Growing up as an amateur, I wasn't much of a power puncher. I was more of a speed guy.
From Nonito Donaire
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.
As long as I have that support from my team, and I have that confidence in myself that I train really hard, I think there's no one out there who can defeat me in my weight class.
Usually, sprinting is my main source of energy and recovery time because that's how I move.
Moving up and fighting the best keeps me hungry.
I was always scared in the amateurs, but the minute I got in the ring it was like another person took over. I become more vicious. In there I love to hurt people. Outside I can't hurt a bug.
People call me a nerd because I like to spend time on the computer.
My Internet friends who I play games with say, 'This guy's a fighter?' I'm the last person they expect to be a fighter.
The best feeling is to win by knockout.
I'm not into being competitive. I never saw myself as a competitive type of person.
