\"PM<\/a>“Garcia is going to get hit so hard, his dad’s sunglasses are getting knocked off his face!”–Buddy Ruffin, JR., Coffeyville, KS – President of Paulie Malignaggi Is the Greatest Boxer of All Time Fan Club (3 members, but we just formed the club yesterday)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN and undercard fighters held a final press conference Thursday at B.B. Kings Blues Club & Grill in Times Square as they near Saturday\u2019s showdowns at Barclays Center. The event is headlined by undefeated star Danny \u201cSwift\u201d Garcia (30-0, 17 KOs) as he makes his 147-pound debut against two-time world champion Paulie \u201cThe Magic Man\u201d Malignaggi (33-6, 7 KOs). Also middleweight world champion Daniel \u201cThe Miracle Man\u201d Jacobs (29-1, 26 KOs) defends in his hometown against former world champion Sergio \u201cThe Latin Snake\u201d Mora (28-3-2, 9 KOs).<\/p>\n

Here is what the participants had to say Thursday:<\/p>\n

Danny Garcia<\/strong>: \u201cWe had a tremendous camp, I\u2019ve never felt so strong in my life. For the first time in my career I can actually train to get better. We\u2019re just focused on training. We did everything in camp \u2013 we even chased chickens. I accomplished a lot at 140-pounds and I\u2019m going to do a lot at 147. On Saturday at Barclays Center you\u2019re going to see a spectacular Danny Garcia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be known as a great Philadelphia fighter and a great Puerto Rican fighter. I\u2019m the first Puerto Rican from Philly to ever be a world champion. I have the Philly skills and toughness with the Puerto Rican blood, it\u2019s the perfect mixture. I\u2019ve watched Paulie fight my whole career. He\u2019s a tough veteran and I\u2019m sure he\u2019s got some tricks up his sleeve. I just have to go in there and stick to business on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cBarclays Center is my home away from home. We have a nice routine when we\u2019re in Brooklyn. We keep it simple. I pay attention to the positive things in my career and that\u2019s getting in the gym and working hard and getting better. That\u2019s my main focus. Everything is better at 147. I feel stronger. My form feels good. The footwork is great. I can eat regularly now. Still disciplined but it\u2019s a lot easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paulie Malignaggi:<\/strong> \u201cFor Danny\u2019s team, it\u2019s only about him and for me it\u2019s all about myself. My best versus his best. This is a big opportunity from me, professionally and personally. My career started 14 years ago in Brooklyn and people think it\u2019s going to end Saturday in Brooklyn, but I\u2019m not letting that happen. It\u2019s been an emotional camp. I find myself thrust back into the limelight of a major fight when it was least expected. The question marks and doubts come up in my mind and that\u2019s made it emotional. I work hard every day. I\u2019ve quietly had one of my best training camps<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no excuses here. Saturday night is the best of Paulie Malignaggi. I look forward to testing myself against the best Danny Garcia. I\u2019ve always loved and relish the big names and the big opportunities. Sometimes I lay in bed at night thinking about matchups between fighters. Now I\u2019m thinking of myself in that conversation and we\u2019ll fin out on Saturday how I stack up. Quietly but surely, I\u2019m very confident about Saturday night. I\u2019m bringing my best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Jacobs:<\/strong> \u201cThis is another great opportunity to showcase my skills. I\u2019m on a good knockout streak and I feel confident about this fight. Sergio Mora is a Rubik\u2019s cube, you have to figure him out. He\u2019s crafty and I have the utmost respect for him. I\u2019m 100 percent confident in my ability to go out there and put on a good show. I hear Sergio is coming here to knock me out and if that\u2019s the case this is going to be a real exciting fight. I look forward to it because I\u2019m coming forward and if two guys are doing that it\u2019s going to be a great fight. I\u2019m excited to give these Brooklyn fans a great fight. I love being at home and seeing all of the familiar faces I\u2019ve seen since the amateur days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sergio Mora:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m excited to fight at Barclays Center. Brooklyn is beautiful and has great fans. Lou DiBella is about to have another fighter named Sergio as a middleweight champion after Saturday night. I think this is going to be a really successful fight because of all the stars up here. It\u2019s a great event for boxing fans. I\u2019m a grown man now and I\u2019m looking to become a two-time world champion. This is my third time at a middleweight title shot but the first time an opponent showed up. I\u2019m excited and ready to go. I\u2019m thankful for everyone who has opened the door for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is it. Daniel is strong in the ring. He\u2019s a powerful, confident champion. He\u2019s not used to losing and he\u2019s used to hitting his targets, but I\u2019m the total opposite of that. It\u2019s going to be tough for him. Until he gets in there with me and realizes how tough I am, then he\u2019s going to realize he has a challenge coming to him. I want to take him out of his element. It\u2019s a big burden to be a hometown fighter and he\u2019s going to realize that. It\u2019s detrimental to be fighting in your hometown and I think he\u2019s too young to realize that. It\u2019s going to be to my advantage on fight night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel Garcia, Danny\u2019s Father & Trainer<\/strong>: \u201cDanny had a great camp. It was an awesome camp and he\u2019s going to make a lot of noise. We\u2019re not taking Malignaggi lightly, but we\u2019ve come to win. We don\u2019t come to lose. It\u2019s not about Malignaggi, it\u2019s about Danny. People can say whatever they want to say but we\u2019re coming to make noise at 147. We\u2019re not running from anybody. I promise you Danny will be the world champion at 147. I\u2019ve seen visions of it. This is going to be a great fight and then after that anybody can get it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
