Getting to meet him brought chills to my spine. He's a special person. Not only was he a great boxer, but he was an outspoken person.

The kid's a special player. He's one of those types that has a knack to get a hit when you need it. You can't teach that. He's a young superstar, bottom line.

Chills just ran down my spine.

The hand is quicker than the eye, I guess. It's one of those where you just show the umpire and hope that you get the call.

I guarantee Pedro can tell you what a guy hit off him five or six years ago. He's very, very intelligent.

It's a shame we blew that game, or he'd be even closer.
