The final news conference for "Blaze of Glory!" -- Saturday's four-fight Pay-Per-View extravaganza -- had the eight principals facing off at The Alamodome for the final time before Friday's Official Weigh-in, which will be open to the public.

Manny Pacquiao: "I know my opponent Jorge Solis has worked hard and is determined to win. This will be a great fight for both of us, both of our countries and all of our fans. But there can only be one winner and I have every intention of leaving the ring the way I came in -- as champion."

Justin Fortune: "We never underestimate an opponent. But a physically fit and strong Manny Pacquiao is impossible to beat, and Jorge Solis, you can call this fight Mission Impossible."

Jorge Solis: "When I heard that I was fighting Manny Pacquiao in the main event on pay-per-view I got so excited I started jumping up and down. I couldn't sleep - not scared - but because of the excitement of it all. I came to San Antonio to win. As the saying goes in my hometown, I am taking home all of the marbles. I hold the pride of Mexico in my two fists. Manny's winning streak over my countrymen will end Saturday night. Be ready Manny, no excuses!"

Fernando Beltran, Solis' promoter: "Solis is undefeated and he doesn't know how to lose. He is a two-time national champion in a great, great weight class. I really believe Solis will shock The Philippines and the world. Mexico will be very proud of its champion on Saturday night."

Jorge Arce: "My time is now and this will be a historic night. I want to say this to Cristian Mijares: you have 3 days left to be a champion and you better enjoy it."

Cristian Mijares: "Fights are won in the ring not at press conferences and I will give Arce a boxing lesson. Everyone will know my name after this fight."
