00:00Definitely. And I know your last fight, it's been a while, it was July 2022. I want to
00:08ask, how are you feeling? Like mentally, physically, how are you feeling?
00:13Mentally and physically, I feel better than ever. You know, that was the best thing I
00:16ever did was just letting the world know that how I felt because millions of people connected
00:23with me and millions of people feel the way I feel. So I feel like I inspired a lot of
00:27people and it helped me. It helped me get stronger. I feel great. I feel better than
00:33ever.
00:35So what, I mean, I don't have any doubts in you. I've seen you fight before, but for those
00:39fans who have any doubts, like, you know, the break, the ring rust, like what is your
00:42message to them?
00:44I've been down in my whole career. You know, if I would've listened to them, I wouldn't
00:48have been here right now. But, um, it's all good. You know, as long as I believe in myself
00:54100%, that's all that really matters. And people know when Danny Garcia comes to fight,
01:00it's going to be a fight. You won't get entertained.
01:03I agree. And, uh, I know it's your first time fighting at 160. Usually you're like in the
01:07140 range. Do you, do you think you'll like this better than 140?
01:12Yeah, definitely. You know, I can definitely work out. I can be happy. I don't have to
01:16lose so much weight. I can focus on my skills. I can focus on doing and getting better and
01:23just focus on my mind and just less worrying about losing so much weight. You know, at
01:29my age, I'm definitely feel like losing all that weight is going to hurt me instead of
01:34help me. So I think it's perfect for me to fight at this weight at my age.
