Jalil Hackett (9-1, 7 CO’s) was about to avenge his December loss to Jose Roman (14-1, 6 cost) on Saturday, March 15 in the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. At the press conference of yesterday, he looked ready and prepared to deliver a spectacular show.
And said they have a new WBA Continental North America Welterweight Champion or as they say in Puerto Rico, ‘Y El Nuevo,’ translates to, ‘and the new.’ He has the Warrior mentality, where you tackle difficult battles to prove your value, you beat tough opponents and demonstrate your greatness. He does not believe in building your resume with soft opponents. He wanted nothing more than to avenge his loss and continue his way.
After the press conference, however, he suffered which could be described as a freak accident. As he comes out of the sauna, he slides and injures his right foot. “I came from the sauna, you know how the sauna got two levels, so on my way down from one of the levels I slipped and lost my foot type. Instead of landing on my foot like flat, I end up on the ball of my ankle. My sh*t swollen immediately. ”Said Jalil when asked about the injury.
He was visibly upset and disappointed that he couldn’t fight this Saturday. He did say he intends to reproduce the re -broadcast with Jose Roman for this summer. Many fans looked forward to the re -broadcast and the question of it remains great. With a full recovery, Jalil can do his promise well and avenge his loss. Roman was received in the December match with a split decision victory, with two judges scoring it 96-94 for Roman, and the third to benefit Hackett 96-94. Hackett seems to control the early rounds by targeting the body, but it seemed to slow down in the middle to late rounds.
Jalil asked this battle, despite the fact that he offered other battles. “I don’t have to fight this battle, Matchroom did not even offer this battle, they first offered other battles. My team didn’t want this fight. I said I want this fight because that’s the guy I just lost to. This is something I was more than anxious, more than ready. This is one of my better camps I had, you know. It’s just a heart strings. “
