Former Australian heavyweight champ Vince Cervi was shot and killed on Monday night. He was just 41 years old.
Cervi made his pro debut in 1985 and last fought in 1997. He wasn't the busiest guy, going 11-5-2 (8 KO) for his 12-year career, but he won the vacant Australian heavyweight title in 1995 when he beat James Grima. Cervi lost the strap in his first defense.
45-year old David Allan Curran is being held and charged with the murder.

![Kronk fighter Mickey Goodwin (right) was found dead by Detroit police on Tuesday as the result of a stroke. He was just 51 years old. He is remembered fondly by many in this article, including a 15-year old boy he was coaching. The news hit the Detroit boxing community very hard. Said Jeff Bowdler, "He's our Mickey Goodwin. We won't forget him." Bowdler plans to keep the River Rouge Boxing Club open.
Emanuel Steward said Goodwin had "one of the most vicious punches [they] ever had at Kronk," which is saying something.
Rest in peace, Mickey.](http://cdn2.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/35653/capt.996d499eb12d46b68d011d7baaab7f4a.boxer_slain_boxing_dt201_small.jpg)
