MIAMI (Dec. 16, 2009) Irish boxing manager Gary Hyde yesterday won a legal judgment in Miami to manage 2-time Olympic champion Guillermo Rigondeaux. Rigondeaux (3-0, 3 KOs), fighting as a bantamweight, now lives in Los Angeles after defecting from Cuba, where he was a 7-time national champion. The 28-year-old southpaw also won multiple World Championships titles, as well as a gold medal at the 2003 Pan-Am Games, during his incredible 243-4 amateur career. Rigo is scheduled to fight tonight (Wed., Dec. 16) in New York City.. http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=22281&more=1
Well done Gary Hyde - I am delighted for him. The sport of boxing can do without these money grabbing sharks - they should get an automatic ban for pulling **** like this. If this kind of **** happened in other sports there would be much stiffer sanction imposed - it is time boxing got a makeover and more robust governance was enforced.
