Confident fighters are dangerous fighters. I know that. But there other fighters who said before a fight they were stronger than me, hit harder, were going to knock me out. Walters is a good champion but really how many quality fights has he been in compared to where I have been in my career? We both have speed, we both have power. It's an explosive fight. This is going to end in a knockout. I will go into the ring and do my best.

Being a world champion is something I'm already proud of and can take for the rest of my life.

My father and I, we finally saw each other eye to eye and I think he's seeing me as a man, and I'm seeing him as the father he's always been.

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.

I was taught to fighter like Sugar Ray Leonard and Muhammad Ali when I was growing up.

He's such a great kid and such a determined kid, and he's so strong.
