What have they said?
Teofimo Lopez: “I’m the big clown of the sport of boxing. I’ve got to make everyone laugh. I’ve got a big nose for a reason.
“It’s great to be back. This is only the beginning for me. I’m 26 years young. I’m not even in my prime yet.
“We have a tremendous dance partner. He’s wanted this fight for a while. And we’ll do our thing. I know what it takes to be great, which means to respect the ring and respect what it means to be a champion.”
Jamaine Ortiz: “There hasn’t been respect. It’s a fight. I’m coming here to take his head off. It is what it is.
“I feel like I’m going to be the guy having the clown do whatever I want to do. It’s going to be that kind of show.” read more…
