EDUARDO RAMIREZ<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t miss this fight because we\u2019re going in there to entertain. I\u2019m going to be smart and execute the game plan, but I\u2019ll be ready to exchange when the time comes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very motivated for this fight. I can\u2019t lose focus, because my only goal is to win Sunday night and earn my shot at the world title. I\u2019m looking for victory however I can achieve it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cMy people back home know that this is a tough fight, but they know what I\u2019m capable of doing inside the ring. I\u2019m going to go in there and give them what they\u2019re looking for.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

ISAAC CRUZ<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI really feel the love from my Mexican people here in Los Angeles. This is going to be a great clash of styles that the fans will love, but our only goal is to win.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very happy with everything we did in training camp. Ramirez is an experienced fighter who is always prepared. But we prepared for anything he\u2019s going to bring.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows what to expect in a \u2018Pitbull\u2019 Cruz fight. I\u2019m just going to stick to the game plan and do what I always do. I feel sharp and ready to go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
