RIP Livingstone Bramble

[Smallpotatoes]

Less than 24 hours after George Foreman’s passing, former lightweight champion Livingstone Bramble died. He won the title from Ray Mancini and beat Mancini in a rematch. He was quite a character.

I read about him in the Harry Potter books. (For real, RIP.)

Both of those Mancini fights were wars, especially the rematch. I was at the first fight, in Buffalo, when Bramble came to the ring to "Buffalo Soldier" by Bob Marley. Edwin Rosario just destroyed him in two rounds to take his title. Saw Bramble fight in Buffalo a few years later on a Top Rank card.
