ISAAC “PITBULL” CRUZ
“I’m here in San Antonio ready to go. I can’t wait for the first bell to ring Saturday night.
“He’s in trouble too. He might have his hands tied. It’s gonna be a great night, we’re gonna make sure of it.
“I could have never imagined five years ago when I was fighting in San Antonio that I’d be here now, but this is the fruits of my hard work. I want to keep progressing and evolving and doing big things.
“I know what my fans expect of me, and I’ve done everything I could in training camp to deliver on Saturday night.
“I hope he doesn’t run. It’s all about the fans and they want to see us go toe-to-toe. I’ll be ready to go for as long as he’s able to withstand the pressure.
“It’s all about being focused, smart and winning round after round.”
LAMONT ROACH
“I’m just excited to show off my skills. Nothing’s changed. We’re here to boogie. Let’s go Saturday night.
“I pride myself on how I came along in this professional journey. We all worked hard and we all got up to this stage.
“Everybody knows I like to throw. There’s gonna be some moments where the cameras better be ready. He’s throwing missiles in there and I’m gonna throw them back.
“We know what kind of fight Pitbull will bring, but we’ll be ready for everything. Anyone who’s watched me knows that I can adapt to anything.
“When I took that bump in the road, I looked at myself outside of my body and asked if this is where I wanted to be. I counted my chickens before they hatched. I definitely thought I had it in the bag in that first world title fight. That’s something that I never wanted to feel ever again in my life.”
STEPHEN FULTON JR.
“I’m just ready at this point to become a three-division world champion. I’m gonna get it done.
“I go after champions, no matter who. It coulda been somebody else. I go after champions. That’s what I do.

“This is just another day, another dollar, another fight. Everybody up here took a hard road. We’re all just trying to be world champions.

“I’m ready all the way around. I feel good. This is the best mood I’ve been in on fight week in a long time. I’ve been ready.
“I’m here for a reason. I feel like I came out of the woodwork a little different. I’m gonna keep showing it.
“Last time we were here we put on a great performance and I plan on repeating it. I feel like his journey was sweet compared to mine. I came from the bottom and I’ve been grinding ever since.
“I feel like they think that they see something, like I’m a weak link for something. I’m gonna go out there and show them that they made the wrong choice.”
ERISLANDY LARA
“All I have to say is that I’m ready for December 6. I can’t wait.
“It’s all about working hard in the gym, both mentally and physically. Those hard days in the gym are the secret to being where I am right now.
“I’m gonna do what I always do, show up and show out. The message to the rest of the division is that the champion is still here.”
JOHAN GONZALEZ
“I came here to win. This is absolutely the biggest fight of my career and I’m ready to take the world title. That’s my mission on Saturday night.

“This is my first time in San Antonio and I can’t wait to put on a show for them on Saturday night. We’re ready to show our best.
“We used to watch his father all the time, so to be able to fight his son and win my first world title in front of a legend will mean a lot.
“It means a lot for my father and me to be here. We started out in the garage and now we’re here. We can make our dreams a reality. We’ve been enjoying it this whole camp and this whole fight week. It’s a big moment for me and my family.

“My dad won his first title with his dad in his corner and now I’m gonna win my first title with my dad in my corner.”
FRANK MARTIN
“I’m glad to be back. It’s been a minute, so I’m just excited. I’ve been working non-stop since my last fight. I’ve stayed active in the gym.
“I’ve got some new tricks in my bag that I’m ready to showcase and show everyone who I am as a fighter.

“I’m ready for what he’s bringing. When it’s time to figure out how to win the war, I’ll be more than prime to do so.
“I’m very proud to be seen as an up and coming star in Mexico. It makes me work even harder to show everyone what I’m capable of.”
ROBERTO VALENZUELA JR.
“I want to let the fans know that they can expect a great fight. It’s gonna be a war. It’s a can’t miss fight. I know that I’m gonna pull off the upset and give it my all.
“This is gonna be a war and I know I can win. This is gonna be two runaway trains going at each other. I’ve prepared to make sure I come out on top.
“I’m ready to shock the world and seize this opportunity that I’ve waited for my whole life. Winning this fight brings me one step closer to that goal.”
LUIS NUNEZ
