Boxer Thomas Hearns has blasted Covid anti-vaxxers for co-opting the death of Marvin Hagler, after the all-time great passed away Saturday at age 66.
Before Hagler s death, Hearns - who was knocked out by Hagler during their famous bout in 1985 - had told followers online that the star was suffering from the after effects of the vaccine .
But no official cause of death has yet been announced, and his family have said he died of natural causes , with no mention of a Covid vaccine being to blame.
Hagler s son James told TMZ his father was rushed to hospital with chest pains and was experiencing trouble breathing before dying about four hours later.
Maybe Ryan Garcia didn’t answer
every question with today’s knockout win over Luke Campbell in Dallas, but it’s hard to say he didn’t answer a fair amount of them, and at the very least, it’s probably time to stop writing him off as an “Instagram boxer” or some sort of total fraud.
Garcia (21-0, 18 KO) came off the canvas in the second round to roar back and end the night in the seventh, finishing Campbell (20-4, 16 KO) with a wicked liver shot that put Campbell down for the count. Related
Boxing Twitter was highly engaged with this one on both sides of the pond. The Brits, of course, were rooting hard for the 33-year-old Campbell to win, and so were many Americans, to be fair, as the 22-year-old Garcia is a star bigger than his record coming into this fight, and maybe comes out a star bigger than his record still, which breeds some contempt and whatnot, of course.
