Like Ray Mancini, when he killed Ducku Kim, I don't think he was ever the same again.

There's a few guys like that in history that have had boxing matches where they killed a guy, and then they were kind of never the same after that.

Because you realize this is what you're doing.

Yeah, mortality.

This could lead to that happening to you.

And you think about your kids watching on TV and crying or even worse there while you're getting beat up.

I always freak out when guys bring their kids.

I'm like, oh, man.

Bringing a kid to a fight.

you know yeah i've seen guys get knocked out in front of their kids and it's particularly devastating particularly devastating especially when you really like the guy it's rough it's a it's a rough way to make a living but those guys when they get that belt strapped around them when their hands get raised and the whole audience screams and cheers it's like that's a special moment that's a special moment that very few people ever get to experience

It's a different kind of happiness.

I think yours is more sustained.

Yours lasts longer.

That's what I say.

It's like, I don't know.

But you know what the reality is?

After the happiness dies off for a couple of days, then you start thinking about your next fight.

And you immediately start getting that anxiety again.

And it's also like constantly recognizing that you're always going to be at least trying to get better.

You're always trying to get better.
