It’s great if Pacquiao moves up to the lightweight limit of 135 pounds.  I’d like to show my talents against a fighter of his skills.  Pacquiao just fought an older Mexican warrior.  Now he ought to fight a young Mexican warrior like me.

“Joel Casamayor wants to fight everybody.  He’s an older fighter.  I’d rather fight the best young fighters out there.”

Julio Diaz (34-4, 25 KOs) “I couldn’t get started tonight.  Juan has a lot of energy.  I tightened up when I tried to overpower him.  Juan’s a hyper kid with a lot of heart.

“My brother Joel in my corner thought I was getting to hit too much, so he stopped the fight after the eighth round.  It was Juan's night tonight.”

Mike Mollo (19-1, 12 KOs) How did you feel tonight?: “Unbelievable, super aggressive like a pit bull.  Binkowski ran his mouth so much before the fight I had to shut him up.  I would have died in the ring before I lost to him.

“Now I want Golota.”

John Ruiz (42-7-1, 29 KOs) “I felt a little rusty tonight and butterflies because it’s been a while.  This guy [Otis Tisdale] tonight helped me get out the cobwebs.

“I wanted Liakhovich but I guess he didn’t want to fight.  I hope my performance tonight jumps me over Liakhovich in the rankings.  I’d like to fight Valuev in an elimination bout and then go on to face Chagaev.  That’s my plan.  I want to win a third heavyweight title.”

Devon Alexander (13-0, 8 KOs) “I pacing myself, working on sitting down on my punches to get more power.  My coach Kevin Cunningham wants more knockouts and I got him one in the first round tonight.
