"It's the biggest fight and I am prepared to win by any means. I am confident that I'll retire Fernando Montiel from boxing. His time has passed. He was a great world champion. Now he's in my hands and remove him I will," Santos said.
"I spent several weeks training in Guadalajara and I feel very good in all aspects. I have gained speed and endurance and I will use all of that in the ring to win overwhelmingly against an opponent of high quality."
