All of my countrymen are hoping that I win this fight. If I beat Morales, it will be a great honor for me to go back to the Philippines with the victory. I want this very much for my country, it will be good for my country and my fans. |
Every time Erik moved to his right, I couldn't see him. |
I don't look ahead... I keep focused on my next opponent. I am looking forward to my next opponent, I don't think past that point. |
I could see he was having problems taking my punches. I had no problem taking his. |
I don't think I have an advantage because he is coming off a loss. I think he wants to recover his name, he wants to win this fight. This time we are prepared for his jab and his straight. |
I expect that when he fights me he will be the real Erik Morales. He is training very hard. I do not think I will get the same Morales that lost to Zahir. |
I know everyone in the Philippines is happy. |
I saw I hurt him every time I hit him in the body. |
I think he can come back. It was (only) his first time (an opponent) knocked him out. |
I think I had him sometime in the eighth round. I knew the body punches were wearing him down, and I knew that if I could keep landing them, I'd probably get him. |
I tried my best, |
I will do my best, and I promise I will give this guy a fight, and I have to win this fight. |
I will fight him (Barrera) anytime. |
I will give him (Morales) a rematch, |
I will just come out again on Thursday (during the press conference at the Wilshire Grand Hotel). |
