What would you say was weakest point in the first fight?
"Just train a lot harder than what I did.  Mindset of knowing you're in the best shape of your life and not just talking it. 

If you win this fight, will there be a 3rd fight?
"I don’t care.  Whoever they put in  front of me that’s who I will fight.  Public demands another fight he can’t beat me and I know that in my head.  I'll do everything.
Lou DiBella: I have some ideas and I've been looking into some fights for him. But right now we’ll only be focusing on Kelly.

How different is the anticipation this fight?
"It’s revenge now, more than anything, avenging my loss.
“it’s all about me this time, I’m not doing this for anyone else but me.  I was doing it half ass the last time...

Weight advantage?
“He’s the bigger guy and he’s going to need every pound.  I am going back to the basics.

Trainer change?
“I can’t say anything bad about Manny Steward, just that Ozell has been with me forever, you know.  We know each other very well.  Now it's about hard work, I’m doing the road work and waking up every morning and sparring 12 rounds...

Loss on the first fight…
“I took it for granted, and in boxing you can’t do that.  It’s about being in shape and Kelly proved that.  I know what it took to get there to the top and I didn’t do that the last time...
“It took a but kicking to put me back on track and that’s what I needed.  It’s sad to say but it helped me and I needed it...
“I’m not making excuses but making weight was hard. That was part of the fight.  That’s why we’re moving up to 166, and we were planning that as it is.  They’ll be no excuses after this fight.

Is a decision win good enough?
“Winnig a decision will satisfy me.  But I want it to be a whooping, a one sided fight.”

Trainer Jack Loew’s comments about Ozell Nelson…
“We’re not loosing sleep over the comments.  It’s not about that.  He can say what he wants.”
