JuanMa Lopez accuses ref Roberto Ramirez Sr. of being corrupt after his knockout loss to Salido... and WBO chief Francisco Varcarcel (Puerto Rican) suspends JuanMa for a year. This is even after JuanMa issues an apology the following day, for his unfortunate statements.
Meanwhile, when Antonio MargaCHEATO got caught with plaster wraps before his fight with Mosley, and got his license suspended for a year.... WBC chief José "Scumbag" Sulaiman (Mexican) shamelessly defended MargaCHEATO. Hmmm, let's see.... insulting a ref while still woozy from a knockout loss (sort of a "spur-of-the-moment" event), versus a premeditated attempt to seriously injure another fighter by cheating.
Both are heads of boxing organizations. Both could be viewed as being partial to fellow countrymen fighters. And yet, when Varcarcel had to mete out punishment against JuanMa, he didn't even blink. In fact, he may have been a bit severe. Sulaiman, on the other hand, can always be counted on for blatantly favoring Mexican fighters, even against public opinion.
That's not all Sulaiman is known for. He has also famously protected the coddled pride and joy of Papa Julio Cesar Chavez, by keeping him out of harm's way while he has padded his undefeated record of over 40 wins.
How this sleazebag has managed to remain in power after so-o-o-o-o many years, is completely beyond comprehension.
