This is sad news. One of the first boxing matches I watched as a kid was Gonzalez vs. Roy Jones Jr. He was a tough, courageous fighter.

He fought too long as many warriors do and even gave his all against Tavoris Cloud as I recall.

Guys like him, like Gatti, like Corrales, and Julian Letterlough all deserved to live long happy lives and be able to reminisce about their ring battles as senior citizens. Like Carmen Basillo or Max Schmeling.

I hope they catch the dirty coward who hit Julio and ran.

God bless Julio's family and rest his soul.
