I am well prepared because I’ve spent two months training on the mountains of Mexico with my team: Alfredo Caballero, sparring partner David Picasso and head trainer Alejandro Porras. “I am very excited but have many mixed feelings. I feel that after winning this fight, I am going to burst into tears. I have been through many difficult situations in my life, from not having money to eat or take a bus, but now being one of the best in the flyweight division is a dream come true for me.” Self-described as having a style that’s a mix of technical skills and aggressiveness, Mendoza adjusts to what his opponent does, knowing when it’s time to close the show.
