On what to expect: “I think they are going to see an explosive fight. I believe [Salgado] is a great opponent.
“But I’m going to push the pace and you know someone is going to get knocked out. It’s going to be an inside fight, and we’ll see what happens.
His aim: “My goal is to be a champion when I’m 21. If it comes sooner then I am ready, but at the moment we are just taking it one step at a time,” Garcia
On the fight: “The one that is going to be knocked out is Elijah.”
On his approach: “I don’t care how young he is, I don’t care how ambitious he is. All I know is that I’m going to go in the ring and get that victory and be on my way,” Zambrano
