    Charles was never the same after Baroudi

    Robinson was surly effected by the death of Doyle donating his next five purses to his mom to by a house that Doyle was fighting for. She blew it all on heroin which was rampant in boxing circles in those days and then tried to sue Robinson for years.

    Judging by how Kovalev is today, I don't think the death of Shimakov gives him a second thought.

    I had appreciated Robinson caused a death, he still knocked out people afterwards.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
