"I took this fight because no prospects want to do this," said Ryan Garcia. "I want to do it. I don't want to fight old veterans. I don't want to fight ex-champions that are already washed up. I want to show everyone what I'm made of, and this is the perfect fight to do this. We're two young fighters. What other young fighter is doing this?"

"A win over Ryan Garcia would mean a lot to me," said Romero Duno. "I know that Ryan is very famous, and there are a lot of people who think I can't beat him. I need to show them that I can fight against a fast boxer like him. It's going to be a tough fight."
