“I haven’t sat down and watched the fight yet to really judge myself on my performance so...I feel good, though.”

“He was like ‘aight, bring it’ or whatever but he was too small. He felt small.”
On how he thinks moving camp to Florida with a new trainer showed up in this fight:
“Like I said, I haven’t watched the fight but I felt like I — I know I worked my ass off and I know it showed. I haven’t let my hands go like this in a long time. And, you know, I was in shape to do it and I was willing to do it and I made it happen.”
On why it took this moment for that to come out:
“I had to switch some shit around and went to Florida and got my mind right and Coach Cunningham he brought the dog back out of me.”
On if we’ll see more like this from here on:
“Oh this is just the beginning! You know, uh, it’s only gonna get better from here.”

“ASAP. I’m not hurt. I’m going right back to the gym...I got that spark back and I’m just ready to do it.”
