Micheal Alvarez interview before Featherweight Championship

Fighter profile of Michael Alvarez by Rain Thunder

By defeating Carl Sheppards by TKO in the 2nd round, Alvarez has earned himself a shot at Damien Redman's title.

Q: How are you feeling now that you know that you will face Redman for the Featherweight title at ROV 41?

A: Calm. Actually, I have never felt so calm before. I had a lot of time for preparation, and you will see the most evolved Micheal Alvarez ever.

Q: What do you think will differ from the first fight between you and him, when you went for battle for 5 grueling rounds, losing only to doctor stoppage in the 5th?

A: I'm a different fighter now, you can see that. I'm on a 4 fight win streak now, having the best training camp ever. I felt what it's like to fight him before, and he hasn't improved much. He is still the same fighter as he was, with championship level clinch game and elbows. He's talking about not being one dimensional because of his recent TKO win by strikes against Tony Ramos. Well, in my eyes he just KO'ed a wrestler, and I think he was able to do that before as well.

Q: What about your training?

A: It's hard and everything is calculated. Before I knew who my opponent is I just worked on my strenghts, I have developed even more. Now I'm having specific type of training especially for Redman.

Q: Any other words you want to say for Redman?

A: No. I just want to give a shoutout to fight fans - two high level athletes are competing for the world championship at ROV 41. You will witness greatness, don't miss this fight.
