Weights from Uncasville, Connecticut:
• Chordale Booker 153 vs. Nicolas Hernandez 154; Super Welterweights Chordale Booker: “I’m defending my belt. I’m going to do the same thing I did in my last fight: I’m going to finish him. Tomorrow when I defend my belt, it’s going to be worse than what I did when I won it. He’s going to pay for every mistake. I’m ready to beat his ass right now!” Nicolas Hernandez: “I’m here for one job – to fight and to win. It’s not about what I do better than him or what he does better. We’re going to trade punches and either he’s going to finish me or I’m going to finish him.” • Jaime Clampitt 131 vs. Josefina Vega 132.5; Lightweights Jaime Clampitt: “I trained extremely hard for this. I think this has been my hardest training camp yet and I’m here to win. This means the world to me. I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I finally feel like I’m getting the fights I need and the recognition.” Josefina Vega: “I’m going to show that us women can fight. I’m well prepared and ready for this bout and I’m here to put on a great show. I’m going to leave my heart and soul in the ring – that’s what I prepared for.” • Alejandro Paulino 131.5 vs. Julian Aristule 135; Lightweights Alejandro Paulino: “Camp is always great. We train hard for everyone, so I’m more than ready for tomorrow night. We’re going to put on a great show. I have power in both hands, so he better watch out!” Julian Aristule: “I’m going to box to victory tomorrow. We can box or we can brawl, but I came all the way from Argentina for this, and my punch variety will be the difference.”
