Thank you for all of your contributions to the sport, Manny. From the kids you helped keep off of the streets, the champions you helped mold, to the insight you provided on HBO. Boxing will miss you. Rest in peace.
Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing I was just given a call by Jim Lampley, who tells me that Emanuel Steward has passed away."He's gone," were his words. RIP
Klitchko put a statement up on him dying and updated there cover page to a manny picture, only to later remove both. They have took them both off the page. Hmm what does this mean....
Yeah he is, and rightfully so, RIP Manny...prayers with his friends and family. The boxing community is worse off today than it was yesterday.
The good die young, he will be missed, wlad will start to enter demon mode in his fights, and still Arum lives on....
Even more confirmation... Eric Raskin @EricRaskin CBS News Radio just called, told me Emanuel Steward's foundation confirmed his passing. Not just a rumor, sadly. RIP to one of the greats.
He's gone, had about 4 different confirmations now. God damn it what terrible news :dead Rest in Peace Manny.
This keeps getting stranger by the minute. Manny's sister is saying he's still alive. http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/sports/emanuel-stewards-family-disheartened-by-reports-of-death
