    Read on a website that it was robbed last night and they took nearly everything inside, including a ton of Ali memorabilia.

    Disgusting, hopefully any true boxing fans shop them in if they try to sell it.

    who robs a boxing gym? a group of "robbers" disassemble an entire boxing ring as well as take furniture and posters? haha yeah um looks like someone actually just moved out of the building and claiming robbery to collect any insurance money that may be collected

    who the hell would take the time to steal all these items that cant be sold without leaving a trail back to you? the risk is outrageous when you consider the time it would take, the rarity of the items involved and the difficulty in turning them over. it just doesnt make sense.

    That isn't true at all. They could sell it over the Internet to people in China or Eastern Europe.
