Here are a couple snippets from the interview.  For the full audio, click on the player below.

On preparing for Garcia...

"Usually I don't watch tapes, but this time I decided to watch two fights to see how the guy fights. His style is very good. He's young and he's coming to win. I'm there to win too and I had a good training camp. I decided to train here. My manager wanted me to to go Las Vegas to train, but there wasn't enough time.  I'm feeling good."

How do you plan on fighting Garcia...

"I have to go inside. I was watching his tapes, and many opponents just run away. I don't want to do that. I'm going to punch him very hard, and make sure he respects my punches."
