“This is a great opportunity for Arroyo. I think he should be champion after the close fight he had with Amnat Ruenroeng. I know how well prepared he will be for this fight, this is a great test for me, this is why I´m training in Costa Rica, because I can have better sparring partners and the location allows me to focus total concentration for training,” he commented, adding: “I am very excited to return to Los Angeles Forum.
“This is what I always wanted for my career, namely fighting in the same arena where my idol Alexis Arguello fought. So this means so much to me … Alexis won the 4 fights he had in this place. “
Concentrating on his next title defense, Román is not anticipating future plans like a possible rematch with “Gallo” Estrada. However, he likes the notion, because he knows it’s what the fans really want.
