“Si was a great guy and a good friend. As a manager, he always fought for his boxers. If nobody else cared, Si ou pran swen; si yo pa t 'kapab fè li, 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, tankou lè m 'te genyen tit la nan lemonn, where he took any money. If Si had your back, li ta ale nan lagè avèk ou.
“Li ta kondwi moute soti nan Key West nan Miami yo wè m ', men, olye pou yo rete lannwit lan, li ta kondwi tounen. Li ta rele m 'rele m' 10 times while he drove home. He was so happy to get me a promotional contract (AK Pwomosyon nan Kore di) e li te vrèman kap pou pi devan nan batay mwen Oktòb 4th in Korea. I’m dedicating that fight to Si and we’ll be doing something special.”
