I'm most excited about the atmosphere that will be at The Belasco since it is sold out, and of course because it's my first time on TV in the U.S. I'm very excited." SANTIAGO "EL LOBITO" GUEVARA, Super Featherweight Prospect: "For this training camp, we have been working on a lot of conditioning, strength and speed. Winning this match would be a door opener.

I am really looking forward to being on TV for the first time and that motivates me. This is what I do for a living. I am always in shape I am always ready." Jason Quigley, Middleweight Prospect: "My training camp started in early January. I have been working on inside fighting, head movements and grinding down my opponents. I know my opponent is coming to fight, and it will be one hell of fight for sure." Roy "Pit Bull" Tapia, Super Bantamweight Prospect: "I have had eight weeks of training: strength condition, running stairs, hills and trails. I am going to go in the ring, keep my hands up and put pressure on my opponent.

I feel good, and I can't wait to fight in front of my family and friends." Emilio Sanchez, Super Bantamweight Prospect: "Training has gone good, I've been training hard and I'm already on weight. I'm going to use my jab to open up my opponent's defense and focus on hitting the body and get the win. I'm looking forward to fighting in front of all the LA fans at the sold out crowd.
