Didn't know he was 64 years old. Plus, cancer is a bitch.

Yeah. Had inoperable esophageal cancer for years. He was arguably the best boxing writer in Boston for the last 30 years

In a pool of what, two? He & Borges? Not that I following boxing, or read anything boxing-related in newspapers, but how many boxing writers are there?

Good point. I should have said national boxing writer. When he wrote for the Herald back when newspapers were still read on paper, he was a top read. He didn't have agendas like Borges. He had his opinions but wasn't moolighting for a boxer on the side by writing for one of his websites and not disclosing it.
But you had to track Kimball down once he left the Herald so I didn't read him much in last few years.
That heavyweight fight was a joke last week.

If you haven't read George Kimball's boxing writing, you must. Truly one of the greats.

I guess Kimball got a 10-bell salute before the main event. Pretty goddamn nice gesture. Gonna watch it on HBOW feed.
