Kronk Gym revisited

I know Hearns is alive and training his son. I saw Ronald's last fight, which ended in a TKO. What worried me was seeing Hearns walking a little slow.

 

Duane Thomas got shot and died

 

Duane was a good fighter, he handed Mugabi a hard loss which John always claimed was a thumb in the eye.... Duane got into trafficing substances and paid the ultimate price for his involvment.. Does anyone remember Aundrey Nelson too, he was a Kronk fighter who boxed Virgil Hill and was Moorers sparring partner.. Hilmer Kenty.. Milton McCrory, Leonzer Barber.. Todd Riggs, even old Dennis Andries, superbad Bernie Mays, The only man i knew Thomas Hearns refuse to spar with for the good of his own health... LOL..

 

Mickey Goodwin, the Downriver boxer who became Kronk’s first star, died of a stroke in home, Melvindale police said this afternoon.

shame to hear about that

is he the first of the Kronk boxers to go?

 

I trained at Mickey's gym in River Rouge for a while.....

 

Hilmer Kenty worked for the city in some capacity, I believe.
