Michael "Midnight Stalker" Walker Responds to David Estradas Remarks!
By Juan C. Ayllon
(Chicago, IL): Michael "The Midnight Stalker" Walker (4-0-0, 4 KOs), who will be fighting David Estrada (6-1-0, 4 KOs) on Dominic Pesoli's "Latin Showdown" this Friday at Hawthorne Race Course, took exception to Estrada's remarks in his interview with the Cyber Boxing Zone. Here, then, is his response:
Mr. Ayllon,
I just read your interview with David Astrada.
First off I would like to thank my manager Octavius James and Team One In A Million Inc. for getting me this opportunity to show case my talent on national television.
David said that he will stop me. The only way David can stop me is if George Hernandez laces his gloves with bricks or something like that. David ought to be ashamed of his self to be talking like that. He knows me.
To set the record straight I beat him every time in the amateurs and he knows that. That's why it's so personal for him. I don't care how hard he has been training he still can't beat me on my worst day. I don't have any prediction I'm just coming to fight no questions about. When the bell rings on Friday we will see who is really ready for the next level.
Like Octavius told me don't get into a pissing contest outside of the ring save it for the inside of the ring. David has to remember two things first off is that this is not the amateurs and there is no head gear and two I'm not Shay Mobley. Estrada is just another fight before I move on to fight guy like Jesus Gonzalez and guys of that caliber.
But I'm not looking pass him but I know he is not on my level. I have Octavius who takes great care of me and has done good by me so I'm not going to let him down by losing to a guy like Estrada. He has brought great sparring into camp for me we had a great camp. My Trainers Carlos Jones and Martin McGarry have me ready and has given me the green light.
Also I want to thank Dominic and Top Rank. Plus I have a great incentive presented because Octavius told me he will plan a trip for me out to the Big Bear camp once I win this fight so I'm real real excited about that opportunity. Because as a young and up in coming fighter that's always been a dream of mine. When you hear that guy's like Oscar DeLahoya and Shane Mosley train out there and those are the guys I look up to. So I told my other stable mates Jermaine White and Johnny Novak to get there things packed because after Friday we are headed to Big Bear.
Thank you Juan Ayllon so much for your time and opportunity to give you the facts.
See you Friday.
Michael "Midnight Stalker" Walker
