Back at the Finca I run around the track, hit the bags and box several rounds.
Two rounds with Ernesto Deleón at 57 kg and two rounds with César Rodríguez at 67 kg.
With Deleón I let him catch me to test his power, I fail to feel the 3 kg difference, it is not noticeable.
Rodríguez asks me to throw my fastest combinations so that he can improve his reflexes. I catch him many times, but my blows are light.
Urrutia speaks to me again, he tells me I must practice boxing at long distance. To use my jab and then create distance.
He says if I do this I have I better chance of defeating De La Torre.
