Ironically, both happen to share the exact date of birth and a resilient mentality. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMexican fighters and Irish fighters are quite similar. We\u2019re both dogs and we like to scrap,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Fans have demanded to see mucho m\u00e1s acci\u00f3n from these two rivals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe beat me fair and square in that first round. But if it was a three-round fight and I had a full camp, I think it would be different. I have a feeling we\u2019re going to meet somewhere down the road,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he said he learned from his mistakes. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe had the better game plan going into that fight. He didn\u2019t want to strike with me; he just took me down and took mount. It wasn\u2019t very exciting. Didn\u2019t really do much [damage]. Once I reversed it, I tried to take as many shots as I could. I knew there wasn\u2019t much time left, so I knew I had to win by causing damage\u201d Lehane said. <\/p>\n<p>At barely 22 years old, Lehane made his debut in August of last year and has gotten five professional fights in, a significant amount of experience, especially for his age. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have only been signed since August, and that was my very first professional fight. I think I have proved my worth to the company, like who else would enter a tournament with five days&#8217; notice. I\u2019m the man who has stepped up to the mark.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Lehane will grace la Jaula once again this year, this time making a drop to featherweight.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cI\u2019m never the biggest guy; I\u2019m never the most ripped, or the strongest at lightweight. I haven\u2019t been taking advantage of that side of my game. This year I am going to make a title run at featherweight.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ireland\u2019s Patrick Lehane says the next time he meets Cristian \u201cPuas\u201d Perez in la jaula, the result will be different.
