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. He knocked Jimmy Doyle out cold, who was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead the next day. 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.

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder People talking back then , so nice

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder The reporter is star-struck. I love it.

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder Even if you are the toughest guy on the planet, you still have to answer to your mom 😂

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder If he never changed his name, Ray Charles probably would've used his real last name, which was Robinson. There was a scene in Ray where someone gave him the last name Charles.

Who should we blame? Robinson for not believing in his revelation & seeking advice from a priest?? The priest for convincing someone to fight even after been told the dream that it might lead to death??

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder Black mommas are not now, nor have they ever been someone you play with 😂😭♥️🤣

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder The respect for mothers is amazing, here is a straight up killer but he still humbled himself to take an ass whooping from his mum.

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder Ray Charles's name was Ray Robinson, but he had to use his middle name as his last name because he didn't want to be confused with the boxer.

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder 🤣🤣🤣

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder The evil white man is clearly starstruck. And for good reason. So much love and class in that clip. Cheers.

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder Awesome, never knew that! 🤝

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder Isn’t it crazy what black folks had to do to show they were good enough to be paid top dollar for entertainment

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder I remember when most athletes, including Sugar Ray, Floyd Patterson and Archie Moore were not only gentlemen but also well-spoken. Then came Cassius. Sports has been going downhill since. Now, the NBA games end in fights.

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder The GOAT

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder Don’t mess with your mama, she will set you straight!

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder How can I download this video

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder Similar to story Jeff Mayweather tells of Floyd Snr and Roger fighting at gym and Jeff rings his mum and she shouts down phone telling them off and they immediately freeze on the spot

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder The priest after hearing Robinson killed his opponent In the ring: hmmm

@llakuba @PicturesFoIder
