“After what Dana said about his last fight, Hall is definitely in a must-win situation,” Leben said. “We both kind of are, and that’s what makes this fight exciting. It seems like this is one of those fights where the winner stays, and the loser walks. It feels like that kind of a deal.
“This is definitely a matchup for the fans. We are polar opposites, Uriah Hall and I. He’s athletic. He’s fancy, but when the going gets tough, sometimes Hall gets going.
“I’m the dead opposite. There isn’t anything fancy about my game. I’m not the most athletic fighter in the world. I’ve won so many fights I should have lost on sheer grit alone. And I know that. I know that coming into this fight it is going to be straight punches and basics that win this fight for me.
“It’s going to be moving forward and forcing this guy to continue to fight and hopefully somewhere along the line we are going to break him. We are going to get him out in that deep water, and he’s going to fail to keep his head above.”
