World Boxing Council president Mauricio Sulaiman has told The Standard that he expects to release a decision on the protest filed by the co-managers of Filipino southpaw Randy ? Razor? Petalcorin by the end of this week.
In an overseas telephone conversation with The Standard early Wednesday morning (Manila Time) Sulaiman said the review process was almost complete and that the WBC had also received a report from the local boxing commission on the controversy surrounding the split decision victory of Australia-based Tanzanian Omari Kimweri in a battle for the WBC flyweight Silver title.
Petalcorin had relinquished his WBA light flyweight Interim title to face Kimweri for the WBC belt.
Immediately after the fight P etalcorin's co-managers Jim Claude Manangquil, the youthful CEO of Sanman Promotions and multi-titled Australian promoter Peter Maniatis filed a protest with the WBC and cited several discrepancies.
The most bizarre was the performance of referee Malcolm Bulner, a naturalized Australian from Sri Lankan who failed to count at least four knockdowns scored by Petalcorin at the Melbourne Pavilion, raising a howl of protest from the Filipino?s co-managers and Filipino media people.
In a telephone call with The Standard shortly after the fight Maniatis said the split decision in favor of Omari Kimweri was a travesty.
Highlights of the fight posted on Facebook clearly showed the knockdowns which Bulner unbelievably failed to count.
Another issue that surfaced was why aside from Bulner being the referee his wife Samanta was a judge who aided her husband by voting for Kimweri and the fact that two of the rounds were substantially less than the stipulated three minutes.
