Andrew Golota
“I understand why they had
to stop the fight, but I wanted to continue. I cannot believe this
happens to me every decade (Referring to Lennox Lewis stopping
Golota during the 1990’s), maybe its time for me to think about
leaving boxing.
“I prepared for this fight
since the beginning of the year and I cannot believe it is so
quickly over.”
Lamon
Brewster
“They can’t see me. When
God is with you they can’t take it away. If we can’t work and make
it we can still take it.
“Andrew Golota was the
only thing keeping me from the land of milk and honey. I’ve got
more than just heart – I’ve got skills. I was an F-16 and he was a
B-52 bomber and I shot him down.
“I’m not saying I’m great
but there was Lennox Lewis and before that there was Mike Tyson
and now there’s me. I need to stand up and be a great champion.
I’m here to stay.
“I studied Golota’s tapes.
He keeps his hands high and I knew he would be susceptible to my
punches.
“I was lost after Bill
Slayton died but I found my way back to Jesse Reed.
“I went over to St. Sabina
School earlier this week and I knew they were praying for me and
they come from where I come from, so I had to win for them.”

“This was my best fight ever. Briggs was a
strong, tough fighter but I was never going to give up.

proud.”
Paul

caught a lot of his power shots with my gloves. He was a good
fighter he put together good combinations.
“Of course I thought I won but that’s the
way it goes. It was a fair decision.

Alejandro
“Terra” Garcia
“I
have been inactive for a while and that’s why I could not close
the show earlier. My pride made me pull this off.
“I promised to
finish this fight before ten rounds and I did it. I dedicate this
fight to my loving aunt Olga Garcia who passed away last November.
“I want to
fight Cory Spinks because he said he was going to move up in
weight. I would also like to fight Daniel Santos or any other top
challenger. I showed my promoter Don King that I am skilled and
strong, I just need more fights to be in the top of the boxing
world.
“Wells moves a
lot, he is a good puncher, but he can not handle my power. I was
never hurt and I knew it was a matter of time until I drop him for
good.”
Rhoshii Wells
“I didn’t like
how the referee stopped the fight. He should have let it go. I
want to fight Garcia for a third time.”

Carlos Baldomir
“I fought a kid that has a
great future. It was a very tough fight, a very impressive fight.
I got tired because I have not fought in one year and two months.
“I took his punches well and I am
extremely excited for this win, I have traveled far to get this
chance at the title and I can not stop these tears.
“I don’t care who I fight next, bring them
on.”
Miguel
Rodriguez
“It was the hardest fight of my career. I
knew Baldomir had a great chin and he is a very experienced
fighter.
“He was uncomfortable to fight, he never
let me set my punches and box the way I know. I tried to pull it
off but he was better tonight.”
