Another example of WBC incompetence/corruption

[Master]

Pacquiao addressed the furore surrounding the result after a training session in his homeland.

'It is not cheating,' he said.

'We just got favoured because we were on our home court.

'As a boxer I just did the right thing. For me, I'm only just a boxer. I just did my job in the ring.'

A furious Hussein is now seeking justice from the WBC, asking for the bout to be ruled a no contest in a correction similar to the one the body gave his countryman Jeff Fenech, who was recently awarded a fourth world title after being robbed of a win in his 1991 fight with Azumah Nelson.

'He [Padilla] has openly admitted to cheating here - the man in charge of the fight,' Hussein told Daily Mail Australia.

'I mean, if somebody confessed to a crime 20 years later, the police would chase it up. The corruption in this sport is so bad.

'Winning that fight would have changed my life. I missed out on a couple of hundred grand and a world title fight. I would have been able to buy a house and been so much better off.'

Hussein's lawyer has already fired off legal letters to the president of the WBC Mauricio Sulaimán, but the Aussie isn't confident anything will come of it.

'They [the WBC] are the most corrupt commission in the world,' says Hussein. 'There is no respect for them in the boxing world.'

Not to rain on Hussein's parade, but...

The longest statute of limitations in the Philippines is 20 years, and that is for crimes that carry an imprisonment of 12 to 40 years. I'm pretty sure this alleged cheating doesn't fall under that category.

Then again... the WBC (We Blow Canelo) could claim "institutional legal autonomy" or some other obscure (illegal) privilege... and end up doing whatever the hell they want.

Seems rewriting history is the new normal for this piece of shit organization, so... why stop there?

None of this shit surprises me. How long before Manny’s Doctor comes out saying he was on PEDs?

the wba gives jake paul some kind of honorary belt

[TIC]

the wbc has four interim champions, they are quickly catching up to the wba's six regular champions. if stephen v brandon is also an interim i'll be five for the wbc

I saw Mauricio Sulaiman wearing a Canelo Alvarez cap in an interview earlier today
What other sport do you see the head of a governing body wearing the merchandise of one of the stars of the sport?

Answer: I can't think of any right off the bat.

But thanks for pointing that out. It only underscores the painfully obvious (at least to me) over the course of Canelo's career.
