Comments Thread For: Juanma Issues Public Apology To Referee Roberto Ramirez

[Devgru6]

Defamation lawsuit on the way, those comments had nothing too do with being hurt still, that's who Juanma is and Ramirez and his son are both great officials and the apology is the "Rivera's way of trying too save face, sorry too late...

After a fighters been taking heavy punches for the majority for the fight, gets knocked out, they're not going to say the most cleverest of comments once awake.

i dont know why they interview people after they get knock unconscious

cause no one will give a **** about what they have to say about it the next day.

I know these apologies might've been issued to smooth things over and avoid a lawsuit, but I'm not feeling so cynical about them. The wording seems sincere, and it's understandable that JuanMa was an emotional and physical mess immediately following the fight.

I applaud Lopez for issuing words of contrition. His accusations were insane. I'm fairly certain he honestly regrets them today, after the smoke has cleared. JuanMa fought like a lion last night. I knew after the Mtagwa fight he's got guts. He proved that again versus Salido. I don't think Lopez has a future as an elite fighter, but he certainly brings it. He deserves respect for that...and his apology.

It was a great match and even better than the 1st fight. Not mad at JuanMa for popping off at the mouth after a loss as it was more awkward and funny than anything else. Juanma is a Rican but i have to admit i find his fights entertaining as hell

[Medved]

so rivera got on his a$$, typed this letter and made juanma sign it. Well something is something.

Yea, you can tell my the quality of the writing Juan Ma never said anything.His Promoters just got someone to write a letter and put a fake quote from Juan Ma.

Dude doesnt even speak English, and if there was a translation it would be written 1000% diffirent than what was written. It looks it was written by a highly educated person who knows english and took writing classes in school.

most likely Top Rank paid a PR firm to do some damage control....Juan Ma never said any of these things.

Cuz most people want to see the "train wreck" instead of the usual i want to thank my corner, showtime and the fans for coming out from the winner or their country they reppin..

I appluad this.

His head has cleared and he can now see it more truthfully. When a fighter has just had his head scarmbled, he shouldn't be asked to give an interview.

I agree, their ego will not let them take that Loss

[MrClutch85]

I never take anything any athlete says right after a loss serious frustration get to those dudes it happens apologizing was the right move
