The one who doesn't fall doesn't stand up. It happens that I was made kind of an idol. Everybody loses. That happens. I'm a normal human being, as are all of us. If it is God's will, the next fight I'll win... No pressure at all. There is some relief because tomorrow I will go back home.

Years ago we hardly had anything to eat. Now I earn more money and I see every opponent as a man that tries to put me back to that poorer period. That man has to be eliminated.

I do not talk about my weaknesses, I work on them.

The one who doesn't fall, doesn't stand up.

A real strong fighter should always look dignified and calm... I believe that any expression of aggression is an expression of weakness.

One who does not fall, does not stand up.

A fighter, a real strong fighter should always look dignified and calm and I believe that any expression of aggression is an expression of weakness. A strong person will not be nervous and will not express aggression towards his opponent. He will be confident in his abilities and his training, then he will face the fight calm and balanced.

As someone that was a good ambassador of a growing sport, that always wanted to fight the best fighters and always gave the fans the best he could give.

I've never pumped myself up or made myself angry as some sportsmen do. I think that one should treat his opponent with great respect.
