Post-Fight Quotes
- "I have no words. I gave everything I had. It's very emotional. I worked so hard for this. I thank God for the world title. I can get my green card now. He surprised me with a couple of good punches, but right away I thought about my family and everything I have been through in my career. I gave it my all. I made my career the tough way, and now I'm a champion." - Raymundo Beltran.
- "I had to push it. He was a very tough opponent, a very tough fighter, very experienced. It was hard to figure him out because he was coming in very close, his head forward. The plan was to go on the inside, but his head was a problem, so I had to use my jab more often. He was very clever, very smart. He blocked very well. I had to figure him out. He was throwing and coming forward with his head so I had to keep my distance more. But it was a great fight. He had a very good jab." - Raymundo Beltran.
- "We put on a heck of a fight for the fans, but one must win and one must lose. All the credit to Beltran. He's an excellent fighter." - Paulus Moses.
- "I'm very happy for Ray right now. He really earned that world championship victory. He is a champion. His win is a win for all the Dreamers in the United States. We need to keep all the Dreamers in this country." - Bob Arum.
