I had eight blood transfusions. I lost half my blood and 25 kilos in the hospital and I had to fight to get healthy and fight, so I Having my kids see me stand my ground and finish eight rounds with a talented fighter half my age, in a packed Dallas Cowboy, is an experience no man has the right to ask for. .
