Was ringside for this one. We all expected an absolute war. Instead, Gatti got an easy one and we all went home early. — PolitiTweet.org

@RealRickGlaser1 I think he meant, or at least this is how I feel, boxing people are dying who we always assumed would live forever (or at least outlive us!). — PolitiTweet.org

Naazim Richardson accomplished a lot in boxing but he also proved that Margarito was a cheater and then sent him out there to get his ass kicked by Mosley. Personal favorite memory of mine. May he RIP. — PolitiTweet.org

Phase 4.7: Malls are open but you can only visit the pretzel stand. Masks are mandatory and you can only purchase Snapples and/or water (but drink it outside). — PolitiTweet.org

@PatrickMConnor I got you beat. I’ve actually known since 2003, when they were talking about fighting in a real fight. — PolitiTweet.org

Reading a few of these Tyson-RJJ articles and realizing that most in the media don’t know the difference between an exhibition fight and a professional one. This. Isn’t. A. Real. Fight. — PolitiTweet.org

@muls96 Sad day for our old New York team. — PolitiTweet.org

@RealRickGlaser1 Rick, I recently found one of your old business cards. Must've got it covering an event for Fightnews back in the day. Can't believe this morning's news. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Richardson @MRichardson713

I will, grudgingly, miss him. And that's how I think he would like to be remembered. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Richardson @MRichardson713

But he was also a friend, a staple in my life for damn near two decades and he gave me (at 15 years old!) opportunities that I never could've imagined. I can honestly say he and @fightnews changed the trajectory of my life. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Richardson @MRichardson713

I always, always knew that if I did my part, he'd have my back 100 percent. That's sadly not always the case in journalism, particularly as of late. Flattop was wild and tough and his emails were never-ending and sent at all times of day and night. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Richardson @MRichardson713

it meant he was helping his writer. He'd call into ringside from Seattle and cause a ruckus if his writer didn't have the very best seat and access. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Richardson @MRichardson713

With that being said, he was also the best sort of editor you wanted in your corner when out covering an event or news. He fought his ass off for his writers and didn't mind telling a promoter or manager or even a fighter to go to hell if — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Richardson @MRichardson713

our 18-year relationship would end on a sour note and it surely did. I didn't agree with a lot of what he thought or did during those 18 years and I still don't (he'd hate for me to sugarcoat anything now that he's gone). — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Richardson @MRichardson713

I had more than my share of fights with Flattop. Many a phone call ended with someone hanging up abruptly ... followed by that same person calling back minutes later. He was tough and demanding and it was inevitable that — PolitiTweet.org

@PatrickMConnor Just thinking the same. Unfortunately how many of these cards ultimately go through? A third? Half? Still love the effort though. — PolitiTweet.org
