No, because I didn't understand what proud was. I didn't understand nothing. I just understood that... Rules are rules.

I didn't even know there was an option. I didn't think... I know the cops said you could do this, but there was no option. My father never had an option, but the betrayal, the private betrayal was like... And so when cuz... We were partners. Me and Cuz. Cuz was retired. This stupid kid goes up there and all of a sudden I start training fighters. First I want the gloves. Cuz put me in the gloves.

I want the gloves that I had injury, whatever. But bottom line is I still want to fight. I want to turn pro. I want to fight. That was the plan. And... And Cuz had a different plan. Cuz was like, you can't. And he had it set up a little bit, whatever, without getting into it. Hey, he did me a favor. And I'd like to think he knew he was doing me a favor. And you know what? I do think he was.

He was doing himself a little bit of one too. But he was doing it for the greater cause because he believed

in this thing of boxing he he believed that it changed lives he believed that it was worthwhile he believed that there was a power to it beyond the left hook the big picture of boxing yeah he believed in it yeah he believed that to be a champion you had to be special you had to be smart you had to have character you had that you had to be a better person and that you couldn't make a champion if you didn't make him a better person first

And that this could strengthen people. The sport could strengthen people in those ways. So he was married to it. And he was old and he needed, there was no one in the gym. It was empty. And it was above a police station, which was crazy. And he needed an heir to the throne. He needed to pass it on to someone. And he saw something.

And all of a sudden, he saw that my career as a boxer was less important than having me become his air to the throne and become his trainer, his man, his guy to continue, that we could do a lot more for him and for everyone, not just for him, but for everyone. It was more like to keep it going. Like it couldn't die. It couldn't die. And his cousin was afraid that it would die with him.

And he committed his whole life to it. He didn't get married because of boxing. So he saw me as, you know, the little bit of, you know, the seed to plant for more people. things to grow before that plant died. And so he, all of a sudden he says, you can't fight. And I had people tell me that I could go somewhere else and fight. And I could. But I couldn't. Because I'd be disloyal.
