    Is this the same Quiroga that died in a stabbing incident? How sad for both fighters.

    Yes it is. Quiroga was killed over a Movie Poster that he alledgedly stole from a member of a motorcycle gang (if I recall correctly).

    What's crazy is that in Gaetan's previous fight, Hart's opponent, Ralph Racine, fell into a coma following the conclusion of the bout. McLean's magazine in Canada documented what occurred by putting Hart on the cover, with the rather unfortunate title of "Hands That Kill". :-(

    This. Usually those posters have never been near a boxing ring much less inside one. It forever changes how you view boxing when you've done it yourself.
