- Mickey Ward: Alice, this is Charlene.
- Charlene Fleming: Hi.
- Alice Ward: I've heard a lot about you.
- Charlene Fleming: Really? I've heard a lot about you, too.

- Mickey Ward: You went ten rounds. One of the best to ever do it. He couldn't hurt you. You were my hero.

- Neary: I plan on moving right through Micky Ward tomorrow, moving on to other great fighters, like Gatti. Yeah, I believe Gatti and I'd make a great match.
