Comments from the camp

Steward: “He is the hardest punching featherweight I have ever come across. He hits like a light-heavyweight. By the time we have ironed out some of the flaws in his approach, he will be sensational.”

Riath Hamed : “Naz is very gregarious and people might have thought it would be hard for him to settle into the discipline of a training camp. But he knows there is work to be done, things to be learned, and he has settled into the place brilliantly. It has been very good for him and I think people will see the difference when he fights Soto.”

Naz quits the Poconos camp next week to move to the Kronk Gym in Detroit for final preperations.
