After the incident, John Amores was seen crying in the dugout
JOHN AMORES – The Jose Rizal University (JRU) forward was seen crying in the dugout after his rampage.
Amores is currently making a buzz after throwing punches during the JRU vs CSB game in the NCAA Season 98 tournament at the FilOil EcoOil Centre on Tuesday, November 8.
Migs Oczon of College of St. Benilde had just secured a three-point shot (71-51) when cameras rolled to Amores and CSB’s CJ Flores getting entangled on the floor. Amores was then involved in an altercation with the referee.
JRU’s coaching staff escorted Amores out of the game while the latter continued to yell at someone on the opposing bench. He eventually charged at CSB players and threw punches, hitting several rival cagers.
Mark Sangco of CSB attempted to stop Amores by punching him. But it only fueled Amores’ rage. Taine Davis was hit in the jaw, and Jimboy Pasturan was hit in the eye. Security then escorted Amores to the dugout.
On Friday, the GTV program ‘Game On’ aired the exclusive footage of John Amores right after the incident. In the video, he can be seen in tears while being comforted by the people surrounding him. Watch the video:
Meanwhile, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and JRU slapped Amores with an indefinite suspension on Amores following the incident. He committed numerous offenses such as pointing a finger at a referee, disrespecting the ManCom representative and court officials, charging toward the CSB bench, which sparked a brawl, making provocative gestures that sparked a fight, and punching four CSB players.
Earlier today, Benilde players Jimboy Pasturan and Taine Davis filed physical injuries complaint against Amores at the San Juan Prosecutor’s Office.
