    What a bummer. I met Tommy at an amateur tournament back in the mis 90's. Super nice guy that was Lou Duva's right hand man and son in law.

    A very solid trainer. Last I remember seeing him was with David Price but he worked with a litany of HOF'ers.

    Rest in Peace

    Awesome that you got to meet him. Always liked Tommy. Great trainer that could bring out the best in many fighters.
