“I can box, ... I can punch if I have to but I can really box. That's my forte. Everybody in the heavyweight division can punch, so for me to be just another one of those guys who can punch, it wouldn't make me any different from anybody else. . . . I worked my tail off for this. I wasn't tired at all. I could have gone another two rounds. The running and all of the hard work at the gym, all of them drills -- they are paying off. Every fight we want to train a little harder and add a couple of more rounds to the fights.”
“I really plan on just boxing in the purest sense you can see. There'll be a little flash, hand speed and power. I don't know much about my opponent, but I respect him for coming here.”
“I trained a lot harder for this fight, ... We upped our running by a mile and a half. Instead of training four days a week, we trained six. (Fighting six rounds) is a very big difference.”
