“It was lucky for me. It wasn't lucky for the nine people that got kill...” — Barney Ross Quote

It was lucky for me. It wasn't lucky for the nine people that got killed and the 20 that were injured.

We were very fortunate that the carriers weren't in the harbor.

The gunner's mate came up and started breaking the locks on the ammunition. Everything was locked up for fear that someone might go in there with a cigarette or something.

We managed to get underway, and I don't know to this day why we didn't get struck or take a torpedo, but we didn't. We got outside of the exit of the harbor and we started dropping depth charges.

I was 20 years old at Pearl Harbor. I was in the Navy about a year and four months before the war.

Being injured is something that happens in this sport. Anybody who gets into it understands that.

This is the fight game, where somebody could get seriously injured, and that's what I'm looking to do when I get in there against Conor McGregor.

The situation was, the team I was on when I got injured went down to the lower leagues. In America, they don't have that relegation, so when the team went down to the lower region, every player has his value, and they went off and sold any player who had value.

When someone tells you a fighter's injured and they tell you to go after an injury, it really throws you off.
