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.

I eat the same foods almost every day. I have my favorites like Filipino beef broth, chicken soup with lots and lots of rice.

I'm doing this for my family and my country.

I was raised Catholic and now I am a Christian and follow of the Lord Jesus Christ. I made the change because the Holy Spirit revealed a truth to me.

The religion is a personal thing in my life and fighting in the ring, it's boxing. It's my profession. God always gives me strength.

I want to prove that he's wrong - he's wearing a t-shirt that says he won the last two fights.

I did my best. I guess my best wasn't good enough.
