Kim was a decent fighter he was giving Mancini a tough fight until about the 10th round i think it was then Mancini really took over and the ref blamed himself i think thats why he committed suicide and the mother just couldn't get over the loss of her son i also heard they made a movie but i haven't seen it.
CC to Ice and Trainer Monkey, thanks for the article and interesting side info. Not to get too crazy and off topic, but guys like Kim give their life for this sport they're so passionate about, and guys like Cintron quit with not even half the abuse given. Sorry if I offended, not my intention. Stories like these though make you really respect the guys who put their last breath into this game.
back bro that was the same ref in the Ali vs Holmes fight i believe.
