RANCES BARTHELEMY
"I'm excited. This is a huge fight for me, fighting on national television, fighting on SHOWTIME. I'm excited and anxious to get in there and give the crowd and the fans a great fight.
"You're going to see a solid, smart fighter that knows how to keep his distance and knows how to control the pace. And you'll see a lot of my jab, my biggest weapon.
"He has over 60 fights so we have to respect him. But we're going to let him know we're the bigger man."
