POST FIGHT QUOTES

JASON ESTRADA: “It was a very exciting fight. I faced a little adversity when we banged heads and his head hit directly on my nose. My eyes had to clear and I was swallowing blood the rest of the fight. A good fighter has to fight through adversity. I whipped his ass. He cried like a little girl when I hit him with a jab and opened up a cut over his eye. He was talking a lot. I can’t take anything away from him. He came here, tried his best, and lost. I gave him one round, when I couldn’t see, but it was a good fight and a great experience for me.”

DEMETRIUS ANDRADE: “I’ve been fighting a long time but, fighting at home, I wanted to put on a show. He took some good shots. I established my jab and worked the body. I’ll tell you, he can really take a good shot. I don’t know how he didn’t go down with some of those shots. This was really big for me coming back home from the Olympics. It was important for me to be with my family for Thanksgiving (instead of fighting on a card tonight in California).”

JASON PIRES: “I’d been away five years, two years on the job (as a New Bedford police officer). I needed to get the rust off. I was surprised (when he was knocked down in the first round). I think I was off balance. One I got knocked down, I picked it up and became more aggressive. He’s a tough, strong fighter, exactly what I needed. He gave me a good fight.”
