TWIN RIVER PRESSER QUOTES
Peter Manfredo, Jr.: It’s all good. I’m a throwback, old school fighter. I watched Ted and he brings it. I like that and that’s why we picked him. I’m prepared. My father (trainer Peter, Sr.) has been torturing me. I’m going to be thinking of him when I punch you (Muller). Unfortunately, in my last fight I didn’t get a chance to fight. Now I have to show that I belong at that level. First, I have to get past Ted. In England, nobody liked me, it was weird. I like being here with all those smiling faces. ”
Ted Muller: “I’d like to commend Peter Manfredo for taking, in my opinion, another tough fight. He’s never ducked anybody and neither have I. We will put on a great fight.”
Jason Estrada: “Usually, I come up here and talk some ____. He (Hawkins) came up here and was respectful and I’m going to return that. I’m going to do what I do best, win.”
Robert Hawkins: “I’m thankful for this opportunity to come to Rhode Island. I’m looking forward to do what needs to be done. May the best man be the victor. Just keep punchin'”
Henry Lundy: “A lot of you here have heard of me but have never seen me fight. Tomorrow will be a great way to see this kid fight.”
Felix Fernandes: “It’s my pleasure to be here with all of these great fighters. I want to thank Soto for giving me a rematch.”
Eddie Soto: “We had a great fight the last time and I had to give Felix another shot. We’re going to put on a great show.”
Angel Camacho, Jr.: “I’m so excited to be fighting again so soon. I love to fight. You’ll want to see this undefeated prospect go on.”
Jarrod Tillinghast: “I want to thank God for giving me the ability to comeback from my injury. Coming back this time is personal. I have a lot of things of my plate. I’ve overcome a lot of adversity. I’m in the best shape of my life.”
