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.

My success is not about the wealth and fame. I am most concerned with my relationship to God, which is the most important.

I'm not against gay people.

I'm just a regular person who believes life is simple, and I like a simple life.

Anyone will succeed in whatever field of endeavor in life by acquiring the same virtues and character that boxing world champions do - dedication, perseverance, courage, extreme self-discipline and prayers

I grew up in the Philippines, and I don’t think there is a problem with the typhoon. It’s normal for us.

As for me, I always train for 12 rounds just in case. I don’t train for three, four, one, or 10 rounds - I have to train for 12 because you never know what will happen that night.
