Marvin Cabrera (8-0, 8 KOs), a native of Mexico City, Mexico, also participated in the workout ahead of his fight against Neeco "The Rooster" Macias (16-0, 9 KOs) of Lancaster, California in the co-main even, which is scheduled for eight rounds in the super welterweight division.

Here's what today's participants had to say at the workout:

RYAN 'KINGRY' GARCIA, NABF and NABO Super Featherweight Champion:

"I feel good. I love the excitement. I just want everyone to be hyped when I fight. I want everyone's heart pumping as they wait for a war. My power is going be a big problem. When I go to the body, it's going to be a big problem. But you never know until you step into the ring. You can't really tell how he fight until you are in there. Whatever he has said about me is irrelevant. Whether he thinks I'm a kid or that I'm always on social media--that's irrelevant. What matters is what will happen in the ring. For this fight, you can expect big numbers. It will set new precedents. This Facebook deal was made for me!"

CARLOS 'THE SOLUTION' MORALES, NABA Super Featherweight Champion:

"All the hard work is done. We had a solid eight week training camp. now it's time to perform on September 1. this fire is Definitely going into the later rounds. Ryan Garcia cannot knock me out. we're going to make it a smart fight during every single second of every round. all of my fights have been again tough contenders, and that has given me a lot of confidence. I have faced a lot of top fighters. that's definitely going to make me mentally and physically ready for September 1. I've known Ryan Garcia for a while. We used to train at the same gym and he has the same goofball personality that he's always had. But this is business, and there will be no games when we step in the ring."
