Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Barclays Center:
DANNY GARCIA
“Come October 18, I’m excited to show that I have fight left in me. My last fight didn’t go my way, but setbacks happen in boxing. I’ve always come back stronger every time. I always beat someone up bad, and that’s what I’m coming to do.
“I got a nickname for him. He says he’s the real ‘DG’ but he’s Dookie Gonzalez. And Dookie is going down. He can’t beat any version of Danny Garcia.
“For the first time in a long time, I feel like I really have a chip on my shoulder. I have to show the world again how great I really am.
“When I come to this building, I come to fight. I feel like I’m undefeated here with two controversial losses. When I’m here, I become possessed. I just want to win.
“I really feel like I have a personal connection to Brooklyn. It’s always electrifying. I love fighting here in Brooklyn.
“My last win is better than any win he’s got in his career. It’s about who you fight and come October 18 you’re gonna be in there with a different type of animal than you’ve never been with.
“I was training and I was in shape, but my heart and my soul wasn’t there leading into my last fight. That’s 85% of the sport. But now being back in Brooklyn I have the heart and spirit of a fighter and I’m ready to show it.”
DANNY GONZALEZ
“I’m coming to shock the world on October 18. I’ve been grinding for 20 years and working hard. I’ve been preparing since June for this. I want this to be his farewell to boxing, so I’m here to win.
“It’s all about hard work. I’m the hungrier fighter and that’s gonna be the difference. I’m coming to win. I’m on a streak and I’m gonna keep winning.
“Danny has no power left in him. I’m gonna bring the dog to the fight and we’re gonna see who’s got the bigger dog.
“I’m not worried about what he has to say. I’m gonna pull a Danny Garcia against Danny Garcia. I’m gonna shock the world like he did to Amir Khan. I’m gonna stop him like Erislandy Lara did in the ninth.
“I’m gonna out class him and out dog him. I’m gonna do whatever it takes to win the fight.”
CHRIS COLBERT
“I’m excited for this opportunity to be back in my hometown. I feel good. When Danny gave me the call about this card, I wasn’t thinking about coming back to boxing. But I couldn’t pass up this opportunity. I haven’t fought in New York in so long and there’s nothing like being home
“To see all the people that I know here at Barclays and all the people that will be here fight night, there’s nothing like it. I can’t wait.
“I don’t fall under pressure. I am the pressure. Where I come from, we’ve been through worse. I’m from these gritty streets of Flatbush. I just have a job to do and that’s to win by any means necessary.”
ANGEL GARCIA, Garcia’s Father and Trainer
“We’re doing it big for the future. It’s been a struggle and it’s been a journey. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t. No matter what happens.
“October 18 is gonna be a great fight. Gonzalez is coming to fight. But when we start dropping that left hand, I don’t know if he’s gonna be able to handle that. He’s gonna try to prove something.
“Come out and support Danny and Swift Promotions. We want to grow big. We’re excited to be with Millions.co and take this to the future.”
MOISES ROMAN, Gonzalez’s Manager
“Danny could have picked anyone to fight. He’s the man to beat. But Danny Gonzalez has sparred with the best of them. He’s been in camp with Danny Garcia, but we’re looking to cement that farewell.
“We’re coming to win and put the beats on him. We’re coming to make this a hell of a fight. Once it’s time to get in the ring, we’re gonna be there to win.”
MIKE FARRELL, President of Swift Promotions
“We’re really excited to have Danny back at Barclays Center. It’s historic that he’s coming back to say his farewell. It’s gonna be a hell of a night. Yes he’s from Philly, but everyone knows Brooklyn is his second hometown. He’s gonna do what he does in true Swift fashion.
“Don’t blink. because you can talk your talk, but when the lights come on, you know who the real DG is.”
