"It's time; we're the young up-and-coming fighters. It's time for us to take over. I'm going to do what I do best, come out and put on a good show. It's up to the fans to come out and support the fights and I hope they do."

Victor Ortiz, NABO Junior Welterweight Champion:

"I'm excited to be on this great card with Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero and James Kirkland. I'm really excited to fight in the Bay Area because everyone has been asking me when I would fight up here and now I finally am.
