Matt Remillard: “I respect Jose for coming here. He’s 99.9 percent sure he’s going to pressure me? If he believes that he’s going to leave here on a stretcher. He says he’s coming here to go toe to toe; he won’t have to look for me. You’re prepared? I’m more prepared. You’re ready? I’m more ready. You won’t have to look for me. I’m going to give Hartford its best fight ever. I hope you’re ready..”
Leroy Childs: “I want to thank Jimmy Burchfield for putting me on this card. I hope everybody enjoys themselves tomorrow night.”
Tony Grano: “I’m looking forward to this fight. I’ve been working very hard. I’ll have all my fans coming out tomorrow night and supporting me. I’m looking forward to it.”
Jose Magallon: “What a wonderful show for Connecticut fans. I’m here to give my best. I’m ready to go 10 rounds and I’m here to take every tound. I’m 99-9-percent sure Matt Remillard can’t take my pressure.”
