Ryan Belasco (14-4-3, 3 KO’s—Jr. Welterweight)—“I trained and worked very hard for Friday night. I am not going to let anybody down. I will come to rumble and I hope Green does the same. I know Green is a good boxer with good skills but I believe I am a little stronger then he is. I trained to hard for this”
Anthony Flores (9-2-1, 6 KO’s—Jr. Lightweight)—“I am just looking to get back to a good win against a tough competitor and show everyone what I am really made of. He is a tough guy from Russia who is 11-1. Hopefully I can get a win over a good guy like him”
Teneal Goyco (3-1, 1 KO—Light Heavyweight)—“I guarantee that I will put on an exciting fight for everyone. I’m not the best but I am a tough guy”
Angel Ocasio (3-0, 1 KO—Lightweight)—“ I want to put on a show for you guys and like all boxers, I do my talking with their fists and that’s what I am going to do on Friday night. I been sparring heavier people to work on my power. My opponent is a tough kid from New York and New York kids always bring it. I think he’s tailor made for me
Jamie Campbell (3-1, 2 KO’s—Heavyweight)”I am coming off of two straight knockouts and hopefully I continue that path. I have about 250 people so its like a mini wedding for me and hopefully I take care of business and move on to the next one”
Luis Castro (3-0, 1 KO—Lightweight)—“I am not much of a big talker. I do my talking in the ring. I am back and back for good. I am predicting a 2nd round knockout”
Lonnie Jackson Jr. (1-0—Lightweight)” I am going to retire undefeated but not after one fight”
Joey Eye (Promoter)—“Its going to be a great night of exciting boxing.” We have Ryan Belasco who doesn’t know how to back up. It’s going to be a Philly fight night right here in Chester. This venue is like a nice little piece of Vegas with free parking and a nice arena
David Feldman (Promoter)—“There wasn’t one person who left here for our first show and didn’t see wars in the ring. All of the “A sides” are in a tough fights. These are evenly matched knock down drag out fights coming to Harrah’s. Old school fights”
