Raymond Ford probably doesn't notice it, but he places a ton of pressure on himself.

It’s what he always does. He talks a big game, and more often than not, he backs it up. Yet, even with a clear win over Abraham Nova this past weekend on a DAZN PPV at ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Ford revealed that it wasn’t a performance he was proud of.

“I didn’t really like it too much,” Ford said to The Ring immediately after.

Upset with how he fought, Ford elaborated on what he felt he did wrong.

“I allowed him to rough it up a little bit, and I kind of fought into his game,” Ford continued while shaking his head. “I was also trying to force a big shot to get a knockout, but it’s a learning experience. I’m a get better from this and I’m a learn.”

Although he didn’t show up and show out, a win's a win. Now, the New Jersey native is hoping to get his hands on one of the champions at 130 pounds.

Ford (18-1-1, 8 KOs) isn’t picky, but he’s let the world know time and time again that he wants to fight O’Shaquie Foster, the division’s WBC belt holder.

Still, if Foster isn’t available, Ford is willing to face anyone with a title. The problem, however, is he doesn't believe the feeling is mutual.

Considering that he didn’t look as smooth as he normally does, Ford is hoping to turn that negative into a positive.

“I’m hoping they look at this performance and create some confidence to get up in there with me,” Ford continued. “I’m a be world champion again real soon.”
