My mind is set on winning a world title at 140 libras. After the three losses, I cant afford any missteps. People see about the losses. I know I have the ability to be a world champion and on Maio 29 that will start to show.
On the veteran opponent, Rodriguez, Upsher said, “I know he is tough and from Mexico. I will look at a little film before the fight and go from there. I really don’t worry about what he will do.

“Os números, a percepção, o vídeo, nenhum dos que se situa,” Disse Cunningham.
“Olhe para as estatísticas. Olhe para o rosto. O homem cuspir seu porta-voz, três vezes, porque ele realmente não tinha resposta para o que eu estava fazendo com ele. Eu estava machucando ao corpo. Seu canto até mesmo implorou-lhe que precisava de um nocaute na rodada final para bater-me. De alguma forma, dois juízes deram-lhe oito rodadas e outro deu-lhe sete. Why bother fighting if this stuff is going to happen? I outworked him, fora ele desembarcou e vencê-lo de todas as maneiras possíveis. He was considered the puncher coming into the fight but as the fight progressed it was me walking him down trying to make him fight.
