Angelo Dundee, 1921-2012

I used to love boxing, before I finally, inevitably came around to the idea that it is pretty much barbaric. I basically have a year or two before I finally accept the same thing about football, so I’m hoping the Saints win one more in that time. But, yeah, there comes a point where you can no longer watch something that is essentially damaging its participants for your entertainment. But thank God there was a time before we realized that, and could celebrate men like Angelo Dundee, one of the sport’s greatest trainers, who passed away yesterday at the age of 90.
