The plan is always to go in there and to dominate the fight. I don’t want to leave people wandering, ‘Oh, man, that was a really close fight.’ I want to go in there and dominate and to win these fights convincingly. That was the plan, and we worked hard. In my fight with Escobedo, I was really able to step it up and show my talents off. How beneficial has it been, mentally, and, spiritually, that your wife, Casey, is doing well in her recovery? Well, you know, yeah, that’s been a big part of it also. My wife’s health getting a lot better, so, you know, I’ve been able to just focus more on boxing and I’ve really been able to zero in on getting ready for fights. Not just mentally and physically, but also, spiritually. So that helps out a lot to, being able to just work out and to focus on a lot of different things.
