MTA: You have an upcoming fight with Malaipet, how has training been going?
Justin: Training for this fight has been great. My coach went to Thailand for the last few weeks, which was hard. But, I'll have some time to work with him before I go and I have been working harder than ever and I'm in better shape than ever before.
MTA: How familiar are you with Malaipet and his fight style?
Justin: Malaipet? I've heard of him before. No, I'm just kidding. I've seen him fight many times and I am pretty familiar with his style.
MTA: Is there anything you see in Malaipet's fight style that you feel can play to your advantage?
Justin: I know that with the way fights are scored here, I can push the pace throughout the fight and that will help.
MTA: You have a few inches in Malaipet; do you feel your size will come into play at all in the fight?
Justin: He might be a few inches shorter. He's fought all different weights. He's used to fighting bigger opponents. But, it might help me a bit.
MTA: You recently defeated Bernie Mendieta in the UK, after a big win like that do you feel that carrying that momentum helps you prepare for a fight against someone like Malaipet?
Justin: My fight against Bernie was a good one. He is a real tough opponent and no matter what I put on him, he kept coming. It was a good test for me and I felt sharp. It definitely helps my confidence for this fight. Still, that's a decent break for me; sometimes I'm fighting every few weeks.
MTA: What can fans expect to see from you come fight time?
Justin: You can expect the best me you've ever seen. I'm in full on beast mode and I'm coming to bring it.
MTA: Can we get a prediction for the fight?
Justin: I predict that I’ll be shocking a lot of people and taking home another green strap.
