On preparing for a unique fighter like Celestino Caballero?

"My sparring partners are unbelievable.  They're way bigger.  I think Caballero is going to be little compared to some of my sparring partners.  They're 6'1", 147 pounders."

On what we can expect from him on Saturday night...

"You guys are going to see a Jason Litzau like you've never seen before.  I've got a new strength and conditioning coach.  My trainer has come up with a great game plan.  All I can tell you is this will be the best fight of my life.  We've got 10 different game plans.  Whatever he brings to the table, we are going to be there ready to respond.

On working with the new strength and conditionining coach...

I'm stronger.  I'm faster.  I'm making weight easier.... The way Manny Pacquiao's strength and condition coach has changed his career.  This guy is changing my whole career.

On his past losses...

I haven't got any excuses.  I give my all in every fight, and that's all there is to it.  Robert Guerrero beat me.  Jose Hernandez beat me.  That's it... They beat me.  But come November 27, I'm fighting Caballero and I'm going to be at 110% and it's going to be the best Jason Litzau you've seen.  That's all I can tell you.

Any response to Caballero's trash-talk...

Talking doesn't win fights.  He can talk all he wants.  We're fighting.  We're not going to be talking.
