They just released a statement so full of lies and bullshit.....
Here is our response.
There are certain items that people can differ on opinions from, but the statement just released by Belinzsky's camp contains blatant lies.
I don't even know where to start.
When we arrived in Budapest there was no one to pick us up, no one would answer the phone number we had and the hotel had no reservation under our names for us.
Marianne and I were in the process of trying to change our tickets to leave on the next flight when after two hours someone finally showed up. It is a shame we didn't just leave, this would have been much less of a headache.
The only thing I agree with in their statement is that Marianne came in overweight. She should have made the weight, but relied on a scale at the hotel as being accurate and missed the target.
If she had been asked she would have willingly gone back to the sauna.
I felt as her manager that due to the distance of the sauna and the time it would take to go there and back that we should just handle this by accepting a monetary fine. The Hungarians said that no fine was necessary and were very cordial about it. I later found out why.
The statement about the gentleman's agreement not to put on weight after the weigh-in is just false. There was never any discussion whatsoever about her rehydrating herself. I would have never agreed to such a thing.
I would also like to point out that Marianne weighed 108 in her last fight which proves she is capable of making that weight and the overage was not intentional.
Another complete lie told in that statement was that we demanded the payment of the purse upon arrival. We never asked for, implied, or hinted to be paid prior to the fight. Nothing remotely like that happened.
However, the worst lie told in that statement is that I "acknowledged defeat". Immediately after the fight I shook their hand out of sportsmanship. As soon as the verdict was announced I went to the commission table and demanded to see the scorecard. I then told the referee to his face that he is a "disgrace" (among other things)
I then had a long argument with the woman who runs the commission, and then in the dressing room another argument with Zoltan Kiss Jr.
I clearly expressed my outrage to every single person I came in contact with in Hungary after the fight. For them to write that...shows they are just liars.
I have taken fighters to four European countries. Germany, Ukraine, Denmark and Hungary. I have only had a problem in one of them. I guarantee you any other promoter I have worked with in those other countries would have no problem with us fighting there again.
But, in Hungary there is a certain level of corruption that is worse than anything I have ever been involved with. In my opinion these people are running a fight fixing scheme.
The best way for the truth of this fight to be revealed is for them to release the tape as promised. I don't think it will happen. I think that tape will end up "accidentally erased" or severely edited.
I hope that after the video is made available that WBAN readers will have a chance to comment on the bout and make up their own minds.
Why is it out of the four fighters who have faced Kristina recently, Dobbs, Moss, Chubirka and Ramnarine, that every single one of them has a problem there? Is it just a coincidence? Are they that unlucky? I urge every intelligent person to make up their own mind.
