Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities.

People can do more than they ever believe they can do. Physically, mentally, academically. You have to be pushed. It hurts. But it's worth it, and it's a great thing.

I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me.

They say that I'm stubborn, and my wife says that, too, but it's paid off so far.

Inactivity is the biggest sin in boxing.

My toughest fight was myself. For me to disclose and let things out was not easy because we don't want to seem weak or like we are different, but I learned that it's okay.

A fighter never knows when it's the last bell. He doesn't want to face that.
