BOB is VINDICATED.
I officially eat my words, Bob has been vindicated in this alleged smackdown.
Here is the email I sent John DeFendis and the reply.
"John, just to clarify a story that has come up 3rd hand from the 88 USA's in Las Vegas, when you won the overall. The story is that Bob Cicherillo was bitching about the placings and you smacked him in the mouth, briefly knocking him out, and the altercation was broken up by Johnnie Morant. Can you expand on this story at all?"
His reply:
"Not true at all.
I had a great talk with Bob between the prejudging and the night show.
We are friends.
I also respect Johnny Morant.
He had a great physique.
Two incredible people.
No fights.
I hope this clarifies the rumors.
Sincerely & Respectfully,
John DeFendis

I publicly offer my sincere apologies for ever doubting Bob Cicherillo, a bastion of truth in an industry of lies.
