Last Saturday night I run into a guy with a lot of ambition who wanted to win very much. Was in great condition and was obviously well prepared to fight me.

After the fight I was taken to the hospital to make sure that I was alright and everything came out fine. Now I'm looking forward to getting some rest and spending some time with my wife (Andrea) who is due on February with our first child (a boy).

Raheem's a difficult fighter. He never really wanted to fight. He threw punches and moved away, and I had a difficult time catching up to him.

I want to give the fans as much as I can for as long as I can,

You don't have that many opportunities to do something great all of the time, ... I think winning a fourth title (in a different weight division) would be great.

You know, I'm very aware of what I've done already, but I think I can give the fans more, ... I think people expect more out of me. They expect bigger fights, more championships, you know, do something great at 135.
