“What I wanted was to get back in shape, work on some things technically. I'm training with Pablo and my coaches. Getting back into rhythm. It's time to develop other things technically, but the thing I want to develop most is my knockout power. Sometimes I feel like I'm playing it safe too much. On one hand, I think that's great because I'm preserving myself more and more. But I know that on the other hand, it prevents me from having the highlights, from having those knockouts, like Prates and Topuria,” said Caio Borralho.
