Gilberto "Yaqui" Parra (26-3 21KO's) from Sonora, Mexico who received his WBC Silver title from his last win over Leyman Benavides, was not phased by Juarez words and had a few of his own " We are very motivated to be facing a great opponent like Juarez here in Mexico City" he continued " I am very happy to finally receive my WBC silver title, i don't plan on holding it very long as my ultimate goal is to become world champion in the near future".
Ricardo Maldonado CEO of producciones deportivas closed out the session by saying "there is a lot more on the line then just a regional title, this is more of a world title eliminator" he added " On Friday night the winner of these two warriors will be in great position to face current WBC champion Ken Shiro".
