In the Ring and Beyond: Jose Pedraza Chats with Miguel Cotto
Miguel Cotto: Hey Jose! It’s been a while since I last saw you dominating the ring. How’s everything going?
Jose Pedraza: Miguel! It’s great to see you, man. Everything’s good. Just staying sharp and preparing for the next bout. How about you? Enjoying retirement?
Miguel Cotto: Retirement’s treating me well. Lots of family time and even more time to watch you guys put on a show. Speaking of which, your last fight – impeccable. What was your game plan going in?
Jose Pedraza: Thanks! For that one, I really focused on speed and footwork. I knew my opponent couldn’t match my movement, so I wanted to outmaneuver him, create openings, and capitalize when the time was right. What about your famous body shots? Any secret sauce there?
Miguel Cotto: Haha, no secret sauce. Just a lot of practice and a mentality to break my opponent down, round by round. Speaking of which, I’ve been watching your bodywork improve. Who’s been the biggest influence in that aspect for you?
Jose Pedraza: Honestly, studying your fights has been a huge part of it. The way you dismantle your opponents’ defenses – that’s textbook stuff. I’ve also been training hard on conditioning to maintain that stamina for sustained pressure. What advice would you give me to take it to the next level?
Miguel Cotto: Consistency is key, Jose. Keep evolving your style. Always look for new techniques and stay adaptable. Remember, the best boxers are the ones who can adjust in the heat of the moment. Oh, and never forget the mental game. Sometimes, that’s the hardest part.
Jose Pedraza: Absolutely, the mental game can be a beast. But with champions like you setting the bar, it brings out the best in all of us. Appreciate the advice, Miguel.
Miguel Cotto: Anytime, Jose. Keep pushing forward. The sky’s the limit for you. How about we hit the gym together someday soon? Old habits die hard.
Jose Pedraza: That sounds perfect. Let’s make it happen. Thanks again, Miguel. It’s always an honor to learn from the best.
Miguel Cotto: The honor’s mine, Jose. Keep shining, and see you in the ring!
