    I remember Certo in McGirt's corner for what I believe was the first meeting with Whitaker. Buddy wasn't throwing the left hook as often as Al would have liked, and he was shouting " we're not gonna beat this guy unless you throw that F***ing hook, What the F**k are you waiting for !?!?"

    This is what Certo had to say about the McGirt-Whitaker fights years later (taken from Kevin Mitchell's book, 'Jacobs Beach').

    "Buddy was something. It's a shame when we fought Whitaker. That ******* name, Whitaker, it aggravates me. 'Cos I know what Buddy would have done to him. He would have knocked him out. If we would have had two hands, we would have knocked him out, guaranteed. He had no left hand and his right hand was shakin', and he was already humping his brains out with broads, you know? Two years prior Buddy was slipping...But that's another story."
