I really didn't care. I'd do something to somebody and walk in front of them the next day like it never happened. I had very very low value on my own life.

The streets was basically my parents.

I was told I would be back in 90 days. If I listened to people, I would be back where I came from - the penitentiary.

I wouldn't wanna fight me, because I know it wouldn't be a good outcome for both.

If I'm in a situation where Duane Ford is one of the judges, I have to pick it up.

I must destroy everybody that comes in front of me. I must execute them and I must do it in grand style. I must slay Robert Allen like I must slay De La Hoya or anybody else that steps in that ring.

It takes a very very strong individual not to be corrupt in any of those things as time moves on. Myself and other people who went that road and experienced that world, some got a second birth of life and some is in the dirt.

When you have somebody that's smart and you're not so smart, to me that's modern day slavery because you're being dictated to.

I am going in there to win this fight. I don't think people are taking me seriously. I'm gonna surprise a lot of people. This guy helped two people make history.
