It was it was. I 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:28.240 was there in twenty nineteen. 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:32.120 I got honored as my Guinness for the world records 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:37.639 for seven division and it was like a complete different parade. 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.920 This time. Everyone knew who I was, my name. Is 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.040 just felt so welcoming and so awesome. 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.080 You want to, like you just said, titles in seven 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.760 different weight classes. Are you chasing greatness? Are you chasing 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:50.800 something something deeper? 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.440 I'm chasing legacy, and I believe I've accomplished that already. 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.400 You know, I'm the first Puerto Rican to become undisputed 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.640 male or female and first seven division world champions. So 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:08.399 now it's just doing other stuff, making money, making money 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.839 and opening the doors and continue to open the doors 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:12.240 for women in the sport. 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:16.160 You know you he mentioned seven divisions. People don't realize 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.039 how difficult that is. The only fighter that has done 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.679 more is Manny Packard we just talked about him has 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:26.319 done eight divisions. Yeah, yeah, but that's what's in the 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.360 in the books, right. So so what she's done is 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.039 like it's insane, right, But there's another division that you 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.759 haven't fought in one seven, right, And I just want 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.240 to throw that out there because I know that Clarissa 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.080 is a lot bigger. She's fighting heavyweight one fifty four, 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.400 one sixty, but she's a big name in the sport. 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.720 And for some reason, you girls were cool. But it's 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.520 like tension, Like you put out a tweet that I 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.680 actually respected your tweet, like because it's kind of like 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.320 you were fed up of her attacking MVP, your promoter. 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.360 It is that a pipe jam if it ever came, 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.480 if she came down on one forty seven, could that 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:58.200 fight ever happen? 0:01:58.640 --> 0:01:59.480 What's your natural weight? 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.960 First, I'm the champion currently, I'm the featherweight champion, which 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.320 is one hundred and twenty six pounds twenty pounds. I 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.920 am fighting for the title. I wont forty with Katie Taylor. 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:15.000 But respectfully, I respect Clarissa what she's done in the sport. 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.040 I respect her as an athlete, her accomplishments. But I 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.720 came here today to talk about July eleventh, to talk 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.919 about me, to talk about the girls that are making 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.239 history at Manison Square Garden on Netflix. 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:27.840 So ye, she. 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.120 Said something, she said that the Many eight is questionable. 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.239 Why because he won two division two divisions. 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.600 They weren't world titles. There were regional titles. All my 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.400 divisions was world titles. 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:39.800 Got you? 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:40.000 Now? 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.560 I need to ask, you know, when gaining that much weight, 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.160 right when you're naturally won twenty six and you have 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.120 to gain twenty pounds, how does that affect you? Affect 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.000 your speed, affect your strength, and infect your mental It does? 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.320 It does affect you. People don't't realize it. 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.120 It's harder for me to go up and weigh than 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.920 to make the lower weight because I walk around one 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.560 thirty four one thirty five, So it's easy for me 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.040 to drop ten pounds. But when I'm going up a 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.839 lot of these girls they can withhold my power. They can, 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.200 you know they can. You know the power is I 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.720 still have power at that way. But it's just a 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:17.200 lot easier for them to have hold it, and it's. 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.480 It's I have to be constantly eating. 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.400 My trainer, my sister. Everyone's like forcing me, you have 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:23.440 to eat, you have to eat. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:23.960 Eat healthy. 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.640 But I'm like, I'm not. I'm not hungry. I just 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:28.400 finished training. 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.360 I'm not hungry. And they're like, no, you have to 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.440 eat because I can lose weight really. 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.760 Really fast if you believe you ate healthy. Yesterday after definitely. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:41.000 You know, everybody know what's Honestly, I didn't, but I 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.560 have a fried fish sandwich. 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.760 It's probably not Puerto Rican food, but it was just 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:47.520 it was crazy. 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:48.280 It was crazy. 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.920 Well, you're you're fighting, speaking of July eleventh, you are 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.360 fighting Katie Tailor. You already for her twice. Now, what 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.520 are you doing differently this fight? 0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:58.560 Yeah, definitely. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.280 I brought in Nowpie people for the camp. I have 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.880 a nutrition coach now, Sidney Miller. She's been helping me 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:06.360 feeding me good food. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.880 I have a running coach. His name is Spencer. 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.680 He's the one who helped Turn of That and all 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.680 his fights, so that's been a great help for me. 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:21.400 I hire another assistant coach that's helping me keep my 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.480 distance helping me with my head movement and boxing and 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.840 stuff like that. But listen, me and Katie had twenty 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:29.880 great rounds together. 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:32.640 We bring great fights. 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.480 We show the fans that we can't fight, and this 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:36.599 fight is going to be no different. 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:37.000 You know. 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:41.000 We ad headlining Madison Square Garden, an all girl card, 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.800 and the good thing is that all these girls are 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.360 coming to fight, so we don't know who's going to 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.359 be the fight of the night, so all of us 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:50.520 are stepping our game up. 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:51.800 I'm stepping my game up. 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.320 I need this when on paper, I believe I want 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.920 both fights, but this one is different because I need 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.160 the judges to see that I want this fight, eat 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.240 this fight on paper. So yeah, we're working a little different, smarter, 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.920 and I believe this the third times. 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.920 The charm and you know the fact that they're fighting 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:13.080 a trilogy, even though Katie got both decisions, speaks to 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.359 like how close those fights were and how many people 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.160 felt you even won both of those fights. What fight 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:21.919 you think was close out of the first two. 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.920 The first one, the first one was a good fight. 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.320 My coach told me after the fight, he said, I 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.000 think his ninety six ninety four is pretty close. So 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.560 when the first judge said that, he looked at me, 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.159 he said, you see, I got we got it. 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:38.839 But the second one I think was pretty clear that 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:39.320 I want. 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:43.000 I landed one hundred and seven more punches on Katie. 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.039 To every people say that I get hit a lot. Listen, 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.080 one hundred and seven punches. That's a lot of punches. 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:53.000 And the first one was the fifth of the second 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:53.880 one was the first. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:54.719 In a couple of rounds. 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.560 Like I've heard Katie every fight, both fights that I've heard, 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.719 or She's never really hurt me other than the head. 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.719 But but you know, I respect Katie as a fighter. 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.720 She's a great fighter, great champion, and she's gonna come 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.880 to fight. She needs this win to be like convincingly. 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.800 She needs the fans to say, Okay, Katie won this fight, 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.320 and listen, I'm a professional, I'm a champion. If Katie 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.800 was to beat me, like clearly, I would say, pats 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.840 off to Katie. Katie, you're a great champion, you're a 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:23.440 great fighter. 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.040 You beat me. But I just don't feel it. 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.760 The fans don't feel it, my team doesn't feel it, 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.599 doesn't see it. So I'm like, God, just this one 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:33.799 is like this, Like the last hurrah. 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.680 How do you feel confidence in the judges during that now, right, 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.400 because you think you lost, you think you wont both 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:39.880 of them. You feel like you would cheat it. So 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.760 how do you still have that confidence in the system 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.520 and the judges because you punch, you show. 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:44.640 Yeah, I know that. 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.640 That's the only thing that I'm like, ah, we need 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.680 we need better judges, and hopefully the team gets that 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.920 work before I step into that ring, because I feel 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.560 like those two fights it was like four against one 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.320 or five against one because it's the judges, Katie and 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.000 the referee. The referee wasn't on my side the last 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.520 fight as well, So I just want a fair fight. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.320 I just want me and Katie to fight and the winner, 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:10.760 you know, takes it all. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.280 I mean, it's just how do you fix the politics 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.320 of boxing though, because I mean you can clearly watch 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.080 those fights until boxing politics came into place, So how 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:18.520 do you fix it? 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:18.760 Yeah? 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.640 And it's not just my fight, you know, it's you 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:22.640 see it every day every time there's a fight. 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:24.880 I mean that I don't know. 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.840 I don't know if if the judges are influenced by 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.600 the crowd or the influence by the promoters or it's 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.600 just really hard. I don't know what they're thinking, what 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.760 they're seeing. I don't know if they need to watch 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.200 it in a screen because I watch fights front row 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:40.360 and it's really hard. 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:42.000 Yeah, it's so hard to. 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.680 See a good fight. Sometimes the referee gets in the way. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.880 I just don't know what they're seeing. I've seen fights 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.320 where the judges have to like be moving around to 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.680 actually see the action, and then if the person's back 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.840 is against that one judge, you don't know what's happening. 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.360 So I don't know if maybe a screen be a 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.160 better I have no idea. 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:03.880 Any better judges. 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.240 I mean, boxing is the only sport where you can 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.960 keep messing up at your job and never get fired. 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.640 Like judges that judge bad fights always wind up judging 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.520 more fights, you know. So I think the Commission and 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.800 all the States needs to the judges need to be 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.480 judged sometimes. But I want to go back to the 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.680 second fight. What round was it that you got the cut? 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:29.240 Again? I feel for the four So you fought six 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.800 rounds with blood in your eye? 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.040 How do how do how do you avoid those butts? 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:37.520 Like going into the third fight? Like, is there a 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.760 strategy where we know what Katie does like, is there 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.160 something you're gonna do to kind of avoid getting hit 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:43.800 with the head again? 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.280 Yeah, man, I'm maintaining all distance definitely, because once I 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:48.960 heard her, I know she's going to come in and 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:50.600 try to hold me and try to grab me and 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.760 then use her head. I mean, she's very good at 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:57.240 using her head. Not taking anything away from Katie, she's 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:58.320 the great champion. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:59.800 And she's very very skillful fighter. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.880 But you know, I think what I've got hurt the 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.040 most was with the head. And the second head butt 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.560 was so painful, Like people don't know. The first one, 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.480 I was like, okay, whatever, but the second one, it 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.400 was a very open wound and it hit the bone 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.840 and I was like I saw black for a second. 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.480 I was like, what is going on? That's why I 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.440 was just so I was pissed off. I was like, 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.680 oh my god. And then there was no help with 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.600 the referee. The referee wasn't really warning her with the head. 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.680 But listen, this happens in the sport of boxing, and 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:32.520 it's just onto the next one. 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.640 You did say third time, as I'm with you, but 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.200 are you prepared for it to go the other way? 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:39.040 Like? 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.320 What what do it mean for you to win, I 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.000 mean to lose the third time to Katie's. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:48.240 It will suck my god, three times, I mean. But 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.000 but I'm not thinking about that. I'm not putting that 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.679 into the universe. I'm manifesting a win like I always do. 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.680 But you know, like I said, if if she wins 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.600 the way she's supposed to win, then I'm gonna be like, listen, Okay, 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.800 she got it. But I'm just hoping that the judges 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.199 are watching the fight in different. 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:09.560 Differently. 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.920 Well, you and Katie had the best fight on that 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.120 that car because Jake Paul and tights and sucked right. 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.160 But when I think about that fight, I think about 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.760 how bloody it was, like it looked like Mortal Kombat. 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.600 How much does it how much does that take out 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:21.800 of you? 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:23.120 Well, it takes a. 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.640 Lot of a lot of you, you know, honestly, knowing 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:28.839 that you have this car, I'm just. 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.160 Blessed that I have a great, a great corner. My 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.800 cup man was amazing. I did not know. 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.240 How big the cut was until I saw it and 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.200 the monitor and the monitor you could it was. 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.360 It wasn't that bad. When I went to the back 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.240 to get stitched uff, I was like. 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:44.800 Oh my god, I brought a tea to my eye 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.960 because I thought about my family back home watching now 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.040 on Netflix. I was like, oh, because I know it 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.560 looks a lot worse on TV. So but it takes 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.080 a lot all that blood and then it wasn't just 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.720 that one headbutt. It just kept happening and her rubbing 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.040 her head on it, so you definitely can feel it. 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.839 I believe if I did lose around it was the 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.520 round after the cut, because that was just like probably 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.880 still in pain. But that didn't stop me. You show 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.360 you saw the heart I had in there. 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.440 I was like, let's go, let's keep fighting. And but 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.360 it can't take a lot of it. 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.360 Yeah, there's been men with smaller cuts that can't continue 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:24.120 and quit before her. So Jake Paul has signed so 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.040 many women obviously this are all girls card. He's done 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.920 a lot for women's boxing. Do you feel like you 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.440 are kind of the reason because you know what he'd 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:37.040 done with your career and uh and how successful you've been. 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.240 That's why women are saying I want to go there, 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.080 Look what he look Look what a man has been 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:41.640 able to do. 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.080 Listen Jake Paul and the case of Adarian MP have 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.680 changed my life completely. They have changed the sport of 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.880 female boxing, and I am super proud to be part 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.240 of them. And yes, yes, I believe that they these women. 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.480 In the beginning, these a lot of people had a 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.120 lot of stuff to see say about Jake and and 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.199 I took that chance to be with Jake Paul because 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.640 when I met Jake Paul and the KISA, they told 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.320 me where they wanted to go. They asked me how 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.080 much I was getting paid, what you want to do 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.080 in the sport and whatever. They made sure the first 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.920 card that I was Cana, he he said, I want 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.600 the whole card to make the most money that they made, 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.160 So he paid me the most money I got. 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.800 Paid before that. How much have you what was your 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:27.800 biggest paid before? 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.880 Not definitely, not seven figures, way less than that. You know, 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.600 I got paid four thousand dollars for world title fights. 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:42.320 I got paid four thousand dollars for tying up with 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.000 Miguel Color becoming a full division world champion. 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:47.839 Four thousand, so. 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:55.440 You know, section sanction fees and all that stuff. 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:57.360 Yeah, it's been it's been a journey. 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.600 I got paid a peanuts, like it's sometimes I got 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:05.000 paid nothing, just to fight just to stay to maintain. 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:09.160 But yeah, that's the difference with Jake Paul and these women. 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.640 Now that they see that we're making me Katie making 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.920 millions or just making noise and my fan base how 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:20.079 much it grew being under Jake Paul there now they 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.160 want to come along. But I guess they had to 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.760 see what was what he really wanted to do with 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.240 female boxing, and he proved it. He proved it with 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.160 me and now he's proving it. Come July eleventh, the 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.680 first in history at MSG on Netflix. I am super 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.240 proud to be part of that. And like I said before, 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.280 this is going to be a car you don't want 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.920 to miss because we have two on disputer championship, three 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:49.320 unified champions championships, and you just don't know who is 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:50.520 going to be the fighter of the night. 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.680 Now, you recently pushed for twelve three minute rounds women's boxing, 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:54.480 You push for that hard? 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:55.840 Why so much? 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.720 Because we talk about equality in the sport of female 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.760 box and one way to do it is to fight 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.480 the same time the men fight. You know, we fight, 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.000 so some men complain that, oh well, they fight less 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:11.880 than us and for two minutes tay around. 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:12.920 Why you want to. 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.679 Get paid just like us. So I believe it's one step. 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.400 We want equality, so we have to fight for what 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.920 we believe, for what we want. And I'm a big 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:26.520 advocate for the twelve three. Katie, she said the rematch, 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.280 she said, she shook my hand and said that we 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.520 can if we fight again, we can do it, and she. 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:36.360 Like that promised. So, I mean, we were fighting ten. 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.520 Two, but I would prefer the twelve three because I 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.840 believe if I had that extra minute, I can definitely 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.360 hurt her and finish her. But I think a lot 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.960 of us women wouldn't want that because we have a 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:50.280 lot more time to show our skills. I believe that 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.360 the ten tools it's like a sprint for women's boxing, 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.480 and then the twelve three is like a little jog 0:14:56.520 --> 0:15:00.200 and marathon. We can showcase more of our skills, have 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.480 more time to get these knockouts. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.720 Rumor has a year the reason why Netflix wanted to 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.640 stay in boxing after the first fight in Texas, like 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:13.320 how entertaining your fight was opposed to the others, something 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:13.520 like that. 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:15.640 You know, Jake, Paul and Mike they wore what they 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:16.080 were right. 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.040 It was a unique type of fight, but Netflix said no, 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.320 we need to see that again, and that's why you 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:22.120 fight on Netflix? 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:23.680 Is that true? Is there some truth today? 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.320 Well, I mean the birdie said no. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:27.720 Yeah. 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:29.880 I mean that's what I want to do every time. 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.840 My trainer, Jordim all and Ato, he told me, whenever 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:38.240 you have an opportunity, you see the opportunity, you go 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.600 out there and you do whatever you have to do 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.800 to make sure that people. 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.400 Tune in, people watch you, people want you. And I 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:46.040 knew that fight. 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:47.800 I knew the fight with Katie Taylor was going to 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.040 be a great fight. So I said, no, matter what 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:51.920 I do, I have to just give my all that 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.440 that night, and I did. And look and now Netflix 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.360 believed in me and Katie so much that they gave 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:02.280 us our own card with all women. So they believe 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.640 in us women. And that's something that really touches me. 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.400 And that really it gets me excited because now we 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.880 have these big, big networks, big stadiums, big people, big 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.200 sponsors that are giving their money, giving their time to 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.560 promote and to just give us this the spotlight. And 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:20.520 I'm excited. 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.800 I want to ask you mentally and emotionally, was it 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.560 harder fighting her the second time? Or harder to lose 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:27.760 to her the second time. 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.080 I guess I want to have thought about that, but 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.960 I guess losing to her because when you're a fighter, 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.680 you're mentally you You go in there, you physically prepare 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.400 yourself and you mentally prepare yourself. So me, I felt 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.560 I felt good physically and mentally, I was. 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:45.960 Like, yeah, I'd be her the first time. 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:51.000 This time I'm going there were more confidence and and. 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:51.320 Then then it go my way. 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.200 So I was like, gosh, and I and I knew 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.480 and I felt that I won that fight because I 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:57.800 kept coming forward and I landed more punches. I do 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:01.000 more punches, and for the for the judges not to 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.920 see in my way, it's just like a man that sucks. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:05.200 What about the Puerto Rican people? 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.040 You bought a house in Puerto Rican, you've been living 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.080 there when you went back after that fight?
