Carrillo's coming to pull out the upset, to take the win, because he knows the importance. He's also undefeated. So undefeated fighters are very, very, very dedicated to not losing. They go out there to do whatever it takes to continue having that undefeated record. And Najee Lopez is in the same position, also undefeated. So he knows that another win is just getting him closer and closer to those big fights, to becoming a big name. That's what he needed to get those kind of wins, those kind of performances, fight of the year, top of fight. And this could be another fight of the year, top of fight. So that's what Najee Lopez needed, and he's here now. So I'm happy for him here in the West Coast, Southern California. Beautiful for him to get all that exposure and get that fan base from California to start following him. That's what the Mexican fans love to see, the Latinos, not just Mexicans, but Latinos, you know, all those guys, they always brought in that fight, but wanted to give more to the crowd. They're not just comfortable with, okay, let me cruise to the win, because I already won the first six rounds, so let me just win one more round, and the fights might not. They don't see it like that. Even though they know they're winning every single round, they want to win by knockout because they want the fans to go home happy. That's what Najee Lopez does. That's what we want to bring to the boxing fans with Pro Box TV. Those type of fights, those type of fighters. And that's what we have. So, you know, that's what everybody loves to see, man.
