Motivation is a key factor, the driving force Jose Alfaro, the former WBA world champion at 135 pounds,. The Saturday he plans to use his past experiences to pull off the biggest win of his career in Los Mochis, Sinaloa - when he faces former two division champion Humberto "Zorrita" Soto, who makes the jump to 140-pounds in search of a third world title crown.
Alfaro has already spent several weeks in Mexico as the key sparring partner for former three division world champion Erik Morales, who himself continues to train very hard for his WBC title fight with Lucas Mathysse on September 17.
"I'm going to make it very hard for him - that I can guarantee," said the Nicaraguan fighter with a record of 25 wins (22 KOs) and 7 defeats. "I'm hungry for that victory because it represents an important step in my career. I know the fight is going to be intense, but I'm ready to beat the "Zorrita" on the 3rd of September."
