We lost a good man today.
Onto the next stage
I trained with Tony for over 10 years.
He was one of my first partners at HAMA
Hell of a boxer
So simple and fluid in his movements
Foot work too! So important. Boxing as chess.
And he was very patient and giving with me.
I cannot say I knew him well - never met any of his family
But what I saw in the training room spoke well of the man. Gentle. Humble. Straight forward. Direct. Gentle. Quick to laugh.
Always surround yourself with people who laugh easily and often.
Tony was one of them.
We'll miss you in this realm my friend.
But I trust you are winning hearts and minds in other parts of the universe.
Jab, cross, hook, cross. Never waste a jab!
Here's to you Tony Lee.
