Pennsylvania

EARLY BOXING MEMORY: Winning Pennsylvania Junior Olympics when I was nine. Won a trophy which had to be 2ft tall! When I won that I was the baby in the gym. We had guys like Robert Hines. I got my butt kicked 95% of the time in the gym by guys who were bigger and older than me. But I was too advanced for my level. I beat a guy named 'Bunchie' Williams, a good, good amateur who went 12-1 as a pro but then I think drugs got him. I still see him all the time. He says, 'You didn't really beat me that night, you had the politics with you.' But I knocked him down three times! There was no politics then. We joke. Good connection there. He says Roy Jones is afraid of me.
