I want to get out there. I want to show myself.

I wanted to get in the ring and be like Muhammad Ali.

Belts are immaterial. What's material to me is who have you fought, how many rounds have you fought, how many fights have you fought.

It's not the black belt that you wear on your waist. It's the black belt in your heart and knowing that you can go out there and you can do it. That's what a true black belt is.

When boxers fight 3 minutes (per round), they have 3 minutes to box, so they are not in a hurry to show the judges who is winning. They have time to slow down their feet. In 2 minute (round) fights, they don't have time to slow down their feet. It's a fast speed because they only have 2 minutes.

In the martial arts, the guys respect the women fighters.

Boxing is really hard because you have to be in really good shape to have all those rules and just using your hands.
