00:00 It's a big thing for me to fight here because after qualifying for Asian Games last year, I lost my exposure.

00:11 The training is different, you just train, compared to the training you prepare for the fight.

00:18 So this fight, we really prepared for it.

00:23 Not only for this fight, but also after this, we will go straight to Paris.

00:28 I will rest for 5 days, 1 week maximum, then I will go back to training to continue my preparation.

00:35 When will you go back to the US?

00:37 Maybe April, May 5th.

00:42 Will you go with the National Team or just you?

00:44 Yes, I will go with the National Team because we will go to Colorado.

00:47 We will prepare for the training.

00:50 You said earlier that you fought tonight at 176, so do you plan to maintain your weight during the US training camp?

00:58 Yes, that is the goal, to maintain my weight class.

01:02 Because I need to build muscle because I am really small in my weight class.

01:11 My natural weight in the Olympics is 165, so I need to gain 5 kilos for the Olympics.

01:24 I think my weight is perfect now, when I get to Paris, that is the weight I will fight for.

01:32 Are you content with the result?

01:37 Yes, I am content with the result.

01:43 We won 4 rounds, we will try to knock out.

01:48 I hope that in the next fights, I will be better.

01:56 I hope that I will be able to fight here in the Philippines.

02:01 I am thankful to all of you for your warm support.

02:07 In Colorado, there are more fighters who are looking for your same size.

02:12 Yes, that is the target.

02:15 There are more fighters there?

02:18 Yes, in the US, all of them are there.

02:21 Even the boxing training center is there, all of them are there.

02:31 I think it is good for me if I can fight there in Paris.

02:37 Do you think you will be able to fight in the Olympics?

02:39 Yes, there are other countries that are training there.

02:46 Other cities in the US, but mostly the qualified fighters are training there.

02:54 Thank you.
