Ryan Garcia, undefeated lightweight contender, says that he feels supremely confident in his approach entering this weekend, and he truly believes that he will dominate Fortuna without a doubt.
"I am having a great time. I am supreme confidence. I've worked my ass off," said Garcia. "This game is about adjustments, you can't bank on the same thing every day. What matters most that you do the best that you can with the hand you are dealt with in that moment. It doesn't matter if you are not 100%. We are at the point where that doesn't event matter. I am at the point that it wouldn't matter if I am at 65%, I am destroying Fortuna. He cannot beat me. I am levels above him."
Former two-time World Champion Javier Fortuna says that he feels physically ready for this fight as he approaches age 33 this Friday, meaning that he will be one full decade older than Ryan Garcia by the time they step into the ring this Saturday.
"I feel very good to be here, very honored, and am happy that I can move my career forward," Fortuna. "I feel in good physical condition and I promise I will give the fans a very good fight."
The Dominican-Republic fighter expressed he feels quite disrespected with Ryan already talking about another fighter(Gervonta Davis), instead of worrying about Fortuna who he has to face in a few days.
"Ryan is a good fighter, but we hope that this time around he doesn't have any excuses not to fight me," Fortuna told the press this week. "I see that he is very focused on another fight instead of focusing on the fight he has this Saturday. And we hope that after I beat him on Saturday he doesn't have any excuses. When you enter the ring you risk your life. I am risking my life, sacrificing for my children and I promise that I will give him everything I have. I am focused on what I can do to win."
The fight will be streamed live exclusively on DAZN this Saturday, July 16, from the Crypto.com Arena in Downtown, Los Angeles.
