RIP Rhoshii Wells

[Boxingmad]

1996 Olympic middleweight bronze medallist Rhoshii Wells was shot & killed on Monday night in Las Vegas.

I remember meeting him in 1997 when he boxed over here at Wembley Arena on the Herol Graham v Vinny Pazienza bill with his Olympic teammate Terence Cauthen. Both very nice fellas who posed for pics & signed autographs.

from http://www.fightnews.com - According to Las Vegas Police, former Olympic bronze medalist Rhoshii Wells was shot and killed Monday night in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 31-year-old was on the 1996 Olympic team with David Reid, Floyd Mayweather, Fernando Vargas et al. Rhoshii took home bronze in the 165 lb class, winning three bouts before dropping a decision to the eventual Gold medal winner Ariel Hernandez of Cuba. He had a professional record of 18-2-2 with a loss to Alejandro Garcia in 2003 for the WBA light middleweight title. Wells was also picked for this past season's Contender television series but was eliminated before the boxing action started. He was recently training at Johnny Tocco's gym in his hometown of Las Vegas.

RIP. Very sad indeed.

Very sad news.

R.I.P. Rhoshii Wells

[Old bones Ian]

they have arrested the guy accused of the shooting, apparently Wells had an arguement with the accused earlier, and the guy said he would come back and kill Wells.

beyond me how people can do that, we all have confrontations in our lives and may say something without thinking, but for some, they just can't cool down and have to carry out horrible revenge attacks.
