ANDRE BERTO
"I appreciate everyone coming out. I had a tremendous training camp and it's going to be a terrific night of boxing on Saturday night."
"Carlos Quintana is a former world champion and a crafty southpaw.
This is my third straight southpaw so I'm pretty used to them by now and I had some great southpaw sparring in training camp."
"I'm excited to get back in ring and honestly, I wish the fight was tonight."
"I've never been this focused, hungry and motivated for a fight before and Carlos Quintana has a major task on his hands on Saturday night."
"I'm going to let everything loose for a good cause, and you are going to see the best of me on Saturday night."
"It's going to be a terrific night of boxing and I hope everyone will come out and support this very important cause."
CARLOS QUINTANA
"Andre Berto is a great, young fighter with a lot of power, but I'm also a great fighter and I will prove it Saturday night."
"There can only be one winner on Saturday night and I will be the winner and the new WBC Welterweight Champion of the World."
"I trained very hard for this fight, for a world title fight and for Berto. I did everything necessary to take the belt from Berto."

but he's a fighter I'm prepared to see something different on Saturday night, and it will definitely be a fight."
