Jorge Barrios: Ready To Walk The Walk

GL:  Tell us about it, Jorge.  What can we expect to see from you on the 15th? "I went very strongly for September 15th, because Juan Manuel Marquez says he's dynamite.  He must have a short fuse, and I want to see that fuse explode on the floor."

GL:  Do you see this fight going the distance?

JB:  I will win by KO, and I'll show the people who is the best champion.

GL:  Do you feel overlooked, because everyone in boxing is talking about how they want Juan Manuel Marquez, Manny Pacquaio, and Barrera?  Do you feel disrespected and overlooked, because they are focusing and writing about looking forward to that, instead of focusing on this event?

JB:  No, he can tell the people whatever he wants, but at the end of the day, on September 15th he can talk about Jorge Barrios.

GL:  I look forward to a great fight on September 15th.  Is there anything you'd like to say to the fans in closing?

JB:  It will be a great Independence Day for Mexico, and a new champion.

GL:  Thanks to Sampson Lewkowicz for the translating.
