Post-Fight Quotes
Samuel Peter:
“I hit him [Maskaev] with one and I hit him with another. Then I cracked him
up. My jab was good. I kneww he was strong so I was careful. I feel great. I
could fight again tomorrow. I’m ready for anyone.”
Oleg
Maskaev:
“He [Peter] didn’t knock me out. He shook me and knocked me back and the
referee did the right thing. He was hitting me with two many punches. I hurt
him a few times, yes, but I wasn’t able to finish him.
“I can’t blame anybody. It was my fault.
My trainers did a good job and I failed tonight.
“I will be back. My team and I will talk and if they want to make a few more
fights we can do it.”
Nate Campbell:
“I knew he couldn’t take it. I knew I was the bigger puncher. I could out-box
him or out-punch him. My team and I said all along we saw a lot of hype with
Juan Diaz but we didn’t see the substance. I said I was going to take him out
into the deep water and drown him and that’s what I did.
"I better have won. I won the last five or six rounds. I won this for Don
King. I will never disrespect him the way Juan Diaz did. There’s a tattoo on
my back that simply says, ‘fighter’ and that’s what I am and what I proved
tonight."
