Josh Miley

That's just extra motivation for me. I want to prove the coaches wrong. I've beaten a couple kids who were ranked in the Brakeman, but I like the underdog role anyway. There is less pressure this way.

Alton Merkerson

As strange as it sounds, Roy wasn't motivated for those two fights. Roy is either self-motivated or he's not motivated at all. For those fights, he was bored. He was tired of pleasing other people. The second Tarver fight; he figured he'd beaten Tarver the first time when he was weak and had trouble making weight so now it would be easy. I didn't get what I should have gotten out of him in camp. And with Glen Johnson, it was the same thing. You can't make a fighter train if he doesn't want to. He might come to the gym but he won't work right while he's there.

Kim Smith

This is a small district. If they're looking for that kind of money, those kind of benefits, they should be in a bigger district. They're welcomed to leave. They're welcomed to work some place else that can pay them what they want. We can't, it's that simple!

J. Taylor

We tried a bigger guy on him, then we tried a guy with a little bit of speed and I thought he did a great job of adjusting. I think 25 points speaks for itself.

Some handle it well, some don’t handle it as well. I’m not saying it’s right, and from a locker room sense or from a team sense, I’m not saying it’s wrong. It’s just the way it is.
