RIP He was a regular on a sports show here in Atlanta enjoyed his talk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
RIP. He was a regular on The Norm Hitzges Show here in Dallas on The Ticket. Every time there was a big fight, he'd be on Norm's show and they'd talk about it. Funny guy. Prolific author. Wrote a lot of books. He will be missed.
Boxing lost a good man. Bert Sugar always had some amazing tales from back in the day. His work on Classic Sports Network (which eventually was bought by ESPN and made into ESPN Classic) was amazing. I know I'll be missing him and will enjoy whenever they replay any of his appearances.
