Another one for me i just remembered was when Jerry Quarry died so young and in such a awful state he was like a 100 year old man at the end,not being even able to feed or dress himself,awful when you watch his fights,and see him in his prime as this rugged good looking hard ******* of a irish man who gave everything to boxing,and it killed him like that
i feel sad whenever I see this. Nigel Benn was a hero to most British fight fans, and we all wanted to see him win this fight, but nobody could imagine the aftermath. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGz-unNi1dU
When Prince Charles Williams was lying unconcious on the canvas, looking for all the world like he had just become the next ring flatality after his second brutal war with Merqui Sosa. Sosa broke down in the interview out of concern for his opponent, and that brought a serious lump to my throat.
I think it was around the 8th round of Tito-Hopkins and it hit me instantly that Tito is about to freaking lose....Just felt really empty seeing how he was undefeated 20-0 title fights blah blah blah.....He was fighting hard, but was not denting BHOP Combined with the climate of 9/11 and it was very disturbing..
