    Sanders pulled off one of the greatest upsets in heavyweight boxing history when he beat Vladimir Klitschko.

    It's sad to see anyone die because of violence.

      Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

      So the article is from Sept last year.

      I don't follow boxing so have never heard of him. But if he is South African and was shot dead in South Africa why is that a sad day for Australia?
