I stopped in my parents place after work yesterday.
My Dad had just switched on the news.
He's still the hardest working man I know, but he's been through cancer and has just paused to enjoy life now.

I broke the news to him before the sports headlines were announced.

He didn't believe me.

When the story was announced my Dad just shook his head and repeated 'Not Hagler' two, maybe three times; genuinely incredulous.

Hagler was Dad's favourite of the Fab 4, probably the second fighter he introduced me to after Ali.
He couldn't believe anything other than God himself could stop Marvin.
