I respect him in and out of the ring. He has a hard lifestyle (working nights and single father of two children). We’re hungry fighters... Anthony will be asking me questions about what I can do in the ring. It’s going to be a tremendous fight. We both have tremendous heart and hunger. God willing, you’ll see me put it all on the line like I did in my last fight. It’s going to be the night before St. Patrick’s Day and a lot of Irish will be at the fight or watching on pay per view. It’s (fan support) been tremendous since I arrived in New York from Irish fans in places like New York and Boston. I’m going to Florida for six weeks of training so Harry (Keitt) can beat me up some more. I’m looking forward to this fight. I’m hungry and eager to put on a tremendous show. It’s going to be a night to remember for the Irish, boxing fans and Irish Ropes. There’s going to be an explosion March 16th.”
