http://ThePugilistReport.com DANNY GARCIA VS. MAURICIO HERRERA Final Press Conference in Puerto Rico!
Danny Garcia and Mauricio Herrera participated in the final press conference at Braulio Castillo Theater, Bayamon, Puerto Rico.
What the fighters and executives said Wednesday:
DANNY "SWIFT" GARCIA, UNIFIED SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION
"I had a tremendous camp. This Saturday I'm going to win for my people in Puerto Rico and take my belt home with me.
"I love it here in Puerto Rico. I love the weather and the beautiful people. Everything about the culture is like where I grew up in Philadelphia. It's just like Puerto Rico but it's just the city life. But it's the same thing. We eat the same food. We listen to the same music. Everything is the same but it's just a little part of North Philadelphia. Everything is the same except for the snow.
"I trained in Philadelphia. I had a good training camp in Philadelphia. I did everything I was supposed to do. I didn't take shortcuts. I came to Puerto Rico a week before the fight for my training. I'm 110 percent. I'm in the best shape. I am ready. I did what I always do and I'm ready."
MAURICIO "EL MAESTRO" HERRERA, SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT CONTENDER
"I started boxing with my two brothers when I was 13 with no gear, bare hands. My father used to watch and get a good laugh out of it. My older brother got me my first punching bag but my mother was the first one that took me to the gym, to a gym at a church. I truly have the support of my family.
"I trained well, very well. I don't take this fight lightly; fighting Danny is not something to take lightly. But I've fought guys tougher than him for peanuts.
"My biggest purse before this fight was $30,000. I've worked in construction and other handy jobs. This is my opportunity. This is my chance and I'm not about to let it pass me by."
