He has a name in the business but I\u2019m in Argentina for no holiday. I\u2019m here to win. I\u2019m not gonna tell how I will. But I can tell you that I have the tools to take the title home,\u201d said Petrov, who lives in Spain and is under the guidance of trainer Ricardo Sanchez Atocha. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnlike many others that proclaimed themselves great fighters Petrov was the only one who had the balls to take this fight and you can tell that he is in great shape,\u201d Maidana\u2019s advisor Sebastian Contursi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople wants to see me knocking out my opponents and sometimes that not that easy.
