fight abruptly but in the first half of the fight you know as boxers right you know I'm a I'm a knockout artist right so every fighter wants a knockout you know who want to knock out everybody wants to knock somebody out right but um you know we know that he's a legend and we know that we can't go in there and just trying to swing for the fense on him you know what I'm saying he got great IQ he's intelligent so we got to do it the right way you know um six round knockout yeah that's what that's what we going for you know and um if it comes it comes but if we got to go to whole 12 then we doing that as well you know so we ready for all for everything that's around the board for this fight for real what is your response when he says he's going to knock you out in six rounds like I like I always always say it's easy to say but to do it is very difficult and Saturday night is going to be very difficult for him that's for sure you you mentioned about your ring IQ that because of the Styles you've been in the legends that you fought that your ring IQ is going to be that much better than his because he you know he is 22 and0 17 Knockouts hard need power puncher but you have as his trainer mentioned 25 world championship fights under your belt mhm uh you know I never over overlooking any fighter I know he's young he's he's he's a good fighter he's a strong but uh I've been there in there with everybody so I have a so much experience I'm a strong I have a lot of talent and and and I'm just the best Edgar for you in terms of being involved in this moment you talked about both you and your team mantioned about how you're The Underdogs coming into this fight that the media is writing you off that they're saying you're not going to go the dis is that bulletin board material does that give you any extra added motivation or does it not matter because of the fact that you can change your life if you're able to defeat the great Canelo Alvarez oh th% man you know um just everybody out there that's been doubting me you know that's all motivation for us you know on social media you know the people out there that just you know talking bad about me and saying all this

know what I'm saying in New York you know the concrete jungle man is it's not easy coming from from from New York you know so I've been in a position where I could have you know a th to one you get what I'm saying and I'm cool with it man it's it's more fuel for me it's more fire my blood and my veins you know to go to go out there and and perform and be great man you know this this the that's the whole point of boxing right you know is to go out there and and and make big fights happen at this magnitude this is the top of the mountain this is this this don't get any bigger you get what I'm
