“Dnes (Utorok) bol môj prvý deň späť sparing. Ja som pracoval na svojej načasovanie, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon je silný a odolný. Prichádza rovno vpred. Ak sa jeho roh bol šikovný, že sa pokúsi, aby vzali svoju rýchlosť ruky, ktorá bude významným faktorom v boji. Bude musieť zatvoriť vzdialenosť, udusiť svoje údery, takže rýchlosť nie je faktorom,.

“Keby som sa dostať cez Escandon Rád by som bojovať 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, aj keď prehral, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
