ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER LAWSUIT UPDATE

By Mike Johnson & Jose Perez on 2011-12-07 10:33:11
The Devon Nicholson lawsuit against Abdullah the Butcher was covered on the front page of Primera Hora, a largely circulated newspaper in Puerto Rico today.

After recounting the lawsuit, Abdullah the Butcher commented on the revelation that Nicholson's lawyers dropped about Butcher being positive for Hepatitis C, commenting, ""The only thing I will say is that when we meet again in court, to be in a month and a half or so is going to take a big surprise. Soon we will know the whole truth."

Abdullah also commented that he's been in the business for 50 years and this was the first time he'd ever been accused of such a thing.

Carlos Colon, one of Butcher's most famous rivals, decried Nicholson in the same article, commenting, "It took me by surprise all this, because Abdullah spent years coming to Puerto Rico and have never had any problems. When I originally learned of the lawsuit, I talked to him and said he was not sick. It seems to me that this boy (Nicholson) he wants to take money from Abdullah."

Nicholson declined to comment for the piece, noting he was told by his lawyers not to make any public statements regarding Abdullah.
