This is a old story, But I did not know if any of you Boxing Fan in here knew this story. I'm sure you all know who Oscar Bonavena was, he fought Ali, Frazier & Patterson just to name a few. He was Shot and Kill at the Mustang Ranch in 1976. I live in Nevada about 30 minutes away form were this happened, I guess as a Boxing Fan and because I live here, it's always been a more interesting story to me then other people. It is a interesting but Tragic part of Boxing History.
