That was like getting ordtak

That was like getting knocked out in the last second of a title fight.

It nearly cost me my title, ... I was exhausted from throwing the punches that (should have) knocked him out. I gave my best effort to knock him out and I did that. Then, when the fight should be over, I've got to find the effort to do that all over again after he gets 70, 80 seconds rest! That wasn't right and I was very concerned for my title at that point.

It's easier to just fight to defend your title. After the Robin Reid fight, people said you should have knocked him out. If I knock a guy out, they say he's a bum. Nobody will be able to say that about Jeff Lacy. There is no debating Jeff Lacy. A win is a win now and I need to win this fight.

The talent and skill were always there, but I took shortcuts, ... If I made weight, I thought I was in shape. I won my first sixteen fights on talent alone. Then I fought Eric Harding. That was a wake-up call. He broke my jaw. I knew I was hurt bad. There was pain from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head. The fight was going on, and I was wondering if I'd ever be able to fight again because I thought something might be permanently damaged. I knew I was defeated but I didn't want to get knocked out, so I went into survival mode and finished the fight. Then, after the loss, I asked myself, 'How bad do I want it? What am I willing to do to get it?' I started taking better care of my body and working harder. I worked my way back to being the number-one contender. I could have just sat back and waited for a title shot. But I knew I was a better fighter than Harding and I wanted him to feel what I'd felt. So I signed to fight a rematch against him and knocked him out.

Right after you fight for a title and win the title, you don't want to lose it your first fight. This is going to be an action-packed fight.

One fight against a guy whom [the media] has made into this little monster, once he's knocked out, they're going to say, 'Wow! [Klitschko] is the best,' ... That's why we took the fight. This one fight and he can jump over everything.

Emanuel Steward (1944-)

Jeff satisfied his mandatory against top-rated contender Robin Reid in August so he wouldn't be stripped and the fight would be a true world title unification fight, ... Reid was no warm-up fight.

Every time a fighter comes out to fight me, this is almost a world-title fight. This may be the closest he gets to the big time. So absolutely, I'm pumped and I'm ready for each and every fight.

"Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention. I had to give give it up. When I took this fight with Evander I wasn't supposed to take any other fights, ... The promoter who had that belt wanted me to defend the title, and I had to pull out of the fight to fight Evander. These titles like that, nobody really recognizes them and nobody really pays attention to them.

With what happened to Marquez and Juarez losing, the floodgates have really opened up for Robert. The next step is either to fight an eliminator or to fight for the world title.

I thought he won the fight. I just knew that the cuts were going to make the fight more difficult. Now, we don't have the Monty we usually see. But he showed he can go through adversity and still come out and be a world-title holder.

Even if it's not a recognized world title, now that it's around my waist it's a world title. The timing is right (for Baldomir). He wants to make money. I want to win two more titles. So let's fight.

Joe is a great champion. I have a lot of respect for him, ... That's why I wanted this fight so bad, because I have a lot of respect for him and I considered him, up until me winning the world title, one of the best champions in the division. And I want to fight the best.

We matched Silence against Vargas to contest a title eliminator. Marquez turned down the fight with Silence, saying he was not interested to fight in South Africa.

I wish I would have knocked him out but I'll take the win, ... I feel like I'm definitely at the top now. I'll fight anybody.
