It is not the length of
a career that wears a man out. It's the amount
of punches he takes. I didn't take too many. I
learned defense. I learned what defense was as a
kid when I used to get a whipping from my
auntie. She used to swing the switch at me, and
I'd pull in close to her. Then the switch would
wrap around me. That was my first defense. |
