(01:50) - Round 1: Introducing Johnny, on the spot, Halverstone - “When you see someone who has done so many things, talk about his journey and that you can't help but want to do that, to make an impact on this terrible disease and help fight this cause.”
(04:49) - Havo’s first boxing experience - “You just really learn that getting punched isn't that bad. And it's not devastating. It's not crushing, and you push forward. So I think there's that moment.”
(9:25) - The Match - “This is what you've trained for, this is what you've done the pushups for, this is what you've done the cost for. And you remember what you're gonna fight for.”
(12:42) - Round 2 - “Even when someone's gone, cancer isn't a sentence, and there is something that goes so much further in their legacy and in their kids and watching them.”
(16:10) - Haymakers for Hope legacy - “Haymakers been a journey that's been able to continue and being a part of the board. I've just seen it expand to new cities, DC, Denver.”
(19:04) - Round three: Boxing as a lifestyle - “The coaches, are such interesting people and give you skills that don't just help inside a little ring, but I mean, I repeat those quips every single day. It makes me a better leader, a better executive, just a better, more interesting”
