Rocco, just a quick note of sadness to pass on. Jurgin Blin's son Knut Blin eportedly committed suicide at age 36. Knut turned pro in the mid-80s and was regarded as a top prospect. He was one of the first fighters signed by Universum. The report I read said he was a troubled man by then and faded away from the scene and was later admitted to a mental institution. He never made a full recovery.
