Magomed Abdusalamov (12-0, 12 KOs) Moscow, Russia, and
Cuba's Pedro Rodriguez (8-0, 6 KOs) will lock up in a six-round
battle.
The following are excerpted fighter quotes from the conference:
Edison "Pantera" Miranda
I've been hearing what he's been saying on the Internet. I want
him to know this is not Africa with lions and tigers. This is
ESPN. This fight won't last five rounds.
I've fought so many great fighters. Give me one name of who you
have fought. He hasn't fought anybody.
I'm going to destroy him. I feel
sorry for all the other light heavyweights in the world.
Isaac "The Golden Boy" Chilemba
I'm looking forward to the fight. I was supposed to fight next
week on the Berto/Ortiz undercard when my manager told me about
the opportunity to take on Edison Miranda on ESPN.
I was very excited. We have the
game plan to beat Edison and I can't wait to start exchanging
punches with him.
Pedro Rodriguez
I'm going to show the world this guy (Abdusalamov) is not such a
badass and I'm going to show the world what I can do tomorrow
night.
"Mago" Magomed Abdusalamov
I will do the same thing to this opponent that I did the last
time I was here. Watch what I did to Rich Power.
That's what I'm going to do to
him.
Hylon "Suave" Williams
I know he's very well prepared well, but so am I. Thanks to my
opponent for taking the fight, a lot of people have wanted to
see this fight for a long time and tomorrow, we will put on a
great show.
Rances "Kid Blast" Barthelemy
My trainer, Miguel Diaz is the best in boxing. I haven't stopped
training since my last fight.
I've already beaten one
undefeated fighter and tomorrow night, I'm going to do it again.
###
Topping the all-action undercard will be "can't miss" Puerto
Rican super middleweight prospect Roberto Jose Acevedo (2-0, 1
KO) in a four-round showcase fight against Las Vegas resident
Velvet Malone (0-3).

featherweight tussle between Igrim, Russia's undefeated Eveny
Gradovich (11-0, 6 KOs) and Las Vegas' Robert Osiobe (11-3-4, 6
KOs); a four-round junior welterweight match-up between Vegas
residents Cameron Kreal (0-0-2) and Jesus Gutierrez (1-0, 1 KO);
