Everything in our family was always boxing. It was the life my father chose for me.
For punches I never really choose, I take whatever opportunity is given to me. If it’s a left, I’ll take it. If it’s a right I’ll take it.
I need to take a punch in order for me to throw that hook.
I’ll bring a flower out there and then give them a peace sign and hopefully they’ll make it happen.
I just wanna live the moment and just take every moment and embrace it because life is short.
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.
Whatever happens, I train hard for the fans and their support.
I’ll help out in ways to inspire others and ways to get people together and bring about things to help people financially.
If you try your best, you can always be better.
He’s a smart guy, but I think I’m a genius.
He said it’s an honor to fight me, well I say that it’s an honor to fight him as well.
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.
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.
I enjoy singing, I enjoy music as much as I enjoy photography, doing filming and stuff like that. I do a lot of things to express who I am.
As much as I have respect for him, this is for the crowd. The crowd didn’t deserve what happened tonight.
I wanted to bring that old school mentality of “Fight Me!, Fight me!”
You can’t look good everytime, even if you try to no matter what.
Criticism is good, you learn from it each time and you know that people are paying attention.
He’s such a great kid and such a determined kid, and he’s so strong.
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.
The motivation is in my heart to work toward my goals and my dreams.
