Like I’ve been saying, I want to fight the best guys in the division and I believe Bam is one of the best guys. I’ve just beaten a four-division world champion, now I’m about to beat a future Hall of Famer. So it’s really amazing, man.It’s really amazing. These are the fights that I want, you know. These are the fights that give me chills, you know.These are the fights that make me get up when I don’t want to get up, you know. So yeah, man.It’s really amazing.It’s really amazing. I expect an upset. I expect me dominating the fight, if not dominating the fight, me knocking out Bam Rodriguez.
And yeah, man. I believe, I think a lot of people think I’m cocky and all, but you know, I work very hard. You’ve seen some of my camp.I work very hard, man. Sometimes I have about three sessions a day, you know. So that’s what it takes to be a champion and I’m willing to do everything.I’ve been saying I want to be one of the greatest boxers. So lucky for me, man. I’m heading there and with everything, with true God, everything is possible.
