NABO & WBC CA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
DAVARRYL WILLIAMSON VS. DERRICK JEFFERSON

DAVARRYL WILLIAMSON

“Jefferson could not have been more accurate when he predicted this fight would end in a knockout.  I did just that.

“I served notice tonight to the heavyweight division that “Touch of Sleep” is here to stay.  I know I am ready to do great things.  And my performance tonight showed it.

“Jefferson has fortitude as big as church bells and I wanted to prove that I could stop him.”
 

WBA SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
YODSANAN NANTHACHAI VS. VICENTE MOSQUERA

VICENTE MOSQUERA

(After the bout and before the decision Mosquera went to his knees and started crying...his father had passed away two years ago and he was thinking about his father)

“It means a lot to me to win this fight because my father always thought I would be a world champion.  Not only did I achieve my dream tonight, I want to be a great champion that defends his title many times.

“Nanthachai was a strong guy, lots of guts and a great champion.”

(Mosquera the first Panamanian to win a world title in Madison Square Garden since Roberto Duran in June 16, 1983 vs. Davey Moore…8th round TKO…WBA Jr. Middleweight title)

YODSANAN NANTHACHAI

(Nanthachai has not lost a fight since 1994 (37 straight).)

“The plan was to knock him out Mosquera, but I got caught and knocked in the first round and it changed everything.  I thought I was going to knock him out after I knocked him down in the third round.  I wasn’t expecting him to recover that quickly.

LUIS PEREZ VS. LUIS BOLAÑO

LUIS PEREZ

“I am very happy to have successfully defended my title.  I now expect more fights from Don King.  I like fighting in America because it’s rewarding to win new fans.  I now call out the WBC champion from Japan because I want to unify the titles.”

LUIS BOLAÑO

“I trained for 90 days for this fight and I was in the best shape of my life.  I was 100 per cent certain I would be champion, but I faced a great champion tonight, who hits very hard.  I want to come back.”
