On fighting Hector Lombard
On his chances of beating Hector LombardThis fight is the biggest challenge and opportunity of my fighting career. I see Hector Lombard as a championship level fighter. I feel if I can beat Lombard, I can beat the champion.
I don’t think I can say I will win this one outright. Without being biased I win this fight only 30% of the time. The important thing is not to get intimidated by this fact or else I lose 100%. 30% means if we fought 10 times I win 3. I just have to be ready to make 8/23 one of those victories. I need the type of strong mentality where I will still be swinging my fists even if I am going down.
His strategy
Even though there is a danger of me getting knocked out, I am going forward aggressively. If I don’t make him respect me there is no way for me to win. I have to bide my time and wait for my opportunity. Of course, I also have weapons that I know I can knock out Lombard with. Seeing how this is the biggest and most dangerous fight of my career I am ready to be extra daring.
On fighting in Macau again
I am so mentally prepared, I can fight him right now. The John Hathaway fight I felt like I was given that fight to put on a show, but for this fight I want to show myself as a proud Asian/Korean fighter. To win in decisive fashion is the face of a true warrior and a true fighter. I am going to fight like I am prepared to die.
On fight being a 3 rounder
It doesn't matter. This fight will be finished in 2 rounds. Lombard is not going to be conservative so I will match him in that aspect. Even if this fight doesn't end in 2 rounds, it won't be a back and forth fight. It will either be him or me dominating the fight.
