GL: We had you on Boxingtalk earlier in the week. Since then Francisco Palacios made it clear that he wouldn't turn you down so naturally you call me with something to say. Now's your chance, knock yourself out. "Well, he has to look no further for his January opponent. I'm ready and willing. We've both come up and we're both undefeated so let's do it on January 19. Have your people call my people, I'm really easy to work with and we can make it happen."

GL: A few interviews ago you mentioned the possibility of fighting Vassiliy Jirov. I spoke with Jirov and he mentioned a fight in Moscow. I understand his name has returned to the mix, what can you tell us about that?

BJ Flores: "Rich from Pinnacle Fight Night Promotions called me and offered me Vassiliy Jirov for December 29 at the Morogno Casino in California. I of course accepted. His fight in Russia got scrapped. He said last time if it wasn't for the fight in Russia he would fight me, now that there's no fight in Russia is off we're looking to make it happen. I'd fight Jirov on December 29, but Palacios on January 19 sounds fantastic to me. I know there's going to be a lot of Puerto Ricans over there, but they can't get into the ring with him. Roy Jones Jr will be fighting in that main event and I've idolized Roy growing up. It would be an honor to fight on the same card with somebody who everytime he fought my eyes were glued to the TV to see what he's going to do next. Me and Roy Jones would steal the show."

GL: We're going to keep it short and sweet, closing thoughts?

BF: "Francisco Palacios if you really want to fight and aren't just talking, have your people call my people and let's put on a show. I promise you it would be an early night."
