?I CAN?T predict what round I will knock him out but if that is what the people want, I will do it so that everybody will be happy.?
That was what International Boxing Federation Inter-continental titleholder Z ?The Dream? Gorres assured the Cebuano boxing supporters in the ?One More Time? public preview at the SM City Cebu Entertainment yesterday when a boxing fan asked him what round he will knock his Kenyan foe, Nick ?Kanyankole? Otieno in their May 31 war at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino.
Gorres has been working on his power in his training, in which a lot of people say he lacks, for this crucial battle.
?I?m practicing my power punch. That?s what we are trying to develop. I?m not a power puncher not like Pacquiao and ?Boom Boom? who?s power is inborn,? said Gorres.
Before the answering the questions of the fans, photo sessions and the autograph signing boxing fans and mall goers got a preview of how skillful and fully prepared their boxing idol?s were in their upcoming clash with the foreign invaders.
Gorres alongside former World Boxing Council flyweight champion Malcolm ?Eagle Eye? Tu?acao and ALA rising talent Jason Pagara showed off their speed and power in two rounds of three-minute punch mitt exercises each.
After pouring out their sweat, they cooled down with abdominal exercises and changed to their street clothes to meet the fans.
Five ringside tickets to the ?One More Time? fight card were given away to fans who correctly answered questions that were asked.
Meanwhile the antagonists of the Filipino pugilists, the Universal Boxing Federation champion Otieno, Tanzania Professional Boxing king Rashid Ally and Indonesian Heri Andriyanto will be arriving today and will be staying at the Northwinds Hotel.
Tu?acao will be face off with Ally in his comeback fight after a long layoff from the ring, while Pagara will clash with Andriyanto for the vacant World Boxing Organization Youth lightweight crown. (EKA)
