GERVONTA DAVIS:

โ€œI was in New York for the Thurman fight about three weeks ago and got off track a little bit. I was heavy there, but once I got back into the groove and back to training it was fine. I feel fine. Making 130 is not a problem. Itโ€™s not a distraction. I feel fine. Iโ€™m not dehydrated and my face isnโ€™t sunken. Iโ€™ll be ready to go tomorrow.โ€

HUGO RUIZ:

โ€œItโ€™s kind of expected. Heโ€™s missed weight before, so itโ€™s not surprising. I feel great at this weight of 130 pounds. This is the weight I want to be at. Iโ€™d fight every month if I could.โ€

MARIO BARRIOS:

โ€œThe meaning of this fight is to keep showcasing my talents and to represent my city of San Antonio. Of course Zamora is dangerous, but come Saturday night Iโ€™ll be more dangerous.

If it were up to me Iโ€™d be fighting for a world title tomorrow night.โ€

JAVIER FORTUNA:

โ€œIโ€™m not looking for the knockout. If it comes, it comes. If it doesnโ€™t come, then Iโ€™ll take it by decision.โ€
