This in one of my favorite quotes



Pound for pound and point for point
I've worked so hard this year,
Sweating and training in this joint.
Every match was mine and mine alone
As I ached and burned from the pain
In every nerve, muscle and bone.
All the days given up to get here
Were worth the work and sweat,
When I look at the mat with confidence
And know a win is what I'll get.
Sorry you came so far just to get beat,
Your family watching you so silent and proud,
As I repeatedly take you off your feet,
On my mat, in my house in front of my crowd.
