Here’s what some of the participants had to say from their media workout: JOHN “SCRAPPY” RAMIREZ, NABA SUPER FLYWEIGHT TITLE HOLDER: "There are people out there doubting that I can do it. I love it; I love the haters because they give me more motivation to prove them wrong. "Fans can expect a great show on DAZN from me. I'm on my way up proving that I'm someone to watch." MANUEL “GUCCI” FLORES, BANTAMWEIGHT FIGHTER: "On fight night, we are going to come with a bang, baby! We're coming with fireworks, with explosiveness, something you guys haven't seen for a long time. We have a good opponent in front of us, so we're going to show you guys what we can do. "My opponent is a wild guy - he likes to throw a lot of crazy punches. The first round, we're going to see what he does; if he is going to come forward with that aggressiveness or go backwards." GRANT FLORES, SUPER WELTERWEIGHT PROSPECT: "It's a great privilege to make my debut on a Golden Boy card, in my hometown, in front of my friends, family and supporters. Fans can expect me to show up and bring fireworks. "I've been waiting for this opportunity to come - to be able to display my talent and my quality skills that I've been working hard on in the gym. I had a really great and extensive amateur career and the next stop is to become a world champion." ### Golden Boy Fight Night on DAZN is presented by Golden Boy Promotions.
