La OMB quiere guisar
El presidente de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB), Francisco “Paco” Valcárcel, indicó ayer que todavía no queda descartado el que Cotto arriesgue la faja wélter (147 libras) de dicho organismo ante el filipino Pacquiao.
“Espera y verás”, se limitó a decir Valcárcel cuando se le preguntó sobre cuáles son las consecuencias del acuerdo que firmó Cotto para que su cetro no esté en juego.
“Van a ver la luz al final del camino. Lo único que puedo decir es que hay que asumir que la pelea será por el título”, insistió.
Sin embargo, Gabriel Peñagarícano, asesor legal del púgil criollo, dijo que “no voy a entrar en un debate con la OMB o con cualquier organismo. Hay un acuerdo entre el promotor (Bob Arum) y los peleadores”.
Cuando se le preguntó si Cotto renunciaría a su título, su asesor contestó que “no se ha contemplado” la posibilidad.
Some people are saying that Cotto will probably get stripped by the ****** WBO. -

"Wait and see," only said Valcárcel when asked about the consequences of the agreement he signed for his scepter Cotto is not at stake.
"They will see the light at the end of the road. All I can say is that we must assume that the fight will be for the title, "he insisted.
However, Gabriel Peñagarícano, legal adviser to the Criollo boxer said "I will not enter into a debate with the OMB or any other body. There is an agreement between the promoter (Bob Arum) and fighters. "
