Oliver....I'vd checked it myself before this post....I met the man personally. I remember runnin in to Andy in Labongi....I was with my boys and they were going to the clubs after after the fight. I had the previlege of having dinner with the man. He just asked me what I was doing and I said that I was just waiting for a taxi. He said if I would like to have dinner than we'll return to the hotel together. I said great. He asked me what I would like, I said that I longing for a steak. He took me to this steak house and we had a nice chat. We talked about training and the whole K-1. For some reason, the conversation end up in religion. He felt that some of the guys in the K-1 who are using God's name too much during the press conference etc....He said that he believed in God also but he felt it's only him and God in private....How interesting. .He also told me that he found it hard preparing himself for fights without his Thai trainer (Gong...This was before Mike Mcdonald came)Gong had to returned back to Thailand because of sickness...and later passed away. I will always treasure that moment when Andy opened up.....

At the time, Andy was always keepng to himself when everyone (all the K-1 fighters) was mingling together and and partying etc. which he was often criticized by some of the other fighters. But I now I understand (not saying right or wrong). He was a true professional and he fully aware that he could be fighting this guys and he had to prepare himself mentally for it.Everyone is different...After that time, I began to understand the great man. God bless his soul....
