JS: That’s neatly leads me onto my next question. Despite your impressive resume, it has taken a while for you to be granted a title shot in a major organisation. Are you only now being paid your dues in being finally acknowledged as one of the best Lightweights in the world
JM: I hope people overlook me. I’ve been paying my dues for a while, beating ranked guys. But I really don’t care. I’m gonna smash Gilbert, get a nice paycheque and then onto the next one.
JS: Do you attribute the fact that you’ve never properly been KO’d to your elusive style, or granite chin
JM: I’d say it was a combination of both. I haven’t got the greatest chin of all time, but I have a solid chin. I take good shots all the time. But more than anything, it’s probably my elusive style. One of the first things I learnt in boxing was the defensive aspect, how to move my legs and head. During my fights, I only tend to get hit a few times cleanly, if that.
i been sayin jorge will win since this fight was announced. the more hype gil gets, the more of an underdog jorge becomes, the more ill get paid once its over :)
Buenos dias UG faithful...I conducted this interview with Jorge, and I'm glad to see that nobody is underestimating Gamebred's chances...he's a beast, and his focus is at an all-time high...next SF LW champion no doubt
Yeah I'm pretty confident Jorge takes this one. I think it will be a great fight but in the end it will just be jorge's starting block and YouTube will be loaded down with Jorge vs ray and masvidal highlights. :-)

There's Hector, Jorge, that Romero dude that Feijao put to sleep, is that it?</blockquote><br /><br />There's frank mir, hector lombard, jorge masvidal, yoel romero, alexis vila, javier vasquez.<br /><br />They're all that come to mind right now.
