We're told officials received a call around 10:04 PM in response to an accident at the intersection of Northampton Boulevard and Baker Road.
밤 10시쯤 신고를 받고 출동한 경찰.
When cops arrived, they located the man who had been hit by a vehicle who was in really bad shape -- and our sources tell us that man was Pernell Whitaker.
현장에 도착했을 때 한 남자가 차에 치여 도로에 쓰려져있었고 상태가 위독했다고. 신원은 퍼넬 휘태커로 밝혀짐.
Cops are investigating. Unclear if the driver of the car was arrested but he did stay on the scene to speak with police. It's NOT a hit and run situation
경찰은 사고 경위를 조사중이며, 운전자가 구속되었는진 아직 불확실하지만 당시 사고 현장에 있었기에 뺑소니 케이스는 아니라고 함.
Whitaker (who's from Virginia) was a BEAST in the ring ... winning world titles at 4 different weights -- lightweight, light welterweight, welterweight and light middleweight.
버지니아 출신의 휘태커는 링안의 비스트로 불리면서 4 체급 세계 챔피언을 지냈었던 인물.
Sweet Pea was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2006 -- and is considered by many to be one of the greatest fighters of ALL TIME.
지난 2006년에는 복싱 명예의 전당에 이름을 올렸으며, 역사상 가장 위대한 파이터중에 한명으로 평가되어왔었음.
He fought everyone from Oscar De La Hoya to Julio Cesar Chavez -- and even though he lost to Oscar and Julio was a draw ... many people believe he was ROBBED in both decisions because he clearly won the fights.
오스카 델라 호야, 훌리오 세자르 차베스등과도 붙었는데 오스카에겐 지고, 훌리오와는 비겼지만 수많은 사람들은 두 경기 모두 휘태커가 우세한 경기를 했음에도 불구하고 승리를 강탈당했다고 믿기도 했었음.
His pro career began in 1984 and spanned all the way through 2001, with an amazing 40-4-1 record including 17 knockouts.
1984년에 데뷔한 휘태커는 2001년까지 통산 40승 4패 1무, 17KO 승을 자랑했던 복서

네?! 그 퍼넬 휘태커가요?.. 아..명복을 빕니다. 뭔가 휘태커라면 어느 상황에서라도 아슬아슬하게 빠져나갔을 것 같은 모습이 생각나서 더 안타깝네요..
