Fighting Quote by Vicente Luque
“I watched a lot of 'Wonderboy' fighting and when I was in there I kind of was a little bit nervous, a little bit excited because I was fighting a guy that had already fought for the title. After that loss, I realize, man, these guys are just like me. They've worked their way up and they are there because they deserve it.”
