“Coton” stated at the end of the ceremony he had a hard time making the weight, and said that will get to the fight in top physical and technical conditions”. “This happened because one is getting big, I trained as if it was me who was challenging or the title. I worked well wrapped to dehydrate but when I arrived from Mendoza I was a kilo over the limit” added the 30-year-old boxer.
When both fighters posed for the photographers, it was clear a major height difference, but Reveco said in dialogue with Power Soccer is “I am used to face taller boxers.” “On one hand it is convenient, because I can work well on the body of the opponent.
