Post-Fight Quotes
- "I felt the ring rust a little in the beginning. I wasn't as sharp as I wanted to be. He's a good inside fighter, and he was giving me some good inside uppercuts, but I felt good. It was a good nine rounds. He came to fight. Everyone knows when they fight Danny Garcia, they come to fight, so I was prepared for it. I came to box, and I did that. I came to bang, and I banged. I gave the fans what they wanted, a knockout," Danny Garcia said.
- "I would love the rematch with Keith Thurman, but it's on him. Whenever he's ready. It was tough because my mindset is I'm a winner. I hate losing. I took the loss like a true champion and I bounced back like a true champion. He was standing in front of me and I just let it go. I let the straight right hand go. I wasn't looking for that shot. I was just boxing. I was letting my hands go, and just like every other knockout, I let my hands go and the shot lands," Danny Garcia said.
- "I'm mad. I don't like going out like that. I'm a warrior. I got back up and was ready to continue. I'm mad. I'm f---ing mad. I was doing good, but I got lazy with the jab, and he came over with the right hand and he caught me. It was my fault. I think I was doing really good in there. I was breaking him down little by little. He was getting tired. But it was one of those things where I got lazy with the jab and he came over it," Brandon Rios said.
