Aside from Buster over Tyson can't think of a bigger upset then Corrie beating Wlad in the HW division.


May he rest in peace. God bless.

Sad news and seems like something out of a movie.

Most men like to think they would die protecting their family, few man ever prove it.

R.I.P. Corrie you gave the world a thrill with your KO of Wladimir and seemed a real gentleman.

Hope they catch the scum who shot him.

Happens around Jburg and Pretoria all the time mate sad places, these cities have about 30 hijackings a day and only make the local papers on the third page.
We only heard about this cause he is famous. Its a shame he wasnt armed at the time himself and removed them instead.

was he targeted for being famous and they hoped he would have money on him or was it just like a random attack on the restaurant .....

I bought my car of a south african and he told me it was a gret country but there is no way he would live there.... such a shame

This world is a pretty fk'ed up place. So hug your kids daily, kiss the wife and talk to your parents daily if you can. You never know the day someone is missing. Always sit with your back to the wall.

RIP Corrie
