If he wins, it's a whole new ballgame, ... It's a step up, and if we can get in that position, I guarantee we'll be right back in the fold. And if a guy like Peter, with his punching power, can't come through, then we're in trouble. Where would we go? What would we do?

If he wins, it's a whole new ball game. It's a step up and if we can get in that position, I guarantee we'll be right back in the fold. I thought Kirk Johnson was going to come through for us.

It's hard to start from the bottom.

We would walk away from big, big fights and we would say, 'It looks like you got hit twice,' ... He would say, 'Nah, three times.'
