Bummer. Rest in peace big george.

I remember there was a pretty infamous boxing match that he was doing commentary on. one of the boxers was going through a bit of a nervous breakdown, most of the commentators were ragging on the guy, when he was clearly having a bad time of it, George said "Well, he's gone through a lot recently and it can happen to anyone. he needs some help, and if i could, i'd go up there and give him a hug." Thankfully, after that match, in the intervening years, that boxer sorted out his problems, and went on to continue being successful. I can't remember the guy's name, but i remember one thing about him, he used to spar with mike tyson, and was one of the few people who could actually keep up with him during a sparring session, dude was a certified badass. but even badasses can have a mental health crisis.
