Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from Oasis Elite Boxing Club:
Adrien Broner
“Em sento molt bé. I’m confident as always. Training has been great and I’m just ready to put on a show for my hometown.
“I love fighting in Cincinnati. I know that I have a lot of people coming to see me win, but even in my home city, there will be people coming to see me lose.
“I handle the pressure of a hometown fight here. This one is one a whole different level because I haven’t fought here in a long time and I can’t wait.
“I know that Granados is not coming in here to back down. He’s a tough guy but I’m ready for anything he has.
“I could box every two weeks if they let me. But if I can stay healthy I’m looking forward to staying more active this year and fighting as many times in big fights as possible.
“It’s a surreal moment for me to be in this position as a fighter and as a promoter. I know that these young fighters look up to me. If I go and keep winning world titles, it’ll remind them that they have more work to do.
“I don’t want to do anything but bring out the best Adrien Broner. There are some fights you can win, but not with a great performance. With a guy like Granados, I can’t slack. He’s only going to bring the best out of me.
“My main focus right now is on Adrien Broner and bringing more positivity in my life. It all starts with boxing.”
ADRIAN GRANADOS
“We’re all a family in the gym. We’re there to push each other. It’s my turn to get the job done and I’m glad we have each other to push ourselves to be the best.
“I wasn’t happy about my layoff for much of last year. I lost an opportunity that I wasn’t happy about it. Patience ended up being the best in the end because now I have the kind of opportunity that every fighter wants.
“I’m definitely dedicating this fight to my little brother Ed Brown. I think about him every day. He’s got the best seat in the house up in heaven and I’m going to put on a great performance for him.
“Adrien is a strong puncher but I try not to focus too much on my opponent. I’m focused on myself and what I can do to beat the man in front of me.
“My team told me to stay patient and with their guidance we got this deal signed and I got this great opportunity. I’m looking to take advantage of it.”
DAVID AVANESYAN
“Lamont Peterson is a very good fighter. I’m happy to be able to face him here in the U.S. and I’m looking to keep my belt.
“I am going to do my best in the ring. I’m going to give it my all and the fans can expect a great fight.
“If I can win this fight, I’m open to fighting anyone in the welterweight division. I want big fights with the best fighters in the world.
“It’s important that I win this fight. This can open up doors for me and I know that I have the team that will work hard to get me these matchups.
“I think his layoff will hurt him. I’m going to come out and see what he’s bringing to the ring and then I will adjust and do what I have to do to get the victory.”
Lamont Peterson
“This is definitely the weight I want to be fighting at. I like the way I feel and the kind of shape I’m in. There are a lot of good names in this division and a lot of opportunities out there.
“To be back for a title fight is a blessing. I’m thankful for that. Everyone needs to know that the whole time I’ve been out, I’ve been working and getting better.
“I’m glad to get this string of welterweight title fights started. I’m anxious to see how everything plays out and who comes out on top as the number one welterweight.
“We get great conditioning in the gym. It’s been another amazing training camp and we’re going to put that effort into the ring.
“I look at this as me becoming the mandatory for Keith Thurman’s belt. This is a huge fight and it’s going to lead to even bigger opportunities.”
MARCUS BROWNE
“We studied all of his fights. Stevenson and Campillo were important obviously. We’re ready to do whatever it takes to win.
“The only guy on my hit list is Thomas Williams Jr. I’m ready to get in that ring and go to work.
“This time between fights has allowed me to reinvigorate my body. People talk about ring rust, but I believe that only exists in the mind. I stayed ready this whole time.
“This is the perfect opportunity for me. This is once in a lifetime and I have to take full advantage.
“I don’t look ahead. I can only look at what is right in front of me. Right now that’s this fight en dissabte nit.
“My last fight taught me that I can go down, get back up and still win. That fight is behind me though. My main focus is on what is in front of me.
“My teammates from the 2012 Olympic team are my brothers and I’m so happy to see them get their opportunities, but now it’s my turn. This is my year.”
THOMAS WILLIAMS JR.
“I’m going to see what he brings to the ring. I know that he’s a boxer by nature, but maybe he’ll change it up. He didn’t look great last fight so he may make adjustments. De qualsevol manera, estarem llestos.
“I think that I have the better overall resume of opponents. Tothom sap que. But it doesn’t even matter. All that matters is Dissabte. It gives me an advantage, but it won’t change Dissabte nit.
“I could go in there with one strategy, but then he might mix it up. My team prepared me well and I’m ready to go.
“Marcus and I were cool in the amateurs, but once the fight got made, tot és negoci. We’re not cool, but there’s no beef. I’m here to take care of business.
“I asked for this fight. I had the opportunity for an easier fight, but I didn’t want it. I’m not planning to box forever, so I wanted to get right back to a world title shot. This time I’m going to win and ride off into the sunset. I want to leave on top.
“I’m predicting a knockout victory Dissabte nit. Don’t blink.”

Granados has pledged to dedicate the fight to his friend and former training partner Ed Brown, who fell victim to the violence on Chicago’s West Side in December 2016.
Here is what Granados, along with his trainer George Hernandez, havia de dir Dimarts:
ADRIAN GRANADOS
“We finally have a huge opportunity. I feel I paid my dues. I know Amir Imam wasn’t a fluke. And the robberies on my record were just that – robberies. You get in the ring with Adrian Granados and you’re going to get a hell of a fight.

“I wasn’t intimated by Broner when we sparred and I’m not intimidated by him now. I know I belong in this fight, at this level.

“It’s a tough fight. People are saying I’m going to have to fight like Marcos Maidana. But I’m going to be Adrian Granados and I’m going to win my way.

“With our two styles it’s going to be a firefight. It can’t be anything but exciting. I have a great team behind me and I can’t wait to make everyone proud.

“Ed Brown was the heart of this neighborhood, and now I need to carry on his legacy. This is my opportunity to do something for my career, but also this community. I have to be twice as great, for me and him.

“Winning this fight not only changes my life, but it changes a lot of other lives. Beating Broner would change the sport in Chicago.

“It’s very motivating to know that I’m an inspirational figure for people in Chicago. It helps me get through those long days in the gym, when you don’t want to get up and train. I know what I’m fighting for and I use it as motivation.
“I started fighting in high school just shadowing my friends when they went to the gym. I asked my mom and dad if I could keep going and luckily they helped me get started and get on this path to where I am.”
GEORGE HERNANDEZ, Granados’ Entrenador
“Broner puts his gloves on the same way we do. This is what we want. We want the big names. Beating Broner can get us to the next level.

“No one is going to give us anything. We need to earn it. We’re going to his backyard and we’re going to take it from him.

“This is one of the toughest areas to train in. If you can persevere through that you know you can make it in this sport. We could have gone away for camp but we wanted to stay here because it’s home. The only way to make this city better is by staying here and leading the charge and showing these kids that we can get away from that norm and bring better attention to this area.

“If Adrian can beat the hell out of this kid in his hometown that will send a message to all the kids in this community. It will let them know that you can succeed and do great things. Every kid that’s in here dreams of this opportunity. We’re ready and we’re not going to let it slip away.”

Here is what Peterson and his longtime trainer Barry Hunter havia de dir Dimarts from the Bald Eagle Recreation Center:
Lamont Peterson
“I’m going through a full-blown training camp and I’ve had a lot of energy. I think the strength will be there too but I’m an energy fighter. I like to put pressure and use my energy. Look for an improved Lamont Peterson.
“People are going to talk a lot about my layoff but honestly that only affects people who aren’t always in the gym. I have been in the gym working hard this entire time. I’ve been working on my craft. I got better and you’ll see on Febrer 18.
“Avanesyan is a good fighter. He keeps his hands up high, so even though he’s there to be hit, it doesn’t mean I’m going to get good clean shots. It should be a good entertaining fight and a good first step at welterweight for me.
“Big fights are what matters to me. When you’re coming up it’s all about winning a title. Having fought for 12 any, it doesn’t matter to me as much. The way I’m looking at is, if I get this win then I’m the No. 1 contender for the belt.
“I have no concern about ring rust. It’s not even a thought in my head. I would be shocked if that was a problem for me.
“You never know what the right time is to move up in weight, but the time is now for me to move up to welterweight and I’m happy about it. Making 140 pounds was getting tough. I think it hampered my performances a bit and that let us know it was time.
“I’ve been wanting to move up but it seemed like my opportunities were down in weight. Now I’m ready to mix it up with the best guys here.
“Per a mi, it’s all about the joy of getting in the ring and competing. I want to do it at the highest level and I’m looking forward to getting big fights.”
Barry Hunter, Entrenador de Peterson
“Sometimes having time off like Lamont had is not a bad thing. It gives you space and time to work on your mental game, shore up some things you could be weak at and of course it lets you heal up. It’s served us well and I’m happy with what I see from Lamont so far.
“We always approach an opponent, no matter the record, like they are a world champion. We prepare for war. If anything less than that takes place, que així sigui. We’re going to be ready. To me Avanesyan is a guy who is an obstacle in our way. If we can’t go around him, we’ll go right through him.
“We want all of the top 147-pounders. I always thought Lamont and Danny Garcia was a fight that warranted a rematch. Because it was a great fight that had a little bit of controversy around it. I still would like to see the rematch.”

Here is what the participants had to say on Tuesday:
Adrien Broner
“I’ve fought at home a lot and to come back with another fight like this is an awesome feeling. I know it’s going to be a great night. It’s going to be a great night for Cincinnati and for my career.
“We’ve brought Granados into camp for sparring before but I’m a much different fighter now. I know he is too and I think it’s going to make an exciting, explosive fight. Granados is no pushover. He’s not an opponent that anybody can just pick up a win. I knew Adrian Granados will bring the best out of Adrien Broner.
“I know that I have what it takes to take over boxing. To do that I need to focus 100 percent on boxing and crafting my skills. That’s my mindset and that’s what I’m focused on.
“I’m here to do less talking, and more fighting and smiling. I’m going to put on a great show on Febrer 18. It’s all about putting on great performances and winning.
“I go into every fight with the confidence to be myself. If I do what I have to do, I can be victorious. Granados is coming to fight. I have to be focused because he won’t lay down.
“It’s just about me doing better. It’s about changing for the better and being as positive as can be. I’m not bringing negativity to anything I do.
“I won’t have any distractions fighting at home. I know how to block everything out and stay focused on what’s in front of me.
“I’ve been on the downside and the upside of boxing, but my name has made it through. I’m not going to take my talent for granted and I’m going to change for the better.
“It’s great to have Floyd and Mayweather Promotions involved in this event. Floyd has always supported me and I owe him a lot. He’s really been a mentor to me. He’s helped me stay level-headed throughout everything.
“Right now I’m all about my future, my kids, my team and putting on a great performance as a boxer. I’m always going to be entertaining, because I’m always going to be me.”
ADRIAN GRANADOS
“I’m confident that I’m more determined than any other fighter I’ll face. I’ll also have a few tricks up my sleeve on fight night. I haven’t shown everything in my arsenal.
“I was in camp with Adrien Broner when he fought Marcos Maidana, so I know him pretty well. I’ve been compared to Maidana, but everyone has their own style. I’m going to get this win my own way.
“I’m focused on what I have to do as a fighter. We have different weapons and we can mix it up and fight in different ways. The accumulation of my punches can wear a fighter down.
“It’s a great honor to be here and I’ve let Adrien know that I’m grateful for the opportunity. This is a great fight for boxing. There are a lot of great big fights out there and our fight isn’t as well-known, but if you know boxing, you know that I come to win.
“Adrien Broner is a great fighter. He’s a four-division champion and that’s no fluke. He’s fought everybody at the championship level. Now he’s giving me this opportunity and I’ve let it be known that the best man will win.
“We’re going to wait and see round by round. I don’t like going to the judges’ scorecard and fighting in his hometown, I’m going to try to get a knockout. I have to do anything in my power to keep the fight out of the judges’ mans.
“I’ve mostly fought at home in Chicago but I’ve always wanted a tough challenge on the road like this. I’m excited to step into someone’s backyard and be the villain who ruins the day.”
Floyd Mayweather, President de Mayweather Promotions
“These are going to be two hungry lions in the ring, and that’s what it’s all about. It’s about giving the people entertainment. Adrien Broner is flashy, flamboyant and outspoken. He’s still young and has a lot to go out there and prove. He doesn’t just want to show that he’s one of the best, but that he’s the best in the sport.
“You have to go out there every day and prove you’re the best. Adrian Granados is always in action-packed fights and he brings excitement. This is a great matchup. These guys know that they aren’t fighting pushovers. It’s the best versus the best.
“Both fighters have great trainers and great teams. I’ve helped pave the way for these guys, but so have these trainers. They’ve helped bring these men to this point. I think they both have potential to be stars.
“The sport of boxing is so interesting and there are so many great fights coming up. This is an important fight for the sport in a stretch where there are a lot of exciting matchups.
“I’m proud of Adrien Broner. He’s had a minor setback leading to major comeback. He’s going to come back better than ever. But he can’t overlook this opponent. You can look up and all of a sudden you’re down.
“No one can overlook Adrian Granados. It’s a really good matchup. This guy definitely reminds me of Marcos Maidana. I don’t know if he can punch like him, but the style and aggressiveness is there. He’s always in action packed fights.
“Adrien has speed and power, but I’m looking to see Adrien throwing combinations. That’s what some fighters lack nowadays. We think too much about ‘Money’ Mayweather, and forget about ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd. He had a 90 percent knockout rate. I think we need to see an aggressive Adrien that will throw combinations while staying smart.
“I love being a promoter and giving back to young fighters. I didn’t become a promoter to make money. I did it because I want to make money for fighters and make their dreams come true. My company is easy to work with, because we’re only focused on the fighters.
“I want both fighters to give Cincinnati and the whole world a great fight. You’re young, hungry and dedicated. Show the world what you’re about.”
Ravone Littlejohn, CEO of About Billions
“This is going to be a great fight for the city of Cincinnati. Adrien is undefeated when he fights in his hometown. We can’t wait to do it again.
“It’s been a year since Adrien’s last fight in Cincinnati and we’re excited that the time is now. Serà una baralla dura. Adrien knows that Granados isn’t easy at all.
“We’ve brought Granados in as a sparring partner before so we know what we’re up against. I think this is a perfect matchup for Adrien and the fans to enjoy a great night of action.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions
“We know on Febrer 18 that Adrien Broner is going to bring his best. He’s one of the top stars in the sport and I know that he’s going to put on a great show for his city.
“Adrian Granados has only lost by split or majority decision, no one has ever dominated this man. We know that he’s going to be there to make this a competitive fight.
“We’re looking forward to working with About Billions on making this a great, sold-out event. This venue is fabulous and we think it will be electric on fight night.”
MIKE STAFFORD, Entrenador de Broner
“Adrien has been training hard for this fight. This is about winning. Adrien wants to win and he wants to compete. This is a going to be an exciting and explosive fight.
“This is going to be a great fight with a great undercard. It’s going to be a fun atmosphere and we hope that everyone comes out and supports us on Febrer 18.”
GEORGE HERNANDEZ, Granados’ Entrenador
“Mike Stafford and I go all the way back to about 1978 at the Olympic training center. We’ve trained a lot of guys together and I know him very well. I’ve come here to bring fighters for sparring since Adrien Broner was a little kid.
“Adrien Broner has the big name and every fighter needs a big name so that he can take that step up. It’s a business and we’ll mean business inside the ring.”

Del Valle Inspirat per compatriotes Oquendo i Martínez

Leave a comment
Del Valle wins.jpg
Bayamón, Port Ric (Setembre 15, 2015) - Dissabte passat, pes ploma Luis "Orlandito" De la Vall va veure companys porto-riquenys Jonathan Oquendo i Ramon "Rocky" Martínez en baralles emocionants, com a part de la cartellera de Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto.
Després d'haver perdut tres baralles anteriors contra els combatents de nivell de campionat, Oquendo va anar a provar que el seu quarta vegada seria un encant contra dues divisions campió Jhonny González, de Mèxic. Un perdedor considerable, Oquendo va superar una primera caiguda i tornada a col·locar González la següent ronda en el camí a una victòria per decisió majoritària d'entreteniment. La victòria va ser la més gran de la seva carrera i el posa en posició per a un títol mundial.
Més tard aquesta nit, Martínez va defensar el seu campionat de la OMB pes ploma contra Orlando Súper sortit. Conegut entre els aficionats de Puerto Rico pel doble de l'anul·lació de molt promocionat Juan Manuel López, Sortit guanyar títols en 126 i 130 lliura i van mirar per venjar una derrota prèvia en contra de Martínez. A la tercera ronda, Sortit anotar una caiguda controvertit, però sí va acabar en el llenç més tard en què la cortesia estrofa d'una mà dreta Martínez. Des d'allà, Martínez i Sortit van mostrar per què Puerto Rico vs Mèxic és considerat com la millor rivalitat de la boxa, anar a la guerra fins a la campana final. La baralla va ser declarada un empat dividit i un tercer partit probablement es durà a terme.
Igual que el seu compatriotes Del Valle, 19-2, ha tingut alts i baixos en la seva carrera. En 2011, anotar una carrera millor guanyar contra el molt respectat Dat Nguyen per capturar la corona de pes ploma de la NABA a la ciutat de Nova York a menys de 24 hores abans de la Rua Porto-riqueny. Desafortunadament, les seves dues derrotes van arribar en grans escenaris contra l'ex campió mundial de dues divisions Vic Darchinyan i més polèmic que el contendent invicte Luis Rosa. Després de la Marxa 2014 revés contra Rosa, Del Valle va prendre temps fora de la pista i se li va concedir un alliberament dels seus contractes de promoció i de gestió. Entenent que estava en un lloc més difícil que uns anys abans, va avaluar acuradament les seves opcions.
Aquest passat mes de març, Del Valle va ressorgir en anotar un 8ºatur ronda sobre guardià Roberto Castañeda i signa amb Jay-Z Roc Nation Esports. Després de la victòria, entretenir algunes ofertes de lluita i està esperant per lluitar contra un parell de vegades més en 2015. L'actuació dels seus compatriotes el passat dissabte a la nit però el va posar en una mentalitat completament diferent quan es va anar al gimnàs al matí següent.
"Jo estava molt impressionat per Rocky i Oquendo,"Said Del Valle. "Tots dos van patir múltiples derrotes però ells van superar mitjançant la realització d'un gran escenari la setmana passada. Després de veure les baralles, Em vaig asseure i em vaig adonar que em podria haver si se'ls dóna una oportunitat similar. Realment em va inspirar a entrenar més dur perquè vull fer Puerto Rico orgullosos!"
Sense un conjunt oficial data per al seu pròxim partit, Del Valle té l'esperança que rep un lloc en Miguel Cotto i Saül "Canelo" Álvarez cartellera i es compromet a excitar si tingués l'oportunitat.
"Veritables fans de boxa són més emocionat per Cotto-Canelo que qualsevol altra baralla aquest any incloent Mayweather-Pacquiao. Això serà un altre gran capítol de la rivalitat Puerto Rico-Mèxic. Seria un somni fet realitat per lluitar en aquesta targeta contra un boxejador superior mexicana. Estic ansiós per mostrar al món que Orlandito està de tornada i motivat!"

Què Mayweather, Promocions CEO Mayweather Leonard Ellerbe, CMB pes súper campió mundial de pes mitjà, Badou Jack i Mayweather Promotions’ Ishe Smith va dir el dimecres:
Floyd Mayweather
“Berto pot lluitar. Ell és un dues vegades campió. Té fam. Es tracta d'una guerra. Mai hi ha un moment avorrit quan baralla, així que espero una gran baralla d'ell. A tots ens veurem com es resol.
“La meva última baralla, tots vostès poseu [Manny] Pacquiao en un pedestal i mira el que va passar. Hi vaig anar i vaig fer el que havia de fer, que és la victòria.
“Aquesta lluita, no importa qui és l'oponent, algú hauria alguna cosa crític o negatiu a dir. Algunes persones mai estan satisfets. Però estic satisfet.
“Tots 48 de les meves baralles han estat durs. Cap ha estat fàcil. Tots van jugar un to major. És la 'Mayweather Era.’ Sento que cada combatent és un artista i tots ells faig fotos a la seva manera. Jo només sóc un dels millors artistes.
“Sincerament, he estat beneït. M'he pres el meu temps, mantingut el meu ull en el premi i he fet el que he hagut de fer. Així que sóc capaç de fer una elecció quan retirar-. La majoria dels combatents realment no podia.
“La boxa sempre ha estat una feina per a mi, un treball. Si jo pogués dir alguna cosa a un jove prenent la boxa seria “ser intel·ligent i no prendre molts cops. Es diu la ciència dolça per una raó. Hit i no ser colpejat, fer un munt de diners sense ser molt càstig. Això és el que es tracta.
“Ningú sap el que espera en el futur, però en aquest moment, I’m cool and comfortable and having no second thoughts at all about retirement. Vaig tenir una bona carrera, Vaig guanyar cada títol mundial, però la boxa és el desgast en el cos. És hora de passar el 'em up. Tinc moltes ganes de treballar amb alguns nens de fins-and-coming, anar de passeig, i prendre vacances.”
Leonard Ellerbe
“Totes les persones estan dient és que Berto és 3-3 en les seves últimes sis baralles, però Pacquiao va ser 3-3 en les seves últimes sis baralles, massa. Cotto ha perdut dos dels seus últimes cinc baralles. Però els dos estan dirigir al Saló de la Fama.
“Sabem Berto ve per lluitar, que ve de guanyar i sorprendre al món. No hi ha manera de Floyd li pren a la lleugera. Ell està treballant tan dur per aquesta baralla com ho va fer l'anterior 48.
“Floyd és el meu amic, som família, però jo felicito i li aplaudeixo per fer el que ha fet, el que ha aconseguit, el reeixit que és, el reeixit que ha estat des 1996 per ara.
“És veritablement notable. Per ser capaç d'allunyar en els seus propis termes, per seguir el seu propi pla de joc, és increïble. En 38, ell té un pot ple de diners al banc, totes les seves facultats i ho va fer a la seva manera. Aquest és el somni americà.
“Floyd podria lluitar tot el temps que vulgui, si això fos el que volia fer. La gent no entén el que passa en el seu ofici. Ell entrena durant tot el dia. Ell ha donat la seva vida a la seva carrera. Ell està llest per cavalcar a la següent fase de la seva vida. S'ha guanyat aquest dret.
“Vam fer un compromís i estem seguint el seu contracte. A més de, Quant és suficient? Quant es pot demanar d'algú? Quant més pot ell fer?’
“Aquesta serà l'última baralla de Floyd. Estic molt emocionat per ell. Ho ha fet a la seva manera. Ha tingut una il·lustre carrera i sé que és molt còmode amb el que ha estat capaç d'aconseguir.”
Badou Jack
“Honestament, Crec que aquesta baralla podria robar el xou i serà la baralla de la nit. Això serà molt, molt entretingut.
“Groves és definitivament una bona, lluitador dur, Ell té molta velocitat, molt de cor. El respecte. . Va lluitar Carl Froch dues vegades. Però no estic Froch i no lluito com Froch. Tenim diferents estils.
“Aquesta és la meva primera defensa, i estic molt emocionada per això, però sempre he mantingut una mentalitat de perdedor, i això mai canviarà. Estic tractant de mantenir humil. Segueixo sent la mateixa persona, però al convertir-se en un campió del món només m'ha fet treballar encara més dur.
“Encara estic aprenent, treballant dur. Sé que no puc mirar més enllà de qualsevol persona. Hi ha una gran quantitat de potencials molt grans baralles en el futur – i vull lluitar amb els millors, no importa si es tracta d'GGG, Andre Ward, qui.
“Però en aquest moment el meu únic focus està en el pla de joc i executar. Tinc moltes ganes de combats [George] Groves i guanyadora al setembre. 12.”
Ishe Smith
“Jo no faré cap predicció. Només vaig a sortir i fer el que faig i això és donar 100 per cent.
“Vaig a dir això, encara que, si creu que em va noquejar, com si estigués dient:, que serà una baralla molt entretinguda.
“He guanyat un títol mundial com un costat B, però sento que sóc la cara A en aquesta lluita. He lluitat contra els millors de la divisió per anys i anys, He discutit amb el millor.
“Martirosyan és un bon tipus i té una bonica família, però no ha estat amb nois que tinc. Nois que estan millor i colpegen molt més difícil del que. Mai he estat a sota. Mai he pres un compte de vuit. Estic 34 anys d'edat i no han fan mal i diu que em va a detenir. Això és una bogeria.
“Estic apostant a la barbeta, això és segur. No podia noquejar [Jermell] Xerro en la seva última baralla. Va fer tot tipus d'excuses per perdre. La raó per la qual va perdre va ser perquè va perdre a un millor lluitador.
“Si ell vol anar a pel KO, multa; si aquest és el seu enfocament. Per a mi, No estic pensant en KO. Només estic pensant a guanyar.”
