[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Trainer Oscar Suarez passes Photo: Ed Mulholland This content is protected Popular trainer Oscar Suarez sadly passed away at his home in New Jersey over the weekend. Suarez, who is best known for training Acelino 'Popo' Freitas, Prince Naseem Hamed, Omar Shieka, Jhonny Gonzalez, Aginaldo Nunes, José Reyes, Freddie Cadena, the Toledo brothers and Archek Turmeliksetian among others, passed away from pancreatic cancer. "Boxing has lost a great trainer, and I have lost a great friend," Freitas told the Brazilian publication Gazeta Esportiva. "We were together for seven years and we won three titles together." A viewing is scheduled for Wednesday from 5-9 p.m. at De Luccia-Lozito Funeral Home in Haledon, NJ (265 Belmont Ave). The funeral is scheduled for Thursday at the same place. Suarez leaves us at the much too young age of 47 and will be missed. Fightnews send our condolences to Oscar's friends and family. He certainly wasnt one of my favourite trainers at all but dam this was unexpected.. :-( [/FONT]
