    What ever happened to this guy? Did he land on his feet post boxing or is he playing that trumpet for change at some subway station?

    Good to know. :good

    I have no clue what his people were thinking throwing him in with Epi Mendoza. He was a good prospect, but that was too much too soon. Sh*t, Epi took Lacy to hell and back.

    That dude had a cannonball of a left hook. Nobody ever did to Larry marks what he did.

    Perhaps you guys are thinking of Michael Olajide, he writes for the mag. Good fighter he was.
    Tokunbo i believe is his brother, his career was derailed by Epifanio Mendoza.

    Tok took a few more fights after the loss to Mendoza . He did seem to be cut out to be something other than a boxer. An interesting prospect but props to him for making his choice and wish the best for him.
