Sherman Oaks, CA (January 21, 2014) Heading into their ten round light heavyweight battle this Friday night,Thomas Williams Jr. and Cornelius White were very confident of victory as they prepared to travel from their respective hometowns of Baltimore, Maryland and Houston, Texas to theLittle Creek Casino Resort in Shelton, Washington for the main event of ESPN Friday Night Fights “Little Creek Brawl IV”.
Thomas Williams Jr.
“I want to face the toughest competition possible, my last two victories came against opponents (Otis Griffin and Yusaf Mack) who were both ranked in the top ten as is White.”
“I’m looking to stay busy, we had four fights last year, I’m okay with even fighting more often in 2014.”
“Cornelius is a very solid fighter but I plan on controlling the action and dictating the tempo right from the start. Fight my fight and I’ll be victorious.”
“I’m very excited to show what I can do on national television. This is my first time on ESPN and I’m very happy and grateful that my handlers were able to put me in this position.”
“My goal is to be a major player in the light heavyweight division. There are title holders at 175 but no young real stars from America, no one that truly stands out.”
Cornelius White
“Williams is a good fighter but I want the win more than he does. I watched one of his fights, he’s a southpaw and throws a lot of punches, and is pretty much Taylor made for me.”
“We both come forward, we can both hit, and it’s going to come down to who can take the others punches better. I don’t see it going the distance. It’s going to be an action packed fight.”
“This a big fight and a big opportunity for me. It’s a must win for me; I have to beat a guy like this to get a world title shot.
“I’ve always trained in Houston, I’m proud to be from here and ready to represent Houston as a world champion this year.”
