I got knocked down. Anybody could be knocked down, anybody can be knocked out, but it's not what happened, but what happens next.

This is a great position to be in. I don't really believe there is any fighter, in any decade that can be in my position of luxury that I've been in for many years.

The media here know that there's the possibility that I can pull this off. I'm confident. Confidence comes with work. When you prepare yourself and you know you're going into combat with all of your bullets, you have the confidence to go into battle.

The only way you can get experience is from the clock. Time works with some people and against some people. Fortunately, the clock has worked in my favor.

I've got a history of frustrating guys and making them angry.

I was told I would be back in 90 days. If I listened to people, I would be back where I came from - the penitentiary.

I am going in there to win this fight. I don't think people are taking me seriously. I'm gonna surprise a lot of people. This guy helped two people make history.
