Greg Leon: Congrats on your victory over Mario Briones (29-9-2). Can you give us some thoughts on your performance? Chris Colbert: "Domination. I mean this is what I do every time I step in the ring. I don't even get excited because this is what I do everytime I step into the ring, I dominate fighters whether it's me stopping them or beating the sh*t out of them." GL: The left hand was on point the other night, was there something you saw in Briones that lead to you believing that would be the weapon of choice? CC: "I've just been working on my left hand a lot in camp because I am an ambidextrous fighter. I want to just build my power with my left hand more because my right hand is really my strong hand. My left hand is weak compared to my right, but I was working on that shot in the gym and it showed during the fight. I don't do any studying or none of that, I didn't know that was going to be the shot to lay him out, I was just practicing it in camp."

 

GL: After you dropped him with the left hand, did you know that all you had to do was keep touching him and the ref was going to have no choice but to save him?

 

CC: "Yes, but I really wanted to knock him out. If it would have went the rest of that round or one more round, I would have put him flat out with the left hand."

 

GL: You've been impressive in your last several fights, when do you see yourself taking the kind of step up fight that's going to bring your career to the next level?

 

CC: "Man I've been taking step-up fights since my fourth fight."

 

GL: You know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about the kind of fight that's going to be on national television and make fans really take notice of you to the point where you're a fixture on television moving forward.

 

CC: "From my last two fights on, everything is going to be on TV. I'm going to dominate whoever they put in front of me and I don't care who it is."

 

GL: Do you have any idea when your next fight might take place?

 

CC: "July or August."

 

GL: What are your goals for the rest of this year?

 

CC: "To keep on dominating. I'm not one of these fighters who's going to be calling out this person or that one, I'll fight anybody, anywhere, anytime, any place. I'm not picky, I just want to fight and build my resume and legacy. I'm looking to become one of the greatest fighters to ever put on the gloves."

 

GL: When you see the attention guys around your weight class like Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney are getting, do you consider yourself to be as good as those guys or better even though you're not getting the same kind of attention?

 

CC: "What type of attention are they getting?"

 

GL: Devin has been headlining on Showtime and Teofimo is about to be headlining his own card on ESPN after he fights on Saturday night for instance.

 

CC: "After my next fight I'll be headlining cards too. I feel like we're on two different sides of the street. Devin Haney has money and he doesn't have a promoter, but at the end of the day when you have money, money talks. Teofimo Lopez is on the Top Rank side and they don't have as much on their side of the street as we do with Haymon's side. We got more great fighters so there's more competition to headline on my side of the street than theirs. I would have been headlining if I was with Top Rank-- I'm the best prospect in the game hands down."

 

GL: Can you still make featherweight?

 

CC: "Yes I can."

 

GL: Is that your preferred weight? Where do you feel most comfortable?

 

CC: "I'm comfortale at 126 and 130. I plan on winning my first world title at 126, but if there's big opporunities at 130 if they make enough dollars they'll make sense."

 

GL: I've been talking to you for about five minutes and I can already tell that you're a super f**king confident athlete, but as you're aware there's no such thing as a perfect fighter. With that being said, what part of your game do you feel needs the most sharpening?

 

CC: "My power, that's it. I'm the sharpest knife in this boxing draw. The last thing I'm worried about is my brain, my sharpness and my defense. My power is the least sharp part of my game, but you don't need power to be a great fighter. Floyd Mayweather did haven't great power, but we've got the kind of power that fighters are going to respect to where they're not going to come in and try to go crazy on us."

 

GL: What do you have to do to enhance your power? Is it about sitting down on your punches?

 

CC: "More sitting down on my punches, because I punch a lot while I'm moving. I told everyone I was going to catch a knockout versus Briones and I kept my word."

 

GL: Was this performance against Briones the start of people getting to see your power?

 

CC: "I mean yeah, but he's been stopped twice before so I'm not taking too much out of it. It was bound to happen as far as I'm concerned."

 

GL: Closing thoughts for the fans.

 

CC: "Shout out to all my fans all across the world, I love you guys, thanks for the suppot. Keep following me, the journey continues."
