Pagliarulo expressed pride in his journey and reiterated the importance of persistence, offering encouragement to his younger self about continuing his dedication to training and competing.
I'm excited. That kid's never been TKO'd or KO'd. Everyone said it was going to be decision if I won so I'm happy to go in there and show I can do that to anyone in the world.
I've learned throughout my amateur career, and my early pro career, when you're focusing on it and trying to make it happen it doesn't happen. I just go in there and tell myself 15 minutes of work, 15 minutes of discipline.
This is just consistency. I'm like proud of myself, but it's also I've expected to be here. This is all I do.
I'd tell that kid like, 'Hey just keep doing what you're doing and good things are going to happen.'
