I have seen videos of Sugar Ray Robinson and Willie Pep who did a million other things than just punch, to set up a perfect shot or to offset their opponents' rhythm. Boxing is incredibly complicated. It's not Rock'em Sock'em Robots.

I knew my time would come I just had to stay focused and disciplined and if you work hard good things happen. I am right where I am supposed to be.

My open workouts are like fight day. I've got a lot of pressure on me and I ride it to the top.

I was a full time student either at Stony Brook or NYU getting my masters degree. After I graduated with my masters I was working as a nutritionist and a personal trainer. So I have always had other business or other things going on while training for a fight.

I am an aggressive style boxer and I will be in there to mix it up, but it's going to be in a smart way.

I am just focused on what's in front of me. I really can't worry about or complain about the WBO situation at this point.

I have the talent and the tools to win.
