FERNANDO DAVID SAUCEDO
"I came here to win the world title and that's what I'm going to do.
"It's a dream come true to fight here in the United States. It's obvious that I can't do what I did in my previous 60 fights. I need to bring a little more to go home with the title. I'm very well-prepared and I'm looking forward to getting in the ring."
