What's crazy is I was just thinking about Lou a few weeks ago. I googled him to see how he was doing.

He was a legendary trainer and I'm sure he's resting with his son.RIP

RIP LOU

My Duva moment... I thought my stomach would break I was laughing so hard watching Lou trying to get Golata focused... Hes yelling at the foul pole during the Tyson fight...Im convinced he would have made 100 if he had never had Golata as a charge!

From 1:39 on, watch him trying to force the mouth piece back into the foul pole.

I remember him smacking Golata trying to get him to listen. Heres the thing: Lou never really gave up on Golata. He was that kind of a guy and he knew Marciano very well.
