WBC PRESIDENT MAURICIO SULAIMAN IS SURE THEY?LL DISCUSS THE MAYWEATHER ISSUE IN LAS VEGAS THIS WEEKEND By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Fri, 11 Sep 2015  Sulaiman. World Boxing Council president Mauricio Sulaiman who will be in Las Vegas over the weekend for undefeated Floyd Mayweather?s title defense against Andre Berto at the MGM Grand Garden Arena says ?I?m sure this is something we are going to discuss.? In an overseas telephone conversation with the New Standard/boxingmirror.com, Sulaiman said he believes ?it would not be appropriate to give an opinion without having the full facts. I would like to have complete understanding of the situation. I think to come out at this time just before the (Berto) fight it might be more negative than positive to find out something .? Sulaiman said ?nobody has contacted the WBC? about this but pointed out that ?we conduct after the fight protocol of anti doing testing but the test they are taking (random drug tests) are out of competition.? The WBC president said ?it?s a little complex, not easy? but claimed that the article of award-winning boxing writer Thomas Hauser ?is full of assumptions? indicating he would not comment on the issue ?before we have full knowledge.? Pacquiao?s adviser Michael Koncz who spoke to us from his ranch in Ohio said he knew the Hauser story was coming out weeks ago but that he hadn?t read the story. When asked for his thoughts, Koncz replied, ?you are putting me in a tight spot because we have to fight in Vegas again you know and I?m not going to cry over spilled milk. I don?t like the circumstances that came about because we did everything the right way. We informed USADA (about wanting to take a pain killing injection because of an aching shoulder) but the Commission ruled against us.? Koncz added ?I?m not going to make any accusations but it's not hard to put two and two together.? Click here to view a list of other articles written by Ronnie Nathanielsz.  |
