“You are like you were in the last few fights, that’s what you said. I'm still one of the best in the world. Just as I heard in the fight against Calvin kattar, I now heard: 'Arnold is going to be the guy who breaks my jaw, because I'm too slow, too old or something like that' and then I have to prove it. I went there, hit and was hit. We exchanged good blows, like Roy Jones Jr does. It seemed good (…) I just laugh at these people. They have nothing to say, you know. I’m old at this game”, declared Max.
