I just don't want them to come back in two years and say they are turning the lights out at Holy Trinity for good.

I own a business, and my wife was expecting our first child, and boxing out of Nashville is pretty hard anyway. And I just had a lot happening and my family takes priority, ... There weren't any great opportunities happening, and I was just focusing on my business and my family.

I had to give give it up. When I took this fight with Evander I wasn't supposed to take any other fights, ... The promoter who had that belt wanted me to defend the title, and I had to pull out of the fight to fight Evander. These titles like that, nobody really recognizes them and nobody really pays attention to them.

After we relocated the gym, it sort of gave me a little new life and I decided to fight while I still had a few good years left.

Absolutely I was a fan of Evander, and I still am,

A host of environmental and genetic influences likely influences or determines whether somebody with this particular genetic variation ends up being dyslexic or not. And until the nature of some of those other influences is fully specified, we won't know what it means to say to somebody that their 5-year-old child has this particular genetic endowment.

It all depends on what kind of fights come my way in the next few years,
