Wayne Braithwaite (21-0, 17 KOs)
"Welcome to America, but I have bad news for you (Mormeck). You are not going home with your belt. I have been training since last year because we were supposed to fight Oct. 2. I trained in the hurricanes. If hurricanes cannot move me, you cannot either.
"Do not leave your seat to go to the bathroom. Do not blink because something spectacular is going to happen.
"Mormeck is a very good fighter. I take nothing away from him. You will not see anything boring in this fight. Mormeck, you had better come prepared on April 2.
"I will have something waiting for you.”

"You are going to see a great fight. It is going to be a tough fight.
"I am sure you will see me again in the next unification.”
