FULL TRANSCRIPT

[00:00:00] I'm the best ever there's no one that
[00:00:02] can match me I'm the most brutal and
[00:00:03] ambitious and most ruthless Champion
[00:00:05] there's ever been
[00:00:07] they're gonna fear me
[00:00:11] you have to be the champion before you
[00:00:14] become the champion so that means lifestyle
[00:00:21] you gotta be [Music]
[00:00:26] that's how it starts you look at
[00:00:28] somebody I want to be like him
[00:00:30] you don't say hey I'm a bad mother I
[00:00:32] want to fight everybody out here
[00:00:33] nobody's going to kick my ass you see
[00:00:35] somebody and say hey I might want to do that
[00:00:40] well greatness is when you make your
[00:00:42] delusions your reality
[00:00:44] nothing's impossible for somebody who's
[00:00:46] going to try if you're going to try it's
[00:00:48] capable of being done
[00:00:50] but you'd fight Tyson Fury yeah I find a
[00:00:53] line as The Price is Right
[00:00:59] my whole objective is your total
[00:01:01] Surrender Your Total Domination
[00:01:05] that's why Rogan said when he watched
[00:01:07] you you were intimidated your rage is a
[00:01:10] very unique rage so that's their fault
[00:01:11] to be intimidated how you left my scare
[00:01:14] you for something you look for
[00:01:16] but I respect the person who's willing
[00:01:19] to die for what he truly wants Ali had
[00:01:21] the will of win like nobody to ever
[00:01:22] lived in Boston then he believed he
[00:01:25] projected to his opponent really look at
[00:01:27] how to Lolly beat George Foreman how
[00:01:29] does that leave be funny listen how did
[00:01:31] he beat these guys how did he even beat
[00:01:33] Joe Frazier fighting the way he fights
[00:01:35] he beat them because he refused to lose
[00:01:39] but we have to believe that we're Divine
[00:01:41] and that we learn from our experience
[00:01:43] because confidence breeds success and
[00:01:45] success breeds confidence they go hand
[00:01:47] in hand
[00:01:50] to know who you are
[00:01:53] offered you know I know who I am people
[00:01:55] within the greatest all the time you did
[00:01:57] see that whatever is that I know who I am
[00:02:01] am [Music]
[00:02:02] without self-love and nothing the
[00:02:05] self-love is discipline and discipline
[00:02:08] doing what you hate to do but do it but
[00:02:09] do it love it
[00:02:12] I never wanted to be obscure
[00:02:15] I was born in obscurity and I never
[00:02:17] wanted to deal with that again
[00:02:20] I'm Invincible I'm a Savage a ferocious
[00:02:23] I'm the smartest Savage
[00:02:25] I know I wasn't going to die before I
[00:02:27] became champ
[00:02:29] when this is over everybody's Gonna Know
[00:02:31] My Name [Music]
[00:02:34] [Music] [Applause]

[00:02:42] they got you was there ever a kid that
[00:02:44] got you or no absolutely in order to be
[00:02:46] good you have to lose an understand loss
[00:02:49] the loss is life
[00:02:56] adversity makes the strong stronger the
[00:02:58] weak weaker [Music]
[00:03:03] 11 12 13 what happens next so again get
[00:03:06] arrested and I see Muhammad Ali coming

[00:03:29] I don't know how it happened the spirit
[00:03:30] baby boom I want to be like him [Music]
[00:03:35] and then I get transferred to this other
[00:03:38] facility you know for real bad kids I
[00:03:41] met a German there that was a boxer and
[00:03:43] he used to teach me how to box so he
[00:03:45] took me to a great trainer named custom
[00:03:47] model and that's why I'm here
[00:03:53] I respected Ali and I worship Ali yeah
[00:03:56] this is the moment I know I wanted to be
[00:03:57] a fighter
[00:04:00] [Music]
[00:04:02] so your inspiration happened at 12 years
[00:04:04] old yeah then you meet cause yes how was
[00:04:07] cuss treating you what was his way of
[00:04:09] leading you
[00:04:10] the degree of his peeling
[00:04:13] all that dirt and stuff that insecurity and
[00:04:18] um development into character
[00:04:21] and um
[00:04:23] that's why I had a wonderful time with
[00:04:24] him because everything about
[00:04:26] everything about his life was about me
[00:04:31] this world is one big school and we're
[00:04:34] the student of this world
[00:04:36] the mind is always hungry and mind wants
[00:04:39] to do good but we get so many negative
[00:04:43] thoughts in our minds almost
[00:04:44] overwhelming to be positive [Music]
[00:04:49] listen I've been down and up down and up
[00:04:52] broken up and why am I still here
[00:04:57] because life is gonna give everybody a
[00:05:00] bad hand No One's Gonna Leave Here
[00:05:01] without being tried in life [Music]
[00:05:09] [Music] foreign
[00:05:15] so is that what got you to be willing to
[00:05:18] be disciplined to get what you want like
[00:05:20] to become a champion at 14 years I'm
[00:05:21] willing to do everything it takes to be
[00:05:23] a champion absolutely and then I had
[00:05:25] cuss over there telling me why why
[00:05:27] should he have it
[00:05:28] that's one thing I never had in my life
[00:05:30] being because I always got picked on and
[00:05:32] I never had jealousy or enviness about
[00:05:35] anything and because possess that
[00:05:38] you know and he was coming why should he
[00:05:40] have all that money and you don't
[00:05:43] why why do you believe that he's better
[00:05:46] than you why do you think he should have
[00:05:47] all that money and you don't and he was
[00:05:49] really serious about it and that was the competition
[00:05:54] that's everything breathing that stuff
[00:05:55] right and why should why should he have
[00:05:57] and he's not better than you
[00:06:00] how did you handle that when he told you
[00:06:01] that 14 would it piss you off or you're
[00:06:03] like I'm gonna go train to whoop his ass
[00:06:05] no I had to get there one day what was
[00:06:06] that what was your response to it he
[00:06:08] said one day this guy might really get
[00:06:09] in my head he said man you fighting good
[00:06:12] but I wish you were bigger because I
[00:06:13] wish you were like Kenny Newton uh Mike
[00:06:15] Weaver because they had big bodies and
[00:06:17] they could intimidate somebody and that
[00:06:19] hurt myself I make sure the whole world
[00:06:21] will be afraid of me
[00:06:25] he trained me to be totally ferocious in
[00:06:29] the ring and out
[00:06:31] yeah and that's what I was
[00:06:36] that's where I was yeah
[00:06:40] push yourself more push yourself when
[00:06:43] when you sometimes you have to submit to yourself
[00:06:47] I'm doing everything and first thing in
[00:06:49] the morning three in the morning you do
[00:06:51] your four miles come back three in the
[00:06:53] morning yeah give your four miles come
[00:06:56] back into your body exercise and all
[00:06:58] that stuff after that I'm going out to
[00:07:00] eat breakfast go to the school come back
[00:07:03] from school eat mine then I go back to
[00:07:06] the gym and stick the pot train come
[00:07:08] back at eight o'clock watch fights start
[00:07:11] all over again
[00:07:16] everybody here is going to fight for
[00:07:17] what they love for even if they never
[00:07:20] had a fist fight in their life they're
[00:07:21] gonna fight [Music]
[00:07:24] listen once I'm involved with it I want
[00:07:26] to know the beginning and I want to know
[00:07:27] what came from however started who's the
[00:07:30] first guy that invented it that's your
[00:07:32] time my mind works
[00:07:35] how could these guys in there fight me [Music]
[00:07:40] how dare you even think that you could
[00:07:42] beat me
[00:07:44] and you sound like a mathematician when
[00:07:46] you're talking about the art of boxing
[00:07:48] I was going for it
[00:07:52] there's nothing I would do unless I have
[00:07:54] a possibility of being humiliated
[00:07:56] because when I succeed I truly succeed I
[00:08:00] was bred to climb high and high into the
[00:08:03] sky and Tumble down I am truly grateful
[00:08:06] that I found my wings before I hit the ground
[00:08:13] uh [Music]
