Raheem's a difficult fighter. He never really wanted to fight. He threw punches and moved away, and I had a difficult time catching up to him.

This was like a heavyweight fight. We both came out and threw some punches and were a little tired. Then we found our groove and got it going.

After the fight I was taken to the hospital to make sure that I was alright and everything came out fine. Now I'm looking forward to getting some rest and spending some time with my wife (Andrea) who is due on February with our first child (a boy).

Thompson threw more punches, judged distance better and got hit cleanly with only one punch. It was a choppy fight. (Thompson) didn't dominate but part of why Thompson didn't dominate was that Boone did a lot of clutching.

I thought I got robbed. I thought I threw more punches than him and landed more. But that's how boxing is. I just can't believe I lost that fight.

We threw two knockout punches at them and they kept coming. I was pleased with our guys because I felt this was a different type of game than we have had. Our kids battled and were tough and figured out a way to get it done at the end. I am really proud of them.
