Sad news about Nick Charles/Some Good News Now

[The Fightfan]

Very sad to hear this. One of the better commentater's of the sport. Never biased and always well spoken on camera. Usually stage 4 is no good but I hope he can pull through.

I met Nick in Worcseter, MA at a venue a few months ago and we had a great chat. It turned ouit he grew up in the same neighborhood that I did (in Chicago) and that we were both firtst generation Greek and Italian. Man, we hit it off big time and Steve Farhood joined us. Two very down to earth guys. Just the opposite of what I expected. I quickly became a big fan of both.

This is just terrible news, the Guy has everything to live for and this happens. My prayers are with him to win this battle.

Thats GREAT news.

I lost my Mother to cancer 12 years ago when I was 10 years old. She was only in her early 40's.

I fucking hate cancer.
