Don Jose himself spoke to us from his home in Mexico City saying Danseco did "a very good job as a judge in two fights. I was happily surprised." So are we. And while the Rubillar-Omar Nino fight was not very exciting we congratulate Rubillar on his win in Mexico and Danseco for his performance as a judge because he earned our respect – if it means anything to him – and the respect of fight fans even in Mexico and most of all our esteemed friend Don José Sulaimán."

's seventh round knockout over Bangsaen Sithpraprom for the WBF superflyweight title in Manila in 2004, said there was no doubt in anyone's mind, except perhaps Collazo's, that Rubillar deserved to win. Danseco was paid a $1,300 fee to judge the Rubillar-Romero fight and another bout on the card, the North American Boxing Federation flyweight title bout between Eric Ortiz and Adrian Hernandez that ended in a fifth round technical draw. WBC president José Sulaimán
assigned Danseco to be a judge in both fights."
