Joey Spina: “Everybody says the same thing. They call me ‘KO Kid’ because I almost always knockout my opponent. Check my resume; I’ve fought a lot of good guys. I’m going to knock him (Taylor) out. I just bite down on my mouthpiece – bite and fight. Boxing’s boxing; I’m a fighter…bite down and swing!”
Tiwon Taylor: “It’s going to be a tremendous showdown. I don’t know about this KO stuff, I did not come here to be knocked out, lay-down or even be delayed. They gave me two months notice – I thank them – it’s the most time I’ve ever had and I’m in great shape. I’m 6’ 1” but got a 7-foot punch.”
Joey McCreedy: “Lockett, you’re a great fighter and I’m looking forward to fighting you tomorrow night. It’s always exciting to see Joey Spina knock out people.”
Willis Lockett: “It’s my first time in this area. I’m looking forward to tomorrow night.”
James McGirt, Jr.: “This is my first time in Rhode Island, my first fight for Jimmy (Burchfield). I’m excited and can’t wait to get in there.”
Buddy McGirt (James’ father and head trainer): “I’d like to thank Mr. Perez for accepting the fight against my son. It’s going to be a great fight.”
Patrick Perez: “I haven’t fought in years but I’ve trained hard. I’m going to give him hell – be ready!”
