The best way to take a punch is to look at it. Honestly. Someone could hit you with the hardest punch that they have, but as long as you see it, it's not going to knock you out. It's the punches that you don't see that knock you out. So you could get tapped with a small punch, but if you don't see it, you're out.

You never know when something's going to hit you in a particular way and just knock you loose.

When you knock people out, it's sometimes a very scary situation - but I always hoped that no one got seriously hurt. Now when I see them get knocked out, I laugh. When you finish the game, it's funny. And when I look at film of myself, I think, 'I wouldn't fight that guy.'

I'm not just a guy who can knock people out.

In boxing, they say it's the punch you don't see coming that knocks you out. In the wider world, the reality we ignore or deny is the one that weakens our most impassioned efforts toward improvement.

When I throw a punch, I mean it.

Usually in fist fights you get punched in the face.

Guess in my brain I have a figurative 'man card' that's got certain punches that need to be punched.

The fight will last as long as I allow it to last, and then I will knock him out.
