I have good hand speed.
I'm an overall sound fighter, a boxer-puncher.
I want to be able to fight on pay-per-view against the big fighters and do big numbers.
I'm not really into researching my opponents or other fighters other than the ones that I like.
I just train hard and fight who is in front of me.
I became a champion super-fast.
I'm preparing myself to be a great, great fighter and also a big star in the sport.
I've accomplished a lot at a young age. It's all because of the hard work that I've put in for my entire life.
I'm just trying to stay grounded because I know what I want to do in the sport.
I do see myself being that big star. I do believe I have the skills and ability to be that big star. I just need to be me, be fan friendly and keep connecting with the boxing fans.
In the amateurs we fought four or five times a week so we always had different opponents.
I've been battle-tested inside the ring and outside the ring.
There's nothing Pedraza can bring to the ring that I haven't seen before.
After school let out around 2:30, I'd go straight to the gym to be the first person there, even though it didn't open until about 4:30. I was the littlest one and I was good, so they took me serious.
Normally when I train, I'm all mad, thinking about all I've been through to push me.
I've always been the type to know that if I'm getting off the track, I know, 'OK, it's time to tighten up.' I feel like I can see it before it comes.
It's hard to continue to be great and have so much on your back, knowing that even a little mistake can mess you up for good.
I'm the top dog.
My mother used to leave me and my brother in the house by ourselves. The authorities came and got us. It took a year or two to get us back with my grandmother.
When it comes to Baltimore I want to say that it's actually a lot worse than what you see in 'The Wire.'
