    Bloody Unbelievable. Word from Melbourne is that the guy that killed him is a pro boxers manager???? What a waste of life.

    Mate I meant the guy who supposedley killed him is a fight manager ?

    I think its someone who is fairly prominent in the boxing scenem anyhows we will just have to wait to see who it is .

    Real sad for boxing, we take one step foward and one hundred back and its all happening on the eve of a great aussie fight card tomorrow at The Cube.

    First the Elomars are in the papers , now a ex champ is dead at 41 , whats next , everything happens in three's! I hope bloody not !

    All the news reports are saying the same thing:

    David Curran, 45, was arrested at the house in Dalgety Street, Preston, and later charged with murder. Curran appeared at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday and was remanded in custody until a committal mention on July 14. He did not apply for bail.

    The TV news last night said that Cervi built the house where the murder occured (on the front lawn). That Curren had been occupying it, and that Cervi wanted to move back into it.

    A great deal will be done to remember Vince, through numerous avenues. Thank you for the details.
