Berchelt and Roman worked out Tuesday at the Wolves Den Gym. This is what they had to say.



Miguel Berchelt

"I am so eager to put Roman in his place that when I spar, I imagine that I?m sparring him and I push my sparring partners to the limit. Apologies to all my sparring partners because I have hurt them during sparring, but when that happens, the actions stops immediately and I apologize to them. I?m just thinking of Roman.?

"There is more at stake in this fight than just victory. This is about pride! I want to teach Mickey a lesson in his own backyard. I am fed up with all the talking he has done. In the ring, my quality as an elite fighter, and my fists, will do the talking."

"It's a rivalry between two sportsmen. Mickey has talked a lot, and we're going to brawl."

"Styles make fights. I am going to take the first round or two to feel him out. Then, I'll make the adjustments, and if I have to go all out, I will."



Miguel "Mickey" Roman

On fighting close to his hometown of Juarez, Mexico

"It's definitely a great motivation for me. When I fight here in El Paso, a lot of people support me from all over, like Las Cruces, Albuquerque, and all around El Paso and Juarez."

On his message to the fans of El Paso

"This is the fight that everybody wanted to see. Boxing people wanted to see this fight, and I'm willing to put everything on the line. Whatever I have, I will leave it in the ring."

On the crowd that will be attendance

"The people are going to be divided. The arena is going to be divided. They will be rooting for me and Berchelt. He's a champion. He has a lot of fans, too. Believe me, I'm going to do part and do my best in the ring. This will be the fight of my life."
