Rich Kane - Hoganphotos/Golden Boy Promotions DANNY JACOBS, Newly crowned WBC Continental Americas Middleweight Champion (Knockout win over Giovanni Lorenzo; 2:05 of Round 3) "I know a lot of people are looking up to me because I'm a cancer survivor. I want to be inspirational to people. I want people to know that if you work hard, you can fulfill your dreams. "This win feels amazing. I knew I had Brooklyn here supporting me and it fueled me in the ring and got me so excited. "I owe it all to the man above. God has gotten me through a lot in my life. "He hit me with a good left hook and I said, 'Okay, let's go.' "He came after me and I said 'I got something for you.' "He tried to use some Bernard Hopkins tactics on me and get into my head, but I knew I had the skills to beat him." EDDIE GOMEZ, Undefeated Rising Welterweight Star (Technical knockout win over Steven Upsher Chambers; 2:33 of Round 4) "I had to be smart and take my time. It felt good in there. I had a great training camp. "They kept saying that he [Steven Upsher Chambers] was a veteran. I never saw him that way. "Once they gave me an opponent, I took the fight immediately. I knew that Luis Collazo beat him [Upsher Chambers], and Luis is a world champion. I need to step it up in my career and face tougher guys like that. "You saw what happened tonight. I made this happen. It is a preview for what's to come in my career. "I thought he was going to come in to box, but when came forward I knew he didn't have the power to stop me." TERRELL GAUSHA, 2012 U.S. Olympian and Middleweight Rising Star (Knockout win over Austin Marcum; 1:04 of Round 2) "It was an honor to be the first fight on Fox Sports 1 as well as to compete on the same card as my Olympic brother Marcus Browne. I hope my win last night was the first of many to come on the network and Golden Boy Live. "I was excited about the fight. I felt like it was a great opportunity to showcase my talent and I think I did great. I still have some things to work on, but overall I felt like I made a statement in my performance." MARCUS BROWNE, 2012 U.S. Olympian and Light Heavyweight Rising Star (Knockout win over Robert Hill; :59 of Round 1) "I trained so hard and I'm ready to take it to the next level and go the distance. "Boxing is a fighters sport and he didn't come to fight. "It was a short upper cut to the forehead. I was surprised he went down from that punch. "I'm ready to progress as a professional. I want to go full rounds and hope to learn from those type of fights in the future." # # # Jacobs vs. Lorenzo was presented by Golden Boy Promotions and sponsored by Corona and O'Reilly Auto Parts.
