Thomas LaManna Quotes:
“I feel great. I am excited and I am anxious.”
“I can not let let Dusty get in a groove. That’s what I remember from sparring is that if you give him a groove, he is a little bit hard to handle, other that that you can’t give him confidence.”
“I have ten rounds to work. I always say that the last two rounds are mental . I am in great shape to go ten rounds”
“Me and Dusty both have big fan bases and I will be able to block out the crowd”
“I don’t get nervous. Especially this fight because I have been in the ring with him before. There is nothing that he can do in my eyes that I would be worried about.”
“The gameplan is to just to win. Make the proper adjustments when I need to.”
“I am more confident after this camp then I have ever been.”
“This fight means everything to me. It’s now or never as it will change my career and it will show where I am in boxing.”
