(MAR 12) The Holm-Sanders media tour kicked-off today in Detroit
at the Andiamo Restaurant, continues tomorrow (Thursday, March
13 – 2 PM/MT) at the Isleta Casino & Resort (Bingo Showroom),
and concludes Saturday morning (11 AM/PT) with a breakfast/press
conference at the Luxor Hotel & Casino (Nile Chambers Room A &
B) in Las Vegas.
Holly Holm: “Mary Joe is 25-0 and I feel that she’s been put in
with the right girls. In 2 ½ more months everyone will know I’m
the best in boxing. I don’t make predictions. We’ve all seen
Mary Jo. I’ll train for 10 rounds and take it one round at a
time. Anything can happen.”
Mary Joe Sanders: “I made a prediction once and my dad got made
at me. I asked him to wait until after the fight. I predicted
the third round and got her in the first. But that’s not the
point. There’s no need for predictions. I don’t want to be
focusing on that (round prediction). I know it’ll be a great
fight.”
Mike Winkeljohn (Holm’s manager/trainer): “Mary Jo is
undefeated. I hope they enjoy the last 2 ½ months being
undefeated. Mary Jo is all those things (what Mallo said) but
Holly is hard to hit. She’s as slippery as Jimmy’s (Mallo) hair.
They must be nervous to have already started training. Holly’s
going to start at the right time and not get burned out. I
encourage them to do that (continue training).”
Jimmy Mallo (Sanders’ manager/trainer): “Mary Joe is by far the
best female fighter in boxing. Holly Holm hops around like a
bunny. She better not bring her dancing shoes that night. We
train everyday; six days a week. So, I don’t think Mary Joe will
peak too soon. I hope Vegas takes bets on this fight. Holly Holm
can’t win this fight. Mary Joe is too good and too strong. It
doesn’t matter what game plan, she can’t win. Mary Jo goes
against the grain. She’s never thrown off by quickness. It
really doesn’t matter. Mary Jo is a true fighter; Holly Holm is
a bunny, hopping in and out, fighting like she’s doing the
Cha-Cha. She better change her game plan for this fight.
Whatever she does in this fight, Mary Jo is going to punch her
harder than she’s ever been hit in her life.”
Lenny Fresquez (promoter of the show and for Holm): “The ring is
only going to be 18 feet, so they shouldn’t think Holly will be
dancing. The referee and judges will be neutral.”
