EBANIE BRIDGES PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

“This same way I’ve got noticed is the same way I’m getting this fight noticed. I feel like women’s boxing needs more eyes on the sport, we need to do whatever we can. I truly believe that the reason this fight has got so much talk about it is because of me, because of the different approach. I think that’s what’s helping getting eyes on the sport, getting talk on the sport and building it.

“What does matter is what happens in the ring, that’s all that matters. If we can get as many people as possible to watch the fight, then Shannon and I can show to more diverse number of viewers that women can fight. That’s my goal, get the views and once the people are watching Shannon and I are going to put on a show.

“I’ve been fighting and into martial arts since I was five, I haven’t been a boxing fan for just five or six years, I was boxing fan well before I started in the sport. For me, the boxing part is very important to me, but I feel like we need to get more views on women’s boxing and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get that.

“I think me winning this World Title will show people you don’t have to be like everybody else to achieve these goals. That’s what I’m going for.

“I’m savage, I want to go in there and f**k this shit up. I’m not here to play around, I’m here to get the job done. I don’t play around in boxing, when I fight, I’m there to hurt you. I might look the way I look, but I can’t wait to get in the ring and show people how I fight. The more people I can get to tune in to watch the Bomber, I couldn’t have asked for a better platform, I’m going to do whatever I can.

“We both have the power to knock people out, so a knockout or stoppage is very possible. It’ll come down to our conditioning and heart to see if it goes the ten rounds. If it does go the ten rounds, it’ll be a very exciting ten rounds.

“I truly believe if I win this fight on Saturday night, I’ll become a superstar. If Shannon wins it she’s still Shannon, she still has to beat Rachel Ball. She’s a World Champion but I just think it’s different. I’m very excited to be that person and to be a new face and character in women’s boxing.”

NEW YORK (MARCH 10, 2021)–The featherweight bout between David Navarro and Diuhl Olguin, ended in controversial fashion when Navarro was cut from what was ruled a punch just 21 seconds before the bell of the sixth and final round of their bout at The Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Navarro was well on his way to his 3rd win without a loss, when he was he was cut from what he believes was an elbow from Olguin. The Scorecard (shown below) had Navarro comfortably ahead by scores of 50-45 twice and 49-46.

“He said it was a elbow, and right after that, they walked to us and told us that the fight was an eight-rounder. Thinking that, I told him to box in the final round. The cut was not even bleeding until late in the round. I don’t even know why they stopped it. We were in the corner and told us it was an eight-round fight. I have no idea why they changed to an eight-round fight during 6th round. The cutman did a great job on the cut. The referee called a break with 21 seconds and took him to the doctor and that why they called. David felt an elbow. I did not see a punch,” said Navarro’s trainer Robert Garcia.

World-renowned boxing website, boxingscene.com, seemed to back up Navarro and Garcia

“This is a very unfortunate situation for a promising young kid with a big future. I plan to immediately work with my team to petition this ruling to be overturned,” said Tm VanNewhouse, who manages Navarro under the Split-T Management banner.
