I didn't push Cory. I wanted him to decide if he wanted to go into boxing and he did. Can't blame it on me.

I'm happy 'bout life. Still trying. I ain't giving up on life.

I still am champion in my own right.

I don't want the kids to go through want I went through.

I got hit a lot. I'm glad I lived through it.

Opportunity knocks only once. You never know if you'll get another opportunity.

Kids always need a role model. I let them know you can do it, too, if you really want to.
