Yeah I JUST read this and was about to post it until I saw this thread

I had just been thinking about this guy last week or maybe it was yesterday!

I didn't know he was that wild and crazy. He was a good boxer and its sad to see such a young person go like that

His wife is 7 months pregnant :sad:

Yep, he was a wild dude, he lived his life hard. Boxed the same way he lived, I remember watching one of his fights and he was getting jacked, knocked down several times, his corner wanted to throw in the towel, it just wasn't his night, he had come in over the weight limit and had sweated the weight off overnight, he was weak as hell you could tell. So his corner is telling him, we'll fight another night, and he was livid, he told his corner,...."don't you f*@# ing throw in the towel, you let me go out on my back, like a champion!" No holes barred warrior, sad to him go like that, seemed like he was getting his life in order. He had some good ones with Joel Casamayor and he made Acelino "Popo" Freitas quit in the ring!

I only saw him fight once I believe. But I remember the fight. It was on a under card of a REALLY big fight years ago in Vegas I believe

He wore some leporid print trunks and won his fight
