We'd always said boxers shouldn't lift weights. Now I realize some champion boxer started that rumor. I noticed if I did weights a couple of times a week, I would be able to hit that jab a lot longer. After sparring, everybody's gone, and I sneak into the weight room. Spend 40 minutes in there lifting weights.

I always lift weights very heavy and spend a lot of time in the weight room.

When I was a boxer, I wanted to be champion of the world, not the richest man in the world.

I wasn't sure if he was going to pitch (tonight). He tweaked his back lifting weights and it was 50-50 if he would pitch.

I started lifting weights last summer, so I am improving with the shot put. That has always been one of my lesser events that I didn't care for in the past. It is a challenge for me, and I see that I'm getting better and more consistent. It is definitely a challenge trying to balance competing in three events during a meet.

I spend around two and half hours on the track every day running and another 2 hours in the weight room lifting weights with my strength coach.
