fighting looked
I never thought I'd be fighting him. I always looked up to him.
altitude body couple feeling felt hooks
I went to the body a couple of times and that kind of slowed him down. Then I started some lefts and right hooks because he was a southpaw. I felt good, but I can do way better. I was kind of feeling the altitude today.
philadelphia long world
It's amazing to be a Puerto Rican fighter, we have a great history of fighters. I say this all the time, 'I'm Puerto Rican, raised in Philadelphia so I got the best of both worlds. I got the Puerto Rican power and the Philly toughness. It comes a long way.
couple dad grandma
My parents always talk about Puerto Rico. My dad's whole family lives in Puerto Rico. My great grandma lives in Puerto Rico and I got to meet her a couple years ago.
couple fighting journey
The last couple of years have been a good learning experience for me and a good journey. My first world title fight I fought Erik Morales and how much experience do you think you can get from that? A lot of people thought he would beat me because of experience. I've faced a lot of experienced fighters.
