On panel streets fading steely gray,

De'ron " The Cron" Issacs,
In the best shape of his career,
ripped, the world champion,
through adversity he'd persevere.

Contorted facial meat, bruising
body blow after...

With beauty from which none can compare

When darkness came, the demons bid
No road of escape...

Then far into the night.
