Here is an old headline about Mr. Echols from 2007 -Echols shot in leg outside Iowa store, later arrested on drug charges
DAVENPORT, Iowa -- Boxer Antwun Echols, a former super middleweight contender who twice lost to Bernard Hopkins, was shot in the leg while trying to break up a fight in the parking lot of a grocery store and was later arrested on drug charges police said. Echols intervened and pushed the suspect away from Hodges. The suspect then allegedly shot Echols once in the leg with a handgun, police said.
Echols fought Hopkins twice for the IBF middleweight title, with Hopkins winning by unanimous decision in 1999 and by technical knockout a year later. In 2003, Echols lost a unanimous decision to Anthony Mundine for the vacant WBA super middleweight title.

OLD MAN - Bernard Hopkins is...The Bionic Man
BOXING IS A SPORT THAT IS PARTICULARLY CRUEL TO FIGHTERS WHO STAY TOO LONG AFTER AGE AND INJURIES HAVE STOLEN MOST OF THE MAN'S SKILLS.
Bernard Hopkins is still fighting long after his promised age for retirement 9his promise to his mother). This video also highlights U.F.C. Champion Randy....who is 42 yeaars old at the time of the video and sys he just gets better with age and experience.
