Michael Morales
I was actually very, very nervous back there in the locker rooms before [the fight]. I’ll tell you what, they told me trust yourself, trust what you can do, trust your potential. We put in the work and we made it happen. I knew the whole welterweight division was going to come out for me. They were going to come at me like sharks. Everybody trying to take my head off but I’ll tell you what, I’m always ready.
