He has worked with good boxers and is not someone who retreats, but moves forward. He likes exchangesand I like that style too. I think that from the first round whoever imposes his rhythm and hitting style will have the advantage. I hope that I will end the match with a knockout, but of course even if it goes to points anyway, it is important to win so that I welcome Pecara in the best possible light and to make it as good a show as possible in Germany, claims Zadro, which is for the readers of the portal Jabuka.tv revealed that the title defense in Široki Brijeg is planned for March 29.
