I really look at this fight as my first world title fight because Millett was the champion and he was stripped. He's a strong, durable guy. He's got pretty good skills, and I'm looking to make an exciting fight. I'm able to deal with any style that comes my way. Training is what makes you.
Some guys do harder work in training than they do in the fight.
I had plenty of those. You train like a dog, and you get in a fight, and it's over in one round. Not surprisingly, Zab, who was in attendance when Bailey lost the WBO crown in Miami, had no shortage of opinions when it came to his power punching rival. Bailey's a fighter who had 21 fights that were handpicked. When he finally got in a fight where he had to fight somebody other than gas station workers, you see what happened.
