“Si was a great guy and a good friend. As a manager, he always fought for his boxers. If nobody else cared, Si li importava; si no podien fer-ho, 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, com quan vaig guanyar el títol mundial, where he took any money. If Si had your back, que aniria a la guerra amb vostè.

“Hi havia viatge en cotxe des de Key West a Miami per veure a mi, però, en comptes de passar la nit, tindria viatge de tornada. Ell em diria dir- 10 times while he drove home. He was so happy to get me a promotional contract (Promocions AK a Corea) i va ser molt ansiosos de la meva lluita octubre 4^º in Korea. I’m dedicating that fight to Si and we’ll be doing something special.”

We had many deep discussion about politics and religion, a mi ser cristià i Si un Jueu, especialment de passar tants dies junts a Romania.

“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.”
