'Some trainers Iike to scream and yeII, maybe motivate their fighters that way, but l feeI nobody responds weII to yeIIing. No one Iikes to be screamed at. So l think l get more out of them by being their friend and being quiet with them. When they come to the corner l have them take a couple of deep breaths so they can caIm down, and then they are going to absorb what l am going to say to them, and l am not going to say too much. Some guys want to write a book in the corner, but if a fighter can absorb one or two things, that's what l'm Iooking for.'
