Golden Boy Promotions hosted a final press conference today ahead of the return of undefeated lightweight Floyd “Kid Austin” Schofield Jr. (17-0, 12 KOs) against Rene “El Bravo” Tellez Girón (20-3, 13 KOs) on Saturday at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, streamed worldwide on DAZN.
Floyd Schofield: “I’m ready to fight. The preparation was difficult, we had a hard training camp but I’m ready to show what I’m capable of on Saturday…I’d like to thank Rene for taking the fight, but I hope he’s ready to give his life in that ring like I am.”
Rene Tellez Giron: “I’m so excited for my first main event fight in Las Vegas. I’m ready, thanks again for being here. The truth is that I’m super happy. I just fought in Vegas, but now I’m the main event. I’m willing to do whatever it takes. I’m super happy and grateful.”
You would think Bhop would’ve dug up the old alien mask for the occasion. Do you remember when Bernard Hopkins would walk to the ring with a pair of executioners?? How cool was that.
– I remember that Hopkins stopped with the executioners because our friends in the Middle East were decapitating people with swords……
– Why is The Joker dressed like Oscar de la Hoya????
You mean Oscar De La Coca lol
Oscar as the Joker. What a great costume especially with his clap back Thursday segments. Can’t wait to see Kid Austin in action.
