"I felt good at this weight class. I know I will do great at 185. I have unlimited endurance, so at middleweight I'd have a lot more endurance, and I'd feel better. I felt stronger than him tonight. I know he probably weighs 20 to 30 pounds more than me. So you might see me in my next fight, maybe at the White House, at middleweight."
