“I would give myself a B+ for that performance,” sabi ni Warren na nakalista pa ring No. 8 sa WBC at No. 12 sa WBO sa bantamweight division.. “I wanted to make sure to use my jab and I felt like it really helped me win the fight.”
Susunod na hahamunin ni Warren si Ancajas na nagpalasap ng unang pagkatalo kay Arroyo sa 12-round unanimous decision noong Setyembre 3, 2016 sa Taguig City.
“I feel really good at this weight. Now it’s time for me to go get a strap,” dagdag ni Warren. “I haven’t been at this weight since the Olympics. I want to get these titles and then go down to 112 pounds for another title. First I want to take care of Jerwin Ancajas.”
Napaganda ni Warren ang kanyang rekord sa 15-2-0 win-loss-draw na may 4 pagwawagi sa knockouts samantalang bumagsak ang kartada ni Arroyo sa 17-2-0 win-loss-draw na may 8 panalo sa knockouts.
