I had to check when the fighter Eddie Cotton actually died, apparently in 1990. RIP for the ref Eddie. Too trigger-happy for a ref and he blew in Lewis-Tyson, but as a big, strong guy he was able to break clinches and he did good job in Bowe vs Golota 2
Fucking racist ass xplosive. Thinks every black guy named Eddie Cotton in the boxing world is the same guy.
