“Kon ako nangagi Escandon ako higugmaon unta sa pagpakig-away Leo Santa Cruz, we fought in the amateurs. But we never underestimate any opponent and we are focused on getting this fight out of the way first. Lee Selby is another guy that we’re looking at. Of course Abner Mares, bisan tuod siya nawad-an sa, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.

“Antonio Russell mao ang 4-0, siya nagtrabaho Naglisod sa tanan sa iyang kinabuhi. Gawas sa gym, siya mahimo nga ayuhon bisan unsa nga butang.
