American lives matter.
I’m guessing as to the races and nationalities involved.
ESPN has a story but can’t be bothered to find a picture or a clip.

I’ve heard of Joe Foreman, and I’ve heard of Mohammed Ali. But somehow the name Pernell Whitaker escapes me. So much for him being “one of the greatest boxers in history.”

 light welterweight, welterweight, and light middleweight; the undisputed 
lightweight title; and the lineal lightweight and welterweight titles.

Saw Sweet Pea knock out an opponent with his very first punch of the bout.
