Carlos Baldomir jailed

Ex-boxing champion Carlos Baldomir jailed over sexual abuse

A court in Argentina has sentenced former welterweight world boxing champion Carlos Baldomir to 18 years in prison.

Baldomir, 48, was found guilty of the repeated sexual abuse of a child.

The court heard that the abuse began when the girl was seven years old and lasted for two years.

Baldomir was World Boxing Council champion for 10 months in 2006 after he beat the unified welterweight champion Zab Judah in New York.

He defended his title against Arturo Gatti before losing it to Floyd Mayweather in November 2006. The boxer retired in 2014 and became a trainer.

Baldomir had already spent almost three years in pre-trial detention in the province of Santa Fe after his arrest in November 2016.

He denied the charges and his lawyer described the sentence as "very high and excessive". When he arrived in court last week at the start of his trial, he was defiant, raising his fists and showing the middle finger to journalists.

Prosecutors had asked for a sentence of 20 years in prison.

They don't f*ck around down there in Argentina.

Sergei Kovalev level scumbag

Might be safe to say that regardless of Country there's a special place in hell among a prison population for pedos. Could also safe to say that Baldo has a few broken mops in his um future.

The toilets in prison are really disgusting, they are somewhere between airplanes and portables they use at festivals. Hey isnt Carlos Baldomir a good story, not enough is said about what an honest pro he was. Man its been hot lately huh, this weather is somethin else.

Prison toilets do have a history of being bad. Back in the late Victorian age it was not unknown for a pot to overrun with liquid excrement in the event of an upset tummy. It would spill all over the floors and in the morning warders would retch and even vomit. I hope Carlos Baldomir ends up with a really bad toilet. That is the kindest I can be. What a horrible man. I really do not understand the mindset that leads to any of this. Lowest of the low.

I bet Baldomir thought his days of getting battered in the ring were long behind him.
