Freddy Hernandez has vowed to fight his fight when he defends his WBC Latino welterweight title against ‘Mighty’ Mike Anchondo at Buffalo Bill’s Star Arena in Primm, Nevada tonight (Sept 17).
Hernandez, who faces Anchondo on ShoBox: The New Generation on cable network, Showtime (11 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) said: “I’m going to use my reach and my height. I’m not going to go down to his size. I’m going to fight my fight being the taller guy.
“I respect Mike Anchondo as a person but in the ring it’s either his family or my family and I’m going to take care of my family.
“I know everyone wants to talk about my knockout against (DeMarcus) Corley. I have a lot to show people.
“A win in this fight could put me in line for a world title shot. That’s the goal. That’s what we’re after.”
Anchondo, 30-2-(19), too will want to impress following his controversial draw against Mauricio Herrera in his last fight. “I know some people might have forgotten about me over the last few years but I’m here to say I’m back,” insisted Andchondo.
“People think I won a questionable decision last time on ShoBox against (Mauricio) Herrera. It wasn’t as close as they thought. I notched the ‘W’ and that’s all there is to that.
“I’m not concerned about his height, absolutely not. I’m thinking it’s a small advantage to me, no pun intended. It’s an advantage because he’s going to have to come down to my level.
Anchondo added: “I’ve run into him in boxing circles. We’re both from L.A. You know how that goes. I know him and he knows me. Best of luck to him tomorrow. I’m going to do my thing and he’s going to do his.”
