The sad case of Antwun Echols

[blegit]

Yeah, this is a really sad case. Its hits home for me. Antwun is an associate and I know he wouldn't like to hear this but he just can't fight anymore. Even his power is mediocre now. The one guy he beat is his best friend who is actually a 5'6" blown up lightweight. The guy's name is Freddie and at one point I was going to help him train at his gym. I just can't do that to people. Last time I talked to Antwun he said his string of losses is because he took the fights on short notice. I shook my head. This isn't golf. When a golfer is done he may get embarassed in a lost or injury a knee from wear and tear miles. When a fighter is done he can be killed. Antwun does have a lot of children and he has a horrible gambling problem, once spending his entire Hopkins fight check beforing making it home, but he just doesn't know anything else. And I'm pretty sure Antwun is going to continue fighting and his next fight will be in Davenport around June. The only good thing is they are trying to find him a bum so he can show out for the hometown. I think this may have an adverse effect and give Antwun confidence that will trick him into believing he still has something world class worthy. Anyway, on that June card there should be 2 guys coming up worth taking a look at if anybody likes to keep track of future prospects. One is my little cousin Lance Williams a lightweight and Donovan Dennis a heavyweight. I'm not one who pumps people up. These guys are legitimate. If Donovan puts on a bit of size he will be a prospect to watch. And if Lance keeps his focus on boxing he will too.
