Lou Duva has passed away aged 94.

Good innings. RIP.

I remember a fight where Lou jumped in the ring and ended up getting his face cut, cant for the devil of me think which one it was.

Proper boxing man, 94 is a ripe old age.. RIP.

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.

RIP Lou

Comical when he went down at the Bowe Golota riot. Rip

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.

On the HBO version you can hear George Foreman getting involved and Lampley going on about Duva

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
