I'm not into being competitive. I never saw myself as a competitive type of person.

I was 11 when I started boxing. My brother was fighting before I did, and he got me into it.

The best feeling is to win by knockout.

The motivation is in my heart to work toward my goals and my dreams.

We put our body and minds and lives on the line for being in that ring for the fans, that's why I respect fighters. Unless they don't respect me then I can't give any respect back.

A lot of guys just punch with their arms; they don't utilize every part of their muscles they can use. I know how to use that, and that's where the power comes in.

Not only did I win the fight, but I won something that's more than a fight could ever give me and that is gaining back a family.
