now on BBC face-to-face I promise you I'll be champion again you can't stop greeting this only person who can stop me isn't me in the division stacked with talent it's a great division by the best division in boxing there's a great opportunity for me for mega fights so I gotta make sure where did that go in there and see what is victory in fashion that bet Oh final looks to climb his way back to the top I'm a seasoned veteran I've been here is not new to me area 40 like he's a threat to me because he is but standing in his path a holy Challenger looking to do this medal I had a chip on my shoulder for this fight you know as I'm out to give my respect and I'm out to make a name for myself as well but before Danny Garcia and Adrian Renato still toe-to-toe they'll first go face-to-face [Music] hi ladies and gentlemen welcome here to the palm restaurant here in Los Angeles as we get set for PBC on Fox on Saturday April 20th dignity health sports park here in Southern California again at Carson it's one month before welterweights Danny Garcia and Adrian canarios will go toe-to-toe much has already happened in the division in 2008 even beyond Manny Pacquiao and arrows spins continuing to exhibit dominance chief Thurman returned and won and Shawn Porter successfully defended his WBC count against your Dennis we gothis if they're two men Danny Garcia knows well after they defeated Garcia in his last two world title fight and soon no doubt Garcia Awards be virtuous the first was it passed Adrian autos this is another fight for my legacy as I look at it and I think my legacy I've been a lot of great fights in my career and I'm this is an important fight for my career I've seen granado's fight a few times I wanna I wanna I want to thank you for being that one DuPont military figure I forgot his name but you knocked him out yeah I appreciate it but you know other than the ass is grass [Music] but he's never been in the ring of what a fighter as dangerous as me you know a two-fisted puncher I ruined a lot of careers immensely our dream fighters physically I heard them and that's that's what I plan on doing in the April 20th bout between the nod Olson Garcia will be a matchup of two men unafraid of fighting the best for Garcia his confidence begins with his father angel Garcia the senior Garcia introduced and into boxing as a ten-year-old in North Philadelphia and he's remained in his corner the last two decades I would say the special relationship he's my father he's my best friend you know he's always been loyal to me granado's on the other hand word is trade outside the gym on the streets of Chicago the only turn pro after working a slew of blue-collar jobs I did ballet I did taxi driver I was a busboy I was was a banker at one time I was a cutting grass and in the summers and the snow shoveling in the winter but I always had this dream you know that I would be here at this elite level and it's it's taken longer than I thought but they got you know finally here for Garcia this years of training paid off quickly it became super lightweight champion four days after returning 24th after unifying the title by knocking out America in just four rounds defeated Erik Morales in his subsequent defense later that fall Garcia man Lukas Matisse is unanimous decision victory stampton is one of the division superstars even as he moved up to well too early in 2015 you know I will always think I'm the best I will always think Danny Garcia the best one of the best fighters in the world I think I said before I fought the bastard best resume in the division and I've been here too short if by this time granado's was building a name for himself from the bottom up in 2015 Ronaldo's entered his fight against a Mary Eamon a heavy underdog but he dropped Imam in the eighth line it was a stunning upset for granado's and Imams first loss as it happened Danny Garcia was watching when I got the big win against the mayor and mom that put me on the map the first thing he said like he's like oh then he lose to some guy with three or four losses and then the next time he spoke about me was when I was fighting a Adrien Broner is they're always fighting there that Chicago kid right I just couldn't take it no more that he's like every time you want to talk about me you want to bash my name so after that now now I kind of got a personal bone to pick with him you know I'm kind of I'm not taking my respect Garcia next hit a few bumps in the road he lost a split decision to Keith Thurman in 2017 only the third time in history the title unification fight paired two undefeated rocks now CNN do before losing a unanimous decision to Sean pours I really want to read matches with Durham and importer but just there's so many great fights they can be me the Durham and the porter Pacquiao the Spence fight and to be honest with Justin there's no big fight without Danny Garcia you know I'm gonna take your cellar I gave those readings Garcia knows that any chance of a rematch with reporter or Thurman runs through Bernardo it's a position that the Chicago problem believes he can take for himself I'm 29 so you know I I've still got a lot of hunger left in me and uh I think you know he wants to stay relevant you know if he he beats me you know he's still in the top five of the welterweight division Danny Garcia may well go into the Boxing Hall of Fame one day but he knows his resume has moved to grow and in a division that boasts some of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world Garcia can take nothing for granted against Adria granado's on April 20th that's taking this fight and we're certainly gonna get into that but forgive me for a second am I wrong here so between the two of you oh beef what's going on here all right definitely any time you're going against somebody you're gonna fight you know it's definitely your rival there's always gonna be tension and there's gonna be bad intentions and that's what I plan on delivering April 20 yeah definitely from my side I feel it's a little bit more personal um you know Danny Garcia doesn't really know me and doesn't realize you know how hard it's been for me to get to this position I'm here definitely to uh make him respect me that night how far back does this go well once the first shot that was thrown in terms of the verbal battle to set this up um pretty much as soon as I got onto the scene with the mayor and mom upset I'm immediately you know he didn't even drop my name is that all we lost some dude with three or four losses like my guy you know I could I could take that you know cuz everybody comes at my record you should be happy I buddy me but I'm saying I'd give you some I gave you some promotion yeah but it's always negative promotion and you know I yeah I mean you don't even know me doc ain't got an you gonna get to know me input 20 if I don't I don't got a I don't gotta have to know you you gonna know me April 20th and I'm gonna show you what I'm about at the end of the day I speak what I feel I say what I want and if you don't like it then we're gonna have to hand gonna Lake man and now there's definitely we're gonna do and I got no problem with that I can see the confidence of a former champion here he came out but beyond your level is there is there a full level of disrespect here when you look at him he definitely here for a reason he's like he said he earned his spot I take 9 away from another man who puts on the gloves and fights his way to where he wants to be you know it's a feed his family I respect him in that way but when it comes to box and there's definitely levels and I plan on showing him what level I'm on come Friday night yeah well definitely that finite you know I definitely plan to prove to you you know that uh I definitely belong at this level and that anything you know I feel like I'm a better fighter than you know my shirt that night I've been ready for this for years you know I've been watching you know Danny come up for a long time and you know like I said I'm actually a fan of his career he's done a lot of great things but since way back when you know when he was getting the big fights with Morales and starting to come up I was you know bussing tables you know working side jobs you know selling tickets on the side side hustling and you know I didn't have no big manager big promoter coming up but I know since then I'm like I know I'm gonna catch up eventually and luckily you know we're here not listen I earned my spot here and my first tooth world title fights against Morales in kind I was running to lose I was not supposed to win those fights so anyone that says Danny Garcia had a easy roll to the top don't know the NE Garcia don't know his career I've been the underdog my whole career every big fight underdog and what I do I come out on top like a true champion I prepared for every fight like there's a world title fight I'm an elite fighter so every training camp has to be elite everything I do has to be elite I overlooked no man I'm over I passed that stage in my career where I look at people and I take them lightly I've been there before and these are the fights where people think maybe he's not a big name like the other guys but these are the fights that sometimes turned out to be harder getting the bigger names these are the guys who come and they want what you have they want your name you know what he wants your lifestyle they want to be the big name so I understand where he's coming from and I've been in those shoes before and I know what it takes to win a fight and I will never sell myself short in the gym so that way I can be ready for tonight Adrian granado's doesn't mind being an underdog it's been that way since he was driving a taxi or shoveling snow in Chicago hardly a well-worn path to boxing royalty but against Danny Garcia on April 20th he gets the match he's always wanted he's ready to prove he can fight with the best Asian when you look at that path when you look at that journey to get to this point you jealous when you look at a guy like Danny Garcia you see that you see the bling you see the championship pinstripes here how many different strokes for different folks I mean not take away from him but maybe I like diamonds and you don't precious this is how it is yeah I'm definitely a lot more simple man a lot of people know me I'm a little more laid back but not definitely not not Jesse whatsoever you know a lot of people don't really know has ever really looked into my my career like like they should which is great for me because you know it's a lot it's a lot of intangibles that I bring to the fight that a lot of people don't know about and you know I got a lot of different styles you know most people kind of just try to portray me as just to come forward stand-up guy but you know I definitely got a lot of intangibles in my my repertoire now I'll be I'll be ready with all of it come April 20th I'm a different kind of fighter I'm a two-fisted heavy hitting puncher I'm a counter puncher I can walk you down like a box and I got and I got the I got a big heart I love to fight and that's when everyone knows about me I come to fight so when I asked you if this man's ready for you you know I mean he better be ready because you know the stages the stage is set and uh it's gonna be a lot of fans out there and who wants to see a great show and I hope you can live up to live up to what he's saying he could do I think there's gonna be a good fight and I've definitely matured in my boxing game to where I know what I got to do now to get the win and I know that I had to do it in dominating fashion cuz if not I know I won't get the win I mean to that point if things went a little differently for you you could be 27 and 1 right now it could be a lot different than where yet but you're still here in this fight here we go is say if soon what I could be 36 you know I'm into controversial fights where the world thinks I want so it's never about what if is what is in there this is what it is right now it don't matter who you came up short again so people thought you want on paper is a loss all right finally who you know he could say you know what he wants about that I know you know what it is you know I've been on the B side you know mostly all my career and that's why you know we we know how boxing is if you're not if you're not knocking nobody out you're definitely gonna be on the wrong side of a decision but no excuses you know I don't take nothing away from my career I've actually very proud of the career I've had I've seen flaws in this game that I you know fit perfectly to my style I'm you know he's he's definitely you know got a big heart got a good chin I'm you know but uh but I don't think I've ever met anybody got a bigger chin be right there tell you one thing there's only one way you knock me Andy Garcia we got a snipe me from the top bro you gotta send a sniper in at night this night me from the top road that's the only way I'm going down that snipers gonna be right in front of you you have to sniping up there one man in the ring he taking me down and then I heard there's plenty of times I heard them the biggest hitters in the game said he gonna take me down yeah when they hit me and I eat it like breakfast well I've been in there with all the biggest punchers and ain't nobody stopped me and I know you ain't gonna stop me you're in every man and with Danny Garcia and I'm leaving at that never been in it with Danny Garcia I'm got a saddle no matter who I fought who I beat who I lost who you've never been in the ring with any Garcia and you ain't never been in with an agent will not and I'm gonna show you what I'm about I'm gonna show you what I'm about let's get it on Danny Garcia has never been one to back down from his words perhaps that comes from the challenges set for him by his father angel all these years but now his fight against Adrian granado's has become deeply personal their verbal sparring of the last few years is about to boil over lot of times and you're at this elite level it's very even it's gonna come down to those intangibles we got a Chicago versus Philadelphia we got Puerto Rico versus Mexico where's the advantage here if it comes down to more will than skill on April 20th I mean I'm from the city of Philadelphia you know so the way we breed our people as tough so when I got the Puerto Rican blood at the end of the day but I'm just a different type of animal period yeah no well you know I'm from Chicago what we definitely you know feel like we're on a different level you know it's definitely a harder or dangerous you know life stuff for us definitely have that hard-nosed a lifestyle as well I mean and you know I'm Mexican and I'm part of it you know I'm uh you know I'm actually living out there now and I'm I'm very proud of my heritage and you know for this if I definitely look to represent for my people and for my city a little bit of intensity when you look at Danny I mean you could say you don't know me it sounds like you know I'm pretty well when you look at it how bad do you want this thought definitely this would be a great one for my career you know this is uh it's definitely what I need you know I I feel like I I didn't get the Windward that I deserved again Adrien Broner and you know what the Shawn Porter fight I didn't get up and get a fair shake with the referee and so you know this is definitely I think my last strike so I'm looking to cash in on Danny Garcia here's some hunger there at that I heard it all before I heard it all before I've been in his position before I face fighters I came before it was hungry whoo what I want wants to be in this seat right now and um April 20 if it's not gonna happen because I'm prepared I'm working hard I'm training hard and I know how he feels about the judges because I've been I've been in those positions but in this sport you can't you can't blame nobody you gotta take you defeat like a man and go on to the next and come in for 20th I'm coming to show the world while I'm still one of the best fighters in the world when you Scout him this is not worry it's not a chin that matches up well these guys wanna do we do best and there's find adjustments fight each second of the fight he's rounded a fight and um when more rounds that he then he wins and um if the knockout is there but I heard I'm sure I'm finishing does he have those same tools does he have a plan B if pressure attack doesn't work out against Danny Garcia no I don't know that's something you have to ask him I don't I don't know what he's preparing on but I know what I'm preparing on there yeah yeah no definitely I mean you know as a fighter I definitely have a plan B CED I you know I'm gonna have an answer for whatever he's got now is easy but I'm telling you every fighter says they're gonna come fight Danny Garcia and then once they get hit they're on their wheels the rest of the night if you look at all the fires I faced in my career they mothers came out fast they might have started strong they might I deal whatever they wanted to do but soon when they got hit it was a different story it's the game changer once they get here with these game changes it just breaks their concentration and they need to start running and they get scared all right what's at stake in this fight never the exam state you notice a big fight for me it's a big fight for me to show the world that I'm I'm still one of the best fighters in the world and it's a lot at stake for me could because there's big fights out there for me bigger fights out there for me bigger paydays out there for me and um just to show the world that I'm still one of the best fighters in the world and it starts April 20th what kind of big fights every every fight out there every welterweight out there that you can name I won't revenge on you know Thurman and Porter and whoever else they put in front of me spends Pacquiao everyone it's not Wyatt there's some big opportunities ahead if he gets past you ya know and that's why you know I'm not I'm not I'm looking to play spoiler that night because I know I belong there with those names as well and you know me beating Danny then that I'm the I'm the new name back on the block if this becomes a war and all action classic what is that favor indefinitely favors me I'm definitely too big you're harder puncher you're gonna see the more telling boats I'm the better combination of puncher and I'm the sharper boxer I feel like you know that definitely favors me because I'm more of the pressure fighter and you know that's that's just what I do you know um in that Porter fight I actually seen him get backed up a lot more and since I started taking a lot more shots towards the end of that fight and you know if he hits like that with me I definitely would try to put him up you heard the man you started taking steps back against a drink or not oh so you're gonna feel the tiger yeah now you're gonna have and he'll find up and then go ahead it all trust me already uh let's get down to predictions Danny April 20th this despite looked like what happens inside that ring I'm not looking to go 12 rounds I plan on making this my easiest fight in my career I think it's gonna be one of the hardest fight to you career and if I get you hurt I'm definitely coming to take you out as well no ifs no ifs prediction how does this fight end agent cannot allow unanimous decision your stop itching Danny Danny Garcia wins and they oh wow you'd be the first man to knock this man out rare and I'm selling them right now 19 and he knocking nobody else I've been the first unlike many people up you can't won't be the first in the list let's not see if you do not become the first one to stop Danny Garcia I doubt it you'll see we will see Chicago vs Philadelphia Puerto Rico vs. Mexico Garcia vs. granado's Saturday April 20th from Carson California and live on Fox get your popcorn ready we're gonna see some drama we're gonna say the Garcia show more than we're gonna see a
