Didn't he marry some brazilian twat? I think he was hanging with Acelino "Popo" Freitas at the time of his demise. Most likely foul play. I forget the year, but I think he, Diego Corrales and Vernon Forrest all went back to back to back.
Nothing unusual. He was piecing up his wife in the wrong country off of countries. If they throw you out the window over a working girl or put a gun in your face for running your mouth in their backyard, imagine what they will do over their family.
Oh I forgot the basketball player who got choked out with his shoestrings for messing with the wrong dude's girl.
