Wow, that was surprising. I thought he was only in his 40's. Pancreatic cancer takes you out fast. That's what killed the NFL's Gene Upshaw a couple of weeks ago.

[Silencers]

Rest in peace.

man Thats sad I never even knew he was sick! I used to see Oscar Suarez all the time on TV but wondered what happen to him.

He was a very popular trainer back in the day.

I was as shocked as everyone else to hear of this. I only had one encounter with Oscar, this at a boxing card last year. We were both staying in the same hotel and his fighter Patrick Lopez was about to fight Fernando Angulo later that day. Suarez was a very pleasant man who spoke fondly of all of his fighters, even the ones who had split less than amicably with him. I found him to be very knowledgeable of the sport but not condescending, like a history book of a sport I had seen primarily through a TV lens. He will be sorely missed.
