There\u2019s where we\u2019ll find<br \/>\nout. Even if he keeps talking trash what should I do? Go to America<br \/>\nto chose him? He\u2019s like a domestic champion. Just a home boy who<br \/>\nacts like a big hero in his gym. For example, if they invited him<br \/>\nto Azerbaijan, he wouldn\u2019t come just because he\u2019s scared. He won\u2019t<br \/>\nleave America. And if we had to fight, he would say, \u2018Come to<br \/>\nAmerica.\u2019 Because he knows I can\u2019t go there now. So he\u2019s just a<br \/>\ndomestic champion. If he ever comes to Abu Dhabi he\u2019ll ask for five<br \/>\nsecurity guards.
