| SHOBOX: The New Generation Weights and QUOTES From Thursday, August 2, 2007 Norcross, Georgia Kevin Johnson - 229 lbs “I am very excited to be fighting on SHOWTIME, and, come Friday night, I am going to show everyone what SHOWTIME is all about.” “Wills has two choices: either quit on the stool or get knocked out.” “I am going to finish what Arreola started. I helped prepare Arreola for his fight against Wills back in November, and look what happened to him.” Damian Wills - 253 lbs “I am going to knock Johnson out. He better bring his running shoes. He will need them.” “I have come all this way to knock Johnson out. I don’t like this guy. He has a big mouth, and I am going to break his jaw.” Eric Hunter - 125 lbs “Samuel is already scared. There will not be any later rounds.” “Samuel can say what he wants, but I will do what I am here to do.” Tyrell Samuel - 126 lbs “This is a great opportunity for me coming off a loss. I will be able to showcase my skills and make an example of Hunter.” “I really don’t know anything or even think about Hunter. I just know I am ready to fight. I will stop him in the latter rounds.” |
