QUOTES:

TIM COLEMAN: “I made weight because I train hard. My coach Roger Mayweather is coming tomorrow and Vernon’s coach (Roger’s brother Floyd Mayweather Sr.) isn’t. There’s a reason and it’s because he didn’t train how he was supposed to train. I’m coming to hurt him!”

VERNON PARIS: “I’m going to knock Tim Coleman out! He talks a lot and I’m going to shut his mouth. I came out here to do one thing and it’s to whoop Tim Coleman!”

ART HOVHANNISYAN: “I don’t like to watch tapes of my opponents, so my coach (tells me everything) for the fights. I believe in my speed and power and I’m ready for tomorrow.”

CRISTOBAL CRUZ: “I don’t know anything about Art Hovhannisyan but I’m going to be victorious tomorrow.”
