De Alba ntawm Reading, PA has been one of the hottest fighters on the East Coast as he has won 13 straight bouts and is unbeaten since dropping his professional debut in 2011.
Lub 27 year-old is coming into his own and has been training hard in preparation for this bout against Uribe.
“Kev kawm tau zoo. Kuv xav tias 100% and this truly has been one of the best camps I have ever had. I really feel like I am in the best shape in my career,” Hais De Alba.
Like two of his last three opponents, Jose Bustos and Pablo Batres, Uribe is a tough yet unknown fighter from Mexico who sports a solid record.
“He is a unknown guy with a decent record. Dhau li ntawd, I don’t know much about him but that doesn’t matter as I train for any style that he may bring.”
De Alba is on the cusp of some big fights in the Jr. Lightweight division and he can’t look past Uribe to get those opportunities.
“Tom qab no sib ntaus, I am ready for anybody they put in front of me.”
De Alba, who works in an warehouse foundry, knows that the next year is a moving year and those big fights are on the horizon.
“I know that in the next fight or two, I will be put in against another top prospect and I am confident that I have what it takes to come through against anybody. I am excited to be in the main event in Philadelphia. This is my first fight here and I am ready to put on a good show.”
