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.

Not the current story, but this story tells a little about what Jimmy Thunder was up against: From 2010.
