Uplifting News for a Gloomy Monday.

Morning Chaps,

After picking myself up after the deep dark depression of the Hopkins vs Dawson fight this weekend I read the following story yesterday abut a guy called Dewey Bozella.

Dewey was making his pro debut at the age of 52 after serving 26 years for a murder he didn't commit.

Link to the story is below.

I read that, too. Was a nice story, and good that he intends to stop after proving himself in this one fight. Hopefully he can have a good effect on the youngster he is planning to train.

What a heart warming story, and what guts the man has.

Superb read, badger. Thanks for sharing.

Read about the guy a few weeks back on The Ring's website, totally forgot to check if he won.

Good to see GBP gave him his chance and he had his 4 round moment in the spotlight. Good luck to him for the future i say.

Side note - It's not just Italy that you get convicted for murder even though there's zero physical evidence putting you at the scene of the crime.

What amazed me the most was the fact that a plea bargain was put to him a few years back. He would of got out had he excepted the guilt they had labelled him with.

Takes someone with steely strong convictions not to give in and take the easy route.

Wonder how long before this gets the Hollywood treatment.

Thought you were going to say TRUSS had resigned from the boards after making an a$$ of himself again this weekend

Not sure that would stop them from making another film of the same ilk.

Tom Hanks will probabley get the lead role and Jennifer Aniston will be the love interest!!
