Northeast Ohio is always an underdog.

I've grown a lot in this sport. I've seen a lot. I've experienced a lot.

One of the guys I admire in this sport is Andre Ward... I kind of hang on to every word that Dre says. I really admire him and everything he's been through in this sport.

I think, for me coming into the game, the way that I came into the sport and the business being ran the way that it was ran for me, I was always told who I would fight, and there was never really ever a fountain of guys to pick from.
