Anybody ever hear about this guy :dunno: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudell_Stitch Very odd story. Seems he knew and sparred with Ali when Ali was an amateur and had already been involved in one rescue incident before his death. His wife, allegedly, received $50,000, or was due to receive at least that much in Social Security payments over the years following his death but was herself shot dead in an apparent murder-suicide. Stitch also has some big names and big wins on his record including Dupas. Then his kid killed a guy in an amateur fight in the 1980's ...........which must have made some headlines in itself. http://www.nytimes.com/1982/10/17/sports/army-boxer-19-dies-after-injuries-in-bout.html
Some of his fights are on youtube <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VnEBdd8UmmY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
"Gillette is happy to give these boys a chance..........This boy works at a packing plant stuffing meat into sausage machines"...................fucking hell, today he would have a full beard, would tell Gillette what do do with their chance and would be earning $500,000 a bout if he was so good to go the distance with guys like Ortega and Benny Paret and Denny Moyer. "Now lets take a look at Gaspar Ortega, he's an unlucky Indian" :laugh11:
