You don't get points for leaving the chin open.
When you punch somebody in the ring, you have to use your whole body. I learned that it's more about technique than physical strength.
Once or twice a week, I try to do some kind of boxing. I'm hitting the bags and jumping rope - all that stuff.
I do actually use a boxing trainer when I train for stand-up.
Mike Tyson would have been a good sparring partner for me and Muhammad Ali because Tyson was a fast fighter and he could punch and throw good combinations.
I'm a huge boxing fan. I love the strategy and the combat.
I don't go for knockout punches.
I'm a distance fighter - if you've seen me fight, I like ducking in and out.
I know how to box, how to move my feet.
All my jabs, they're all different. I have a million different jabs.
I think I've become one of the best finishers in boxing; if I hurt a guy, I normally take him out.
Some fighters have a great punch; others don't.
Manny Pacquiao always makes a fake move that I know too well. He fakes a charge forward and then looks like he is going to follow with a one-two. That's a common fake he has.
Fight prep, boxing, cardio, stretching. It's almost like dancing, you have to learn to dance and keep practicing it.
Growing up as an amateur, I wasn't much of a power puncher. I was more of a speed guy.
I love boxing. I like to see the strategizing. Watching the warriors go to work. I like that struggle, going out there and fighting.
