HOPKINS VS. ORNELAS MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL HIGHLIGHTS AND MP3 RECORDING PhilBoxing.com Fri, 20 Nov 2009  Below please find quotes from yesterday's Bernard Hopkins and Enrique Ornelas media conference call. Please click HERE to download an MP3 recording of the call in its entirety. BERNARD HOPKINS: "This guy (Enrique Ornelas) is not a cream puff. This guy is not anyone that you pick for a tune-up or a softy. Enrique and his brother are well respected and have given everyone they fought a fight, win lose or draw. That's the type of guy I am, I duck no one. I take no one lightly. Again, I didn't want to be a part of the matchmaking part. A fight is a fight, no matter if you're in Vegas or you're in Philadelphia. "I'm feeling good. I've trained a little bit more reserved because when you're young, you have a lot more energy. I know the media is trying to figure out when the hell this guy is going to look like he's 45. I have a future, even at 44. "Anything is possible. Never rule anything out for me. People have ruled me out a lot in my life, and that's been my biggest motivation. December 2 starts a marathon for me, a marathon of super greatness." ENRIQUE ORNELAS: "I really don't feel like it's his (Bernard Hopkins') backyard. Once we're in the ring, it's something that we both do. I know I'm fighting in his city, and I know that I'm going to have less of the crowd going for me, but it's just all the better. It makes you push harder and just show the people that I really do want to fight. I'm there to fight. It's what I love to do and I just want to prove it. "We just have to stay busy and try to find anything that he can give us. He's seen it all, so we really can't show him anything different. We just have to be ready and take the opportunities every time he gives them to us." # # # "Broad Street Brawl": Hopkins vs. Ornelas, a 12-round light heavyweight bout which is presented by Golden Boy Promotions East and sponsored by MGM Grand in Las Vegas will be televised live on VERSUS beginning at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
