Kameda's father complains over severity of son's punishment This content is protected Shiro Kameda (Mainichi file) Boxer Daiki Kameda's year-long Japan Boxing Commission suspension from the ring was "too harsh," his father and trainer Shiro Kameda told reporters in a faxed message. Shiro Kameda, who also received an indefinite suspension from the ring Monday following his 18-year-old son's misbehavior during a WBC world flyweight title fight against Daisuke Naito on Thursday last week, apologized but said the punishment against his son went too far. "I accept the punishment given to me. Both Daiki and I apologize deeply for our wrongdoings. Considering we should be taking a gradual approach here, don't you think a 1 year suspension is too harsh? For an 18-year-old growing boxer like Daiki, a year is a really long time," Kameda said in the fax. About 30 reporters gathered outside the Kameda family's house and gym in Tokyo's Katsushika-ku on Monday night after the punishments were handed out. Neighbors complained and a police patrol car arrived on the scene. Reporters pushed on the interphone seeking a comment, but a security guard answered and asked them to go away. The guard said none of the Kamedas were in the home. The patrol car went away. Kameda faxed the report to the media shortly before midnight Tuesday. http://mdn.mainichi.jp/national/news/20071016p2a00m0sp046000c.html
