Let's be fair to the WBC... Antonio Margarito got a 12 month ban for loading his gloves so Cristobal should get at LEAST 6 months... HE USED SWEAR WORDS!!! This sort of behaviour needs to be stamped out! It's good to see the governing bodies keeping things in context... atsch
Slow down a bit. Sending this letter was like getting to first base. Next a follow-up letter, and he's got her.
good Good Stuff Bazooka... even if the WBC do still refuse to un ban him.. WTF is up with 6 months?? Awfully long time for a swear word..... wasn't like he was swearing at anyone directly.. i dont school kids would even get 6 weeks suspension for swearing directly at the priniciple
Do you have a link of a video on what Arreola said? I like to view it and perhaps also write to WBC if I believe the suspension was unjustified.
Just check the postfight interview with Arreola's fight with Klitschko. He basically just says, "**** it, I'm coming back", or something. Along with "****" thrown in a few other places. Nothing aggressive or aimed at anyone, he was just very emotionally charged and disappointed at losing and not making the final bell.
In your letter you should have asked why they haven't suspended any trainers for cussing in between rounds all these years or why even suspend anyone at all when before the telecast shows the parental suggestions ratings show the ((Adult Language)) tag which means language which may be inappropriate will be televised during the event? That's like HBO banning comedians for cussing when in fact the parental rating is also shown before their shows. :nut
The suspension is outright absurd. The inconsistency of now coming out to suspend a fighter is pathetic. I can only imagine what the real reason for this must be, if there is one. Just plain idiotic.
It seems like the WBC is trying to pretend like they are taking some sort of moral high ground. Now that is a hoot. An orginization headed up by a guy who literally tried to steal Pavlik's trunks, is taking the moral high groundatsch
It's absolutely pathetic what they're doing here. It's completely out of the blue. I'd love to see how they respond to the obvious public criticism.
