RB: Hello Travis. Tell us a little about your fight tomorrow. "I am fighting against Cliff Couser. It should be a step up for me. He is supposedly Mike Tyson's half brother. [Editor's note: Couer resembles Tyson, but there's never been any proof of a relationship]. He is a tough fighter and battle tested."
RB: You last fought Ken Murphy in Oklahoma and he didn't have the greatest record. Before that you fought Malachy Farrell who weighed over 280 lbs. In this fight, leverage and size shouldn't be a disadvantage as Couser is a lighter and smaller fighter.
TK: I don't underestimate him. Remember he knocked out Monte Barrett. I am training like the fight will go a full six rounds. I want to make sure I am ready for him and come out with a win.
RB: Do you have a message for the fans?
TK: Be on the look out for me in 2009. I am going to be stepping up the level of competition.
