Davis said:
You've been out with him [Garcia] partying. Not recently but you have, you have. [After his last fight] Do you have the skills to do that? Do you have the skills to be out partying and missing [training]? [When did he last fight?] You don’t have the skills to be doing that bro. You started [boxing] when you was 15. If I started when I was 15... I'm taking that s**t off. I'm grinding, I'm grinding! You trash!"

Nobody that's walking with him, holding him hand-in-hand is not going to be able to save him June 15th. I'm telling you. And it's a lot of s**t built up, a lot built up, and I'm going to take it out on him. Sorry it's going to be him."
