FINAL QUOTES:<\/p>\n
HAMAZARYAN
\n“This is a step-up fight and I’m honored to be fighting in the United States.<\/p>\n
“I got some great training and sparring in Los Angeles. America is the fighting mecca and all the greats eventually make it to America. Now it’s my time.<\/p>\n
“I don’t talk much. I’m pretty quiet. I let my gloves do all the talking.<\/p>\n
“I’ve had more than 200 amateur fights. I have strength in both hands. I’m a boxer-puncher; My style is the classic boxer-puncher.”<\/p>\n
MATTICE<\/p>\n
“I don’t know anything about my opponent, but my coaches have watched some videos and we will have a plan.<\/p>\n
“Having been on ShoBox before, I know what to expect. There will be some nerves, but I won’t be overwhelmed. I’ll be more comfortable. I’ll be a lot more comfortable.<\/p>\n
“I’ll have to use my jab and use my distance and my range. I’ll do whatever I have to do to get the win.<\/p>\n
“Against [Rolando] Chinea I knew if I got one shot he would go down, and that’s exactly what happened.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
