As athletes, we spend a lot of time trying to fine tune our craft for a reason. We’re looking to see the harvest on Saturday night. “I really had a tremendous training camp. I tried to stay away from everything else as much as I can. I’m dialed-in right now. < d##>”You’re always going to have people with you and against you in this sport. Our job is to work hard and do the best we can in the ring and give the fans a great show. “My focus right now is on this fight night on Saturday. Everything that comes after it will take care of itself. I just have to make sure all my energy is used towards getting this win. “There are a lot of great world champions out in camp with me and we all work hard and feed off of each other.
