"I respect the decision but I believe 100% that I won the fight. But anyway, we have to respect my opponent also. The decision has been done already. We have to give credit to him."

"To the fans, you know in your heart who won the fight. It's okay, that's part of the game. Being an athlete, the best attitude is respect and professionalism for this boxing world."

"I want to thank everybody for showing the support. I hope you're not dismayed or discouraged on the result of the fight. I'm still here, I can fight."

"This time we give thank to God before anything."

"Thank you to all the media and to all the press. Because of you, we become popular. My name is written in the history of boxing because of you guys."

"I didn't listen to the announcement because I believe that I won."

"I want the rematch. It is up to Bob Arum. That will make me a warrior in the upcoming three months. In the rematch, my thinking is I don't want to finish the whole 12 rounds."

"I was very thankful for Bob Arum for giving me an opponent who was always coming inside, and to fight toe to toe. I'm very excited for that. I thought he's not going to run. My goal is to knock him out. But what happened is he ran. I don't know why."

"I give him a couple of rounds, maybe 3 rounds. There are some rounds, where I relaxed. But almost every round I hurt him. I know he felt that."

"I really thought that Bradley will fight toe to toe. You know he's been announcing he's going to knock me down. In my training, my preparation is to fight inside. But in the fight, I'm surprised he backed off."

"Religion is personal. In the sports of boxing we have to respect what the judges did."

"I prefer to fight here in Las Vegas. MGM has promoted a lot of my fights."

"I think he was hurt everytime I landed my left hand."

"I tell you the truth, I don't even remember if he hurt me. He hit me with a couple of jab. I don't even remember if he hit me with solid punches in the face. Amazing on what they saw of this but it's okay."

"I have an exercise that we do in regular training. The equipment cannot fit inside so we prepared it on the other room. We did the exercise there before the fight in the treadmill."

"I want to thank Team Bradley. I want to thank my family, my wife and kids. I want to thank Top Rank. I want to thank my manager Cameron Dunkin. I want to thank HBO pay per view. I want to thank MGM for allowing me to go back here and do something that I've always dreamed of as a little kid."

"Pacquiao is a tough, tough warrior. This guy can punch, this guy has speed. He has everything, all the tools. I injured my left foot in the 2nd round, twist my ankle. Both of my ankles really, swollen. I got hit with some big shots early on. But you know I persevered. I went through the pain. And use my boxing ability towards the end to clear some rounds, maybe the last 5 rounds to victory."

"I want to thanks my fans that came out to see the fight."

"I'm still shocked. I don't really know what to say. But I'm happy, the new welterweight champion. My team and I we did it baby. I’m ready to shock the world. I definitely would like to do this again."

"You know I heard the boos at the end of the night, which is okay. But we need to definitely do this again in order on November. And let's make this more decisive."

"I think I step on the ref's foot, you know on the 2nd round. I twisted my ankle. Went back to the corner and said I think I broke my foot. My corner said 'Well, what do you want to do? Do you want to quit?' Well I keep going. I caught my second wind it was on the 6th. Felt a little tired. I felt I was carrying the fight with my jab. Make Pacquiao miss a lot. For the most part, a lot of the shots he was throwing missed."

"I had to step around. I felt the pain in my foot but I just had to block it out. Just keep on fighting. Just fight it through. I got one injured on the top part of the foot where I felt the pop here. And then I had another injury here where it's completely swollen on the side right here on my right foot."

"It's just my balance of the ring because was just spongy. Try to elude his strong shots. That left hand is very powerful. But once I got to start moving not only using my jab, it started a little bit easy. But I still have to be careful 'cause Manny he came on strong in spurts."

"I was told by my corner that I had to win my last couple of rounds to win the fight, plain and simple. My partner feels like I was winning the fight. Manny miss a lot of shots in there that everybody thought that he was hitting me with. He wasn't touching me. You can look at my face, I'm still pretty clean. He caught me a couple of times, I'll be honest. For the most part I just kept my composure, use my jab."

"He was fast, but he wasn't blazing fast. The thing that I like Manny is that he can put his punches together, like power shots. You know threes and fours. And they're all hard shots. I've never been in the ring with somebody who can throw six punches and all of them extremely hard. This guy very gifted, he place his shots very well. Uppercuts, step around to the side, right hand. He's very quick in there. He’s very smart, lots more than I thought he would be. He's more of an action fighter who likes to trade with those standing in front of him. When I go outside, use my jab, I control the action."

"You know what? The funny part was there are three judges out there. That's the way they judge. So what do you want me to do? That's the way they judge it. My corner felt I was winning the fight. There were three judges out there. Two of them felt that I won the fight. That's all I can say on that. But we definitely have to do it again. I am definitely going back to the drawing board. I know where my mistakes were. I should just go back and correct them."

"I felt those shots but I'm in really good shape. I didn't go down. Most of his opponents he faces go down or get hurt. But I got hurt once in there that's why I got to hold. He came with a bunch of punches. But you know I survive."

"He kept his hand pretty high. He blocked his body very well. He's very schooled. He kept trying me to fight him, to open me up. Try the big shots to knock me down. When I started going in the 7th round, Manny couldn't get off like he wanted to. He would come in with a left, make him miss. But the jab pretty much controlled the fight from 7 on."

"I never feel like I'm losing a fight. I felt like he caught me with some good shots in the round but I always felt strong in there. One round, I felt like damn he came on strong. I was like he won that round but you know I came out the next round and I controlled the action. He landed big shots in there. One big shot vs a lot of shots. 'Cause I was landing on him and I felt that I won the round."

"I just try to win. I go in there, sometimes be aggressive. I see him tired, breathing hard. Manny he gives you opportunity to fire at him. He wants you to open up so he can fire at you. At times I give him that opportunity and those are the time where he landed a big shot at me. But I went back to my corner, and just listen to them. I did my jab and just kept moving and at times I had to take chances go for it and bang the body a little bit to force the action."

"The rematch was all my idea. It’s just part of promoting a fight. You know, hyping it up. I felt like I was going to win the fight. Regardless of the circumstances, a lot of people think I didn't win the fight. So the rematch is in place. He's there, the date is there. Will definitely be a different fight in the rematch."

"My corner they just want me to box all night. Like I said I know I win. I came out aggressive at times. Just force the action and fight for the fans. I just want to win the rounds. That's it. At times I was boxing, I wasn't sure if I was winning rounds or not. Just have to be aggressive at times and just try to win the round."
