In school I was pretty fast.

Always push beyond what you can do.

I have a lot of respect for Mexico.

With me, boxing's a beautiful sport.

I believe that he's a boring fighter.

The best feeling is to win by knockout.

If there's a best, I want to fight them.

I was always into cartoons and animation.

He's a smart guy, but I think I'm a genius.

All I know is that I'm proud to be Filipino.

If you try your best, you can always be better.

Moving up and fighting the best keeps me hungry.

When you do your best, there is no impossibility.

I'm training everyday, even though I should be resting.

I need to take a punch in order for me to throw that hook.

As a boxer, you have to put risk in to get to another level.

Whatever happens, I train hard for the fans and their support.

If he wants to box we'll box. If he wants to brawl we'll brawl.

You can't look good everytime, even if you try to no matter what.

People call me a nerd because I like to spend time on the computer.

The motivation is in my heart to work toward my goals and my dreams.

He's such a great kid and such a determined kid, and he's so strong.

I wanted to bring that old school mentality of "Fight Me!, Fight me!"

Growing up, I kind of adopted that mentality, going all out, being a warrior.

I'm not into being competitive. I never saw myself as a competitive type of person.

Everything in our family was always boxing. It was the life my father chose for me.

I was taught to fighter like Sugar Ray Leonard and Muhammad Ali when I was growing up.

He said it's an honor to fight me, well I say that it's an honor to fight him as well.

Growing up as an amateur, I wasn't much of a power puncher. I was more of a speed guy.

Usually, sprinting is my main source of energy and recovery time because that's how I move.

Seeing the Mexican fighters, it gave me, physically and mentally, ready for an all our war.

I was 11 when I started boxing. My brother was fighting before I did, and he got me into it.

I just wanna live the moment and just take every moment and embrace it because life is short.

Criticism is good, you learn from it each time and you know that people are paying attention.

I liked Roy Jones, Sugar Ray Leonard, Ali... those were the guys I was looking at growing up.

Being a world champion is something I'm already proud of and can take for the rest of my life.

I seek to fight the best out there. I seek to fight the champions in every division I go up to.

I'll bring a flower out there and then give them a peace sign and hopefully they'll make it happen.

My style is like Bruce Lee, I'm like water. It's everything from defensive, to counters, to offense.

Even the other kids who people made fun of made fun of me. Thats where I stood on the school food chain.

As much as I have respect for him, this is for the crowd. The crowd didn't deserve what happened tonight.

Even the other kids who people made fun of made fun of me. That's where I stood on the school food chain.

My Internet friends who I play games with say, 'This guy's a fighter?' I'm the last person they expect to be a fighter.

I'll help out in ways to inspire others and ways to get people together and bring about things to help people financially.

Not only did I win the fight, but I won something that's more than a fight could ever give me and that is gaining back a family.

For punches I never really choose, I take whatever opportunity is given to me. If it's a left, I'll take it. If it's a right I'll take it.

I enjoy singing, I enjoy music as much as I enjoy photography, doing filming and stuff like that. I do a lot of things to express who I am.

My father and I, we finally saw each other eye to eye and I think he's seeing me as a man, and I'm seeing him as the father he's always been.

I lived my life where I didn't have anything. I lived my life where people picked on me. Now that I am in a different light, I appreciate every moment of it.

A lot of guys just punch with their arms; they don't utilize every part of their muscles they can use. I know how to use that, and that's where the power comes in.
