Peter Manfredo, Jr. – “There’s real bad blood between us (Manfredo and Spina). I want to hurt this kid. He disrespected me, trash talking about me, my father and my wife, He kept calling me out and Saturday’s the big night. He just swings for the fences, looking for home runs, and that’s when you strike out. He’s not a boxer, I am; I throw short punches, he throws looping punches. I’m going to wear him down and take him out by the eighth. I have too much skill for him.”
