On his Semi-final bout:

"I have been starting kind of slow, so I was trying to pick it up really early, he was capitalizing on all my mistakes, so I said to myself, Jevon what are you doing, you are better than this guy, you go out there, you attach, you penetrate, and thats what I tried to do. 

Strategy:

"In the match I was snapping him down and staying really high so he was able to get his arm around, so I lowered down, 

Coming back from behind:

"Its been intense, one of the most intense matches of my season thus far. To be down by 6 at the break and come out on top, thats been a while. Usually I win or loose, its never been like that."

Games experience:

"These Games have shown me a lot, that I can be in these tough matches and win them. Now this experience, I'm in there with the top guys and it is really good."
