Some fun stuff you've found...

[TitoFan]

Actually... not "fun"... but funNY, in a tragic, OMG, "comically-shameful-shake-your-head" sort of way.

"A Mexican politician-celebrity fighting with muscle implants? Only in boxing"









From the article...

"Thanks to his friendship with former World Boxing Commission president Jose Sulaiman, Kahwagi was able to win the Mexican cruiserweight championship in his third fight and a vacant WBC international cruiserweight belt in his fifth bout, but Kahwagi’s 12-0 record is peppered with suspicious details.

Kahwagi has won all of his fights by first- or second-round knockout, yet it’s hard to find a witness who can attest to ever seeing him land a solid punch. At least four of his opponents — Perry Williams, Richard Wilson, Dwayne Swift and Buck Smith — can be linked to figures implicated in “Operation Matchbook,” an FBI investigation into fight fixing and corruption in boxing that culminated in a January 2004 raid on Top Rank’s Las Vegas offices.

Kahwagi’s July 2005 win over Roberto Coelho was marred by flying beers and other debris, after fans in La Paz, Mexico, grew disgusted with Coelho’s refusal to throw punches before going down in the second round."

And people still wonder why I believe the Sulaiman family and the WBC Mexican Mafia is the most corrupt organization in the history of boxing.


This bozo won:

• a Mexican cruiserweight title
• the WBC International Cruiserweight title
