    I didnt agree with a lot of what the guy says, but it's a loss to the game nonetheless

    RIP

    There was little fluff with some of what he said. But his writing was very good and he knew a lot about and saw a lot in the sport. He was also a very good character. Good friend of boxing.

    RIP.
