"I'm just a little more used to Americans than he is."

"I don't want you messing around with southpaws."

"This guy, the one you want to fight, he looks serious."

"I saw you beat that man like I never saw no man get beat before, and the man kept coming after you."

"Now, we don't need that kinda man like that in our lives."

"Girls love you - Men, old people love you."

"This bum shouldn't be in the same ring with you."

"I want you to show him who you are tonight."

"Punch and punch, till you can't punch no more!"
