Thoughts and prayers for his love ones.

A news story from 2002.

I went to the same high school as this man. He was well known for being a drug dealer/hard man/bully/petty criminal in the local and surrounding areas for years.

Sad to see anyone die as a result of participating in the sport we all love.

So he was sentenced & locked up 10 years ago? Presumably the guy did his time & was perhaps trying to turn his life around?

Or maybe not. RIP.

This is why I talked my friend out of white collar boxing, sometimes the mismatches can be disgusting. There was a couple of door lads who used to train in my gym who would have white collar fights, hiding their records to boost confidence by fighting novices. I moved around the ring with my friend and once he took a couple of shots from someone who could box he decided against it. Hopefully there are no more injuries or worse.

RIP
