"Vera has not seen the best Julio. I had my best training camp since I fought Andy Lee. I am ready to fight. Having my little daughter Julia with me gives me extra motivation. Vera earned his second opportunity because of the way he fought in our first fight. Vera is a true warrior. I have had much success in Texas, especially in San Antonio and am looking for giving the fans something they can remember - hopefully the Fight of the Year." VERA "I did all of my training times two. This has been the longest camp of my career. I sparred against heavyweights to get ready for Ch?vez Jr. I am going to beat him for the second time. Everyone knows I won the first fight. This is a serious fight with only one ending ...I will get my hand raised."
