On what he thinks of the Super Six super middleweight tournament:
“Well I’ve seen it. I trained one of the kids that was in it. I trained Andre Dirrell. I trained Dirrell, but the guy who I believe will win—who I think will win that I have seen is the kid from California. He’s the Olympic Gold Medalist.”
I looked at the Super Six, when I seen Andre Ward was one of the better fighters in it. I’m not saying the other fighters weren’t good, I’m just saying Andre Ward was one of the better fighters in the Super Six tournament. Andre Dirrell is good, too, but I just say that I thought he was a better performer. Not because he won, it had nothing to do with him winning. It’s just that he had the guts and the balls to get in there and do what he needed to do from what I’ve seen. I had never seen him until the day he fought. I had heard about him, but I never knew nothing about him but when I looked at him, I said he’s a well schooled fighter.”
