"Fighting in the ring, it’s two different things. It’s because you’ve got a lot of obstacles out there in the street. You can fight with a bottle, pipe and all that stuff, but in here, this is when you really become a man. This is to let you know if you’re a man or a boy because the way I learned how to be a man or a boy, is like, hey I was a boy when I got in here, I got beat up by my sister, I got beat up by my cousin, I got beat up by my uncle, if I came back and took that beating, that just made me madder to learn better and that’s what made me stay and that was my future. Just like this young man here now. You’ve been in the game now, what, four or five years. Four or five years, okay, he knows the beatings that he’s took over the years, and hey, it’s obviously paid off for him because he’s still here. So this is his drive, this is his future right now, this is what he wants to do, this is his job, so he’s here for this job, so that’s what’s driving him. "
