I’m a little surprised that Jimmy wants to get back in the ring with me after the beating he suffered in our first fight. I’m very respectful of Jimmy and what he’s done in the past, and I even have to say I like Jimmy. However, on November 15th we are not friends, he will be my enemy, and my intention is to win even more convincingly than I did in 2012. I am training hard and will be ready to put on a great show for all the fans. I am looking to pick up in the first round of this fight right where I left off in the 10th round of our first fight. ”
