It's not the black belt that you wear on your waist. It's the black belt in your heart and knowing that you can go out there and you can do it. That's what a true black belt is.
When boxers fight 3 minutes (per round), they have 3 minutes to box, so they are not in a hurry to show the judges who is winning. They have time to slow down their feet. In 2 minute (round) fights, they don't have time to slow down their feet. It's a fast speed because they only have 2 minutes.
I always wanted to box.
What happened to the men's boxing is happening to the women's boxing, but not all the time. Every now and then, you get some really great fights. It's a money thing and how many people are going to buy that pay-per-view for the fights. The UFC is eventually going to go that way.
I feel that when you are a world champion, your title has to be taken away from you.
Boxing is really hard because you have to be in really good shape to have all those rules and just using your hands.
It takes a lot when you are a professional fighter to stay in top condition. You have to sacrifice a lot and I did.
Fighters before a fight, they shouldn't get riled up.
I am a woman and I don't have the power and the strength of a man, so I have to use my technique and my strategy more than just using brute strength like some of the guys do.
Belts are immaterial. What's material to me is who have you fought, how many rounds have you fought, how many fights have you fought.
The belts to me, they don't really mean much to be honest. It's the people who I fought and me going out there competing and fighting.
Either get on the boat or get off the boat.
Through Biblical times, there have been great women warriors and now the sport is so populated that these are the women warriors that we have today in boxing, kickboxing, and MMA.
In the martial arts, the guys respect the women fighters.
I want to get out there. I want to show myself.
I wanted to get in the ring and be like Muhammad Ali.
You had women's kickboxing and they're in the ring and that's what I want to do. I just wanted to fight.
It doesn't matter in MMA if you're a woman or a man. You're going to fight 5 rounds, 5 minutes (per round). If they want a real world champion, then the fights should be 12 rounds, 3 minutes (per round) for a woman boxer and you'll weed out some of the world championship fighters.
