    He had power, just never set his feet.

    RIP Burt.

    Pep did something I never saw in boxing. He slipped between Saddler's legs, and quickly turned around to land a punch.

    Burt was 92 in January, and is not doing too well… but he is still with us! At least he was on March 29 (according to Henry Hascup). And if there's a change to this, I'm sure Henry will let us all know here on Classic.
