Stern tókst þriggja tíma, tveggja deild Randall “The Knock Out konungur” Bailey, öldungur þungavigtar Sherman “Tank” Williams, Marcus “Arilli” Upshaw og fyrrum Kúbu Olympian Robert Alfonso.

A mjög vel kaupsýslumaður, Williams explained that Stern also had a law degree and studied at one point to be a rabbi. Si recently returned from Romania, þar sem hann styður Williams á baráttu sinni, á sunnudaginn, Ágúst. 30 and he suffered a heart attack the following day at home in Key West.

Bailey og Stern félagi, Dave Johnson, ásamt syni Stern, Gary, og dóttir, Cynthia, were bedside in the hospital with Si for several days until the end. “Ég talaði við Si á sunnudaginn nótt (Ágúst 30) og fékk símtal næsta dag sagði hann hafði verið lagður inn á sjúkrahús,” Bailey útskýrði. “Hann þola stórfellda hjartaáfall.

“Si was a great guy and a good friend. As a manager, he always fought for his boxers. If nobody else cared, Si elskuð; ef þeir gætu ekki gert það, Si would do it. I was with him nearly 10 years and nobody was throwing money our way. It was hard for us. I only made enough money in a few fights, eins og þegar ég vann í heiminum titil, where he took any money. If Si had your back, hann myndi fara í stríð við þig.

“Hann myndi keyra upp frá Key West til Miami til að sjá mig en, í stað þess að gista yfir nótt, hann myndi keyra aftur. Hann myndi hringja í mig hringja í mig 10 times while he drove home. He was so happy to get me a promotional contract (AK Kynningar í Kóreu) og hlakkaði til baráttu mína október 4^th in Korea. I’m dedicating that fight to Si and we’ll be doing something special.”

Williams var stjórnað af Stern í fortíð 11 years and they had a special relationship. They had dinner together in Romania and flew back to the U.S., koma Sunnudagur, Ágúst 30.

“Si var miklu meira en yfirmann minn,” Williams offered. “Hann var góður vinur, a viss um að ég gæti alltaf treyst á að fá ráðleggingar, in and out of boxing. Si was an all-around good man. We had many deep discussion about politics and religion, mér að vera kristinn og Si Gyðingur, sérstaklega að eyða svo mörgum dögum saman í Rúmeníu.

“We all lost a good man in Si Stern. I was proud to be represented by Si. He wasn’t in boxing for the money. He was an important part of my life. He was always there for me and all of his fighters. Si never took a short cut or spared money. Si Stern was the best manager I ever had.”
