He was a cw from Italy I think he fought in the 90s remember reading he was a good prospect his last fight he lost in a world title fight he was a doorman who threw a gangsta out of a club and got killed Can't remember his name
You are probably thinking of Sergei Kobozev, the Russian fighting out of Brooklyn who died of those circumstances.
Yeah he was a good fighter and could have easily come again...... real tragedy what happened to him. That fight with Dominguez is great, also he was the first to pop Ruiz's cherry(although it was a close fight that some claim Ruiz won) I had Kobozev edging it ever so slightly.
