Here is what Puello (23-0, 10 KOs) had to say about facing Martin, training camp with Ismael Salas and more:
 
On training camp with famed trainer Ismael Salas in Las Vegas:
 
“I’m pushing myself to be the best. Every day we’re in the gym sharpening my skills, working on my movement and making sure I’m in top shape. Coach Salas has a great eye for detail, so we’re focused on the little things that will make a big difference in the ring. We’re making sure I’m going to be the best Alberto Puello that anyone has seen.”
 
On facing Sandor Martin:
 
“Sandor Martin is going to be a tough challenge. He’s the number one contender for a reason. He’s got a smart and complicated style, but we’ve been studying him closely. I’m preparing to take away his strengths and impose my own game plan. When that bell rings, I’ll be ready for whatever he brings.”
 
On what a win would say about his standing in the junior welterweight division:
 
“The only thing I’m envisioning is a win and keeping my unbeaten record. This win not only strengthens my status as world champions, but it creates the opportunity for even bigger matchups. I’m here to show that I’m the best champion in the 140-pound division. This fight is a huge opportunity to prove that to the world.”
 
On fighting in New York for the first time as a pro:
 
“Fighting at Barclays Center in Brooklyn for the first time is going to be special. I hear the energy in New York is different, and I know the fans are going to bring their passion. I’m very proud to be representing the Dominican Republic in New York and I hope the fans come out to see me do it in style. When I step in the ring and they see how I fight, I know they’re going to love it. I can’t wait to put on a show and give them a performance they won’t forget.”
