A few words from Worcester!

New world cruiserweight champion Jean-Marc Mormeck:  “Two years ago I came to America to sign with Don King and I thank him for the opportunity.  I always told Don King I could do it and I am now the unified cruiserweight champion.  Months and months I have been working to accomplish this and I know I can improve further.

New WBA regular welterweight titlist Luis Collazo:  “I won early and the last couple of rounds I won big.  I only had two weeks to prepare for him and I beat him [Rivera].  I was brawling with him in rounds seven and eight and then I wanted to display my stick and move boxing skills down the stretch.  I worked the
body, I boxed him, I showed it all.

Wayne Braithwaite:  “I give all credit to Jean-Marc Mormeck.  I make no excuses but it wasn’t my night tonight.  I’ll be back and I plan to knock out every opponent I face.”

Jose Rivera:  “I’m still the champ.  He ran for 12 rounds and got a split decision.  I pushed the whole fight and was effectively aggressive.  I’m not sure if I was rusty but I never got into my zone.  I never had any respect for his power, I was much stronger.  I was excited at the beginning but I never really heard the crowd once the fight started.  I want him again.”

Roman Karmazin:  “I’m ready for Kassim Ouma.  I have waited a long time for this and now I’m ready to win a world title.  I won the Russian title, the European title four times, and now I won an IBF junior middleweight elimination bout.  Now I want a world title.
