My condolences. I met Monasingh once and was surprised of how small in stature he was. I am surprised that he was only 67, I was about 10 or 12 when I met him and wanted to learn how to beat black and putagee who were harassing me. But then I felt that his style was too long and drawn out and he taught control instead of aggression. I turned to boxing instead it paid immediate dividends as my piston like left jab, uppercuts and right cross were too much for the likes of the bullies Cains and caribjs.
