Team Ornalez open letter
By Vince Ornalez
July 10, 2006

     
   
   
   
   

(JULY 10) WBAN received a statement from Vince Ornalez, the father and part of the Team for Dyana Ornalez. Vince Ornalez wrote the following:

This is in response to the e-mail sent to you by Butch Gottlieb regarding Dyana Ornalez' cancellation two days before her scheduled bout with Jenny Houts in Monterey, California on July 8th.  (To begin with...I would like to congratulate Kaleisha West on her win in Monterey.)

Mr. Gottlieb conveniently forgot to include the time line leading to the cancellation. Dyana informed Mr. Gottlieb that she would be unable to make the weigh-ins on the 7th of July in Monterey due to not being able to get off of work.  She originally got the day off from her boss who in turn changed
her mind, due to an increased work load. Dyana informed Mr. Gottlieb by phone as soon as she could. This was on the 6th of July at approximately 4:00pm. After which she was told by Mr. Gottlieb that her career would affectively be over if she was not at the weigh-ins on the 7th.

Dyana told Mr. Gottlieb that she was still on a probationary period and would get fired if she did not show up. He told her to find another job and show up for the weigh-ins. He knows that Dyana is a single mother and needs her job to support her son.

Dyana was not in contact with him after that. Butch called me, her father, about 6-7 hours later and told me that she could fly out on Saturday morning instead. In the mean time Dyana, thinking that any chance of a boxing career
was over, went out to dinner with me after a light work out at the gym. She still had to lose 2-3 lbs that day in order to make her weight. After eating dinner she would have had to lose roughly 4-5lbs. which I told Butch when we spoke that night. He told me to tell her to lose the weight and get on that
plane. If she would have been informed about being able to catch a flight Saturday morning when she spoke with Butch on Thursday she would have done so without any problems what so ever. Dyana was fully prepared to fight on
Saturday.

In regards to canceling this fight, Dyana does send her apologies to Jerry Hoffman and Jenny Houts.  She knows how Jenny feels because this has happened to her also, one time right after the weigh-ins in Lancaster, California,  and
another in Irvine, California 45 mins. before the show started.

Butch's statement that Dyana told him that she signed the contract and that it was faxed to the promoter (Jerry Hoffman) was inaccurate. Dyana never told him that. Butch requests that a copy be faxed to him also for his records. The contract is still unsigned and on Dyana's trainers desk.

Butch also failed to mention that I had told him that Dyana has strained tendons in her left foot and that it might cause a problem during the fight but not to worry that Dyana was doing all she could to prepare to the fight, swimming and using an elliptical machine instead of running.

Seeing how Mr. Gottlieb feels that Dyana's boxing career is over and that he was going "put her on the shelf" because she was a "pain in the ass", I offered to buy her contract from him. He set the price at $1000.00. He gave me his word that the price would not go any higher than that. I received an
e-mail a few hours later stating that the price went up to $5000.00 and not a penny less.  What happened to the saying that "a man is only as good as his word"? As far as Mr. Gottlieb's comment about thinking that Dyana was "a
professional and above board person and accepted her word", I also thought the same thing about him when we agreed on the price for Dyana's contract."
