   Andre “S.O.G.” Ward:

  

“I’m locked in.  I take this sport real serious.  And he (Rodriguez) is going to find that out come Saturday night.  Everybody talks about how hungry he is as a challenger, but he is running into a hungry champion.  
I am excited to get back.  I’m sharp.  I’m ready to be better than ever. ” 

 

  

  Edwin “La Bomba” Rodriguez:

 

“I respect Andre Ward.  I think he’s a good fighter.  He has accomplished a lot in the sport of boxing, winning the tournament in the Super Six.  But, at the same time, I don’t respect him either.  I’m ready to get in there and punch that guy in the face.  Come November 16th, I will do just that.”
