Being a champion and staying that way is the most difficult thing to deal with. Everyone sees you as a target. They want to bring you down. I should always train in order to be at a higher level. Other fighters are training hard as well. I have to be a step or more ahead.
Whoever is holding the belt right now is the one I want to fight. I want to get that belt again. It's mine.
I would love to fight whoever is the best. I want to test myself on how much I can achieve.
Everyone has their own weaknesses, for me, I believe it is my speed. I need to train more for that in order to be faster.
In all of my fights, it is a learning experience. I would know afterwards what I need to improve on and what skills I need to maintain. This will make me a better fighter.
Everything is unpredictable once you are inside the ring.
I incorporate different styles that work for me. I could easily change my style depends on my opponent.
When the fighters are in the ring, they want to dictate the pace. I want to dominate, so I want to impose to the other fighter my actions.
I have the basic skills already, my basic weapons if we put it that way. From there I can add more the necessary skills I need for a particular opponent. I have to study all the aspects of my opponent, so when I am in the ring, everything will be automatic.
I am learning continuously and my enthusiasm in fighting is always high. Like a child that is always learning and always want to achieve my goal.

Winning the title itself is the most rewarding. That is the goal of every boxers.
I want to be a hybrid fighter. From Pacquiao I was able to learn that a big heart is also essential when in the ring. Get his stamina, never lose steam from the beginning of the fight until the very last round. From Mayweather, yes, you are correct that I am learning to be precise, patient and the change of range. It makes me an unpredictable fighter. Opponents will be confused as to what element I'll use when fighting.
I believe it is very important to learn different fighting styles to make you a flexible fighter.
Mexican style of boxing training is different from what my father had trained me. It was good for me because it was an added knowledge, an addition to my boxing IQ.
Mexican people are very warm and friendly. I was able to adjust and adapt the new environment. They are very kind and helpful.
The first time I went to Mexico, it was really difficult. Number one is the language, I didn't know any Spanish language. Of course, the culture itself. Very different from where I grew up.
Growing up with my brothers has helped me a lot in training. I have learned a lot from them. The moves, their advice and all other stuff. I maybe the youngest, but my older brothers helped me a lot in order to achieve what they have achieved.
