End of Boxing in America.

Well, Leavander Johnson had a hell of a run right up through the year 2000, -not so good in the last 5 years, 35 is "seasoned" for a Boxer, -but he was no bum, nor was he an "old man".

I was going to tick off a few of the more memorable cases, but Manuel Velazquez, maintains a "Death by Boxing" archive, you can check it out here.

I'm calling this passing of Leavander Johnson the Final Round of boxing in America.

It would have been different, had the Sport been 'managed', if there had been a single cohesive force, working on safety, or at least prepared for tradgedies like this, but sadly, that hasn't been the case.
