"[To Oscar De La Hoya] You've done a hell of a job with Victor Ortiz's career. "I've fought them all, never backed down, stayed focused and was always at my best.

I have done it the hard way and have overcome every obstacle in my way to get to the same place. I don't think he'll show me anything I haven't already seen.

I've had dreams and have set goals, and now my dream is coming true and my goals are being met. "I am hungry for a win. I'm not here to test if I can do this. I am here because I know I will win. "My whole life in boxing has been about challenges. I'm ready for this one. I'm here and I'm ready for it. "I know I'm very young and a lot of you might think it's too early. I'm going to show you what I can do. Viva Mexico!" Jessie Vargas, Undefeated Super Lightweight Contender "It is an honor to be on this fight card with such big legends of boxing like the best pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather, who is also my boss.
