I’ve known Mike all my life. Good dude. He did what he loved, boxing. Every one was happy for him. Coming from where we come from it was exciting to go see him fight (Allstate Arena, Star Plaza, ,Civic Center , etc etc). Even when he lost he won. That’s how proud & happy we were. ★Always with us, r.i.p Mike★
