good talk

Corrie Sanders a White South African and former excellent Heavyweight Boxer was killed in September by hold-up men in a restaurant outside of Pretoria where he had gone on a Family Outing to Celebrate his Nephew's 21st Birthday. I saw Corrie Box in one of Cedric Kushner's "Heavyweight Explosion" 's at the old Aladdin where I saw many fine boxing cards priced for a Workingman's Purse at a $15 Admittance.  Corrie's Record was 42-4 with 31 KO's and if you want to see an Action-Packed 2 Rounds Google his Knockout Victory with 4 Knockdowns over the great Vladimir Klitschko on March 8, 2003.  Largely inactive over the previous 2 years and Old and Fat and Cauliflowered Corrie was taken lightly, far too lightly, as a 40-1 Underdog. Overlooked was that He still possessed the fastest Hands of any HW and was one of the few HW's (lefthanded) who could Hit Hard with his Left Hand. And a well-spoken Guy who was calm under pressure even sitting for an Interview the Hour before a Major Fight. Upon Retirement in 2008 Corrie honed his Golf Game to near-professional Standards. A Noble Warrior the 46-year old Corrie Died a Hero diving to protect his Daughter taking her bullets.
