KAMEDAfS FOE REPLACED


July 10, 2008

TOKYO, JAPAN

WBA top ranked flyweight, ex-WBA light-fly champ Koki Kameda (17-0, 11 KOs), was supposed to face a Filipino prospect named Apolonio Suico (10-2, 6 KOs) beneath Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.fs showdown against Matt Vanda in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico on this coming Saturday, the legendary father JCfs forty-sixth birthday. However, Kamedafs opponent has been abruptly replaced by Mexican Mario Montiel (30-12-1, 16 KOs) because Suico couldnft be granted the visa in time for his slated departure on Wednesday.

The matchmaker in charge had already endeavored to present the contract and the promoter Fernando Beltranfs letter of invitation to the Mexican embassy in Manila, which, however, bookishly and stubbornly required a work permit from the immigration office of the Mexican government in addition. Despite great efforts of Mexican people concerned the said documents delayed and the embassy finally said gde acuerdo (all right)h no earlier than on Wednesday, when the scheduled Aeromexico flight (only twice a week) already departed for Mexico DF via Tijuana. The next flight will fly on Saturday, the fight day. The embassy showed its strictness in observing the rules as well as its gcabeza de piedra (hardhead)h. Gracias, your stubbornness killed the opportunity of the Filipino boxerfs payday. You should have shown more flexibility and amabilidad (kindness) to the boxer going to fight in Mexico.
