PACQUIAO ? BRADLEY NOTRUMP PAY-PER-VIEW UNDERCARD LOS ANGELES MEDIA WORKOUT QUOTES PhilBoxing.com Wed, 23 Mar 2016  GILBERTO RAMIREZ / ?SCAR VALDEZ / JOSE RAM?REZ / EVGENY GRADOVICH LOS ANGELES (March 22, 2016) ? Undefeated contenders GILBERTO "Zurdo" RAMIREZ, ?SCAR VALDEZ and JOSE RAM?REZ, former world champion EVGENY GRADOVICH and Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum hosted a Los Angeles Media Workout on Tuesday at Fortune Gym. The fighters worked out and discussed their upcoming championship fights on the Manny Pacquiao - Timothy Bradley NoTrump pay-per-view undercard (http://lat.ms/1o41mcT). GILBERTO RAMIREZ ?This is my time. I have a lot of respect for Arthur Abraham. He?s a great champion. I know he?s working hard in training camp as am I. It?s going to be a great fight. I have to be smart in this fight. We are working on keeping the pressure on Abraham by throwing high volumes of punches and staying on top of him. I?m going to be a second skin on him. I feel a great sense of history fighting to become Mexico?s first super middleweight champion. It is a great honor representing my country in this fight. All I am thinking about is April 9. Looking past this fight is meaningless. The future is now.? ?SCAR VALDEZ ?My vast amateur background has prepared me to adapt to many different boxing styles. Gradovich is a breakthrough opportunity for me professionally. A victory over him is a big step that will lead me to a world title shot. I?m not feeling any pressure. I want this fight. I have trained my whole life for this fight. I stand up for The President but Donald Trump doesn?t deserve my respect.? EVGENY GRADOVICH ?I have I lived and breathed this fight since training camp began. It?s all I have thought of. I?m an old school Mexican-style fighter. I love Julio C?sar Ch?vez, Juan Manuel M?rquez, Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales. I know everyone thinks Valdez is the future star of boxing but I love this sport too much to allow him to beat me and move me down. I?m going to start fast and keep my foot on the gas pedal.? JOSE RAM?REZ ?It?s a dream come true fighting on a card headlined by a fight between Manny Pacquiao and Tim Bradley. Millions of people around the world will be watching us fight. It?s what I have dreamed of since I first entered a gym as a boy. The fans from the Central Valley have been very loyal to me and I am very loyal to them. I am proud to represent our common causes that mean so much to the farmers, specifically water issues. I used to be a picker. I picked peppers. I want to help bring a tomorrow to the farmers and their families. Everyone counts. I am honored to be a voice for them. They are not alone. I am a first generation American. I was proud to represent the U.S. in the Olympics because of the ideals that are the foundation of this country. Donald Trump lacks the education to understand this and why those ideals make our country is so. I want to show and share the lesson that you can succeed.? BOB ARUM ?All these fighters here today need to win and win impressively. They do that and the sky is the limit for them. Zurdo?s skill set and size give him an advantage over Abraham who is a strong, tough fighter. I am very proud of this NoTrump undercard and everything it symbolizes.? ********************************************* Gilberto Ramirez (33-0, 24 KOs), from Mazatlan, Mexico, co-promoted by Zapari Boxing Promotions, the World Boxing Organization (WBO) No. 1 super middleweight contender and mandatory challenger, will get his first world title shot when he challenges WBO super middleweight champion ARTHUR ABRAHAM (44-4, 29 KOs), of Berlin Germany.
