ESPN has reported that Greg Page has died of complications from his KO loss several years ago to Dale Crowe. His wife Patricia says funeral arrangements are to be announced.
May the champ always R.I.P.
Page,big,strong,fast and a hard-if not one-punch KO bomber,was another of
Don King's boys whom "The Teflon Don" ruined by inactivity or-in Page's case,
hand-picked stiffs who blunted Page's competitive edge until he got fat and
indolent,eventually losing his title,and,with King's swindling millions from him,
having to fight for chump change against dudes he'd have quickly dismantled
in Page's prime.
I know some people criticise refs for jumping in too early sometimes, or when a corner stops a fight....but sometimes it only takes one devastating punch to cause serious health problems.
