"I seen him fight one time in his last fight when he defeated John Molina. He uses a little movement and bounces around a lot...He throws a lot of jabs and he moves a lot. He's a typical fighter to me...My mentality is to not worry about the hype and expectation. I just go out there and do my thing and win the fight. As long as you win, everything will fall into place," stated undefeated lightweight contender Terence Crawford, who talkd about his upcoming October 5 clash with fellow undefeated lightweight Andrey Klimov on the undercard of Cotto vs. Rodriguez. Check out what else he had to say!



PC: How has everything been going?



TC: Ah man, it's going great. I'm doing good.



PC: You're out there in Colorado Springs putting in work for your upcoming fight on October 5th against Andrey Klimov. What do you know about him?



TC: I seen him fight one time in his last fight when he defeated John Molina. He uses a little movement and bounces around a lot.



PC: I think in your last performance, the knockout win over Sanabria, you showed a little bit of the whole package. Is that the goal, to just show a little more each time out?



TC: It's really just to go in there and do what I do best and that's fight my fight and get the job done and win.



PC: What did you take away from the Molina fight as Klimov's strengths and weaknesses?



TC: I really can't say because I haven't sat down and watched him a lot. I watched that fight when it was on live, but I never went back and studied it. He throws a lot of jabs and he moves a lot. He's a typical fighter to me.



PC: Anytime you watch lightweights fight on any network, do you look at this as a typical opponent or you really don't pay too much attention to the fact that they are in your weight class?



TC: Yeah, I just watch 'em because I'm a fan of boxing. Anytime boxing is on, no matter if it's lightweights or not, I just watch it and I don't even really think I might be fighting them later on.



PC: How long was this camp and how do you feel at the weight?



TC: I would say about 7 weeks now. I'm feeling good, man. Everything is going according to planned and I'm just ready to fight.



PC: When you look around the lightweight division, it's starting to get really interesting. That's gotta be refreshing for you being that you have told me in the past your goal is to capture a world title at lightweight before you go up to 140.



TC: It's a big deal for me to display my talents at lightweight and then eventually move up and continue to do what I do best at 140.



PC: You have also said in the past that you never try to one-up your last performance, but you put on a helluva show against Sanabria. People are really starting to put eyes on you now though, so are you starting to feel pressure to look better than your last time out?



TC: My mentality is to not worry about the hype and expectation. I just go out there and do my thing and win the fight. As long as you win, everything will fall into place.



PC: How much does your amateur pedigree help you go into all of these fights, like you said, without really even studying your opponents?



TC: It helps me a lot, but amateur is different though. It's a lot different. I fought different in the amateurs than I do now. I think I'm stronger and smarter and I grew a lot as a fighter. I am used to fighting different kind of styles though.



PC: You have been featured in the co-main event status for a few fights now on HBO. This time you will co-main the Cotto/Rodriguez card. How does it feel to keep getting that spotlight put on you on HBO?



TC: It feels good, you know, but I'm still working so I can be that headliner and be in the main event. I still got a lot of work to do.



PC: Do you think October 5th will be our last look at you for the year or are you thinking one more before year's end?



TC: Yeah, this will probably be the last time this year.



PC: What do you think will eventually separate you from the rest of the 135-pounders?



TC: My versatility; being able to box, bang, be smart, punch, move and counter. The whole package will be the difference, honestly.



PC: You told me once that when you switch to southpaw, it's just a natural thing. Is it natural come fight time or do you work on it so much in the gym that is just feels natural in the fights?



TC: It's natural. I train southpaw and regular. That way, I will always be polished on it and it won't be awkward when I do go to the southpaw stance.



PC: What can the fans in Orlando expect from you next month?



TC: They can expect the same thing that they get every other time; a win.



PC: I look forward to seeing you in there as always. I wish you the best of luck in October. Is there anything you want to add before I let you go?



TC: Nah man, just stay tuned!
