Nice! Sounds like the right weight for you if that's how you're feeling. Get out there and kick some ass!

This is what I feel at this point in my career I need to do. Im feel Im a better fighter than Ive shown in the ring esp as of late.





As far as the move to Welter Weight goes I feel great. Im more athletic. Im in much better condition, my hand speed is back, an I would go as far as to say Im alot quicker than I was at my previous best.





I feel just as strong physicaly if not stronger do to much greater flexability.






Im not going to make any predictions or promises. Ive been very humbled as of late. Ive been handed a real wake up call.







Im going to give it my all 100% and do my best. Its Do or Die for me. Im All In! I love to fight. Im a real fighter, an like I said the day I dont think I can be a World Champion is the day Ill retire.




Im not done yet, I have alot of fight left inside me. I have alot to prove to myself an alot of people to prove wrong.










NEVER SAY DIE !!!

Smart move Phil. Sometimes, you just need a fresh start and next thing you know your back in the game. Wish you luck in Welter and hope to see that awesome hand speed back.

How hard of a cut is that going to be for you?? I think it is a good move you have looked really bulky and stiff at 185 as of late. If you can make the cut I would be excited to see you at 170. Keep letting them hands fly your always fun to watch. Good Luck.

This is pretty exciting to hear really. I think Phil could do a lot of damage at WW.
