I promise it\u2019s going to be quick work on Saturday night. I plan on being as entertaining as always because I honestly don&#8217;t think he has the tools to hurt me, let alone force me out of first gear. He won\u2019t even be able to touch me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s coming in with a lot of power, but that Mexican pride isn&#8217;t going to be enough to get the job done with me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>ISAAC MUNOZ (18-2-1, 15 KOs), of Mexico City:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m going into this fight completely focused.

Everything has been great since I joined Salita Promotions. My fight with Samantha Worthington, I was worried about my diet and I felt unprepared, but I was able to come out on top and get the belt and I&#8217;m happy she&#8217;s OK.
