Comments Thread For: Referee Ramirez Firmly Rejects Juanma's Public Apology

[JakeNDaBox]

Ref needs to accept the apology and move on. This would have only tarnished his reputation if anyone actually believed JuanMa, which no one did. He was hurt, he made some ****** remarks, realized he messed up, and apologized. Nothing more.

Incorrect. JuanMa NEEDED to apologize. He did.

What Ramirez chooses to do w/ that apology is solely up to him.

Nah, his team realized how bad it made him look and went into damage control... That was a scripted and forced apology.

the referee was just doing his job and Juanma being a sore loser used the referee as a scapegoat and tarnished his name infront of Millions of people.

can't blame him for not taking the apology

Mama Lopez went out like a hoe...... Give the man his props, and move on with your career.

in the United States should make anti doping testing all boxers before a fight

That way they can find the kind of dope JuanMa was on when he said those things.

No mention of the bad judging by you. You're just a biased prick.

lol Juanma's apology reminded me Chris Brown's public apology. Both fake and scripted, you don't make those claims on a whim it was well thought out even before the bout. If ANYTHING, the ref was on Lopez's side - he was holding Salido's head down quite a bit.

if u were in his shoes,i dont think u gonna let him go that easily

No, the ref should NOT move on! That is like JuanMa taking a seldgehammer to the Ref's car and then thinking an apology is all that it takes. WRONG! There has to be damage compensation. That Ref would have gladly handed JuanMa the sledghammer over having his reputation damaged instead.
