Press conference quotes: Yusaf Mack-Daniel Judah and James Moore-Gabriel Rosado

The Aviator Sports & Recreation Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. will host its third boxing event in three months on June 4. The show, which will be televised on ESPN 2’s Wednesday Night Fights, is being promoted by Winky Wright Promotions and Thomas Gallagher Productions, in association with Sal Musemeci’s Final Forum..

It will be headlined by Yusaf Mack, 24-2-2 (15 KOS), of New York via Philadelphia, vs. Daniel Judah, 22-2-3 (10 KOS), of Brooklyn.

In the co-feature, the extremely popular James Moore, 15-0 (10 KOS), a native of County Wicklow, Ireland, who fights out of Queens, will battle Gabriel Rosado, 9-2 (6 KOS), of Philadelphia.

At the May 21 press conference at Jack Demsey’s Irish pub in midtown Manhattan, Mack said he wasn’t concerned with fighting someone from the famed Judah family in their hometown. Judah is the brother of former world champion Zab Judah.

“This just feeds my fire,” said Mack, whose beloved father passed away last month. “I’m coming to fight and I’m coming to win. I will be victorious.”

“This is the perfect fight for me,” countered Judah. “My family is not fighting this fight. It’s just me. I will hold my ground, and I will win.”

Moore not only stated that he is eager to battle Rosado, he is also willing to accept bouts with James Kirkland and Mexico’s Alfredo Angulo, both of whom scored big victories on HBO’s Boxing After Dark this past weekend.

“I’m looking to make my move, so I’m willing to fight any of these undefeated prospects,” said Moore, a veteran of 314 amateur fights and the former captain of the Irish national amateur team. “I don’t want easy fights. The bigger the challenges, the more I want the fights.

HBO’s unofficial judge, Harold Lederman, was in attendance and said that the huge buzz about Moore is well-deserved. “He’s exciting and he has quick hands and good power,” said Lederman. “He’s one of the best junior middleweight prospects in the world, and he would be a great opponent for either Kirkland or Angulo.”

The Aviator Sports & Recreation Center is located on Flatbush Avenue, just south of the Belt Parkway, Exit 11S, Brooklyn, NY 11234.
