WBA protests officials!
Saturday, May 17 2008
The WBA has protested the manner the selection of the officials for tonight's pay-per-view super flyweight unification fight between WBA champion Alexander Muñoz and WBC king Cristian Mijares in Durango, Mexico.
Official WBA Statement: "Considering the enormous importance that this bout has for the world and following the usual process of officials’ selection, the WBA sent a list with five suggested names to the Federation of Mexican Boxing Commissions (Federación de Comisiones de Boxeo Mexicanas). However, only Panama’s Gustavo Padilla was accepted. Americans Burt Clemens and Marty Sammon were appointed as the other two judges while Jon Schorle, also from the US, will be the referee. Therefore, the WBA cannot guarantee the result of this fight if it goes the distance and eventually will not accept any complaint from any of the boxers. Also, the WBA considers that a great opportunity to prove the world that Latin American officials are in the same level with their American colleagues has been wasted due to this invasive attitude from a national commission that has not respected the appoinments made by two international sanctioning bodies like the WBA and the WBC."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So WBA is complaining about not getting in their judges
and for a fight last night that was clear as day of who the winner was last night.
WBC Judges
Burt Clements 116-111 scored it for Mijares
Marty Sammon 116-112 scored it for Mijraes
WBA Judge
Gustavo Padilla 113-115 scored it for Munoz!?!?!?
