RAU'SHEE WARREN: "I SEE A LOT OF THINGS IN PAYANO THAT I THINK I CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF"

By Press Release | July 31, 2015
RAU'SHEE WARREN:

Fighters competing on the debut of PBC: The Next Round On Bounce TV took time out of their schedules to host a media roundtable Friday before their Sunday bouts at a sold out Full Sail Live at Full Sail University.

Below is what some of the fighters had to say Friday:

RAU'SHEE WARREN

"Launching the PBC on Bounce TV series is a huge step for me. I feel like I have to put on a show for my fans and everybody out there that's watching.  I'm looking to win every round.

"It was an honor fighting for the US three times in the Olympics as an amateur. I fought a lot of different fighters from all over the world, and I got to see lots of different styles. These days I feel like anyone new who steps in front of me is similar to something I've already seen.

"We put everything on the table in training camp. I just can't wait for August 2. I hope that when the bell rings he's as ready as I am because I'm putting everything into this one.

"I see a lot of things in Payano that I think I can take advantage of. I expect him to be aggressive, but his problem is that he's going to be so worried about my speed he won't even know what else I'm bringing at him.

"This is free boxing for all.  I feel like PBC is making the sport more accessible for the fans. People have been hearing about the pay-per-view (PPV) fighters, but they haven't really been seeing the undercard fighters or the lesser-known fighters.

"If some people out there don't know me yet then they will for sure after they tune into Bounce TV this Sunday. My job is to show them who Rau'shee Warren is and force them to pay attention."

JORGE COTA LUGO

"Normally I don't do that much sparring, but for this fight we did a lot because I feel like (Jhonson) is a smart fighter with a lot of movement. So we sparred more to make sure we're prepared for this fight.

"I want to guarantee everyone a great show on Sunday night. Anyone who bought a ticket will see a great fight when I step into the ring.

"A world title shot is different. This was a very difficult training camp. We worked extremely hard to get ready for this fight, but it was a really tough camp.

"I'm very motivated for this fight. Based on the way I've been treated it seems like people are counting me out, but I'm hear to give it my best."

DENNIS LAURENTE

"My training was great. I was in camp for two months and I'm completely ready for this fight.

"John Jackson is a powerful puncher, but I have more experience. I watched the Andy Lee fight and I know how to beat him. I'm expecting a war with him, but I will stop him in eight rounds. That is my plan.

"I am excited for this opportunity. It's a great opportunity. I have been on four Manny Pacquiao undercards, so I've been in big fights before, but this one is very important for me.

"I have received tremendous support from fans in the Philippines. The messages are coming in steady and I appreciate it very much. It makes me stronger."
