"When I first started trying to take my shoes off I thought I was just going to take them off real quick and get out of there because I knew I wasnÕt going to be able to hold my emotions back. I heard everybody cheering for me. You know, you go through your whole career I guess hoping that when youÕre done you feel like youÕre appreciated and the crowd was great," said Mango after his match.
