wow… I’m just.. speechless…
When somebody steals your car, let them….
It’s sad that so many thugs need to carry guns.
Vernon Forrest was a very good boxer… Underrated in many respects….
This is a horrible year for deaths. I can’t wait for 2009 to be over with.
Sad news.
His work with the mentally ill was noteworthy.
This is just shocking. I was just thinking about him too as I trying to find out when his next fight was. This year is getting worse and worse.
No way! What the fuck?! This sucks hardcore. RIP. I always enjoyed watching him fight.
Damn another fighter dead. RIP
Why can’t this happen to the assholes of boxing like PBF or David Haye? Vernon was a good guy in addition to being a great fighter.
