JOSE RAMIREZ, U.S. OLYMPIAN AND FORMER UNIFIED WORLD CHAMPION:
"First of all I want to thank God. It's always nice to see such amazing stars; my 2012 Olympic Teammates and great fighters like Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Oscar Duarte on the undercard. It's quite an honor for me to be a part of boxing, and to be a part of boxing in the Central Valley. We're thankful for all the fans, we're thankful for all the supporters and the sponsors.

"I am ready for this Saturday. My goal is to get back on top and to get all those belts back. I still feel like I am one of the best 140-pounders in the division. I plan on making a statement on Saturday, and that's what I was working on in the gym. Thank you to Oscar and to Golden Boy for the opportunity."

VERGIL ORTIZ, JR., UNDEFEATED SUPER WELTERWEIGHT CONTENDER:
"I don't have too much to say right now. All everyone should know is that we had a great training camp, trained hard, and had incredible sparring. I like running - I ran a lot. I really don't have anything else to say aside from that I love Fresno, and I can't wait for you all to come out and watch our fights come Saturday night."

OSCAR DE LA HOYA, CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS:
"We have an absolutely stacked card Saturday night in Fresno. We have a slew of top prospects looking to advance to contender status. We have world championship gold on the line in the Women’s flyweight division. We have a true crossroads match between two longtime Golden Boy fighters looking to rebound and get back on the championship track. And we have two of the best and best-known boxers in the world topping the card in separate fights, looking to impress and take another step towards glory. From top-to-bottom, people aren’t going to miss this barnburner of a Golden Boy card."
