I love Shonie. There's a whole chain of buffet restaurants down here named after him that have a teddy bear as their mascot.

But anyway, back on topic; I do love Shonie (for his personality as well as his skills) I just like Matt a lot more for the same reasons as well as the fact that he's come across on the show as a very effective and selfless trainer / instructor / corner man. Somebody who's friendly and down-to-earth enough that you feel you can trust him and learn a lot from. Shonie (and others) owes a lot to Matt Serra for what he's done for them during the show.

I'll always remember Matt's gravelly Long Island New Yawk voice, corner coaching during the matches; "Don't forget the foot stomps, they're there for you... NiiiicccE!
