The promotion has shared a few comments from the main event fighters with Heraldez, raised in Las Vegas, sharing his thoughts on training camp at Mayweather Boxing Club with his trainer Otis Pimpleton, while Allison gave insight on his camp from Las Vegas at City Boxing Club with trainer Ul McHenry.
Juan Heraldez said about: “Training camp has been good. I haven’t taken a break since my last fight in August, so I picked up where I left off last camp. Everything has been going great so far. Same routine, same process, same everything outside of me just being more focused on what I want to do and applying myself more is the only difference.”
Maynard Allison on training camp: “It’s been going really good. Nothing really new in my camp. I was supposed to fight in September, but it fell through, so I’ve been in camp and training ever since.”
Juan Heraldez on his game plan: “My game plan is to win, so it is always the same. I’m looking to put a performance on and show out. I’m not saying I’m looking to get a stoppage, but that would be nice because I haven’t got one in a couple years.”
Maynard Allison on his game plan: “We will box him, but also going to bring a lot of pressure and smart aggression. He looks like he has quick hands, but has slow feet and likes to box and take his time.”
