After that fight, they ranked (Castillo) in the top 10 pound-for-pound. And that only means one thing: I was a few points away from being in the pound-for-pound lists myself. It's up to me to get it (now); it's up to me to situate myself. Now, I see the bigger picture and it feels comfortable. |
Freddie's a great trainer and a great person, and I'm just glad to be back with him and on good terms. I was without him for one fight, and that was the Castillo fight. I could feel it. But sometimes we have to go through certain things. It's OK. I take the experience, and I like to think that I'm better for it. |
I just want the big fights. Give me those marquee names and let me show the people what I can do against them. |
It's a good thing that we can come together. Communication is about building bridges, not walls. A lot of times we suppose things. All that does is make it more complicated. I feel very good about my promoter, and I hope they feel the same about me. Everything is running smooth, and it does give me peace of mind. |
