FELIX “TITO”
TRINIDAD
: “I will carry my punch to 170 pounds. I feel strong at this weight. My hands are ready as they have always been. When I catch him, he will feel my power. I have been training for six months to make sure when I step in the ring I will be at my best. I wanted to fight at this weight and I feel stronger today than I have ever felt. I’m ready to go.
“I have always sparred with bigger guys and we brought in big, strong fighters for sparring. Tonight is my last sparring session and I feel great. I did a lot of sparring for this fight and I’m ready to go 12 rounds but if he goes early I can go home early.
“The last time I was an underdog was against De La Hoya and you see what happened. There is still time for people to change their bets on this fight. Anyone who bets against me is going to lose a lot of money.”
“I want all of my fans here in
America
, in
Puerto Rico
and anywhere else in the world to know that I came back to fight for them. I will not let them down. Tito is back.”
“After I win, and I intend to win, there (are) a lot of guys out there but Joe Calzaghe is in my vision and in my future,”
Trinidad
said. “So I will go after him too. There are a lot of fighters out there but Joe Calzaghe is one of them.”
Asked whether he intended to remain at 170 pounds for future fights,
Trinidad
stated the extra weights has some benefits.
“I feel stronger at 168, 170 pounds than at 160 and so Joe Calzaghe is one of my top priorities.”
