00:11He is not going to get up.

00:14My goal was to be the baddest guy that I can be.

00:19It's the most dangerous sport there is.

00:21A fighter don't care who his opponent is.

00:33are letting some guys that couldn't make it take advantage of them.

00:36Boxing is laissez-faire capitalism run amok.

01:43All I want to do is not die.
