Boxing becomes easy work when you fall in love with your craft.

I feel a great commitment, a duty, because I was raised here to keep boxing alive in this area. I tell people on Beacon Hill about the history of boxing in Brockton. I enlighten them.

If I wasn't going to find a Hilario to train me, someone who's sincere, then I'd become a Hilario for someone else. It's a great irony that I got expelled from school for fighting and now I'm teaching people how to do it.

All the hard work that has gone into creating and growing our weekly Guilty Boxing cards is paying off.

Going into some big fights, I felt good because boxing is something I love to do. Then I got away from it when I was all serious in trying to be great.

I have a love for boxing.
