R. Noguera said in his last intervew that the fight was interrapted as a no contest insted of doc stoppage and that you intentionally went for the illigal head collision ?

F. That's because Doctor's insisted that the fight went on but the judges and the president of Pride mr.Sakakibarra along with the managers of Noguera agreed to pospone the fight

R. Nog said that the fight went exactly as he planned it according to his entirely new staregy that he developed to beat you whitch was to move faster and sub you before you start your GNP

F. I have to agree that Noguerra moved around more then the last time we fought and maybe it was the new stategy that he is talking about but he tried the same submition attempts as the last time witch I interrapted in the very beginning whereas my punches that I sent flying into his head were very effective and it should be obvious to any fighter who watches the video again

R.Nog said that your punches were not hard at all emphesizing that you simply don't know any submition tactics then he mentioned that he noticed how you do not take his attacks very seriously and quickly getting tiredwhich was also part of his new strategy to wear you out early

F. I was not getting tired because he was not the only one who prepared well for this turnament Sergei Ogawa and myself were compleately readdy for the finals Gran Pri. I was readdy for this fight and had more then enough strength to fight the entire fight

R.Nog said in the last interview that he was better prepared for this fight then you did because he did not notice any changes in your strategy from your last fight also saing that he progressed more then you since the last time as a fighter

F. Without a doubt he looked better then the last time and the strategy that he used against me wasn't so bad as far as I can tell but only theoretically in reality it did not work as well as mr. Noguera was expecting in other words it did not work period... and that's why he is now saying how it could have been or should have been done simply because there is nothing he could do to beat me and he knows it.

R. In his intervew Nog said that as far as he is concerned he won that fight by TKO and now he is the best in the world again

F. I don't know about the best in the world(smiles) but he definately talkes way too much about this instead of getting readdy to fight me again

R.what are your plans for the future?

F. I would like ti resolve once and for all who is the true champion in the HW devision and hopefully Nog will not make any exuses to fight me in december

R. Anything before december?

F. Yes. Russia's sambo tornament the tournament in the amsterdam and then going to US to assist some of my friends such as Roman Zentzov who trained with me for a long time

R. would you like too add anything else..?

F. Yes. Antonio Noguera was saying in Japan after fighting me that his elbow was damaged so how was he going to sub me with the damaged elbow that night
Mr.Noguerra also said before our last fight that he trained very hard with the best boxers and will fight most of the fight standing in the upright position so the other question I would like to ask Mr Noguerra is how come the entire 4 min fight he just laid there and did not even wanted to get up?
