Howie Steindler {Manager for Danny Lopez}
"We expect Pineda to come out fast and try to slug it out. But that will be his downfall.
He can't stand and trade with Danny, as my guy hits very hard."

Harry Kabakoff {Manager for Arturo Pineda}
"This an important fight for 'Tury'. He knows it and is well prepared. 'Tury' is much faster
than Lopez, and 'Tury' will hit him many times over. I look for a TKO win somewhere in
the middle Rounds."
