ANGEL GARCIA, Danny's Father & Trainer
"Danny had a great camp. It was an awesome camp and he's going to make a lot of noise. We're not taking Malignaggi lightly, but we've come to win. We don't come to lose.
"It's not about Malignaggi, it's about Danny. People can say whatever they want to say but we're coming to make noise at 147. We're not running from anybody.
"I promise you Danny will be the world champion at 147. I've seen visions of it. This is going to be a great fight and then after that anybody can get it."
