You don't win a fight by the size and the weight.
I believe I'm better than everybody when it comes to footwork, timing, reflexes, defense, you name it.
We fight smart, fight intelligent, pick our shots, be very smart about how we place our feet. That's how we win.
I'm very confident in my skills and my abilities. I know what I can do.
I've always wanted to do things different, always wanted to be the person who stands out from the pack.
I want to do things not many have done.
I bought a Lamborghini, SV Aventador, one of 600. Modified. There's other 'Lambos' out there, but that one I have is unique.
My parents' story is a great example of the American dream. Their struggles, their hard work for a better family... it inspires - that no matter how bad it might seem, you can always move past that and better yourself.
I will never forget seeing my parents coming home from the strawberry fields, looking through their bags to see if they had any leftover Doritos bags he'd buy.
At one time, when I was first starting, when I was first champion, I wanted to be undisputed champion so I could hold all the belts and no one else could say they were champion. Then you realize the boxing business, the politics, get involved and it's not very likely you can accomplish all that.
Every fighter has a different agenda. Every promoter has a different agenda for their fighter. Every manager has a different agenda. So things change all the time.
I want people to look back at my career and say, 'That guy never backed down from anyone.'
A lot of fighters are counted out after a loss, and it's really what you do afterward that offers an explanation to your career.
I don't take easy fights.
I never had a dream to be a boxer.
I never dreamt to be headlining a pay-per-view card. That was never a goal.
Growing up in Oxnard you're a Cowboys fan, bro. I remember when I was like six, seven years old my cousin gave me a sweatshirt that said 'Cowboys' on it and ever since then I said I'm going to support the Cowboys.
I can do a lot of things that other fighters can't.
One loss is not the end of my career.
I feel that my body is not made to be a natural welterweight. But my abilities and boxing skills will allow me to be successful even at 147.
