This is one of those Taboo topics in boxing...everyone likes to avoid it...EVERYONE!!! not just those involved that night....TBH it is because it scares the SHIT!!! out of every fighter manager and promoter in the business...Believe it or not this would have seemed less tragic if there was a death that night....Everyone knows it is just one punch that can put them in the same situation....Even Geralds best friends in the business that he was friends with before the accident avoid him...Roy Jones is the only fighter in the business to ever do anything for him...For a while he donated a portion of his purses to him....Other then that there were a few fundraisers for him because all his money was gone so fast in medical bills...Sad story all around...still breaks my heart to this day....
I seen this when it was on television for the first time and I actually cried because I was a big fan of Geralds...
