DANNY GARCIA VOWS TO BE SPECTACULAR AGAINST MALIGNAGGI:

Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN and undercard fighters held a final press conference Thursday at B.B. Kings Blues Club & Grill in Times Square as they near their Saturday, August 1 showdowns at Barclays Center.

Here is what Danny Garcia had to say Thursday:

DANNY GARCIA

"We had a tremendous camp, I've never felt so strong in my life. For the first time in my career I can actually train to get better.

"We're just focused on training. We did everything in camp - we even chased chickens.

"I accomplished a lot at 140-pounds and I'm going to do a lot at 147. On Saturday at Barclays Center you're going to see a spectacular Danny Garcia.

"I want to be known as a great Philadelphia fighter and a great Puerto Rican fighter. I'm the first Puerto Rican from Philly to ever be a world champion. I have the Philly skills and toughness with the Puerto Rican blood, it's the perfect mixture.

"I've watched Paulie fight my whole career. He's a tough veteran and I'm sure he's got some tricks up his sleeve. I just have to go in there and stick to business on Saturday night.

"Barclays Center is my home away from home. We have a nice routine when we're in Brooklyn. We keep it simple.

"I pay attention to the positive things in my career and that's getting in the gym and working hard and getting better. That's my main focus.

"Everything is better at 147. I feel stronger. My form feels good. The footwork is great. I can eat regularly now. Still disciplined but it's a lot easier."

ANGEL GARCIA, Danny's Father & Trainer

"Danny had a great camp. It was an awesome camp and he's going to make a lot of noise. We're not taking Malignaggi lightly, but we've come to win. We don't come to lose.

"It's not about Malignaggi, it's about Danny. People can say whatever they want to say but we're coming to make noise at 147. We're not running from anybody.

"I promise you Danny will be the world champion at 147. I've seen visions of it. This is going to be a great fight and then after that anybody can get it."

The event is headlined by undefeated star Danny "Swift" Garcia (30-0, 17 KOs) as he makes his 147-pound debut against two-time world champion Paulie "The Magic Man" Malignaggi (33-6, 7 KOs). Televised coverage begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. as middleweight world champion Daniel "The Miracle Man" Jacobs (29-1, 26 KOs) defends in his hometown against former world champion Sergio "The Latin Snake" Mora (28-3-2, 9 KOs).
