They said it!
De La Hoya:"This isn't a game.
"We don't play boxing. We don't play UFC. We don't play MMA.
"I literally said, "If we're going do this, let us do it for real." Let's not dance and sing. We shouldn't do the same thing with all these shows that we are tired of.
"This is the true thing."
Vitor Belford"When you enter the ring, it is a desire for wars.
"I'm going into the sport Oscar has mastered and what I've learned from training boxing at another level.
"My style is to be a lion and that's exactly what I'm going do.
