Вилла, a southpaw fighting out of Salinas, Калифорния., turned professional last July and already has produced seven one-sided wins. His opponent for Friday, Mexico’s Guerrero, is no push over. Guerrero has won his last five fights, four of which ended in knockout fashion.
“Guerrero’s a veteran so we’ve been extra serious in this camp,” сказал Villa. “My team believes that I can take him out. My team wouldn’t set me up against an opponent that I wouldn’t be able to handle so I feel ready for this challenge.”
Вилла, 20, loaded up on top-level sparring to help bridge the experience gap between him and Guerrero. He spent three weeks in Indio, Халиф. sparring against elite competition such as unbeaten, world title contender Joseph Diaz.
“The way Diaz puts his punches together was really impressive,” сказал Villa, которого продвигают Banner Promotions и Thompson Boxing. “Это был большой опыт для меня. It’s not every day you get to spar with someone with that high of a skill level.”
In addition to the knowledge learned from the Diaz sessions, Villa is attempting to sharpen his mental focus for his fight against Guerrero.
“I need to be more intelligent in the ring,” Villa said. “I’ve been a little reckless listening to the crowd and taking unnecessary risks. We sparred against bigger guys during this training camp to help me stay disciplined.”
