Trainer Oscar Suarez passes
Popular trainer Oscar Suarez sadly passed away at his home in New Jersey over the weekend. Suarez, who is best known for training Acelino 'Popo' Freitas, Prince Naseem Hamed, Omar Shieka, Jhonny Gonzalez, Aginaldo Nunes, José Reyes, Freddie Cadena, the Toledo brothers and Archek Turmeliksetian among others, passed away from pancreatic cancer. "Boxing has lost a great trainer, and I have lost a great friend," Freitas told the Brazilian publication Gazeta Esportiva. "We were together for seven years and we won three titles together." A viewing is scheduled for Wednesday from 5-9 p.m. at De Luccia-Lozito Funeral Home in Haledon, NJ (265 Belmont Ave). The funeral is scheduled for Thursday at the same place. Suarez leaves us at the much too young age of 47 and will be missed. Fightnews send our condolences to Oscar's friends and family.

Also did away with the great Bill Hicks (comedian) too.

RIP

Its especially hard when this illness affects those who doesn't smoke or drink. Its commonly known as the drinkers cancers. Hicks and Swazye (who is fighting the illness) did drinks excessively. Those who get it and didn't drink, probably wished they had.

Pavarrotti also died of Pacreatic Cancer.

RIP Oscar.

Same thing took my mum at age forty-two, another teetotal non-smoker.

RIP Oscar. 47, man.
