But the Mississippi State Athletic Commission, under Chairman Jon S. Lewis, produced two doctors who refused to permit the non-tilte bout to continue. And then, quite dramatically, Guzman manager Jose Nunez fell on his own sword.
Guzman's Manager Nunez:
“I told Joan, I will not follow you into the ring. It’s not the right thing. It’s the wrong thing to do and I can’t go along with you on this. Your career is still brilliant. Your career will continue. But I must agree with the doctors that you cannot risk your life for one fight. If the doctors say you cannot go, I have to agree with them. We will move on from here.”
Yes, yes, I know he ****ed up, he added too much muscle from the strength training and the blame is on him, but some you guys are acting like he's Osama Bin Ladin. He ****ed up, moving up in weight, made a mistake, but he was game to fight despite being unhealthy. Cut him a bit of slack before assembling the lynch mob, he's no coward! He was a 2-1 favorite to win the fight and would have been a much needed payday for Guzman.
