In a year in which everything was falling apart, both personally and globally, Joe wasn’t prepared for the news of Scott’s death. The impact was more devastating than any of the hundreds of punches he’d absorbed during their fight trilogy.
“How?”
“Heart attack.”
Joe looked at the photos and trophies on the bookshelf across the room, mementos from the recent past, a time when he and Scott, though rivals, had been on top of the world.
Now Scott was dead, too young and too soon, reminding Joe of the one fight he, like everyone else, had no chance of winning.
