00:00 Alexander, you explained in the build-up to this that sometimes before a big fight your dad would come and visit you and smile.
00:06 Did he come to you before this one? Was it any different? And how much do you think it helped you?
00:11 Dad?
00:12 His dad, yeah.
00:13 I heard you said that before a fight your dad would come to you and smile. Does he come to you?
00:27 No, because last time when my father came to me, it was my dream.
00:51 I miss my father. I say to my father, "Hey, listen, you leave that, I leave here."
01:07 Please, no coming for me. I love you.
01:20 I love you, too.
01:23 For me, it's hard when my father comes for me because I remember all my life.
01:44 I love you.
01:46 I know he's here. Maybe like after this.
02:10 Thank you.
02:13 Thank you.
02:15 Thank you.
02:17 [APPLAUSE]
