    Ronnie Nathanielsz Passes Away at Age 81

    I saw BoxingScene tweeted out that Ronnie Nathanielsz passed away earlier today. He was 81. From what I read he had a heart attack at the San Francisco airport on the way to Pacquiao-Vargas to do the broadcasting.

    Sad. I followed him on Twitter. Always had insightful things to say and didn't hold back criticisms.

        I always thought they should have made him write fluff pieces for former fighter of the decade Roy Jones Jr. At least one piece to every three Pacquiao fluff pieces. All jokes aside, he will be missed.

          Dang, Ronnie was a good dude.

          He had a massive heart attack on way to cover the Pac Vargas fight.

          People always knew a Ronnie article because he started off with Fighter of the Decade lol that was his signature for every Pac article.

          RIP he looked young for 81, I always thought he was only in his 60s.

                  RIP. He was knowledgeable beyond the Pacquiao stories, he's spent a great deal of time in boxing. Good commentator.

                    I used to say crap about his articles cause they always talked about how good Pacquiao looks in camp and never posted any pictures or videos of it and I feel kinda bad now.

                    RIP Ronnie and I apologize.
