I like to talk come fight night, that's how I do it, but I'm not a pushover.

Anybody that's in my weight class, above me or beneath me, I keep an eye on.

The part that sickens me about boxing is guys fight their whole careers and they have nothing to show for it. That's not going to be my testimony. When it's time to get out of the game, I want to be able to walk away. I'm not going to jeopardize my health. I will have no problems walking away.

Every fighter is my toughest challenge to date. After I get done with one fight, the next challenge is the toughest.

As a man, I have no problem saying I was hurt.

I don't abuse my body, I've been off 10 months, I still train and I'm always thinking about boxing, so I felt like I would be fine and I just wanted to challenge myself against another top caliber fighter.

That's what makes a fighter. I got dropped and I got back up, and I found a way to get the win.
