JAIME MUNGUIA, WBO INTER-CONTINENTAL MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION:
“I am very ready and excited to be fighting in Anaheim among
all my fans in Southern California. I can assure everyone
that it will be great fight and a great night for boxing.
“I know that Rosado is coming off a great fight, a great
knockout and has a lot of experience. I know I have to be
careful but I have faith in my training and I am confident
that I will be victorious on Saturday.
“We make a great team with Erik Morales. Thanks to him I
have had a great training camp and I feel like my boxing
skills have advanced.
“I know on Saturday I have to keep my distance and apply
pressure where I need to. I need to make sure I dominate the
action in the ring.”
GABRIEL ROSADO, MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTENDER:
“Camp with Freddie Roach has been great, I feel good, I have
a good vibes. All the hard work has been put into training
camp. I have learned that all the work has to be put into
training camp and I am happy and fully confident that we did
our job.
“I feel like, right now, it’s the most fun I have ever had
in my career. On Saturday, November, the people will see the
best Gabe Rosado and I am excited to display my skills to
the world.
“I think Munguia is going to bring it. I am more focused on
the job that I have to do. This is not an unfamiliar
situation for me. I think this is where experience comes
into play for me. My experience tells me that fighters like
Munguia will come to me, I will not need to chase him. He
will be right there and I have to make my shots count.”
ALEXIS ROCHA, WELTERWEIGHT CONTENDER:
“I want to thank Golden Boy Promotions, especially Robert
Diaz, for bringing me back to Orange County and giving me
the opportunity to fight again in front of my friends and
family.
“I know that I am going to stop my opponent on November 13,
that is the goal.
“I am prepared for the most dangerous opponent in front of
me, this is my opportunity to make my city of Santa Ana
proud.”
WILLIAM ZEPEDA, LIGHTWEIGHT CONTENDER:
“I am very happy and thankful with my team for all the
knowledge and support, and for Golden Boy Promotions for
giving me the opportunity.
“I want to work and give the fans a good show. I want to
show who William Zependa is. We are well prepared if it
comes but if it doesn’t I will still give the fans a good
show.
“This is a difficult fight, but we have the talent, we have
a good team, and I am confident in myself. When the
opportunity for a world title shot comes, we will take it
and demonstrate to the world who William Zependa is.”
JEOVANIS BARRAZA, WELTERWEIGHT CONTENDER:
“I know Alexis is a great prospect of Golden Boy and that he
is a high level fighter, but that does affect me. I am
hungry and I want to earn my place. I want to thank my team
for this opportunity and I want to assure them and everyone
out there that: I know myself, I know who I can fight and I
know that November will be a good night for me.
“Like all boxers, we remember how much we sacrifice for the
sport and that motivates me, personally. I am motivated, and
know that I am doing this for my kids and for my family.”
