                    [Title] => Cepeda: Don’t blame me for Espinosa’s woes
                    [Summary] => Former Games and Amusements Board (GAB) chairman Dominador Cepeda should not be blamed for the misfortune that Luisito Espinosa suffered after he retained his World Boxing Council (WBC) featherweight title against Argentina’s Carlos Rios in Koronadal, South Cotabato in 1997.


Espinosa stopped Rios via a sensational knockout in the sixth round and went on to retain the title. However, up to this date, the Filipino slugger has yet to receive the balance of his fight purse amounting to $130,000, leading to a court case against the promoters of the title fight.
