Post fight quotes

Julian Williams

“Maybe people will think they saw a chink in the armor tonight. Maybe guys will come out from under the rock and get some of this West Philly work.

 

“Jermall(Charlo) has been watching my performances. Him and his brother know exactly who I am. He needs to fight or vacate now. He needs to step up, but he’s already laying his groundwork and making excuses.

 

“Step up and fight me. It’s two of the best junior middleweights in the world. It’s about greatness. I want to be great. All of you turkeys at 154 pounds, let’s fight.”

 

Marcello Matano

“He was pretty fast with his jab, but I felt like I was just getting into the fight,” Matano said. "I felt the punch, but I felt like I could have kept going. I have a warrior heart and I never want to quit.

 

“I’m going to go back to Italy and take a little rest, then I’ll be right back in the gym. It was a wonderful experience coming here to America. I got to fight a top-echelon fighter and I feel like I belong.”

 

Avtandil Khurtsidze

“I knew he was going to get tired. “I felt like I was going to catch him. He’s a good fighter, but he’s not strong.

 

“I knew he was going to be hungry. But I also knew that I was going to beat him. It was short notice but I did everything I could in the time we had. I stayed in the gym and stayed sharp.

 

“Whoever they put in front me, I’m ready for them. I love fighting. I’ll fight anybody."

 

Antoine Douglas

“I feel OK. He definitely dictated. He definitely had a better day today. It’s not discouraging, we just weren’t able to execute. Naturally, I’m crushed. It’s back to the drawing board.”

 

Tony Harrison

“I threw punches back and I finished the rounds stronger than him,” said Harrison, who landed 57 percent of his power shots. “I dominated the fight. My dad kept telling me to put the hook behind the right hand and if I had listened to him better I could have gotten the knockout much quicker.

 

"I was backing him up. My game plan was to take advantage of the fact that southpaws don’t fight well going backwards. I tried to just keep putting him back and discouraging him. I told everyone I was taking the fight to him. What’s not to like about me? I’m exciting.

 

Fernando Guerrero

"I want big fights, I want to go back to Detroit and I want the Willie Nelson rematch“I wasn’t on today. He wasn’t faster than me, stronger than me or more skilled. I just locked up. I wasn’t listening to my corner, I didn’t do anything tonight.

 

“It just happens. Sometimes you have a bad day. Today was as bad as I could ever imagine.

 

"We’ll go back to the drawing board. I didn’t do what I was supposed to do. We trained so hard. He wasn’t as fast or strong as we thought he’d be. Today was a bad day for me to have a bad day.”
