And, today, PUP Standard Bearer Marconi Leal apologized for starting a fight.  He threw the first blow in the fight with Damion "Fello" Garbutt and ended up getting the worst of it.

This morning he told LOVE TV that he's sorry, he just snapped:..

Marconi Leal - PUP Standard Bearer, Belize Rural North
"He caught me at my lowest point, it was late in the evening and he harassed me and saying a lot of foul things but I want to apologize this morning to all those who see this video, that I'm really sorry about what happened. Like I said earlier, he caught me when I was at my low point and I'm sorry, I apologise today. I don't look for trouble but I really snapped that day and this is why I come to Love FM to make people know that I want to apologise for what happened. He would have strike me too, so I did throw the first punch and I want to apologise."

We should note that these two have a deep and personal political rivalry; Fello challenged and lost to Leal in the village council election when he ran for Chairman.  

In a statement on his facebook page, Fello Garbutt says, "I was verbally and physically assaulted by this want to b politicians before I reacted."
