Larry Merchant, the famed HBO boxing commentator and journalist, has reportedly been rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital, where he remains in critical condition.

The 92-year-old is best remembered for his back-and-forth verbal jabs with Floyd Merchant where he said if he was 50 years younger, he would’ve knocked him out.
We send many prayers that Merchant can come out of this okay and still be on this Earth for many more years to come.
