greeting for everyone, proud to have represented and defended
the colors of our flag and have made it up to my Venezuelan

not a defeat, to win quite contrary, is that I will be
world champion at any time, because this is my dream and to make
it."
"I thank the Almighty (God) and my coach and representative
Orangel "Memin" Ramos for believing in me, they do not
disappoint, but neither are happy for not having brought the

next title fight".
