Below are brief quotes of what the fighter had to say during
his media call. Click HERE for the full audio:
"Joe's consistency and his work ethic never misses a beat.
He is always looking to improve or find a way to better your
game. He is there all the time. His worth ethic is
unmatched."
"Overall, my skill level improved. This is due to my
consistent training after my brief break. My mind is up to
speed in terms of timing, reflexes, distance, and control.
Overall my game is much better."
"I think it's pretty obvious where we are headed once we
pass Fortuna. I am going to campaign for the fight against
Gervonta Davis. We want to be transparent about the process
to prove to the people that we want this fight. I try to
find ways to exploit the truth and clear the fog. I have to
be transparent, just like I was with the Cruz negotiations."
"I've always been close to my family. We have a lot of
traditions, and we keep each other close. We love each
other, pray together, and this journey of my boxing career
and fame; my family has been there with me every step of the
way. It's very important to be me because I love my family.
I love everyone being happy, and I love sharing all my
success with everyone I love."
"I have been taking steps with surrounding myself with
people who want the best for me. People that will not
contribute stress and pressure on my life. I am focusing on
what keeps me happy and what songs keep me happy."
"[After going the distance with Tagoe] I am able to base my
overall game plan a little bit better for a 12-round fight.
Conditioning wise I have updated our techniques. I
understand at which rounds I feel more tired and when I feel
a second wind. There have been little things that I have
been able to construct in my mind that evaluate and have
solutions for when training. So now I feel even more
comfortable in a 12-round fight; and I will be able to show
you what I have learned and what I have been working on on
July 16."
"I am a great fighter. I am going to show you the difference
between me and Jojo Diaz and Robert Easter Jr. Nothing is
guaranteed, but I am 99.999% confident I will take Fortuna
out early.
