Alfonso Zamora >
"I know all about Jorge Lujan. He's been around for a while. I don't think it will be my toughest
fight, but it will be a tough one. He's a very good boxer, and he has a tight defense."

"If I fight with steady-pressure, I will win. He like to counter-punch, so I must not miss with my
punches. I must press him with constant pressure."

Jorge Lujan >
"I make no predictions. All that I can say is, that I am confident and will fight my best fight. I will
not take any chances with Alfonso. He punches too hard to stand and trade with him."
