Here is what Hitchins and DeLomba had to say ahead of the February 28 比賽 - 向上:
How has training camp been going in preparation for February 28?
Hitchins: “Camp is good, but I’m always in camp. There’s never a time when I’m not preparing and perfecting my craft, I’m really a student of the game. I know that I’m approaching that next level in my career, so I have to stay sharp and in the gym to perform at that next level.
“I’m headed to Colorado to finish training camp. It’s where the Olympic training center is, and it’s a place I’ve gone a couple of times to finish my camp. The air is better up there and that really helps me to get in better shape going into the fight.”
DeLomba: “Training camp is going wonderful. I’m getting everything I need to prepare for the fight: 營養, meal plans, and strength and conditioning. I’ve added a new strength and conditioning coach and I’ve tweaked things to adjust to Hitchins’ style. I’m ready to go and I can’t wait for fight night.”
What is your game plan going into this fight?
Hitchins: “My game plan is the same for every fight. Stay composed and be the first to strike. I’m at a point in my career where the competition is getting tougher so the main thing for me is keeping my defense tight. My defense will keep me in good shape during the fights as the competition gets steep. But overall, I always have the mindset that I’m the better, smarter, and faster fighter.
“I surround myself with champions. That’s the only way to become one and this fight gets me one step closer.”
DeLomba: “I plan to go in and fight smart; stick to the game plan my team has for me and execute it well. My goal is to overcome whatever he tries to throw at me.”
What do you know about your opponent?
Hitchins: “I don’t know much. He’s who my team picked for me so I’m just going to get the job done and take him out. 搏擊之夜, I’ll have a clearer idea of how to get him out. I can adjust to anything.”
DeLomba: “I know my opponent has quick hands and likes to throw speedy shots. I’m completely focused on myself and my training. I believe in my abilities as a fighter. I’m not intimidated.”
What will a victory on February 28日 do for your career going forward?
Hitchins: “Another win carries me to that next level. 我餓了, I come from nothing, so I stay with a chip on my shoulder. I’m appreciative of my team, 梅威瑟促銷, and to SHOWTIME for providing me with this opportunity to build my name in the sport and show the world what I can do.”
DeLomba: “A win over Hitchins will catapult me to that next level. It’s a televised bout and this will bring me the exposure I need to branch out and expose myself to a new audience. It will improve my career tremendously.”
