To the younger fans out there watch his fight against Lopez 1980 fight of the year. IBHOF fighter enough said.
he died this morning. They are saying he was being treated for ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. He had been in the hospital for about a week. He was a favorite of mine too. Had the opportunity to meet and work with him in construction in Atlantic City and he was a nice guy.
Great wars with Victor Galindez, Yaqi Lopez amongst others. It was a Golden Age for the LHW Division. RIP
I'm in Philly and I had no idea. Nothing on news, nothing on philly.com. What a sad day for boxing. One of our all-time warriors. RIP Champ.
