“I knew where I came from. I came from a broken home in Spanish Harlem and I had just gravitated toward boxing, which gave me the opportunity to give back.”

Protector

``If anybody's getting hit a little too much and they're not fighting back, the fight is over, It's about them, it's not about me. I stay invisible, I'm just there to make sure everything is in place and everyone gets home to their families.``

Regulator

``You got to know the rules. If you don't know them, you can't apply them, or know when to apply them correctly``

Professionalism

“Whatever the goals are in life – boxing, college, career, family-there are guidelines to getting there. Embracing the requirements offers your best chance of having the things you truly want.”

Meet The Visionary

“The beautiful part about filmmaking is just the process that happens, that takes place as you try to do that, and what you learn along the way. You realize, “Maybe I don’t want it to be exactly like that, or maybe it just can’t be. But this is what it is. This beautiful mess is who I am.” This is how you’re going to grow, and this is how you’re going to become your own person as a creative.  I thank God for this.”
