“The first fight was incredible but he got old the second fight,” surmised Paz. “He fought way closer to when he was a champion when he fought me the first fight. He was awesome. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t hit this guy.’ I’ve only said that in a couple of fights… Roy Jones, and Roberto Duran. In the second [Duran] fight, we fought in Atlantic City [at the Convention Hall near the Trump Plaza]. [Donald] Trump’s cool as hell, I hope he gets back in the presidency… Anyways, the second fight with Roberto, I was moving around in the first and second round, in the third round I go, ‘Wow! This guy slowed up.’ He got old overnight. When you’re in your 40s, you can’t fight nobody at the top level. You can’t fight at that top level, but when you’re in your early 30s, your 20s, you’re an animal. He [Duran] was an animal, but I was saying, ‘Wow, did he get old?’ In the first fight, I couldn’t hit him.”
