 Greg Page: In the Fight of His Life
Page had never formally retired from boxing but did sit out for about two years in the late 1980s and again for nearly three years, beginning in 1993, to take care of daughters Allison and Alicia in Las Vegas.
Page did win his first 16 fights beginning in 1996, but he was fighting a collection of no-names: Seven of his opponents had never won a fight, and 13 were so overmatched that they couldn't make it past the first round.
Page's shoulder was dislocated in the second round; he fought on with only one fully functioning arm, losing by a technical knockout in the eighth round.

While Page lay in a coma in a Cincinnati hospital, Crowe tried to talk to somebody close to Page but Page's trainer hung up on him, Crowe said.
