“Before the end of the second round he will fall, I will knock him out. I'm going to press a lot, I'm not going to give you space. It's a fight that if I win on points, I'll end up exhausted, but he'll end up dead, because I did mine camp rice and beans, well done, nothing crazy, but with a lot of pressure. I'm very prepared to beat him in three rounds. With '15 minutes and 1 second' my arms will collapse but until this fight is over I will be on my feet and pressing on,” said Manfio.

After debuting with victory over Joilton Peregrino in the 2021 season of the lightweight tournament (up to 70,3kg), 'Cavalo de Guerra' could secure a place in the semi-finals in case of triumph over 'Showtime'. The Brazilian fighter has a history of 12 positive results and three negative results in his professional career.
