Now I'm here. Imagine if I'd kept screwing around those six years. I'd have been in the same place I was. In jail. Or dead. One of those. |
and I'd like to think it was because of environmental reasons, but I don't really believe that. |
Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her. |
Aw, he stopped fighting after the fifth round, ... After that he was just in there to survive. |
Early in his career, when he believed in himself, he said things in a controlled way, very Spartan words, honorable words. Even when he talked about driving a guy's nose into his brain, he didn't mean that in a disparaging way. To him that was something Jack Dempsey might say. He thought it was sportsmanlike, glorious. But now, when he sees himself slipping, he's grabbing for something he never thought he needed before, a stick to take into the ring. |
Even then I watched him, ... I knew he was a game champion and that he wasn't going to go out like a dog. He went out fighting. Even after that last knockdown he was willing to get up. |
Everybody's got plans...until they get hit. |
Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth. |
Everything in the long run will prove that I'm innocent, and I'm just looking forward to that, but I'm not sweating it at all, |
Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn. |
gut like a fish. |
He [Tyrell Biggs] was screaming like my wife. |
Here's a guy that was running away from the pack like Secretariat winning the Belmont by 30 lengths, and now people are starting to question the quality he was running away from, ... Exactly what was he 30 lengths ahead of? ... But now that he's lost and lost in devastating fashion, I think people are asking that question louder and more often. |
I could have knocked him [Tyrell Biggs] out in the third round but I wanted to do it slowly, so he would remember this night for a long time. |
I don't have the guts to stay in this sport anymore. |
