Danny Garcia: ”I know I’m the better all-around fighter. I can just do more in the ring than Shawn Porter, period.”

Shawn Porter: ”I’m ready to do whatever it takes to win this fight. There’s nothing I’ve ever wanted in my entire life more than this.”

The telecast also features a welterweight title eliminator between Yordenis Ugas and Cesar Barrionuevo and a heavyweight clash between former heavyweight champion Charles Martin and unbeaten Adam Kownacki.

Yordenis Ugas: “My opponent is going to try to make a big name for himself, but it’s my job to study him and make adjustments in the ring to get him out of there.”

Cesar Barrionuevo: ”I know that my power and my relentlessness will make this an exciting fight for the fans. I hope that Ugas is not underestimating me, because I want him to be at his very best.”
