All this isn't bothering me as far as what is going on. I adjust pretty well. I grew up a military kid and being all over the place.

In the breaststroke he kind of caught up with me, but I held on. But I wanted to win. I couldn't let him pass me. And I like it in early afternoon. I had to first go to school this morning for a couple of hours. That was tough. But it worked out all right.

I'm real tight with all of them...at least I think I am.

Shelly Finkle is their manager - the best manager in all of boxing - Shelly will make the decision when they are ready, ... He will let me know, then Russ and I will work to make the fight with Shelly. Anthony and Lamont are already fighting 10 rounders. I think they are both really strong, really skilled -- within 24 months they will be fighting for world titles.

It took Vonda 15 minutes to regain consciousness. The light bulb went off in my head. Sooner or later, Ann was going to hurt a girl.

It was a good swim, both of them were good swims. I felt pretty nervous. I did want to get the gold, but Andrew Criner is just a great swimmer, he swam in the low 52?s.

It's been crazy. It's going to be similar to Lewis-Tyson, and you're talking about a $15- to $20-million economic boom for the city of Memphis, and an untold amount of exposure. It's just going to be huge.

It's sad. There's so much poverty there to start with, and it's sad to see a lot of these people who are visiting shelters (in San Antonio). It's sad to see, because these people didn't have a lot to start with. Now they have even less. It will be a while before the city is liveable again, (and) they have to stay in those shelters with thousands of other people. They may be stuck in shelters for a year or so. A lot of people were wiped out. And people will have to start all over again. It's rough for a lot of people in New Orleans.

It is tough to say who will be a champion first. Each of them excites me with there ability and dedication to the sport. I have never met two more dedicated and focused kids in my life. They know what they want and they will let nothing or no one stand in there way.

This includes its ever-developing business in the provision of tracks, buckets and other spare parts for the machines.
