Bennie Rodriguez >
"I know that Danny is a dangerous puncher. You have to watch for both his right-hand and
left-hook. I will have to be careful early, and then get into a rhythm during the middle-Rounds."

Danny Lopez >
"I have to get past his jab. So, I will come out pressing right away to prevent him from getting
into a groove. He likes to box, but does not like to trade."
