The WBA only endorsed the judge that gave the winner Campillo
The reason that the Association will review the combat is quite impressive: the WBA had approved only a judge of the three, ‘curiously’ Levi Martinez, who clearly gave the Spanish winner, as confirmed by the executive vice president of the WBA, the Venezuelan Gilberto Jesus Mendoza.
Shumenov and Campillo during the controversial
The law called Muhammad Ali Act, adopted at its day by the U.S. Congress allows the organizers of each evening to choose their own judges. Of the three selected, the Association approved only for Martinez. “Without trying to create controversy, we must say that our judges attend seminars during the year to reduce the possibility of controversial decisions and deliver justice,” Mendoza said in announcing the review of combat.
Remember that Beibut Shumenov, through his company, was co-organizer of the evening.
There will be a verdict in 15 days
The outcome of the battle, won by split decision Shumenov has been widely criticized for what the WBA, based in Panama, decided to convene a panel of experts before making a decision.
“Any dispute should be analyzed with great discretion to not affect the parties concerned,” Mendoza said through a press release.
He noted that the WBA will make a decision after studying the status of the division and made the video analysis, which could occur “within the next 15 days or so, for this reason I prefer not to talk or direct revenge or any topic concerning the fight “he added.
In the fight, the Kazakh Shumenov was favored by the judges Patricia Jarman (117-111) and Jerry Roth (115-113), while Campillo was seen Spanish winner Levi Martinez (117-111). Something that denounced his promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz, after the fight.
