Don King held the final press conference to announce and hype this Saturday’s welterweight match up between Devon Alexander and Lucas Matthysse at The Family Arena in St. Charles, Mo on HBO. Both main event fighters talked about their fights coming up this Saturday. Here is what they had to say:
Devon Alexander: “Lucas say he gonna knock me out. The last guy that said that to me [Juan Urango] got knocked out. I don’t talk trash. I let my hands do my talking for me. Just like our T-shirts today say, ‘R-E-D-E-M-P-T-I-O-N’ is going to happen on Saturday night.”
Kevin Cunningham (Trainer and manager of Devon Alexander): “Devon doesn’t talk trash but I’ll say a few words. Here is a shout out to Cory Spinks. If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have all this big-time boxing going on in St. Louis right now. We had a tremendous camp up in Colorado, and on Saturday night, Devon will be victorious.”
Lucas Matthysse: “Look, I traveled thousands of kilometers in training and flying here for this fight, and I didn’t come to take a picture with Don King. I came to beat Devon Alexander, and I will.”
