“Canadian Kid” Confident of Another KO of South Africa’s “Panther”

TORONTO, ON – (Tuesday, March 23, 2010) Tuesday afternoon, “The Canadian Kid” Steve Molitor (31-1, 12 KO’s, IBF #2 Junior Featherweight) spoke to the media during an open workout in preparation for his battle with IBF #1 ranked Takalani “The Panther” Ndlovu (30-5, 18 KO’s) for the vacant IBF Junior Featherweight world title, in the main event of Rumble at Rama XI, Saturday, March 27th at Casino Rama, in Rama, Ontario.

On his preparation and approach for an opponent for he’s already handled easily (9th round TKO win in 2007)

“I’ve had a great camp, and brought in some great sparring partners. I’m healthier and stronger than ever heading into a fight. And given the fact that I’ve already smacked him around the ring once, I know what to expect out of him. Come Saturday night I’m going to reclaim my title.”

On Ndlovu’s pre-fight trash talk, including accusing Molitor of choking in his 2008 loss to Celestino Caballero

“Talk is so cheap. And he’s done a lot of it for this fight. But cheap or not, he’s going to pay for every word, trust me.”

“He should be less concerned about what I did against Caballero, and worry about how I beat him around the ring in our first fight.”

On getting the chance to win a second world title, and if he’s still the same fighter he was prior to the Caballero fight.

“Boxing is unlike any other sport. If I was in the NHL, a two-game losing streak wouldn’t mean I couldn’t win the Stanley Cup. But in boxing, one tough loss set me back a year and a half. That’s the nature of the sport, it’s brutal and unforgiving, but I’m seriously and honestly at the top of my game, and ready for another lengthy title reign beginning Saturday night.”

On what he expects differently out of Ndlovu on Saturday night.

“Other than him getting knocked out a lot sooner, nothing at all.”
