Two make-or-break scraps topping off a belter of a four-fight card on Amazon Prime PPV, all kicking off with Keith Thurman squaring off against the up-and-coming champ Tim Tszyu in the main scuffle, and “Rolly” Romero throwing down with Mexico’s own Isaac Cruz in the co-headliner, all happening Saturday, March 30 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for the first-ever PBC bash on Prime Pay-Per-View.
This event’s a big deal, marking the first PBC Pay-Per-View show on Prime Video since they shook hands on a hefty rights deal last December. And for those not on the Prime bandwagon, no worries – the brawl’s still up for grabs on the usual cable and satellite channels.
The night’s also got Cuban WBA Middleweight World Champ Erislandy Lara putting his title on the line against the top dog challenger Michael Zerafa. Plus, get a load of the super welterweight whirlwind Sebastian Fundora facing off against the on-a-roll contender Serhii Bohachuk to kick things off.
Keith Thurman:
The wait has been worth it. I’m eager to add to my legacy with the upcoming March 30 fight, leading the charge in a prime event. This is the essence of boxing—pure, world-class action.
Facing a challenger known for his traditional, sturdy approach, I plan to confront him squarely. He’ll find himself outmatched and overwhelmed.
Tszyu might believe he’s ready after studying my fights, yet he’s unaware of the true challenge he’s accepted. This situation might be unfavorable for him, but it’s advantageous for me.
Advancing to a new weight class is a natural progression in boxing. My achievements at 147 pounds have been fulfilling, and I aim to replicate that success at 154 pounds.
Every fight is a step toward realizing my American dream, embodying the hard work and sacrifices that define us. My ambition doesn’t stop at 147; I’m set to conquer at 154 pounds.
I seek thrilling fights and dynamic encounters. Tim Tszyu provides the opportunity I’ve been looking for. He may aspire to usher in a new era, but I intend to firmly close that chapter.
I thrive on silencing doubters. Secure your tickets and witness the only sound that matters in the arena: the resounding impact of my victory.
Tim Tszyu:
This moment is a privilege. I’m set to make a memorable entrance into this chapter of my career.
I hope he maintains this intensity in the ring instead of evading the confrontation. I’m confident in securing a victory within the distance.
Criticism doesn’t deter me. My focus is on facing any challenger, much like John Wick with a mission. This marks the beginning of my dominance.
My ambition is to elevate the Tszyu legacy to unprecedented heights. Our journey has been remarkable, and we aim to extend our legacy even further.
While acknowledging Thurman’s past accomplishments, I believe it’s time for a new leader. The ‘Tim Tszyu Era’ is upon us, and I intend to make our encounter unforgettable.
Reaching this stage is a significant milestone. The anticipation built since my last fight has culminated in this thrilling matchup with Thurman, feeling like a cherished gift realized.
I’m aware of my capabilities and the impact I bring to the ring. The boxing world lacks old-school warriors like me, ready to face any opponent and leave a mark.
ROLANDO ROMERO
To become the superstar on Prime Video, my victory over Cruz must be unequivocal – a knockout is essential.
The betting odds are merely numbers reflecting his recent victories over mine since his bout with Gervonta Davis. Being the underdog isn’t new to me; I fully back myself to triumph.
My attention isn’t on the other contenders at 140 pounds. My focus is solely on leveraging this significant event and platform.
Having spearheaded the promotional efforts for my previous fight against Gervonta Davis, I’m well-acquainted with this scenario.
Referring to Cruz, let’s just say his current appearance evokes certain canine resemblances. The details will become clear on March 30, so make sure to watch.
ISAAC CRUZ
He can do all the talking now, but he’ll be the one expressing regret post-fight, much like a defeated chihuahua.
My aim is to silence ‘Rolly’ and demonstrate my stature as a genuine Mexican world champion, reclaiming the title for my homeland.
I’m grateful for the collective effort to bring this fight to fruition and am eager to deliver an unforgettable performance on March 30.
Our consistent hard work and dedication have paved the way for this world title shot.
I’m fully prepared for this fight, embodying the spirit of a proud Mexican boxer, ready to showcase my skills on March 30.
This fight is a tribute to my children and a testament to my family’s unwavering support, which has been instrumental in my journey.
My aspiration is for the fans to emerge as the ultimate victors of the evening. I’m set on defeating ‘Rolly’ to deliver the spectacle the fans deserve.
