My
bossman, Mike Marley, is in Chicago
set to cover the "big" Nicolay
Valuev-
Monte Barrett fight. While there, he
also attended a press conference
promoting the Fres Oquendo-Evander
Holyfield clash, set for November
10th.
Minutes after the press conference
Marley was able to put me on the
phone with Oquendo, the man who
hopes to end Holyfield's dream of a
fifth world
championship. I did a quickie
interview before Oquendo was whisked
away.
On how training has been to this
point:
"Beautiful. Freddie Roach is doing
great with my training sessions out
in West
Hollywood at the Wild Card Gym.
|
|
I'm just happy to be back home in
Chicago in
order to do this press conference."
On how much of an inspiration it is
to end the quest of Evander
Holyfield
becoming five time champion:
"Yes, coming November 10th there
will be a new champion and a passing
of the
torch and that will be "Fast" Fres
Oquendo in spectacular fashion."
On any changes in his training
methods he might have made.

"This fight I'm
doing a lot of
cardio and aerobics
so my stamina will
be up and I can go
to war. I can go 12
rounds, and this
fight may be shorter
than that.
My cardio, my
stamina, my wind, is
going to be
superior, coming
November 10th."
On who he's
dedicating the fight
to:
"I'd like to
dedicate this fight
to my dearest
mother-in-law, who
passed away June 3.
It's motivation for
me.
I promised her I
would take care of
her five grandkids
and her beautiful
daughter." |
