Cisse Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Cuban boxer Teofilo Stevenson has died from a heart attack at age 60. He won three olympic gold medals as a heavy weight fighter. He could have gone to become a professional boxer but wanted to represent his country which meant more to him than millions offered. One of the best fighters I ever saw. RIP.

Cisse Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 When I was a kid boxing was introduced to me as a gentlemen's sports which might be hard to understand when you look around boxing today. This clip shows you a gentleman. After he hits John Tate at 1.17 Stevenson didn't hit him again even Tate didn't go down immediately. Stevenson still saw the match was over. This was the way he behaved through his career. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnw2VWVRA-o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnw2VWVRA-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
