I wasn't going to let it go to the scorecards and I knew I had already played that game before, and there is nothing fair in the game of boxing. I learned that the hard way,
At the same time, I should have been more responsible to my career and the game that has given me so much, boxing. It was a tough lessoned learned. They gave me 1 1/2 months to get prepared for the fight coming off hot dogs, Cokes and a lot of pasta. It was a tough transition.
