CIANI: What do you think is the one thing you do best right now where you could really showcase your talents come Friday night?

WILLIAMS: The most important thing is that I could punch. I’ve been working on good defense and movement, a straight jab, but most of all just being patient and setting up the big shot, because it’s only going to take one shot for me.

CIANI: What are of your game do you feel right now that you could use the most improvement on?

WILLIAMS: Basically just staying focused, when I get hit don’t get riled up. Just staying focused, because if I get hit I want to hit right back. That’s not the good thing. You just stay calm and set it up, and use a lot of head movement, and I’ll be alright. Patience though is the most important thing.

JENNA: Seeing that you’re competing in the lightweight division, this particular weight class doesn’t really have a big star anymore. Juan Manuel Marquez is moving up to face Manny Pacquiao at a catch weight. So now it’s really wide open. Where do you see yourself in the division and do you think this is where you can really make your mark as a champion?

WILLIAMS: I know I’m top ten right now. You know I’m just learning and just gradually working my way up. I don’t want to rush anything. I just want to take my time and just be consistent with my fights so I can learn, because every fight you learn something. I just want to be consistent in fighting so I can learn so by next year I’ll be ready to contend with any one of the world champions.
