Dominick Guinn jumps rope during an open media workout Wednesday in Reno. In the most important fight of his career, Guinn challenges IBA heavyweight champion James Toney Saturday on SHOWTIME (9:15 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast). In the co-feature, Chris Byrd defends his IBF heavyweight crown against mandatory challenger DaVarryl Williamson.
Said Guinn:
"All I can say is that I am ready and it is fight time. I am ready to show my ability and quiet the critics. I know what I have, and what I have are good skills.
"My last few fights have been bad but everything happens for a reason. I have no complaints.
"The difference between this fight and the others is my mindset. I am totally focused. I am not thinking about other stuff like I had been before. I have rededicated myself to the sport.
"James Toney is a great fighter. But for all his experience I think his style is perfect for me.''
