Bagamat may rekord si Dacquel na 20-6-1 at may 6 panalo sa knockouts kumpara sa walang talong si Moloney na may perpektong 15 panalo, 10 sa knockouts, kilala ang Pinoy boxer sa tibay ng mga panga sa mga laban sa abroad kumpara sa Aussie boxer na sa sariling bansa lamang lumalaban.
“Training is going extremely well for this fight. I stayed in the gym and continued to train after my last fight so I came into this camp already in good condition,” pagyayabang ni Moloney sa BoxingScene.com.
“I feel I have made some huge improvements with my boxing since my last fight and I’m really looking forward to showing that on February 24,” dagdag ng Aussie boxer. “This is the biggest fight of my career so far and I plan to put on a great performance and show the world that I belong up there with the best fighters in the super flyweight division”
