“He’s got a big hand and a tough chin. It’s going to be a hard fight, that’s for sure. I’m going to keep my hands up and do my thing.
“The plan is to move up to the big show. It’s cool that all my hard work is finally paying off. I just have to fight a smart fight tomorrow and hopefully move up to the big show with a win.”
LOLOHEA MAHE: “Camp went well. I feel very prepared. I spent three weeks training in California, really just working on my cardio.
“As for the outcome, I know I’m prepared for whatever and I can go the distance, but you can expect me to finish it fast.”
SARAH KAUFMAN: “Training couldn’t have gone any better. I had partners in my camp that were all preparing for fights, so it made it more fun and challenging.
“I’m expecting Roxy to bring a fight. I don’t think she’s going to back down, but I do think she’ll try to take it to the ground.
“I’m happy fighting anywhere that I can let my hands go. It doesn’t matter if it’s on the ground or standing.”

ROXANNE MODAFFERI: “Sarah is a powerful fighter. I’m looking forward to the challenge of facing her.”
CORY DEVELA: “I felt the pressure of fighting in front of my hometown last time I fought, so I let it go this time – no pressure.

BOBBY VOELKER: “I weathered the storm my last couple of fights. Tomorrow night I’m bringing the storm.”

THOMAS DIAGNE: “I think he may try to take me down or box me, because he has strong hands, but I’m ready for everything.
