And, you know, George remembers it well.
And so we find ourselves, once again, staring at the disfigured face of this question, which is why did Vic Weiss, why did Tark's guy get whacked?
What did George think about why his dad's childhood friend was killed?
Well, you know, George, as well as the rest of the family, started to think it might have to do with his interest in another sport.
Yeah, and this is where we turn back to our handy police report, and it turns out that one of the focuses of this investigation involved boxing, Vic Weiss, who was apparently lots of people's guy as well, not just Tark's guy, but these other boxers' guy, and the question of gambling debts.
Yeah, I mean, Vic got involved in boxing in the early 1970s.
It started out with a high-profile client, Armando Muรฑiz, who was a 1968 Olympian.
He was a title contender, four-time welterweight title contender.
There are two detectives working the case, Detective Sergeant John Helvin and our guy we heard earlier, Detective Leroy Orozco.
And specifically, they looked into a fight between Mondo Muรฑiz and Sugar Ray Leonard.
In 1978, Sugar Ray was top of his game, one of the greatest fighters of all time, Olympic gold medalist.
He's undefeated.
Mondo was at the tail end of his career.
He was injured.
And so it was a high-profile fight, and I think we can even look at the footage and see how it played out.
We got to get to the bottom of this.
I mean, Cosell kind of spells it out.
Yeah, yeah.
Super f***ing fishy.
You're writing Sugar Ray Leonard.
