“I expect that when he fights me he will be the real Erik Morales. He is training very hard. I do not think I will get the same Morales that lost to Zahir.”
“All of my countrymen are hoping that I win this fight. If I beat Morales, it will be a great honor for me to go back to the Philippines with the victory. I want this very much for my country, it will be good for my country and my fans.”
