    Some highlights:

    1) He admitted that the first KD was a slip.

    2) He really wanted to finish the fight by way of KO but not in an overly aggressive manner. Calculated but more aggressive than his previous fights.

    3) Their focus during camp was really to get more power behind his punches (I guess also implying the reason for moving down in weight).

    4) He himself was surprised when the ref got in the way of the 9th round KD. He was throwing combinations when the ref separated them so he thought it was over. But when the ref cautioned for them to continue fighting, he was thinking "Why did you get in the middle when I was still punching?!"

    5) He wants the fight with Mayweather. It can't be any clearer than this. He believes the fans deserve that fight. He even replayed his footlocker tidbit just for kicks (as the interviewer suggested).

    6) He pointed out that FMJ said that he should take care of his fight with Algieri first before their fight can happen so now he (Pacquiao) expects that's there's nothing in the way for that fight to finally take place.

    7) He was asked since some of Algieri's punches were connecting, is that a sign that FMJ's will also connect more frequently, to which Pac responded that the focus in this fight was really to get the KO so he had to take those risks/chances.
