    Yeah, it was really sad. I loved him as well (no ****) as a fighter. Really great to watch with the perfect amount of skill, defense and aggression you know? They are my favourite fighters. Those guys who are very aggressive, but are very defense/counter based and use those defensive moves/counters for their aggression/offense. Instead of waiting for mistakes, they create them. The Toney's, Duran's, Chandler's, Lopez's, Robinson's, Hearns' etc etc.

    Anyway, he had really bad eye trouble which is what made him retire straight after that and never come back from memory. I think it had started well before that fight too.
