Tough Week for the Puerto Rico Boxing Community

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In what was already a bad week for the Puerto Rico boxing community with the upset knockout loss suffered by Miguel Cotto at the hands of Antonio Margarito, is now the sad news that the mother of hall of famer Wilfed Benitez has suddenly passed away. Clara Rosa Medina, Benitez' 81 year-old mother died of unknown causes late last week. She had been in good health and aside from suffering from high blood pressure, there were no other known medical issues, so her demise came as a shock to the Benitez family. [details]

Thats what i figured if they sellin part of it to eat...


But how could you be the beloved B-man in puerto rico and be starving to eat?

Won't someone like Trinidad or cotto lend a hand in allowing you to atleast eat decently...


I know I woulda helped tyson out plenty of times if he ever needed money and i was rich... of course i'd be making sure it went to him bettering himself.. like a house or somethin.
