My dad has been my coach since I was seven years old - from 7 to 18 is when he coached my club team - and so it was always in the family.

Brett Cullen
The Harbor Area is everything - Carson, Wilmington, San Pedro, Long Beach, that whole little bubble that I grew up in. I always throw it up after I finish fighting, I always throw up the Harbor Area. Out of pride. It made me who I am. It brought me my goods; it brought me my bads. It molded me into who I am.

But we'd get sentimentally attached and hate to see them go.
