"I had a double but he never worked in the fights, I had no interest in that," he said, "I trained for as long as I did so that I could actually fight. I trained like I would be prepared to get hit. I sparred and did get hit, and our pact to each other, me and Antoine (director Antoine Fuqua), was that if you do get hit, even in training, or up close to training, or even in the fights themselves, then we would just use it."
