ERROL SPENCE JR.

"I just have to stay focused and put on a spectacular performance on Saturday night. Hopefully next time I'll be the main event. It's a process but I'm getting there. I'm ready for anybody in the welterweight division, I'm ready for any kind of step up in competition period. I'm not the guy to shy away from anybody. Porter and Broner are a little more seasoned that me, but skill wise I think I'm right on par with them. Skill for skill I can match anybody in boxing. A lot of guys aren't in the position that I'm in to get the opportunities that I have. This is my third year as a pro and it's all been coming pretty fast. It's all about timing. I'm enjoying the process. You're going to be looking at the future of the sport come Saturday night."

PHIL LO GRECO

"There's no such thing as the right moment. The perfect fight is when you want it to be. I got the call and decided that this is the perfect timing. It took me about 30 seconds to decide to take this fight. When you know why you fight, it makes these decisions easy. A year ago there was no way I thought I'd be on this stage. Now I have real opportunities and we're here now. Win, lose or draw, I'm going back to the gym next week. I'm a pressure fighter. I like to engage and give the fans what they want to see. This is a great opportunity. Saturday is going to be fun."
