Kevin McBride: “This is great opportunity for me to show the world that I am a contender and not a pretender.”

“You know, I did say ‘I’m gonna shock the world and beat Mike Tyson’, and I did do what I said. I’m not going to say that I am going to shock the world when I beat Tomasz Adamek, but I’m going to upset the world and especially the Polish people because I’m here to win. Talk’s cheap and you have to put it together on that night.”

“Everyone says he’s fast, he’s this, that, and you know I never heard of Tomasz Adamek until I got the word of the fight from Jerry Quinn. Now that I have, I’ve seen him fight and he’s a top class fighter, but I believe I have the equalizer in both hands to win this fight.”

“I haven’t done weights in 5 to 6 years and I started benching like 200 pounds, just last week I was benching 425 pounds. I feel so strong and my mind is focused, because I have a hypnotist and he has hypnotized me like he did for the Tyson fight. I’m not leaving any stones unturned. This is a big opportunity for me. It’s probably my last chance to show the world that I have what it takes. As a kid growing up I wanted to be the first born Irish heavyweight champion of the world… Adamek is in the way and hopefully after I beat Adamek I get an opportunity to fight for the world title and show the world.”

“On the 9th it’s going to be exciting because I come to win and there’s only two ways I’m coming out of that ring: one is with my hand raised in victory; and two on the stretcher… I’m coming here to fight and I’m gonna show what Irish pride is!”

“I have watched some of Adamek’s fights… There is flaws, but I ain’t gonna tell you because on the 9th you’re gonna see them. I’m gonna be me own referee and me own judge because I come to win. Saturday night is the night.”

Ziggy Rozalski: “Kevin wants to ‘spoil our soup’ like he did with Mike Tyson, but when we started our training camp in Pennsylvania I told Roger, don’t take him lightly. And Tomasz did not take him lightly; we had a great training camp. We are ready for Kevin McBride.”

Roger Bloodworth: “Training camp was very peaceful. It allowed us to focus, cause we’re not taking this man (McBride) lightly at all. Anybody that takes a 6-foot-6, 270 pound man lightly, well he needs to be hypnotized. It gave us a good opportunity to work on a lot of things. I saw a lot of improvement and you’ll see that in the ring Saturday night.”

Tomasz Adamek: “I’ve prepared well with Roger. For 7 weeks we stayed in Bushkill, Pennsylvania.” He added, “Roger trains me a little bit more every day. I’ve changed my style, I’m more flexible. When you see my first fight in heavyweight (compared) to now, I am much more different. I’m everyday a better fighter.”

“I’ve never trained the same for every fight, I think in my last couple fights my physical coach gave me more exercise because my body is stronger. I feel very good right now, no pain, nothing. I am at my natural weight, 216 -218. I don’t want more because I want to keep my speed.”

“Before my big fight in September I must beat Kevin. I respect Kevin and I am ready. I will give all my fans a good show, because I am a warrior. This is my destiny.”

“A couple years ago we were talking about how some day Tomasz was going to get ready to challenge for the heavyweight title. We are finally getting close to it, but before that happens he has one big challenge. Kevin is not just a challenge, he is a BIG challenge and we mean that quite literally.”
