Now we’re going to see who worked the hardest, who put in the most effort, and who will come out on top when the bell rings. This fight has been brewing for a long time and there will be no turning back. Let’s see who wants it more.”
For his part, Luis (29-5-0, 10 K.-O) wishes to curb a series of two failures. He lost by unanimous decision to John Bauza at Madison Square Garden in New York City in March.
