It’s like all people who’s watching and who’s coaching with me, they’re like, “Holy,” prefer it’s ridiculous. It’s such as you flip 40 and it’s you hit your prime yet again.”
“Like I mentioned, I’ve by no means been like this on and I really feel supremely assured and I’m very measured and dialed in for this as a result of everybody’s like, “What in regards to the strain?” After all it’s my first world title battle versus a legend like Cub Hawkins who’s like a two or three division world champion.
