“It feels great. I lost a lot coming into this fight. I lost my house in a fire when I was in Paris getting over here. I got the word my granddad isn’t going to live too long – he’s got six months to live. I missed my little girl’s birthday … it just means a lot (to win). I’ve got a lot of stuff back at home that I’ve got to get ready for, good and bad, but I’m just glad to be back in the win column.”
“I’ve got a couple people I’m looking at. Me and my coach are going to get in the lab, talk to the boss man and see what we’ve got going on next. I’m just trying to keep it going.”
