My dad was a big part of our boxing careers. A lot of great memories. We're all really going to miss him.

I have high hopes we will improve our recruiting out of Southern California.

I use that to motivate them. Especially at our home gym. If our kids want to challenge for league, they have to win at home. I try to use every angle to motivate the kids.

It's our job to step up and set the momentum for the offense. Once our defense gets it going, we're a hard team to stop.

I know there has been a (housing) dilemma in Phoenix, ... But the reality is most people have a spouse who works. . . . Because of the two-income family, people who are police officers can easily afford a home.

Los Angeles is really the only place where I can go and say our houses are only $250,000, and people will get excited about that. I can't do that in Oklahoma or Texas, but I can do that in L.A.

All my friends think we?re going to get slaughtered. I really do think we?re going to win. I just want to shut everyone up.

I'm not trying to pick a fight with Southern California agencies.

I've always told all my customers when they called that we have the best water around.
