Does this man look like a winner?In a rare display of good judgment and common sense, WBC president for life has announced that Francisco Lorenzo will not be getting the 130 pound interim title. Despite Lorenzo's best attempt to stop Humberto Soto by absorbing as many of Soto's punches as humanly possible, and despite Joe Cortez' best attempt to aid and abet Lorenzo in his "Crime", the fight has been declared a "No Contest". It will however, still go in the record books as a DQ win for Lorenzo. Go Figure. Small comfort for Soto, who should put this farce of a decision behind him and move on. Judging by his post fight interview that's what he's doing.
Just seconds earlier, Francisco Lorenzo unable to move, was sprawled on the ring in "agony" until lifted to his seat by Humberto Soto. Immediately after hearing he was declared the winner, through divine intervention or perhaps through pure courage and willpower, Lorenzo suddenly leapt to his feet in joy. It's amazing what an undeserved win can do for a guy's health and state of mind....
