On Your Opponent: Aikens--"Perez is tough, and I know he is going to being his "A" Game. He is going to come in shape. But I know what I have, and how I prepared, so there is nothing to worry about." Perez--"Aikens is somebody else that is in the way of something that I want. He has to go. I know he is the one who wanted this fight, but that is his business. There is not much I can say about that." Does this mean anything more that your opponent is from Atlantic City? Aikens--"This is one of those fights that is for bragging rights. It is for the State Championship. It is one of those fights that I never expected to happen, but it is here, so I am going to make the best of it." Perez-"To me, he wants to prove that he is the best in the area. He had to fight someone who is one of the best. I tip my hat to hip, because he acknowledged me as one of the best."

A push to go forward. This is a must win fight for me." DeCarlo, how do you feel at 168-pounds? Perez--"168 is fine with me. I train hard and when I am fight at this weight, it is not a priority.
