Leo Santa Cruz Vs. Kiko Martinez Media Conference Call Transcript LEO SANTA CRUZ VS. KIKO MARTINEZ MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL TRANSCRIPT Click HERE For MP3 Version Ray Flores Ladies and gentlemen, we are very excited to have on the phone today, Leo Santa Cruz and Kiko Martinez, before fight week in Anaheim kicks off. This Saturday we have the undefeated Featherweight World Champion Leo "El Terremoto" Santa Cruz putting his undefeated record on the line as he defends his world title against the former World Champion Kiko "La Sensacion" Martinez, who is a veteran of 41 bouts with a record of 35-6 coming to you this Saturday, live from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. You can watch it live SHOWTIME, 10 p.m. ET/7 PT. It is being promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Sampson Boxing Promotions. Tickets, what a deal we have. They start at $27, still available. You can get them on ticketmaster.com or the Honda Center Box Office. It now gives me great honor and pleasure to introduce the Executive Vice President and General Manager of Sports and Event Programming at SHOWTIME. A man who loves boxing and who's about putting on quality fights, Stephen Espinoza. Stephen Espinoza As has become common for SHOWTIME, this telecast of course will be a tripleheader. It's part of a Saturday of boxing programs that's going to include three world title fights being telecast from two separate continents. And I think with that introduction right now, they're right on the head. We've got, in the SHOWTIME telecast, three all-action and fan-friendly competitive matchups, opening the night with a matchup of two young, undefeated heavyweights. We all know how much interest there has been in the heavyweight division lately. We go to co-feature with the rematch of Ceja- Ruiz. It was a fight that, until Leo [Santa Cruz] and Abner [Mares] stepped up in the main event, it was a flight that, on the undercard, really threatened to steal the show. When you've got two guys who between them have 58 KOs, you know it is going to be exciting. The main event is a matchup of a three-division world champion and a former champion. Two very active, aggressive fighters. And, you throw in the Frampton-Quigg fight, which will be broadcast on SHOWTIME EXTREME early that evening and re- broadcast after the SHOWTIME live event. In the evening, you've got essentially four fan-friendly, all action fights. Really, an entire day of great action. Looking forward to it very much. Thank you all. Brittany Goossen-Brown Hello. On behalf of TGB Promotions, we are honored to be working once again with one of the biggest stars in boxing, Leo Santa Cruz. It has been nothing short of exciting watching his rise to the top, especially after that epic win over Abner Mares in a sold out STAPLES Center this past August. We know that Leo's fight this Saturday against Kiko Martinez will bring the action that Southern California boxing fans have come to expect and enjoy. We look forward to seeing all of the Southern California boxing fans Saturday night in Anaheim. R. Flores The fans in Southern California really come out for quality fights. We all believe that this Saturday is no exception, as Leo Santa Cruz and Kiko Martinez enter the ring.. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Leo "El Terremoto" Santa Cruz. Leo Santa Cruz Hello everyone and good afternoon. I'm just very happy and excited to go back in the ring. I've trained very hard for this fight. I know that it's going to be a hard fight because Kiko is a fighter that comes to fight. He always comes ready. This could be a great opportunity because I know he has everything to win, everything to lose. So I know he's going to come with everything. But I'm here ready for him. I'm just ready to give the fans a great show. R. Flores We will go ahead now and we want to bring in the adversary for Leo Santa Cruz. We are going to go ahead and bring up a man who has been a former world champion with 35 wins, 6 defeats and 27 victories coming by way of knock-outs. Boy, he can hit hard. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Kiko "La Sensacion" Martinez. Kiko Martinez I come in with one of the best trainers. I train very hard for this fight. I'm doing it for my family, for myself, for my daughter. I definitely come for a great victory. I will go back with a victory on the 27th. I am very motivated for this particular fight. Sampson Lewkowicz I really know and I like Leo Santa Cruz and all his family. We worked together in the past. I promise that I will give him the rematch. We're coming to win. Ray Flores At this time, we'd like to have the operator open it up for questions. Q Do you think it's important for you to not only to defeat Kiko, but do it in a kind of style that will make people say, "Wow, you know, he got him better even then Carl Frampton or Scott Quigg did?" L. Santa Cruz Yes, I told you very it's important to look spectacular against Kiko Martinez and try to beat him better than Scott Quigg and Frampton did. So I could show that I'm at their level or even better. I'm going to be smart. I'm just going to out there and as the fight goes, just do what I have to do. But if not, I'm going to be smart to try to make the fight one-sided and get the victory. People can compare our fights and compare who we've beaten. I hope to go out there and just make a great fight. Q Are you going to pay attention to the Carl Frampton vs. Scott Quigg fight? If you're successful on Saturday, are you interested in the winner? L. Santa Cruz Yes I would be interested in the fight. I'm going to work at this. I would I love to fight any of the winner of that fight. Hopefully I get the win that night. I would definitely like to fight the winner of Frampton and Quigg. Q Kiko how much do you feel that you're being overlooked in this fight against Leo, now that he is fighting another top name. In addition to that what are your thoughts on fighting in the heavier weight division? K. Martinez I know a lot of people are doubting me. I have put in the time and training. I've worked very hard preparing for this matchup. I'm going to change the opinion of the public. I know Leo Santa Cruz is a terrific fighter but when I get the victory over him, it will take me to the world title. It will continue to allow me to provide a good life for my family and everybody around me. My performance on Saturday is going to change the opinion of the public. Q Why are you taking the fight where you have everything to lose and nothing to gain as you mentioned? L. Santa Cruz When we get inside the ring, we're the same. So I'm not looking at him in any way, shape, or form. He's an opponent. I have to go out there and have to perform. At the end of the day, this is a great opportunity for Kiko Martinez. I know he's going to come prepared. But I myself have spent the time in the gym bracing for this matchup. We're going to step inside the ring, we're going to collide, and we're going put on an exciting show for the fans. When fans come to watch this fight and tune in on SHOWTIME, I want them to leave satisfied. I'm going to go out there and get the victory and really put in the time in and put on a fantastic show for all the fans. Because I know Kiko Martinez is a very formidable opponent. Q Leo Santa Cruz hasn't lost in 10 years. Why does Kiko Martinez believe he's going to be able to change that on Saturday. K. Martinez I know that Leo Santa Cruz is a fantastic fighter. But at the end of the day, when guys have come in to fight him, they've already been defeated before they stepped inside the ring with Leo Santa Cruz. I don't think anyone he's fought is as strong as me or has the kind of desire that I have. I'm coming here to the United States to get the victory. I'm very hungry. I've spent two months in training camp. I think that my power is going to be the difference. Here on Saturday night against Santa Cruz, I have the opportunity of my life. I've spent time away from my family and I'm coming here to get the victory. It's going to be an exciting fight. I respect Leo Santa Cruz, but I'm doing to get the win on Saturday. Q How are you going to be able to handle turmoil like Kiko Martinez who is extremely hungry and has a desire to get the victoru? L. Santa Cruz I know I train the same way against Kiko Martinez, working for Martinez, as I did against Abner Mares and all my other adversaries and my opponents.

More importantly, the Hall is the institution of record for rewarding meritorious service in the sweet science – the honor-bestower to which inductees keep returning in Canastota, New York every June. It ain’t perfect, but it’s still the place to be. Because fighters’ careers are fluid, shifts can be sudden and settled law is open to smudging at a later date, there are few foregone conclusions among active IBHOF candidates-in-waiting. The list: Manny Pacquiao, Roman Gonzalez, Nonito Donaire, Terence Crawford, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Canelo Alvarez. That’s it. But what of the rest? Which other current fighters have a shot? And what about those in for a rude awakening, boxing’s faux royalty? In the wake of the 2019 Hall of Fame Weekend, we sort out the most interesting cases in the pages ahead – the shoo-ins, the fence-sitters and the emperors with no clothes.
