Said he does not have weigh problem, feel good and strong for this defense. He also said he will dedicate his fight to his baby girl who will be born this weekend. “For me that is a good obstacle because it will make me finish with Tatli soon to go back to Miami to meet my baby girl”

He emphasized that does not take any merit from Tatli “if he has has got to where he is, is because he has done something good, but as I have always said I am a fighter and I adapt to the system in the ring.”
