Remember watching Lou on the tv early in my life he was a bigger than life character whose love for the game and his fighters shone through.

Yeah he was taken out on a stretcher too if I recall. The heart scare didn't stop him running into a riot to protect his fighter. Gotta love trainers that love their fighters.

He loved his fighters as long as they were winning - once they lost he generally turned his back on them. Big character anyway.

Such a crazy night because Golota was fighting for the title and giving a hiding to Bowe but couldn't stop throwing low blows. Unbelievable
