Arum: I am through! by Mike Oliver, FightNews.com Sunday, September 14, 2003 Promoter Bob Arum lashed out during last night's De La Hoya-Mosley post fight press conference. "They say I'm a sore loser, but they're not going to see my ass anymore," he said. "I am through." The 72-year-old Arum stated that he would finish out fights scheduled for this year, then think about retiring. The Top Rank chief blasted the scoring in last night's main event. "After this freaking outrage, I'm out of this mess. Boxing is the garbage can of sports." Arum referenced Juan Lazcano, who defeated Stevie Johnston in a WBC eliminator, as "the fighter who knocked out his opponent instead of leaving it up to the wonderful judges." On Miguel Cotto: "Miguel is a great fighter. Someday he'll be standing up here after getting screwed in a decision by a state that allows gambling on boxing." Arum recommended that people watch Saturday's rebroadcast on HBO so that they could hear George Foreman's comments. Foreman had remarked that De La Hoya did not lose this fight in the ring but rather the judges had it in for Arum.
