Have another look at him, because when I go out in the next week, there will be no more of this internet bullsh-t, every move on the internet. Head down, work, and get a body. Learn to move again. Learn to twist and be awkward. Herky jerky. Look like a fighter, man. Look like a warrior. He\u2019ll look like a f-cking Spartan by April, and he will be heavyweight champion of the world again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cIt does matter.
