Pay attention to those dreams!
non aesthetic things@PicturesFoIder: Hall of Fame boxer Sugar Ray Robinson once backed out of a fight because he had a dream he was going to kill his opponent in the ring.
However, after being convinced by a priest, he agreed to fight. On June 24, 1947, he knocked Jimmy Doyle out cold, who was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead the next day.
Doyle was the first death in a championship fight in modern U.S. boxing history.

After Jimmy Doyle's death, Robinson found out about how Doyle wanted to use the money earned in the fight to buy his mother a home. So Robinson saved the money from his next four fights to buy Doyle's mom a house."
