From Wikipedia, take it with a grain of salt: "Corrie Sanders was shot and killed in an armed robbery at a restaurant on 22 September 2012. The shooting took place in Brits, where a function was being held for his nephew's 21st birthday. Sanders was wounded in the stomach. He was taken to hospital in Pretoria, where he died in the early hours of 23 September 2012 of his wounds. "Corrie didn't try anything heroic, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. They shot him in the stomach. There was also a wound in his arm," an eyewitness said.[3]"
All you really need to know about Corrie Sanders the Man was to watch him after the Wlad KO when he arrived at the airport back in South Africa and burst into tears when he spotted his young son ! What a Fighter...What a Man ...What an Athlete ...What a Warrior !! Rest in peace Corrie ....you have my admiration and Respect for a Lifetime !!
You are Dead Wrong...Klitschko fans including myself have and had nothing but RESPECT for Corrie Sanders ....He was a WARRIOR and a Champion and beat Wlad Fair and Square like a man! He also gave Vitali a Tough tough Fight while he was not 100%....RIP SNIPER !!!ALL RESPECT TO YOU and prayers for your family....
RIP Corrie. For those who don't know about what South Africa is like, I've lost several relatives in similar situations. The whole 'shooting at random' thing in the article is no joke.
I'm a German and we do not have a death sentence. However, even if I am in general against it, in some cases (and only if guiltiness is 100% proven), it is the right thing...
RIP Corrie. He'll always have a place in history for taking part in one of the heavyweight division's better shoot-outs (with Rahman); and for creating one of the sports more unexpected and spectacular upsets by stopping Wlad in two incredible rounds.
RIP. Loved Sanders fighting style wasn't scared of anyone. The only guy that actually tried against both Klitschkos and wasn't intimidated. A Class individual. This is awful :-(
What is it with people shooting boxers?:huh RIP Corrie... Will never forget you knocking out Wladimir.
I've read a lot of mean-spirited posts on this site, and I've read a lot of posts that could be classified as utterly racist. The posts quoted is certainly both, and is completely uncalled for given what just occurred. Seriously...**** you. The world is a little worse without someone like Corrie Sanders in it. Based on the content of this post, I'm not at all certain that the same could be said for you.
