"For being laid out like I was against Pacquiao, my body, it was good, man. The Monday after the fight, I was back in the gym, and everyone was like, ‘What are you doing here?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know, I’m thinking about just working out.’ They’re like, ‘Get the heck out of here!’ They kicked me out of the gym. So I was just relaxing, wanting to get back in the gym a couple of weeks later, and then it was one thing after another with my knee."
