“I think Jake’s already intimidated/ Every bit of news I see on him, he’s very white, he’s very pale in the face, he looks like he’s been struggling for sleep.
“He doesn’t look confident to me. I’ve been in this game a long time, my whole family have, and we know the signs when we see them. I’ll leave Jake to have the sleepless nights.

“One shot is all it will take, and all it ever takes, especially with the likes of this guy, who’s never been hit right in his career.
