    R.I.P. Champion

    Was always great to watch, his win over Azumah Nelson when he would have been given the decision had he decided not to continue after being dropped after the bell but decided to carry on and fight anyway pretty much sums him up.

    Believe it or not, i had been in contact with him when i found out about his cancer. I was studying the cancer he had as part of a trial and just wanted to wish him well etc; got in contact via facebook. He was unlucky, mostly only kids get that cancer, and it effects your muscles and bones which make it very painful. He seemed like a nice guy and was happy to hear from a fan. I enjoyed his fights against Nelson and Paez after downloading them a few years ago just randomly.

    He went too young, really sad. I think he was only mid 40s
