HAHAMUNIN ni Filipino boxer Rey Perez sa harap ng mga kababayan si WBC Youth Silver super featherweight titlist Lamont Roach, Jr. sa MGM National Harbor Casino sa Oxon Hill, Maryland sa United States.

Ito ang ikalawang depensa ni Roach ng kanyang korona at masaya siyang ipalalabas sa pambansang telebisyon ng promoter niyang si multiple world champion Oscar dela Hoya ng Golden Boy Promotions ang kampeonato.

“It is an extra push [but] we don’t do anything off track” sabi ni Roach sa Fightnews.com. “We always stick to the game plan and add more to it. Also to know that my fans will be coming to the arena to see Lamont Roach, Jr. headline a boxing card means a lot.”

Hindi minamaliit ni Roach ang kalaban niyang si Perez dahil batid niyang beterano sa malalaking laban ang Pilipino ngunit nangako siyang patutulugin ito.

“I know he is coming into my backyard, my hometown so he will have that extra chip on his shoulder,” ani Roach. “But I never overlook any opponent and I’m looking to crush this guy.”

“I like the way Golden Boy is moving me,” dagdag ni Roach. “I feel they trust in me and I trust in them. If they do step me up to where there is an opportunity, then I’ll be ready and they know I will be ready.” - Gilbert Espeña
