00:00But what did it feel like to land that right hand tonight against an 11-year veteran in
00:05Alejandro Espinoza?
00:06I just want to give all glory to God.
00:09I want to thank all the beautiful New York fans, my boys, my Mexicans, my Latinos.
00:17Thank you for showing out.
00:19Just a Mexican kid, you know, trying to make it to the top.
00:23So 26 years ago, my father fight here and history repeats itself.
00:29If I could be half as great as my father was, I'd make it a long way, so I want to thank
00:35my father.
00:36Come here, my brother.
00:37I love you.
00:38I love you.
00:39I love you with all my heart, and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
00:42And you're going to pick me up, and I'm going to be world champion real soon, 3-4 fights.
00:46Let's go, baby.
00:47Top 15 in the world, 15-0.
00:50I'm coming for all the belts.
00:52Walk me through that finish because you landed that pull counter right, and then it looked
00:57like Espinosa was going to get up, and then all of a sudden, he was rolling on the canvas.
01:01Alexander Espinosa is the most experienced fighter I've ever fought.
01:05I was ready for 15 rounds tonight.
01:09You know, it's a blessing that I got to do it so quick.
01:13They don't pay me for overtime, though, you know, so I had to get it done fast.
01:17But like I said, I'm ready for top elite competition.
01:22My skills are going to continue to show through.
01:24Glory to God.
01:25Thank you to my team, and thank you to the beautiful New York fans.
01:28Thank you so much.
01:29I love you.
01:30You don't never say they don't pay overtime in a union town like New York City.
01:34But look, you just got a phone call from Mauricio Suleiman.
01:37What was that conversation like?
01:39I told him, he said he was proud of me, but I told him there's going to be a new WBC champion
01:45soon, and it's going to be Emiliano Fernando Vargas El General.
01:50Your mom finally made it out here, your sister made it out here, you turned this into a party.
01:54What does it mean for you to fight in a place like this?
01:57It's legendary.
01:58That's it.
01:59Every legendary fighter has fought at the Madison Square Garden.
02:03I've never been to New York before.
02:05It was a blessing to see my beautiful mother, who's the glue to the family, have fun in Central
02:09Park, my little sister, you know, my girl, everybody, just because of what I'm doing
02:15and what we're doing as a family.
02:17So boxing's so ugly, but it brings my family together.
02:20I love you, look how beautiful my mama is, look at her.
02:24And just finally for me, I want you to tell the people what it is you want to do to boxing
02:29after what you've seen happen to your father and your family.
02:32I want to be the best fighter.
02:34If I could be half the fighter my father was, I'd go a long way, like I said.
02:38So I just want to continue to win.
02:40My father taught me how to be a winner, and that's all I'm going to do.
02:43I'm going to continue to win.
02:44Thank you very much.
