With Luis Nery set to square off against Brandon Figueroa this weekend in a Showtime main event, defending his WBC world title, Nery shares some of his final thoughts on his expectations for the bout and explains what he’s out to prove in this outing. Check out some press quotes of what Nery had to say during today’s final press conference.
“In the ring, I’m going for the finish,” Nery said. “Everything is on the line. I just have to prove what I’m capable of inside the ring. I don’t care about anything else but that.
“I think people got carried away about my performance from my last fight. You’re going to see that my power translates on Saturday. Brandon is going to be the first person to see how my power really translates to super bantamweight.
“We’ve all been waiting to fight with fans in the stands. The fans are part of the thrill of boxing and how boxing is supposed to be. I can’t wait.
“I’m ready to fight anybody that will improve my legacy. I want to keep winning and moving up divisions and putting together a resume that matches up with all of the legendary Mexican fighters.
“Brandon’s style really fits with what I want to do in the ring. I know that I can achieve everything that I want in this division and show all of my skills in this fight. This style will go better with mine than Aaron Alameda’s did in my last fight.
“We just need to put on a great fight Saturday. This is going to be an all-out war from the first round on. People are going to be talking about it for a long time after.
“I’m only focused on Brandon Figueroa. After that fight, I’ll be ready for Stephen Fulton, Jr. Once I beat him too, he can tell me how my power feels at this weight.”
