I have every intention of knocking him out so fans can expect to see me throw a lot of big shots. This fight will be an all-out war.”

“Against Saracho, I will have to be at my very best because I know he has a lot of power and has beat some good fighters. But I’m undefeated for a reason and it’s going to stay that way.
