  • Oh man, sad news. I wonder how he died? Alonzo Butler was out there a long time and was talented and considered a threat. He did a lot of sparring with Deontay Wilder. Any man who tried to earn a living as a prize fighter deserves a world of respect. Rest easy big guy!

    • Some of the best conditioned athletes have
      died suddenly and without explanation AFTER the covid “vaccines” were rolled out.
      A lot of people seem to be in denial. More
      look over here, don’t look over there.

      • Thomas Hearns said Hagler died from the COVID “vaccine”. I’m glad I never got one. Hearns also endorsed Trump at a rally in Detroit a week or two ago. He’s a smart man. TRUMP 2024!

    • Many also tragically pass away after falling off one of the edges of the earth.

  • The Vaccine is killing people in droves. I thank God I decided to stand my ground and let my natural immune system do its job. Rip.

    • People had something like a 99.8% recovery
      rate without the jab. The mainstream media did a very good job of making the populace
      paranoid enough to get shots that helped no one. Could not even begin to tell you how many people I know got shots and still got
      covid multiple times. A true vaccine would
      prevent someone from getting a virus or disease. Thank you, Warp Speed Donald.
      You really did your homework, Donnie. Too
      many Deep State rats found their way into his administration. That situation was a test run for the mark of the beast system. Showed how many sheeple would comply to
      a manufactured crisis.

  • I agree, with all that Trump did good. My opinion he messed up pushing out that vaccine so quick. I’m guessing I got COVID at least a couple times, never tested either that was another tracking technique. Never thought twice about getting a vaccine. As Public enemy said, don’t believe the hype! I remember they wanted me to test before my last fight and I was like hell naw!

  • All this nonsense people talking about how bad vaccines are, yet probably the majority of you and some of your children took other vaccines way before covid. How about acknowledging the real culprits of people’s health problems. The shitty diets of a large percentage of Americans. Over consumption of meat products, low qualify food(fast food), not enough natural food, too much processed food etc. To blame a vaccine is just pure ignorance if you are willing to ignore the obvious

    • Ah, no it isn’t. If you remember vaccines in the past took years of trials and testing before it was introduced to the public. Years, not a year or months. Properly tested and never negotiated so that if it causes harm that each company has full immunity from being sued for causing health issues. Companies saw this and were like we can’t lose. We make tons of money, got in bed with the Biden administration to force the mandate to take it, and demonized those that didn’t. For all we know those companies made that vaccine with lighter fluid. KP, you are correct with regards to people’s diet, no doubt. I believe that is why colon cancer is being found in much younger people now.

    • We were talking about highly conditioned athletes suddenly dropping dead while playing sports. What seemed to be the common denominator? They were all vaccinated. Now low quality food wormed it’s way into the conversation. Again, more
      look over here, not over there. Look at the
      emergence of strokes and myocarditis since the bioweapons were made available. Keep
      believing the corporate media which is the mouthpiece of the Deep State. I’m not in
      denial that sugary drinks and fast food are
      destroyers of good health, but too many athletes are dying from sudden death syndrome to all be blamed on Burger King
      and McDonald’s.

  • That’s unfortunate, great guy and so humble and young. An article says he suffered multiple gun shot wounds this past April but doesn’t mention much more. Articles like this that don’t mention cause of death most likely are because it’s either a shooting or a suicide, either way, may he rest in Peace and may God comfort his family and loved ones…

    • I know this Alonzo Butler personally.

      The gun shot wound guy has same name but different guy! All facts. And it happened in Illinois, the article you read.

      • I saw that too. He was also 44. Strange coincidence. Also, Brandon Spencer, Butlers last opponent back in 2021, passed away shortly after that fight.

  • Sorry to hear that Alonzo was a good guy and a pretty tough boxer dont demean his passing by talking about something that neither of us know anything about . He fought on a couple of my promotions.
    RIP my friend condolences to the family

  • …Do any of you people even watch boxing?
    You seem to be confused.
    Nowhere in this article was the covid vaccine or Donald Trump mentioned.
    Maybe you should just get lives.

    • You have to look at the big picture, James.
      It’s all connected…to boxing, and everything
      else.

      • This is a boxing article.
        It is not mentioning Covid, vaccines, or Donald Trump.
        If you want to talk about those things, then go post comments under an article that talks about those things.
        It is that simple.
        Stop it with the spam and trolling.
        I assume you are grown men and women, so just act your age.
        This shit is childish.

        • You know what’s childish, Jake Paul making all that money beating x karate guys, when a 51 yr old fan like me could make him look like an amateur, how’s that for boxing talk.

        • Then talk about boxing and quit responding to other people talking about vaccine shots. It’s that simple. It is never childish to open dialogue about something that is related to sports and the health of athletes whether it’s physical or mental. It is a topic whether you think it is or not.

    • Maybe you should mind your business. Although, it does not describe how he passed nor anyone on here is suggesting that this is vaccine related, but it is a topic of discussion. It is something that this world will have to deal with for quite some time. My son runs track and cross country in college and has seen numerous athletes have to stop their athletic careers because they “developed” heart issues after being healthy their entire lives because of that shot. They fell for the hype or were bullied into getting it to go along to get along. Willing to bet that a lot of boxers did not get it because of the level of health they are in. Plus, I don’t think the alphabet organizations were mandating it either, but I could be wrong. Its something that will be spoke about.
