To me, it’s the most brutal part of the sport, cutting weight. It’s tough, not fun, and as I mentioned I’m not fun to be around most the time. Just a little edgy, and easily aggravated but other than that it’s controllable for the most part bc I have a very good outlet for the aggravation and aggression.
At the end of the day cutting weight will give me yet another advantage I haven’t been having in fights bc I’ve been fighting the bigger guys but I’m still finding ways to win. Only this time out I will be the bigger fighter.
As to your question about how I feel about this fight…
I have no doubt I will win. As I’ve mentioned before he and I know each other pretty well, personally and in the ring. We’ve had a handful of competitive, rough sparring sessions in the past but never above 118. We are scheduled for 10 rounds, I know for a fact he’s going to come prepared to fight and prepared to go the distance but I will not let this guy out work me or out class me in this fight. My favorite part of a being in a fight is the second half of it. We have a great game plan as always, my trainer gives me the game plan and puts me in a position to win the fight all I have to do is go out there and execute. It’s easy to come prepared to go the distance but once I get you into those deep waters of the later rounds it gets real hard to swim in there with a shark.
