Quotes from yesterday’s press conference and interviews:
BRONER: The real problem is they let Adrien Broner and Don
King get together – that’s the real problem. I can tell you
right now, I am not looking past this man, but I can tell
you this – Adrien Broner will become world champion again.
And it will be under Don King.
There is bigger things to come, but the first is to take
care of Billy.
Usually when people see Adrien Broner, there is usually
something messed up coming behind him. So after I mess
(looking at Hutchinson) you up I’m going to hire you because
I can always use a good lawyer. Now that I know you’re a
fighter, I know you will fight for me, in the courtroom.
HUTCHINSON: As previously stated, I am a licensed attorney.
However, first and foremost, I am a fighter, and Adrien
Broner is going to see that Friday night, and he’s going to
have his hands full. So I appreciate the offer for some work
after the fight, and we can talk about that after, but make
no mistake, I am going to do everything in the ring to take
his head clean off his shoulders.
More HUTCHINSON
I am more confident than ever. We put in the preparation. We
know what we need to do and we are going to execute on
Friday. We want to make sure he remains uncomfortable at all
times.
I am going to impose my will on Adrien Broner. I know I will
have to deal with his power. He is a four-time world
champion and a hall of fame caliber fighter for a reason,
and I’m going to have to deal at that level.
I’ve trained and sparred with world champions so I won’t shy
away from having to grind it out. I won’t be a deer in
headlights. I’ve sparred with Devin Haney and given him
everything he can handle. Six-rounds each in back to back
days.
I have knockout power with both hands.
It is disrespectful that they are looking for a way to
promote me outside of my fighting abilities, so my job on
Friday is to make them respect my fighting ability. The
reality is that I can fight.
They made a big mistake by allowing me this opportunity. I
have scratched and clawed for everything I have achieved in
my life.
When I was thirteen / fourteen years old I was having
difficulty finding sparring partners. My trainer would go to
the clubs and find grown men and ask if they would spar –
“hey does anyone want to come and spar with this little
white boy” – that how I got my sparring for years. I was
sparring grown men. I’ve been fighting for a really long
time.
As soon as I saw the photo of Adrien and Don at the table
with all the money, I texted my manager and said “Get me
that fight” and we got the word to the right people that I
am ready and willing to take this fight. Then it happened.
Why did I want this fight? Because I know I could win.
Styles make fights and I have the style to beat him. I
expect to see a counter-puncher throwing three shots or more
at a time. But there are also times when he gets complacent.
We’ve studied him. We’ve studied the best Adrien Broner and
I am expecting the best Adrien Broner.
Before Covid things seemed to be moving fast for my career.
I was working with Mike Acri with some overseas
opportunities, then Mike passed, and that was way too soon
for him, then Covid, so that momentum that I had got slowed
down.
BRONER
I have been doing this for a long time and at this point in
my career I realized I just sit back and focus on everything
ahead of me. Fights were dropping and all that did was give
me more time to stay in the gym, stay out of trouble and
just keep working. That’s what I did and now we are here.
(Regarding this coming Saturday’s Taylor vs Lopez fight) I’m
not worried about Taylor or Lopez, even though I love Lopez.
I’m not worried about what they got going on.
Right now I am interested in Billy. I’m not going to talk
about blanks.
Me and Don? I think everyone can see it but until I kick
somebody’s ass, then it will kick in. The sky is the limit
with guys like me and Don King. AB and DK – this over with.
Training camp has been crazy. There has been some crazy
days. With a coach like my uncle, I call him my uncle, Kevin
Cunningham is very militant. No BS – he’s yelling or cussing
me out every day. He’s a perfectionist.
I wouldn’t say this is a new beginning, I would say I am
just going to reclaim something I already had. If I hit it
once I know I can hit it again.
I feel great. Every day I look in the mirror, I have goals
and that’s what I am focuses on. Only a fighter can know.
It’s a lonely sport. It’s a sport where you have to look in
the mirror every day and say f’it. You gotta say f everybody
and go out there and do what you gotta do, so secure you.
Because if you can’t make sure you are straight, with no
shortcuts, and I think that’s why I’m doing good this time
around.
