Chapter 82: The End of Kent
Morales' loss because he was overweight shocked countless people's jaws. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The New York Post published a report under the headline "Surprisingly Overweight": "At the weighing ceremony of Morales' match with Lin Ye yesterday, Morales was unexpectedly overweight, reaching 135.7 pounds, which is already lightweight. Morales was disqualified without any suspense. Although it was later protested by the Morales team, believing that there was a problem with the weighing instrument, the scale was re-weighed on the spot. When the official staff on site took out another spare weight gauge to weigh it, the result was still 135.7 pounds. Morales lost the match completely because he was overweight. It's hard to believe that a seasoned fighter would make such a low-level mistake and be 5.7 pounds overweight during a weight measurement. ”
According to the Sports Illustrid, Morales was disqualified and that the loss was purely self-inflicted. "When boxing is classified, it's to ensure the fairness of the game. Let every boxer play within his right weight. Although there are times when a boxer often fails to maintain his weight and needs to dehydrate before a fight to reach his weight target, that's understandable. But Morales, before the race, did not control his weight at all, and was 5.7 pounds overweight when weighed in, which is really unimaginable. Didn't Morales measure his weight in advance before weighing himself and take measures to reduce his weight? Or is there a problem with the weight gauge in Morales' training hall? Losing the fight that countless people are looking forward to in this way is simply an insult to the fans. ”
This defeat made Morales very depressed. But there is one man who suffers even more, and that is Kent.
Kent, who thought he had a chance to win, bought a bet of 60 million Lin Ye's losses before the game, and this time, he lost a penny. There were also a series of other expenses such as bribing referees, dietitians, and bribing scorekeepers, and Kent lost nearly $70 million at once.
This gave Kent the urge to vomit blood. His family business lost a quarter of his business in this game.
Moreover, Kent's bribery of the scorekeeper and referee, which was reported by an anonymous person, has attracted the attention of the National Athletic Association. Now, the National Athletic Association has contacted the FBI to conduct a joint investigation with the four major boxing organizations.
This made Kent terrified, and he knew that if the things he had done before were exposed, he would really be hidden in a place of no return, and there would be no day to turn over.
Kent these days is restless like an ant on a casserole. Now Kent, in a hurry to destroy all the evidence against him.
His subordinate, who had bribed Lin Ye's nutritionist and referee on his behalf, suddenly lost contact.
After a day of calling, Kent angrily threw his phone to the ground.
Inside an upscale hotel somewhere in New York.
Sheffield, the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, was standing in front of the window, and behind him, Kent's subordinate.
"The evidence you provided is very good." Sheffield had a thick pile of documents in his hand, which were all ironclad evidence of Kent's crimes. For Sheffield, he hates people like Kent very much, and he arbitrarily meddles in and manipulates the game, even the boxers under the Golden Boy Company can't avoid it.
"Without Kent, boxing would be much cleaner." "Don't worry, I'll arrange for you to go to Bolivar, where the FBI will never find you." ”
"Thank you very much, Mr. Sheffield." Kent's men said. Now Kent is a big ship that is about to sink, and he has done so many invisible things for him, Kent capsizes, and he will definitely not be able to escape. So he took Kent's incriminating evidence in advance and handed it to Sheffield to protect himself.
Soon, after Morales lost the game over weight, another big piece of news broke out.
Kent was arrested.
FBI detectives personally escorted him into the detention center. According to the police, they have enough evidence to prove that Kent is suspected of money laundering, bribing referees, manipulating boxing matches and other crimes. If all of these charges are convicted, Kent could face 77 years in prison.
Although Kent spent a fortune to hire the best lawyers, it didn't help. In the end, the court sentenced Kent to 56 years in prison and a hefty fine of $23 million.
This incident immediately became the headline of major news reports in the United States. The Kent case became the biggest case in American sports in years. Many boxers and celebrities in the boxing world applauded this.
Stanford was like a frightened rat when the Kent case erupted.
He was also dumbfounded at the moment when he finished weighing, he never expected Morales to lose in such a way. After Lin Ye's win, Stanford did not follow his previous plan and get on a plane to another city. Instead, he stayed.
What Stanford thought was that even if Lin Ye didn't lose, then the ugly things he did would not be exposed, and he could continue to stay in Lin Ye's team calmly and get a good salary and dividends.
But when the Kent case broke out, Stanford was suddenly frightened. Fearing that the Kent case would expose him, Kent bought a new plane ticket and went to a small city. After spending two days in the city, Kent would wake up every day with nightmares of his imprisonment.
Frightened and frightened, Kent decided to flee the United States and run to another country. It just so happened that the small city where Stanford was located was located in New Mexico, very close to Mexico, so Stanford ran to Mexico through the local smugglers.
The head of the smuggler was responsible for the smuggling of Mexicans to the United States, and it was the first time he had seen Americans smuggling into Mexico. But for the sake of the dollar, the smuggler didn't say much and arranged for Stanford to go to Mexico.
When he came to Mexico, Stanford's heart immediately settled down. The place he went was a small town on the border of Mexico. On the same day, Stanford rented a room in a small inn in the town.
At night, Stanford slept soundly. He no longer had to worry about the FBI coming out of nowhere to take him away. In a place like Mexico, $700,000 is enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
However, at midnight, a sudden burst of gunfire woke up Stanford. Then, Stanford saw his window crack and a scorching red glow.
The next day, the Mexican newspaper reported: "Last night, in the Mexican border town of Tijuana, there was a case of a drug dealer firefight. Both sides even used rockets in the shootout. According to the police's analysis, the reason for this fire fight should be that drug dealers are fighting for control of the passage for drugs to enter the US side mirror. The fire has killed 23 people and seriously injured 11 others. One of the fatalities was a U.S. citizen. ”
