MTA: Sergio you are fighting Virgil Zwicker on April 6th at the WCK Muay Thai show in Temecula, CA. How has training been going?
Sergio: I’ve trained for this fight like I’ve never trained before and I am very motivated to show the USA what I’m worth and to leave a very good impression.
MTA: Sergio what do you see as your biggest strength going into this fight?
Sergio: My biggest strength is that I’m coming prepared. I’m in shape as well when it comes to strength and technical skills.
MTA: In a recent interview Virgil stated you couldn’t take a punch. What was your reaction when you heard this?
Sergio: My first reaction was “yeah right”! Don’t know what he bases that on and I actually don’t care. Think he’s scared so I guess it’s a natural reaction from his side.
MTA: Do you think he is underestimating you and if so why?
Sergio: Don’t know if he’s underestimating me, but if that’s the case that’s fine by me too. We’ll see what happens!
MTA: Do you think the fact that he has this pre conceived notion about you not being able to take a punch plays as an advantage for you?
Sergio: Don’t know if it is an advantage. Either way he’s going down.
MTA: Anything you have to say to Virgil?
Sergio: Don’t know him and I hope that he’s prepared to fight me. Don’t want to hear afterwards that he did not have an optimal training and that’s the reason why he lost the fight.
MTA: Can we get a prediction for the fight on April 6th?
Sergio: I’ll take him down in the second round. That’s my prediction! He won’t see round three!
MTA: Are you coming in looking to score a knockout or simply get the win with a knockout being a bonus?
Sergio: I’m coming to hurt him.
MTA: Your brother Marco has had a great career do you feel any added pressure when people find out you are related to him?
Sergio: My brother is my motivation. To see what he has accomplished makes me want to do the same, even more if possible.
