attack danny dog four great kids moved owner since
My kids bathed him all the time, and we know the owner since we moved here, four years, and he's a great person and we're friends with him. We never thought that the dog would attack Danny and we never thought that they would do what they did to him,
crying kids screaming
My kids are very traumatized now. They were screaming and crying in the kitchen,
animal came heading officer police policeman saw shoot shot stay wait
It was terrible, and I even told the police officer when I saw him heading down, I said, 'Where are you going? Why don't you stay here and just wait for animal control?' And he said, 'I'm just going to go and take a look.' He didn't say he was going to go and shoot him, and he didn't shoot him; it was another policeman that came and actually shot him,
milk teeth stuck
Milk Duds. It doesn't' bother me that it gets stuck in my teeth or anything.
real winning thinking
Even when people didn't think I was the real champion, I got called out anyway. So now when you get a good win the first person people think of is me. I guess they thought it would be easy, but nothing comes easy.
couple fighting journey
The last couple of years have been a good learning experience for me and a good journey. My first world title fight I fought Erik Morales and how much experience do you think you can get from that? A lot of people thought he would beat me because of experience. I've faced a lot of experienced fighters.
couple dad grandma
My parents always talk about Puerto Rico. My dad's whole family lives in Puerto Rico. My great grandma lives in Puerto Rico and I got to meet her a couple years ago.
home fighting ideas
I said I deserved a home fight, either Philly or Puerto Rico, since I'm always going to someone else's place to fight. Everyone thought it was a great idea to go back to Puerto Rico.
crazy fighter honest
Nothing to be honest. I am a fighter. I'm crazy already. I'm not afraid of ghosts or anything.
becoming becoming-more
My Spanish is coming along, I understand everything. I've been working on becoming more confident when speaking.
mean fans
The Puerto Rican fans have supported me and it means a lot. I'm a Puerto Rican just like they are.
moving class summertime
I was ready to move up a weight class, but I can still make 140. If I'm back in the ring in the summertime I know I can make 140 with the heat. I've always been disciplined so it's no problem for me.
boxing scream minutes
Besides Scream, I liked The Purge. It stuck with me because it reminds me of boxing - you have 45 minutes to punch someone legally without consequence.
philadelphia long world
It's amazing to be a Puerto Rican fighter, we have a great history of fighters. I say this all the time, 'I'm Puerto Rican, raised in Philadelphia so I got the best of both worlds. I got the Puerto Rican power and the Philly toughness. It comes a long way.
