[TheAliKoca]

This is still my favorite post-fight interview of all time and there is no close second. LOOK AT ME NOWWWW!

[imadeyoureadthis.]

3:13 such a small detail, but the fact that Leon amidst all that euphoria apologized to Joe speaks a lot about the type of guy he is.

[TomasArepo]

“ I was born in Jamaica with nothing, I lived in a wooden shed with a zinc roof. Look at me now I’m world champion.”
Absolutely incredible words from the humble champ.

[yazer]

The way he said "Look at me now" hit different. You could feel the raw emotions he's projecting. No doubt the most inspirational win

[kalamiess]

I still come back to this after their 3rd fight. The only post fight interview that ever made me cry. I was always rooting for Leon

[mumu]

Best post fight interview of all time, no doubt. That "I was born in Jamaica with nothing, i lived in a wooden shed zinc roof, look at me now" gets me all the time. So inspirational man.. Doesn't matter if Leon loses against Usman at the trilogy, this one is for the books.
