I Got Ya

Yea guys no problems man everything is great on my end. I am here to answer many of your guys questions. I don't have a P.R I don't everything especially when it comes to fans without fans or crtics we would be nothing so I take time out to talk to you guys. I just want to put a lot of rumors to rest!!

1. Yes this is the Real "Gato" Figueroa

2. Bob Arum was present during sparring (Dont know what that has to do with anything) who knows right

3. Everyone enjoyed my working performance

4. There was no training regime that we had to follow all I had to do is show up for sparring. Now when I was in Camp with him before for his Judah fight there was a regime we had to follow because of his old trainer!!!

5. I was doing a lot of mimicking a lot of pac man moves but at the end of the day I'm still Gato and adding a lil of my moves shouldn't hurt. Sparring partners are brought in for the lil resemblance of who the world champion is fighting via height speed, Power, or techniques. Most of the time sparring partner don't mimic fighters they just do there own style!!!

6. I would never ever play someone on my twitter acct or facebook talking about oh yea today I bust someone ass and I'm the man hell no I have to much respect as a person for that. I just like updating Team Gato "The Journey to the world title". I am the only boxer to this date that converse with his fans cause ya mean so much to me. This is a tough journey instead of trying to play me understand how hard the situation is

7. For the record I'm not downplaying Cotto or anybody. In this tough damn sport of boxing I wish Cotto the best. I'm just wondering what in the world happen I wasnt even giving instructions as to maybe Gato we need more punches or movement or more jabs or etc but got a call and they said they want you to leave. At the end of the day we are all men not animals have responsibilities. We can't get fired from our jobs without a reason and as we know this is my "JOB".

7. I have moved on for my upcoming fight went running for 56 mins I'm back in the bronx setting up sparring and working so at the end of the day I feel like Roooooooocky hahhah

Can't Stop, Won't Stop
Team Gato Baby!!!

good to hear!!


honest question...

do you think that joe santiago sucks as a trainer... since you have work with them both?? evangelista and him??

I dont know after we sparred I did my own fitness I dont watch cotto workout. Honestly I do my own thing to get myself ready so that way I can get whoever I'm helping get better and for this fight I had to get myself ready. I was even cooking healthy meals for the sparring partners and giving them fitness workout. I take my "JOB" seriously.

After sparring with Cotto , what you can say that why Cotto is to difficult to be beaten ?

Hi Gato,

Thanks for responding to my question. I asked about Arum because he was recently at Pacquiao's camp. It's possible that Arum said a few things regarding with how you mimicked Pacquiao or it could've been Dundee who said something. That's my guess. Someone didn't like your performance, that's for sure, or they would've kept you longer.

Good luck to you, Gato! very unprofessional by team cotto.

[..WaRSpencE..]

Gato..you should go and spar Pacquiao and emulate Cotto's style..I'm sure Roach and Pacquiao would appreciate that..

[D-Omonist]

Even though I'm a Boricua from the island that supports Cotto, I learned a long time ago that if **** aint right then you let it be known. Very unprofessional for team Cotto to let you go without explaining why. You have gained a fan here for being honest, and for keeping it real with all your fans.

I believe that reason Gato is trying to create controversy is that he's trying to be on 24/7

'Any kind of publicity is good publicity' as they say.
