You remind me of an old lady that's past her prime that should be sitting home in a rocking chair doing nothing.

I'm not going to be a coward and make excuses like a lot of fighters when they lose. Whatever the reason, I lost the fight.

This is a fight I have always wanted. I thought Felix Trinidad would be the defining fight of my life but it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. Now I'm getting a chance for redemption. I must win this fight for me, the people of Nicaragua and everyone in the world who loves me because of the way I fight.

De La Hoya doesn't have the pants to stay in the ring with me. He is going to pay for the mistake of accepting this fight.

I'm the champion. You've got to recognize that. My strongest hand is my right hand. You see his eye? I'm going to detach his retina.

There have been a couple different families that have come through the home in the past years so it is difficult to keep track.
