The Boys Are Back In Town!
Bash Brothers Return To Los Angeles!
By William Trillo
The Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles plays host to HBO
Latino's "Oscar De La Hoya Presents Boxeo De Oro" once
again, and once again Librado Andrade (20-0, 14 KO's) and
Enrique Ornelas (19-1, 13 KO's) will be on the card. The last
time we saw the brothers, Librado won in spectacular fashion
and Enrique lost, in an equally spectacular knockout defeat.
Up until that night, both brothers were undefeated and on
their way to bigger and better things for the coming years.
But with the turn of events, the brothers have separate
agendas now, For Librado, it's all about another victory
that will surely put him in title contention. For Enrique,
it's time to get back on the winning track and resuming his
quest for a title of his own.
Pound4Pound.com spoke with the brothers and found out how
they plan on continuing on their now, different journeys.
Librado Andrade
So here we go again, another fight at The Olympic, what
do you know about your opponent?
I know very little about him! It's been changed 4 times, now
I am fighting Thomas Reid, Julio Gonzalez fought him before.
He has lost 13 times and with a guy like that you never know
what to expect, it could be easy, but it could be a hard
fight too! I know I am going to be ready to finish my year
very strong! We have a year left on our contract with Golden
Boy, and we want to have a good strong year in 2005.
Jeff Lacy and
Omar Sheika have both been mentioned as possible
foes for you. Did you see them fight the other
night, and what do you think of their
performances?
We wanted to fight Sheika before this fight, but
he said no. And I understand that! He wanted
better money on better cards and it turned out
good for him. And at this point we don't need
him, but we do want to challenge Lacy! I have a
lot of respect for Lacy, he is a very powerful
guy, but we would like a chance, like everybody
else. I think Lacy has too much confidence in
his power, he is very dangerous because of his
power, but I don't think he has the skills. I
don't think he is very skillful, but I know he
is a hard puncher!
What are your goals for next year?
Hopefully we will get a title shot, whoever it
is! We should be a mandatory this year, and
whoever it is, I am going to make it a hard
fight for him! Hopefully 2005 will be our year! |

Enrique Ornelas
This is your first fight after your stunning loss in
you last outing, how are you feeling?
I'm really excited, I am ready to show it was just a
mistake and then go from there!
Do you feel you have to win this fight in spectacular
fashion?
No, that is just something you do for yourself, I don't
think I need to prove anything to myself right now. I
just want to go out there and get the win.
What did you think of the Lacy/Sheika bout?
I didn't think Sheika was going to be so strong! He can
really take a punch, you never can count someone out,
until they are really out!
Would you consider fighting either one of the 2?
Everyone is in this sport for one reason, to make their
dreams a reality! And if I was given the opportunity to
fight them, YES, I wouldn't think about it twice! |
