“I am ready for whoever Top Rank is willing to give me. I am not in a position to call out anyone right now, but I now that I rise to occasion.”
“Moises Delgadillo is a durable opponent and I know he will come to fight and win. I think that I will be able to display my skills well in this fight. I know that being the elite fighter I am should stop Delgadillo.
“I have worked very hard for this fight I traveled to Los Angeles, CA to go ESPN Deportes ‘A Los Golpes’ to do an interview, I got visited he WBC office in LA and threw out the first pitch for the San Jose Giants. I understand as I am in bigger fights I have a bigger responsibility to make people interested in the fight and promote the fight and this fight being the co-main event I took that responsibility very serious.”
“You should tune into this fight, because I am dedicating my life to being a world champion and I feel that now is my time.”
Gabe Flores Sr., Trainer
\“You can expect to see explosiveness with a lot of speed, I don’t see the kid making it past six rounds unless he comes to run.”
Herb Stone, Manager
“He is a special kid, he has it all, he can speak Spanish, speak English and he really promotes himself along with Top Rank, he is very dedicated.”
“Andy has what I call “IT”. I have had fighters for forty years and they never catch on, but he has such a fanbase, following and can sell tickets like mad.”
