It's very relaxing for me to sing. It's a good break from the hard training and the fighting.

My concern is what fight we can give to the fans. My first concern as a boxer is to try hard and give a good fight for the fans.

I don't even remember if he hurt me with even one punch. Amazing what the result is.

My #1 driving force is my lord and savior Jesus Christ. Also my family, my wife and children.

Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you're entertaining people.

I've always fought for my country, in my own way, showing that Filipinos are a strong people and can do anything that they put their minds to.

I still think about the time when I was fighting for my first real big fight against [Marco Antonio] Barrera back in 2002. I know he can come in thinking that he has nothing to lose, and that's why I have to be aware of that.Always be prepared.
