    Vernan was a great fighter but he was prone to getting dragged into slugfests with wild brawlers like Mayogra

    His first victory over Shane was shocking. One of the biggest upsets. At the time Shane Mosley was a beast.

    Sadly,b, here's an interview I did with Vernon a short time before he was murdered. His last comment still puts a lump in my throat:

    Never forget watching him stomp Mosley as a teenager. Such a shame. He was taken much too early.

    Yeah, but he did a lot better in the rematch and deserved at least a draw.

    And yeah, the Viper was classy boxer inside the ring and just as classy outside of it. RIP to a heck of a fighter.
