    Just this week two fighters have been killed Rashi Wells and Ronney Vargas

    I think that when your in the spotlight at any level you have to be in safe

    surroundings at all times.

    I myself have been a victim of the HATERS and I was only an amateur, this is

    sad and families are left with the void of " WHY " my heart goes out to their

    families, and may the R.I.P.

    It's really unfortunate for Vargas, but what was he doing out at 3:30 AM? I know that he's a kid, but he's also a professional. He needed to be aware of the people he was hanging out with and his environment. When has anything good ever happened at 3:30 AM?

    when your a professional of any kind, don't expect anyone to fight you hand to hand.

    Absolutely :good



    Also don't assume that just coz you know how to box you also know how to streetfight.

    Too common a mistake with a lot of the folks I know :-(

    People in general sometimes run in bad circles...not just boxers. There is some misconception that only athelete are vunerable to attacks of character or even physical ones, or that they should be held to a higher standard than a regular old joe...I'm rabbling...in short, R.I.P. To the young dudes.
