“I am very happy and excited for this great opportunity,” said Ivan Morales at the Golovkin vs. Monroe Final Press Conference today. “I know how important it is to be part of this fight card. I have seen film of Flores and I know he is a skilled fighter, but I know my talent and my desire to win will dominate the fight this Saturday.”

“The tradition of Morales vs. Barrera will continue this Saturday since Flores is currently trained by the legendary Marco Antonio Barrera and his brother,” said Robert Diaz, Head Matchmaker of Golden Boy Promotions. “This fight will add to the intensity and explosiveness to a card headed by the talented Gennady Golovkin and Willie Monroe Jr.”
