Coach Louie Gonzales, John Amores keep mum on UCBL punching incident

JOSE Rizal University head coach Louie Gonzales is keeping mum regarding the incident between the Heavy Bombers' John Amores and University of the Philippines' Mark Belmonte.

Gonzales said that he's leaving it to the school to issue any further statements on the matter as to no longer add fuel to the fire in the fallout of the punching incident in the PGFlex-UCBL Invitational Tournament last week.
