                      A Great Champion; He Will Be Missed!

                      A class act inside and outside the ring. Met him once and shook his hand in a shopping mall, and he could not have been more friendly and kind. Had a million dollar smile. Won't be forgotten Champ.

                          The guy had no retreat and no surrender in him. His fight with Qawi was epic. He will be missed.
                          Rest in peace Champ.

                              Matthew provided more thrills on Saturday afternoon CBS broadcasts then just about all of today's PPV fighters combined.

                              This cat was for REAL and had to fight way past his prime to earn a living.
                              He knew nothing but the ring and he sang epic tunes of combat within it.

                              Sleep well Champ.
