Below is what they had to say: HUMBERTO “LA ZORRITA” SOTO, Former Three-Division World Champion: “Everything is really good and I am ready to go. I am relaxing right now. I am focusing on making weight. “Every fight is an opportunity and I want to keep moving up the ladder to get to a world title fight. “It is a matter of sitting with my team, but if there is a world champion out there willing to give me the opportunity, then I would like to fight for the title. “The important thing is your mind and mentality and to condition your mind to win. We will both have that – physically and mentality. But the real winners will be the fans. This will be a good fight. “Talk is cheap. What really matters is the hard work and effort you put in the gym. I have worked really hard for this fight and I think that will be what makes the difference. “I can adjust against anything that Frankie throws at me. I think I will be victorious. “I want to let the fans know that I appreciate them and thank you for the support. It will be a great fight and a great night of boxing. It is an important fight and I am just appreciative of all the support.” FRANKIE “PITBULL” GOMEZ, Super Lightweight Top Contender: “Thank you Golden Boy Promotions, HBO, my manager, and everyone for this opportunity. “On May 9, there is going to be some good fights. I have been training hard and on Saturday we will se seeing good results. “Soto has a lot of experience. He has been through a lot of fights. I have a lot of experience from my amateur career. I am not concerned and I am ready for this fight. “Freddie has been there every day for training. It was a very good training camp and I am ready to show fans what I can do. “I will fight anybody. It is up to my promoters, matchmakers, and team. I am not afraid of anybody. “Fight against someone with more experience is a lot of pressure but I like working under it. It motivates me more to do better in the fight. “I will fight anybody. They gave me Soto. I know he has more experience but I think I am ready and I have trained hard. I think I can win. “I am planning to go all 10 rounds. I am not going to look for the knock out. He has a lot of experience with combinations, but I think I can handle him. I think my youth and power will help me overcome him. “Don’t miss Saturday. It will be a good fight. Make sure to tune in.” FREDDIE ROACH, International Boxing Hall of Fame Trainer and Trainer to Frankie Gomez: “Frankie Gomez is one of the best fighters in the world today. He has potential to be a world champion. He is really going to shine here and it will open a lot of doors for him. “Gomez is one of the best fighters in the world and spars at the best in our gym, like Manny Pacquiao and all of those guys. “There are a lot of names of future opponents for Frankie and we want them all. He is ready for Amir Khan now. We will go against anybody. He is one of my top guys and people should be afraid. If you go against Frankie Gomez, you will get beat. I promise. “It will be a great fight for Frankie and good step up in the right direction. He will be champion really soon. I guarantee that.” ERIC GOMEZ, Senior Vice President of Golden Boy Promotions: “This is a big opportunity for Frankie Gomez to shine. He is developed, and with such a developed prospect, there is no one better than Freddie Roach to train him. A victory over Soto will put him in a great place. This is his coming-out party. “Frankie has the speed and the power. You can’t help but see him go to another level when he teamed up with Freddie. Freddie has really brought the best out of him, helping him get stronger and stronger. Every fight is a step in the next direction. He needs these kinds of fights to define himself and he is definitely becoming his own person. “Soto is a dangerous fighter with lots of experience.. It will be a great fight.

  • Vargas: My La Clash with Soto Will Be a Classic
    VARGAS: MY LA CLASH WITH SOTO WILL BE A CLASSIC Two-weight World champions Jessie Vargas and Humberto Soto collide on Friday night at The Forum, Inglewood, and Vargas believes their clash will steal the show live on DAZN in the US and Sky Sports in the UK. **TICKETS START FROM JUST $31 AND ARE ON SALE NOW FROM TICKETMASTER** **CLICK HERE FOR FULL JESSIE VARGAS INTERVIEW* **CLICK HERE FOR JESSIE VARGAS PROMO** Vargas (28-2-2 10 KOs) is targeting World title glory at 154lbs having ruled the World at Super-Lightweight and Welterweight, and the first step to landed a belt and becoming a three-weight champ starts against Mexican veteran Soto on Friday night. Soto (69-9-2 37 KOs) enters the bout on the back of a spirited win over Brandon Rios in Tijuana, Mexico in February, claiming an incredible 69th victory in 81 pro fights against ‘Bam Bam’. The 38 year old can take a giant step to a World title shot with a 70th career victory against Vargas, and the Las Vegas man expects their styles to gel to create a classic. “Humberto is one of those tough Mexican fighters that never stops coming forward,” said Vargas. “He fights to the end a lot like me, so we’ll put on a great fight on a brilliant card – it could be the fight of the night. His fight with Brandon was a good fight, one Humberto had control of and was able to get the win. He called me out straight after the win and I was happy to accept the fight.
