He might not be known by many but was really sad to hear about the death of Bobby Wells yesterday,Bobby was a good amateur back in the eighties i cant remember if it was a bronze or silver he won at the Los Angeles Olympics he lost to Francesco Damiani who went on to win a world title in the pros.....i sparred loads with Bobby as youngsters with a couple of other lads Dave Odwell who was one of the best amateurs i ever saw we all travelled around America together as young lads visiting different gyms Bobby was a good lad to be around i dont think he went far in the pros only had a handful of fights he was a few years older than me and havent heard from him in years then in random conversation with someone earlier found out he passed away yesterday,kind of shook me up a bit.....RIP.

Not someone I've heard of Gnash, but sorry to hear you've lost an old mate.
