I could have been born on the moon, but I\u2019m still Puerto Rican<\/p>\n<p><strong>[On fighting in Puerto Rico]<\/strong> \u201cIt means a lot to me. Everybody in the stands is going to be Puerto Rican. I\u2019ve never had that before. Even though I\u2019m from Philly, that\u2019s not my heritage. It\u2019s important for me to reach out to my fans because I think Puerto Rican boxing needs this right now. I think that Puerto Rico is going to accept me as its own after I win on March 15. Philadelphia might be my birthplace, but Puerto Rico is my blood.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Angel Garcia, Garcia\u2019s Father and Trainer<\/strong>: \u201cMarch 15 is going to be like no other. Herrera has never fought a Puerto Rican and my son Danny is 100 percent Puerto Rican. My wife and I are both Puerto Rican, and like it or not, Danny is Boricua. It\u2019s always been a dream of his to fight in Puerto Rico, so we\u2019re happy to see that coming to pass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mauricio Herrera:<\/strong> \u201cI know this is a huge opportunity, and I\u2019m going to take full advantage of it. To have a shot at Danny\u2019s belts has been a dream of mine for a long time. Danny Garcia is an intelligent and tough fighter, but so am I. I\u2019m coming to Puerto Rico and I know there is a lot of pressure, but hopefully they will support me too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Juan Manuel \u201cJuanma\u201d Lopez:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m excited about this great opportunity. I have the people of Puerto Rico confident in me and their support means everything to me. I\u2019m prepared for this fight and I know that it\u2019s going to be a tough one. I\u2019m going to give it my all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daniel Ponce De Leon:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m happy to be here in Puerto Rico. I\u2019ve been training hard and I\u2019m ready for this rematch. It\u2019s been five years [since our last fight] and I know that JuanMa is going to come in strong. He\u2019s a great fighter, but I\u2019m coming in fully prepared for this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peter Rivera, Vice-President of Puerto Rico Best Boxing: \u201cIn all of these years as boxing promoters, we never saw an enthusiasm like today by the fans for this event.
