I knew that I was in my [adopted] hometown but it would be a tough fight. I’m just guided by faith.

I felt that I could’ve thrown more combinations. I wasn’t perfect, and I didn’t want to do anything stupid.

I feel real good, not tired at all. I thought there would be more hype. But I did feed off [the crowd].

He didn’t hurt me. He gave me a chin check. I felt one of his hardest punches and it was nothing. In fact, it got me mad.

I want to be so fast that no one can hit me.

We’ll do a couple more [eight-round fights] first.
