I tell people all the time, nobody wants to be hit. You have to trick a man, to hit a man.

Zaveck is a tough guy. He has never been knocked down and I love putting people to sleep. Knowing that he has never been knocked down is a true test for me

I'm in love with boxing. It fell into my lap and I have been in love with it ever since.

What I try to do is find a weakness in my opponent. A way that I can hit you. One good, clean shot. Try to time it. If I can get it and the shot is there, if I find that shot in the first round and they go down, they go down. I'm prepared for anything, not just to get first round knockouts. If they're there, I'm not gonna resist to take them.

So far the biggest accomplishment I give myself is getting the silver in the Olympic Trials. Even though it's kind of a defeat. Not too many people make it that far. I do see it as an accomplishment and one of my greatest.

I'm confident that I can steal rounds by getting inside and throwing punches.

It was my dream as a kid was to make history.
