    Former WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez (31-2, 28 KO’s) is reportedly already suspended by the World Boxing Organization, according to fightnews.com. WBO president Francisco Valcarcel is saying that Lopez is already suspended in response to the post fight interview comments that Lopez made to Showtime interview Jim Gray following Lopez’s 10th round TKO loss to WBO champ Orlando Salido last Saturday night in which Lopez said referee Roberto Ramirez had a gambling problem.

    Valcarcel said according to fightnews.com “At the moment he is suspended for one year. In five days we are giving him an opportunity to convince us otherwise.”

    Lopez has already apologized for making the comments, which is a good first step to take to make things right. However, it’s unclear what Valcarcel is looking for Lopez to add in addition to that.
