  10. You'd be more enraged if you watched Shumenov vs Campillo :winkold:
  11. By Mark Vester The World Boxing Association made an official statement regarding the controversy between the light heavyweight fight between Beibut Shumenov and Gabriel Campillo, which was held on January 29 in Las Vegas, Nevada. "Any dispute should be analyzed with great discretion. Boxing is a subjective sport and therefore we are making efforts to train our judges under a standard criteria, "said Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, vice president of WBA. The fight was won by Shumenov, by split decision, in which the judges gave the following scores - Patricia Jarman 117-111 and Jerry Roth 115-113 in favor of Sumenov. While, Campillo was favored by Levi Martinez 117-111. The WBA only approved one of the three judges, and that judge was Martinez who scored the fight for Campillo. "Unfortunately the Muhammad Ali Act, passed by the U.S. Congress and implemented in jurisdictions where the main fights are conducted for WBA World Championships, they are free to approve and appoint the officials for the fight. We are not trying to generate controversy but our judges attend seminars every year to upgrade to reduce the possibility of controversy and do justice in the ring." "In this fight, only Levi Martinez was accepted by the WBA. For this reason, the WBA in pursuit of our mission for justice, decided to request a video review by our official international committee. Having studied the status of the division and the results obtained from the analysis, we will make a decision. This can happen in the next 15 days or so, for this reason I prefer not to discuss any topic concerning the fight." Terrible. Oh, and Sugar Sam Peter is suing Don King and Dino Duva
  12. By Rick Reeno This past Tuesday, I broke the news regarding an agreement being reached for a junior welterweight slugfest between WBA interim-champion Marcos Maidana and unbeaten Victor Cayo, which is scheduled for March 27 on HBO. I received a shocking phone call Wednesday night from promoter Gary Shaw, who is currently in Mexico for this Saturday's Showtime card that features Edwin Valero vs. Antonio DeMarco. Shaw wanted to know if I had heard, or had any information, regarding the industry chatter with respect to the contract terms for the Maidana-Cayo fight. Prior to Shaw's phone call, I heard strange rumblings about the contract terms in question. Shaw made a very good financial offer to Golden Boy for a fight between Maidana and WBC champion Timothy Bradley and they turned it down. He found the entire situation strange because there was good money involved, and a major title, but his curiosity was really poked when he, like me, began to hear some very strange rumors throughout the day. From what Shaw had heard from several friends in the industry, there is a very interesting contract clause connected to the Maidana-Cayo fight. What is the clause you ask? Basically the winner has to stay away from WBA 140-pound champion Amir Khan for a period of twelve months or three fights - whichever comes first. I'm sure some people are asking - "Why would the winner agree to that?" Well, there is a good answer for that. Several sources told BoxingScene the winner would receive a guarantee for a certain number of future HBO appearances [i heard at least two dates] and they don't come easy these days. I decided to call several people insiders, and sure enough, everyone had heard the same exact thing. One major promoter told BoxingScene.com - "I can't believe HBO is negotiating step-asides for Amir Khan. Are they a network or a promotional company?" Another major promoter said - "Why are you surprised? Do you really think Golden Boy Promotions and HBO want Khan to lose any time soon? Look at Khan's fight with Marquez. Both of them are with Golden Boy and you can see the favoritism for Khan to win in their comments to the press. They did the same thing to Barrera and that's why he left." Shaw doesn't know if the industry chatter is true, but everyone is talking about it. From my end, I called several promoters and well-connected managers and all of them had knowledge of these rumors. You know the old saying - where there's smoke, there's fire. "It's very strange. I tried to make a fight for Bradley with Maidana and Amir Khan. They both refused which is highly unusual because there was good money involved and they would fight the number one junior welterweight in the world for the WBC title. If this is supposed to be HBO's next superstar [Khan], then how does he turn down a fight with the best 140-pounder in the world? If they don't want to fight Bradley, Vic Darchinyan is available," Shaw said.
