The only time I was out of it in my pro career was after being clipped in the first round by a slow journeyman named Isagani Pumar early in my career.

Brutality is what brings fans to the game. Savagery is what has made boxing great. It has elegant moments and it has savage moments. But it's still a great game. One on one it can be beautiful.

Well, Diego left the division and he didn't fight everybody.

Am I let down that I made the same mistake twice? ... Yes, I should have learned from the first fight.

I said it was going to be hell or high-water the first time and I'm saying it again ... I will go through hell to win this fight.

I only stayed at 130 pounds to get back at Casamayor.

Congratulations to Castillo, good job.

Solitary confinement ... Two months of staring at the four walls of my hotel room.
