Here is what the participants from Thursday's event at the Clarion Hotel had to say:

DANNY GARCIA

"I've dedicated my life to the sport of boxing and I'm proud to be on a card like this. It's amazing to be fighting in my city with my home base there to support me.

"This is a great opportunity for me. Giving back is very important to me and my family. I have my whole family, including my daughter Philly here with me. It just adds to the excitement leading up to the fight.

"Training camp has been amazing. We had a really smooth camp. I've stayed disciplined and taken care of everything I have to do. I've been running and sparring and preparing for anything. I took no shortcuts.

"I'm feeling good and I'm happy to bring my fans in Philadelphia a fight. I'm looking forward to bringing more fights back here to Philadelphia. This is a fighting city where it all started for a lot of great fighters.

"I'm really excited about this undercard. I know the fans are going to really love it. I hope those fighters take full advantage of their opportunity to fight on a card like this.

"I know people are excited about the Thurman fight. I understand that and I'm going to be pumped up for that one too. But I'm not looking past anybody. I'm fully focused on putting on a show at home and doing what I have to do to beat Vargas.

"There's not too much to say but I'm really excited to fight. I hope all the fans come out and see what they've been missing in Philly. I'm going for the knockout."

SAMUEL VARGAS

"I had four weeks of intense training in Miami. We were at the Fifth Street Gym and they made us feel at home. I got great sparring and I feel ready to fight.

"This is a fight that I have to be 100 percent ready for. I have to mentally be prepared for battle. Then I just have to execute the plan.

"Danny is a champion for a reason. He does everything well. We just have to find a way to win.

"My trainer, Billy Briscoe, has done an amazing job of working with me and keeping me motivated. It's been a really good camp.

"I'm looking for the upset that night. Everyone wants to see Danny fight Keith Thurman, but I'm looking to make myself known. I feel confident.

"All I have to do is go up there and do my job. Don't miss it, because it's going to be a memorable one.

"I have to dictate the pace of the fight if I want to win in Philadelphia. I have to win decisively. I have to be a smart fighter and I'll be ready."

ANGEL GARCIA, Danny's Father & Trainer

"Danny is 100 percent prepared. Camp went perfectly. He's hitting hard. I just pray every day that he doesn't kill anybody in the ring. These aren't the 'Looney Tunes.' This is real right now. Vargas is in with the champ of the world.

"We're going to worry about Sam on Saturday. We're going to get the job done. Because I know what Danny brings to the table.

"I think Danny is the top welterweight in the world. Danny is going to be undefeated, still, after November 12. Sam is going to come in and work. But it's not going his way."

BILLY BRISCOE, Vargas' Trainer

"We went to camp and we prepared to the best of our abilities. Sam knew what he had to do and he took care of everything that he could.

"There's not too much to say. We understand that we're fighting a great fighter like Danny. He's a tremendous fighter and he has great trainer in Angel.

"We're going to be ready. Sam has put in the hours in the gym that are necessary. We're looking for a good show and a big shock."
