'I actually lost my first three amateur fights. The opponents were from El Marañón Gym, and they would bring the best fighters. But at least I got three dollars out of the deal. A dollar went to my trainer, I gave $1.50 to my mother and I kept 50 cents so I could go to the movies. This was the greatest thing ever, I thought - a lot better than all the crap I had to do on the streets to hustle for money. No more shining shoes or selling papers for me. I was going to become a boxer.'
