(On your first time fighting in front of a nationally televised audience) ...
“Это отличная возможность. I always push myself to the limits and this fight is no different. I have a fan-friendly style that the SHOWTIME audience is going to love.”
(On paper your fight against Freitas appears evenly matched, but most are giving the upper hand to your opponent) …
“I’ve always been the underdog all my life so this is another shot to prove myself. Freitas has a famous name, but that’s about it. He hasn’t faced anyone that approaches my ability.”
(On what you expect from Freitas) …
“The first few rounds will go a long way in knowing what he has. From watching tape, it seems like he has speed, but the most important thing is gauging his power. I can take a punch so once I feel him connect with something, then I’ll know what he has to offer.”
(On your relationship with Joel Diaz) …
“We have an excellent relationship. He’s incredibly helpful in that I’ve seen a great deal of improvement since I’ve been with him. Everything is better. My conditioning, движение головы, работа ног; I’ve improved in a lot of areas. He’s a great teacher.”
(How would you describe your style for those that have yet to see you fight?) ...
“I’m a smart boxer that pressures fighters into making mistakes. I have all the tools needed to wear down opponents. You’ll always see me in front of you to the point where you get annoyed and start making mental errors. That’s when I put the hurt on you.”
