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

The road I've taken to this point has not been easy. Being back on HBO is a big thing, but fighting on HBO in my hometown is huge. To be great you have to fight the best. Chad has beaten the best so these are the type fights I want to take. I will put on a great show for all the fans that come out to Oracle Arena.

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.

He's built up to be invincible and no man is invincible, any man can be knocked out.

The way my father raised me, we don't pat ourselves on the back. We don't call ourselves great, we let other people do that.

I don't rest on my laurels and start getting lazy. It makes me just wanna keep working.

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.
