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

He's going for the home run, I'm going for the grand slam. If he gets a lot of strikeouts, I'm getting a shutout. I just have that positivity, that mentality that I can conquer whatever he gives out.

I lived my life where I didn't have anything. I lived my life where people picked on me. Now that I am in a different light, I appreciate every moment of it.

The best feeling is to win by knockout.

As a boxer, you have to put risk in to get to another level.

I need to take a punch in order for me to throw that hook.

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.
