He was a force to be reckoned with in the middleweight division. It's sad to see such a vibrant personality

This is so sad used as promoters is an understatement he went 1-15-3 over the last 10 years of his career he didn’t have to go out like that I remember his fight with Mundine like it was yesterday. Echols at his best would have flattened Mundine in a round but had a bullet lodged in his armpit from a recent shooting. RIP.

Devastating for the family. A true warrior and a humble soul outside the ring. He will not be forgotten.

Dude was a fxckin' warrior.

Guy got shot and kept fighting anyway with a bullet in his body.

Gave Hopkins a fright.

Facts

Went over to Alvino’s house one morning and Antwun was asleep on his couch. When he woke, we introduced ourselves and shared some cherry skoal.
Antwun could run like a marathon runner and punch like a heavyweight. He always sparred fair in the gym and was never dirty.

It was criminal the way he was treated at the end of his career, 9 straight KO losses.

RIP

It's sad, but nobody forced him to fight, and nobody told him to have 23 children. Even Holyfield had to blush at that one.
