1:00 – 1:12 – my favorite place to compete is here in San Jose at the SAP Center…a world championship fight to a sold out crowd. My favorite out of all…

1:27 – 1:31 – my proudest moment is winning the world championship for the first time. It was an incredible feeling.

1:46 – 1:55 – when I was a young kid, I was super fast…I would punch the kid and then move off to the side & they couldn’t see me anymore. so that’s how they called me the ghost”
