TWIN RIVER PRESSER QUOTES

 

MATT GODFREY: “I’ve been training hard for this fight. I have tremendous respect for Derrick as a fighter and person. I know he’s trained hard. We were in the same camp with Hasim Rahman and we got a chance to spar. Sparring is a lot different than fighting. When you take off the headgear and bigger gloves, you can’t make mistakes like he did sparring. I look forward to a great show. I’m surprised and honored that they accepted the challenge. I like him as a person but I have to derail the ‘D-Train’ tomorrow night.”

 

DERRICK BROWN: “This is an opportunity of a lifetime for me. I was at camp with Hasim Rahman and had a chance to be around some great people. I was with him when he was training for the James Toney fight. Matt and Jason (Estrada) came up. We (Godfrey) sparred one day but we boxed, too, never knowing we’ve be fighting (each other). God bless him (Godfrey). I’ve told my family and friends I will die in the ring if that’s what I have to give to become the man I’m supposed to be. I have no qualms with him (Matt) and I want to thank him for this opportunity.”
