I'm quite a ruthless, cold-hearted bastard. I always have been.

I've been through the highs and lows. I know what it's like to taste defeat and it's not nice.
I'm involved in fight of the year nearly every time I fight because I put it all on the line. I don't look to keep out of the way and nick a decision.

I always like to get that finishing blow and satisfy the crowd.
I look back at the first Groves fight, and it was all so bad, so wrong. Everyone was telling me it was going to be easy, the bookies, everyone. Like an unprofessional fool, like an idiot, I listened to them. I didn't give myself the best possible chance.
