Here are some extra Danny Garcia quotes that wound up on the cutting room floor:
"My Dad when I was young used to sit me down and watch boxing with me. Watching Chavez growing up, he used to buy me little punching bags from Toys R Us so I could hit them."
"In Philadelphia you can't train unless you're ten years old. He actually put me in the gym when I was seven but he was working so many jobs that he couldn't take me to the gym. When we got steady on our feet, ten years old I started in the gym and I never stopped."
"I run more miles, everything we do we do more in the gym. A lot of pushups, a lot of situps to keep the body real strong."
"Being around that motivates me because at one time in their career they were like me, young and upcoming. I know that if I keep working hard, I can be like them or even better.
"Not many people get to see me on the undercards. I want the world to see me. There's always people like that."
"I usually know the week before the fight or when I get to Vegas. Whoever it is, I've been training every day. I ran the Rocky steps the other day, I'm really motivated.
"I was born with six toes on my right foot. I'm just another young hungry fighter trying to make it to the top."Comment
