Chris John prepares special strategy in facing Fernando

Semarang - Indonesia`s WBA super feather champion Chris John said he has prepared a special strategy in facing his upcoming challenger, Fernando David Saucedo, in the title fight in Bali on May 22, 2010.

"A special strategy had been devised in facing Fernando," Chris John, dubbed the "Dragon", said in Semarang Sunday.

The pugilist, who hailed form Banjarnegara regency, Central Java, said he had watched and studied the film on the fight of his upcoming challenger and has become familiar with the fighting type of El Vasco, another name of Fernando David Saicedo.

According to Chris who has defended his title 12 times since he grabbed it from Colombian fighter Oscar Leon in Bali in 2003, Fernando is a true boxer, which means that he is not relying on hard blows, but resilience.

"May be because he has a longer reach, he relies more on techniques, but not too hard," he said.

When asked about his chances in the upcoming title fight against the Argentinian boxer, Chris said of course he is expecting a win.

Chris, who last defended his title against American boxer Rocky Juarez and won by points, said after training at Herry`s Gym in Perth, Western Australia, the training will be continued in Banyuwangi, East Java.

"I will be training at the Mirah Silver Boxing Camp, until the upcoming title fight," he said.
