Paul Williams quotes:
"I've been preparing for this for a while now. I realize that this is a really important fight for me because preserving my undefeated record is invaluable and I intend to do that no matter what."
"If Quintana comes to fight, you can expect a hell of a fight. He thinks that I am looking past him, but he's seriously mistaken because I didn't train for so long for no reason."
Carlos Quintana quotes:
"Paul Williams doesn't know what he is up against. I'm much faster than anybody else that he's fought. He has seriously underestimated me and that motivates me."
"I didn't take this fight for the money, I took it for the opportunity. Nobody wants to fight Paul Williams but I will. I'm not afraid to face him. I'm a warrior through and through and my past fights are proof."
