Benny Henderson Jr.: What does Danny Garcia bring to the 140-pound division?

Danny Garcia:
I bring speed, power, great boxing skills, heart determination and hunger, and I am exciting.

BH: Coming from Philadelphia, which is such a great hot spot for boxers, do you feel that you have big shoes to feel, maybe a sense of pride?

DG:
Yes, there have been so many champions, I want to follow them. Bernard is on his way out, I am the young hungry fighter coming up, hopefully I can take after his shoes.

BH: What do you feel are your greatest assets as a fighter?

DG:
My speed, power, my skills. I am strong with my both hands, I can box and bang, I am a complete fighter.

BH: What do you know about your upcoming opponent?

DG:
I know his record, and he comes from Mexico so I know he is tough.

BH: How do you feel about fighting in your first eight rounder?

DG:
I feel good, I am in great shape.

BH: What drives you to be the best, what motivates you?

DG:
Hunger, I have a family that keeps me motivated, and Philly, it is a tough city.

BH: If you could send a message out to the fight world what would it be?

DG:
I am a Latino coming from Philly, I am strong and real hungry and I am fighting my way to the top and I will be champion soon.

BH: You were on the under card of the Hatton-Malignaggi bout, what did you think of that fight and how do you compare yourself to those guys?

DG:
I did not think that Malignaggi was that good of a fighter, he was not that strong, Hatton is just a strong aggressive guy. I think I am just as strong or stronger.

BH: You are getting sine serious light on the under cards of some big fights, and now you are on the under card of the DLH-PacMan card, what does it mean to you to be on such a big stage?

DG:
It is a blessing, God has blessed me to be on these big shows, it keeps me motivated. One day I want to be the main event.

BH: Being on these big cards, which is a bigger stage, do you feel that you have to deliver something bigger?

DG:
Yes, I feel like I have to win this fight with a knock out, I am looking to impress.

BH: Let’s say these fans have never seen you fight, what they can expect from a Danny Garcia fight?

DG:
Tons of power, blood sweat and tears, the complete package, a great fighter coming up.

BH: If you could sum up Danny Garcia, maybe define Danny Garcia in just three words, what would you say?

DG:
That is a good question, I have never thought of that. (Laughs) Swift, determined and handsome. (Laughs)
