“All of Tijuana will rejoice when one of their own claims the vacant Mexican title,” exclaimed Magallanes, Mexico’s No. 1-rated middleweight contender. “I never lose and Olmeda will find out why this Friday night!”
Olmeda, the No. 2-rated Mexican middleweight contender, responded, “I have seen Magallanes’ record and believe me, he has NEVER fought any as tough as me. It will be a joyous night for me, not for Magallanes and his fans. Once the bell rings, he will be all alone in the ring with me and THAT is not a safe place for him!”
