I might beat him up, I might knock him out. I will win. [How] I do that, I have no idea.

I'll get in the ring (with Brinkley) when everything - the money, the promotion, the event - is right, ... I've had (10) pro fights. I'm smart enough to know I'm still in a learning phase. I'm not going to be pushed into the ring by rude comments. Log onto www.jessebrinkley.com and support him. Log onto www.joeygilbert.com , too. See you at Tahoe. Thank you.

If you don't think it's a good deal you don't think you should be doing this challenge or that – tough! You signed the contract you've got to participate. Do your best, be a role model. Be an emissary for the sport that you love, the passion that you love. Show other kids why boxing is a great sport, give it that positive image. And just be the man. And at the end of the day if you just go out there and give it your best, like I did, whether you win the challenges on 'The Contender' or not, great things are going to open up. I'm the proof of that. So I'll tell those future guys do your best every day, 100 percent of your time no matter what.

The scared side of Joey Gilbert is gone. There is no doubt in my mind that I can win this fight.

It's ludicrous, ... I'm not going to dignify his rude, disrespectful comments with a response. I'm not going to say anything bad about him. He's a great guy. He's just misguided and misinformed.
