In the school of boxing that I come from, that's frowned upon, giving up free shots, cos we know what those kinda shots do to a man's career, regardless of whether it shows up now, or shows up when you least need it. It takes a toll.

I'm just excited that the fans are going to get their money's worth, and you can't say that a lot of the times.

This fight should be dubbed, 'No Excuses.' If Carl Froch beats me, there won't be any excuses. I beat Carl Froch, there shouldn't be any excuses. No judges, no referees, no nothing. May the best man win.

I got knocked down, I don't know how many years ago and I haven't been off my feet since, and I responded again against the best in division without the respect of having the chin I'm supposed to have.

I'm always striving to be a better man to God, a better husband, a better Dad so it's just work, but I'm committed to it.

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