After every fight, I knock myself down. I start from scratch again. I say, 'I'm not as good as I thought.' It makes you work harder. It makes you push harder. It's more than money. It's more than the title. It's my pride, and it can be scary thinking about it. I could lose. It's scary.

I've learned that the key is to fight with no pressure.

I like to win without fighting. But if I can't, then I'm prepared to fight.

You learn who you really are in a fight - what you're really made of. You have to face yourself and rise above your own fears and failings.

If you begin feeling beaten, you will achieve nothing. If you fight, you will perhaps have a chance of achieving something.

I try not to worry about what people think and what people think I should do each fight, how impressive I need to be. I need to go out there and win; that's what it comes down to.

My experience has been in a short 77 years that in the end when you fight for a desperate cause and have good reasons to fight, you usually win.

When you've something to fight for, you get the best out of yourself.

Since I've started fighting it has taught me a lot about self respect, self confidence and self control.

My real fear with fighting is just not letting it go out there and hang out. I don't fear other guys. I'm just scared I'm not going to go out there and give everything I have. Like I'm only going to give a fraction of the things we trained and worked on.
