[slideshow_deploy id=’11831′] ANTONIO OROZCO, Top Undefeated Welterweight
[On training camp] “It’s been a really great camp. I’ve been training for eight weeks and I’m expecting a great fight next week. I know that Huerta has power, but I’m ready for the best.
[On being the Jan. 24 headliner] “It’s a great opportunity to headline a fight on Fox Sports 1 and I’m looking forward to it. I’m definitely hoping for a win next week.
“Finally, thank to all my fans, friends and family. I’ll see you at Fantasy Springs.”
JULIAN RAMIREZ, Undefeated Featherweight Rising Star
[On his opponent, Derrick Wilson] “I know that he has pulled various upsets and beaten undefeated fighters. I know that I’m being tested me with a tough opponent, but I’m ready.
[On his training] “I’ve been training with fast and strong people, I’m going 10 to 12 rounds with them even though my fight is only eight rounds.
[On fighting on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes] “It’s a big thing. I’m pumped up especially because I haven’t had a fight in a while.
[On fighting at a catch weight] “Since I haven’t fought in a while, I don’t want to force my body to make 122 pounds even though I could probably make it, but this will be good for me.”
DOMINIC BREAZALE, Undefeated Heavyweight Prospect
[On his opponent, Homer Fonseca] “He has more experience. I know that he’s a state champion in Texas; unfortunately we can’t fight for his current title because the fight is in California, but I’m still definitely looking forward to getting in the ring.
“I don’t need to do any trash talking, all of my trash talk I do in the ring.”
GERALD WASHINGTON, Undefeated Heavyweight Rising Star
[On his Jan. 24 fight] “It’s an eight round fight, against Arron Lyons after my original opponent pulled out of the fight. I’m going to get him. Get ready because I’m coming.
“To all my Mexican fans and family, remember that one day I’ll be the first Mexican heavyweight champion.”
MANNY ROBLES JR., Undefeated Featherweight Rising Star
[On his opponent Ricky Lopez and his training so far] “He’s got a good record. I know he’s good, but I know that I can pull off the win.
“Training has been good. I’ve been running and training hard and looking forward to the win next week.”
