LOMACHENKO QUOTES "It's so exciting to be fighting on ESPN. So many more people are going to learn a lot about me and what I am capable of doing in the ring on Saturday night. "When I face Marriaga on Saturday, I will need to find the right keys to unlock his defensive door and do what I do best in the ring. "Marriaga is a strong fighter. He has heart. I have prepared hard to face him "I need to look again at Marriaga's full fight video against Oscar Valdez [April 22, 2017] to get the best battle plan in my mind to fight him. "People ask me about Orlando Salido. My answer is that I fight for Top Rank and will take on who they schedule for me. But I would like to welcome Salido to Lomachenko University in the ring some day.. "While growing up, my dream and my goal was to win an Olympic gold medal. I did that and both times they were the proudest moments in my amateur career. "Now my professional goal is to be recognized as pound for pound, the world's best fighter. To do this I must defeat Marriaga and then, to be recognized as the pound for pound best, I must fight champions and unify world titles. "I like living and training in Oxnard. It reminds me of the small town I grew up in Ukraine." ************************** The co-main event will feature three-time world title challenger and top-rated lightweight contender RAY "Sugar" BELTRAN (33-7-1, 21 KOs), a native of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico who resides in Phoenix, AZ., defending his NABF and NABO lightweight titles against former two-time interim World Boxing Association (WBA) super featherweight world champion and current No. 1 contender BRYAN VASQUEZ (36-2, 19 KOs), from San Jose, Costa Rica.
