Emmanuel Steward has cancer ?

I noticed he had really thin hair and a good amount of balding during one of his last fight telecasts. I was actually kind of shocked cause I didn't remember him being that bald.

 

Get well soon Manny. Cancer is a ****ing *****.

 

God damnit, hope this isn't true, if so, hope the man pulls through.

 

Here's an article that is posted on the main page, where it mentions that Steward is in hospital and is going to undergo surgery for an unnamed disease:

MONTREAL (September 19, 2012) – In a few more weeks, Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) will begin its ninth year of operation. As previously announced, the GYM Boxing Series “Fast & Furious” is back with an improved version 3.0 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, presented by Mise-O-Jeu and Videotron, supported by the Bell Centre and Evenko.

Stevenson vs. George

Damn. :-(

 

Yeah, I think it was the Pac-Bradley fight. Steward hair looked thin and he had alot of gray.
I even mentioned it to my brother that Emmanuel seemed to had aged 10+ years overnight.
Could be he was already going through cancer treatments.

 

I hate hearing this, the thought of losing another old timer makes me sick.

 

I Wish the greatest trainer in boxing a speedy recovery

 

I noticed it too, but figured that it was just that he was 68 and that some people lose their hair quickly once it starts to go.

 

Too bad. He missed Ward-Dawson and Lampley mentioned it and moved on. Thought it was just the flu or something ya know, a bad day. Hope he gets it together...

 

I hope no. Best wishes to him.

I hope he will recover soon.

Very sad to hear this.

 

He definitely needs to take a break. His work schedule is nuts for a 68 year old man.

 

Okay Diverticulous is a much much better and more reasonable diagnosis then cancer thats for sure. I hope that report is true.
