Sorry, but I don't have premium. There was a great story several years ago about his rise and fall, living on the streets of Vegas, fighters letting him spar for money, his girlfriend, a Native American woman, helping him out...very tragic.
No premium either but what a sad sorry of disillusionment, mental health and someone who should have been guided better in his career and life.
Sad but it happens
Heaps of people tried to help him. I think alcohol was a factor, but the biggest issue was his pride. He was ashamed at what he had become, and seemed defeated. I think he even came back to NZ for awhile, and many thought he'd be ok. He wasn't. Very sad.
Cheers guys, no luck yet but I've just asked elsewhere so if I get it I will post here
Not the current story, but this story tells a little about what Jimmy Thunder was up against: From 2010.
