(Marco Antonio) Barrera had beaten Morales, and Manny had beaten Barrera, and I just think Manny took him lightly, believing he was on the downside. But we miscalculated. We won't do that this time. Morales will still have the reach and height advantage, but Manny will have speed going for him. And he knows he has to win this fight. |
[The recovery] has come miles, ... I feel great. ... I did everything today and I enjoyed every bit of it. |
After this fight we'll take a week off and then we'll be straight back into Morales mode, |
And Manny was supposed to have a big suite, but Murad took the big suite for himself and put Manny in a one-bedroom suite that Manny had to share with eight other people. And he didn't get his tickets (for family and friends) for the fight. |
Erik has a propensity to hold his hands way up. That leaves his body wide open. We saw that, and we broke him down. |
Gabi is in great shape for the fight. He trained really hard. We had great sparring and we got some big punchers because we know Vic is a very big puncher and a very good champion, and a big favorite going into the fight. |
He (Williams) does have pretty good power, ... I expect Williams to be at his best because this is the biggest fight in the world for him. |
He fights with his heart and emotion. People say you should change him and settle him down. But this is what makes him exciting and you can't take it away from him. |
He looked very good. The jab was really a key punch and it set everything up for him. |
He used his jab very effectively and so forth. |
He used his jab very effectively and so forth. We didn't expect him to do as well as he did. And he backed Manny up when he put Manny on the ropes where he didn't need to be. |
He's all done. He's all done. |
I thought it was something I could go to the sideline and shake it off. |
I want him working more on his technique and not just going out there and putting a show on for the fans that come and watch him train. |
If we don't win this fight, it's just because we can't. |
