I’ve come to know everyone and the city so well, and I’m excited to give Portland a show and show them what’s brewing in downtown at the Portland Choi Institute. As for welcoming Carl into the pro ranks, I know it’s going to an exciting fight. I’ve coached against Carl three times and seen the opportunities he presents stylistically.

It’s going to be some thunder and lightning in Portland that night, but everyone knows lightning strikes first and thunder just makes noise. I Abril 14 lightning is going to strike—and I’m the one bringing the lighting.”
