“Si was a great guy and a good friend. As a manager, he always fought for his boxers. If nobody else cared, Si Niahy; raha tsy afaka manao izany, 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, toy ny rehefa nandresy izao tontolo izao lohateny, where he took any money. If Si had your back, dia Te handeha hiady miaraka aminareo.
“Dia Te fiara niakatra avy Key West ho any Miami mba hahita ahy fa, fa tsy nijanona nandritra ny alina, Te handroaka izy indray. Te hiantso ahy izy miantso ahy 10 times while he drove home. He was so happy to get me a promotional contract (AK Promotions in Korea) ary tena miandrandra ny ny ady Oktobra 4faha- in Korea. I’m dedicating that fight to Si and we’ll be doing something special.”

“Si dia mihoatra lavitra noho ny mpiandraikitra,” Williams offered. “Izy dia namana tsara, dia matoky afaka miantehitra foana amin'ny ho toro-hevitra, in and out of boxing. Si was an all-around good man. We had many deep discussion about politics and religion, aho hoe Kristianina sy Si Jiosy, indrindra fa mandany andro be dia be miaraka amin'ny 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.”
