"It would be best if I could get a KO," Tanaka, who has won WBO belts in three lighter weight divisions, said Monday at his gym in Nagoya. "I don't want to win in an anticlimactic showing."
"The important thing is to prevent an opponent who comes forward from hitting me," Tanaka said of the Mexican fighter.
