CANELO ALVAREZ
"These fans motivate me to keep training and to get up in the morning and run.

"I want people to say that I came up from Mexico to the boxing world. It's a big responsibility for me because in Mexico there are a lot of legends. But our legends cannot be compared to any others. No two Mexican legends are alike.

"Lara has talked a lot, [to the fans] you guys asked for the fight, and here it is. What you guys ask from me, I will give you.

"A lot have asked me, 'Why did you take this fight?' I say 'Why not? I will fight anyone. Style doesn't matter.'

"The reality is that a year ago the fans didn't really know Lara.  Nobody really knew him.  But he's been talking so much that now it's built up and the fans asked for it so I wanted to give them what they wanted.

"He disrespected me.  But not only me, he disrespected all Mexicans.  For him to be saying that he's going to give me a boxing lesson and he's going to take me to school...that's very disrespectful."

ERISLANDY LARA
"For the Mexican fans, we have a surprise for you July 12.
"I came from Cuba where I fought the best. I earned this in the ring, fighting the best in the division, not on a Mexican street corner.

"July 12 the best man is going to win.

"I've always done my job against the best fighters in the division. I've faced a lot of hard punchers so I'm not worried about his power.

"Canelo knows, just like everyone in the division knows. No one wants to fight me because I'm dangerous and I beat everybody. He took this fight because of the pressure I put on him.

"I feel like my opponent needs to be ready for my style. I'm not looking to be ready for anyone's style. They have to be ready for mine.

"I've been in this sport since I was 12-years-old. It's all I've done my whole life. I am a fighter. I'm not distracted in the ring or in training. My main focus is being well prepared and winning this fight.

"A win would be huge for Cubans and Cuban-Americans. That's why I changed my name to 'The American Dream.' I came to this country and I was allowed the privilege to better my life. I go into that ring to win.

"I feel I'm one of the top three-pound-for-pound fighters. Some give me that credit but some won't. My job is to keep winning and doing what I'm doing. The proof is in who I've fought and beaten."
