Before I Fight, I Always Pray That

I Saw Todd Bridges Talk About Being Abused On Oprah. Something That He Said, Or An Expression That He Made That Gave Me That Little Boost I Needed To Be Open About It And To Talk About It As Transparently As I Did. When I Told My Wife, She Couldn't Believe It. She Was Petrified, Because It's Such A No-no, Taboo, A Hands-off Subject. But I'd Have To Say Hearing Todd Bridges On Oprah Was My Watershed Moment.

My Intention Was To Fight Durán Asap Because I Knew Durán's Habits. I Knew He Would Indulge Himself, He'd Gain 40–50 Lbs And Then Sweat It Off To Make 147.

Were All Given Some Sort Of Skill In Life. Mine Just Happens To Be Beating Up On People.

A Fighter Never Knows When It's The Last Bell. He Doesn't Want To Face That.

Boxing Is The Ultimate Challenge. There's Nothing That Can Compare To Testing Yourself The Way You Do Every Time You Step In The Ring.
