The series was on last night and started with an intervention of Lockridge who has been homeless and away from his family for 15 years. Pretty powerful stuff and the show ended saying hes been clean now since November and living in Louisiana. Hope he stays that way.
Yes, I watched it along with the NCAA Champion basketball game (picture and picture). It was so sad, as I knew Rocky when he trained with my good friend Lou Duva in New Jersey. They even wrote that he won the New Jersey Boxer of the Year, which I gave to him in 1987. In 2000, we Inducted him into the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame and as the President, I gave him that award too. I saw a change in him from 1987 to 2000, BUT I thought it was just me. He use to be a very smart guy & talked so well so it really hurts to see him this way. Several months ago, they had an article on him and a short clip and that hurt, but nothing like this. Hopefully he stays clean, I will be praying for him.
