"I got bigger plans after the Cotto fight too. After I beat him, I hope Mayweather is watching. I hope he is watching the fight and gives me an opportunity to fight him. I just want the biggest names in boxing. I want to earn the spot on Saturday night to fight the best...I'm going to win this fight. I'm going to do everything it takes to win this fight on Saturday night. You will see a different Delvin Rodriguez. I'm in a position to stop Cotto from whatever he plans on doing and I will," stated jr. middleweight contender Delvin Rodriguez, who talked about his upcoming clash this Saturday with former jr. middleweight champion Miguel Cotto. Check out what else he had to say just days ahead of the showdown!



PC: How are you feeling now that the biggest fight of your career is just days away?



DR: I have no nerves. I'm just excited to do my job. It's a very positive vibe over here because we did so much work. I'm confident with the work that we did. Right now, I'm just enjoying every minute of it and enjoying it all because we took one hard fight after another. Here we are; we are just going to take advantage of this and enjoy it.



PC: A lot of fighters say this was the best training camp they have ever had, but from what I hear, this is true for you. Do you feel this was by far your best camp to date?



DR: Yeah, definitely. I started working out like 3 months ago just so that my body could get the best out of my work. We had 2 months of really hard work and I really can't wait to show it off. It was great work and we brought in different guys and we really got in shape for this fight. Cotto is a guy you gotta be in shape against to keep him off of you.



PC: I'm sure you are well aware of some of the judging blunders of late. How do you not let some of this bad judging affect the way you fight and deviate you from your game plan?



DR: Definitely. It's on my mind now and if I see the slightest chance to go for a KO, I'm definitely going to go for it. I'm trying not to leave it to the judges at all because you never know. You never know what a judge is looking at, and like you said, we're seeing it over and over; one after the other.



PC: What would it mean for you and your team to win this fight and put to rest this notion that you can't perform at a level this high?



DR: I worked hard for many years and had several obstacles in my past and I overcame them all. Here I am and I'm the most motivated I have ever been for a fight and all of that is going to show on Saturday night. People are going to see a different fighter and they will be surprised to see a fighter that is motivated to win this fight. I will do whatever it takes to win this fight. I want this fight to get me to the next level, the highest level where the money is, where the best are, and where the champions are. Come Saturday night, the whole world is going to know Delvin Rodriguez.



PC: Even though this is your first time headlining on HBO, are you still trying to treat this as just another fight or are you welcoming the expectations that come along with fighting on HBO?



DR: The expectations are big and huge and I feel like I have been ready for this for a long time. That's the way I feel right now. There are no nerves, just excitement right now. I'm ready for this. I been ready for this for awhile and I worked hard for this. I earned this opportunity and I have to take advantage of this. That's the way I feel right now. I'm very calm. I don't know, man. I feel like I have been here forever; like I know what to expect.



PC: Freddie Roach seems to be overlooking you more than anyone in that camp. Are you viewing that as disrespect or motivation?



DR: I take it as motivation. Everybody has the right to talk and have plans, but once that bell rings, all of those plans are gonna go out of the door. It's just gonna be us in that ring and he's gotta go through me first. But it's just a part of the game. I got bigger plans after the Cotto fight too. After I beat him, I hope Mayweather is watching. I hope he is watching the fight and gives me an opportunity to fight him. I just want the biggest names in boxing. I want to earn the spot on Saturday night to fight the best. It's all motivation, you know!



PC: It's fight week, so I won't keep you long. I will get you out of here with this one. Perfect case scenario for you, how does this fight end on Saturday night?



DR: Me being victorious. I'm going to win this fight. I'm going to do everything it takes to win this fight on Saturday night. You will see a different Delvin Rodriguez. I'm in a position to stop Cotto from whatever he plans on doing and I will. I have 12 rounds to win the fight and that's what's on my mind is just to win this fight.



PC: I wish you the best of luck and we will speak afterwards. Is there anything you want to add for your fans because you are getting a lot of love on Twitter?



DR: Yeah brother, I got a lot of love for my fans, man; they support me no matter what. I want all of them to watch the fight and if you can't be here in Orlando, watch it on HBO. It's going to be an exciting fight between two warriors going against each other. It's going to be a great fight and a very exciting night of boxing.
