MICHAEL ALDEGUER DOES THE RIGHT THING, OFFERS JIMENEZ REMATCH VS KING ARTHUR VILLANUEVA AFTER REFEREE?S BIZARRE CALL (FIGHT PHOTOS) By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Sun, 29 May 2016  ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer has done the right thing by offering Mexico?s Juan Ignacio Jimenez a rematch whenever he is ready, against King Arthur Villanueva who won the vacant WBO Asia Pacific bantamweight title with a bizarre decision made by referee Dan Nietes in the Donnie Nietes-Raul ?Rayito? Garcia WBO light flyweight undercard at St. La Salle Coliseum late Saturday in Bacolod City. Referee Nietes credited Villanueva with a 4th round knockout over Jimenez when the Mexican was out cold after a deadly clash of heads in the 4th round. Jimenez who had won his last three fights went after King Arthur from the opening bell and waded into Villanueva with both hands flailing. Jimenez wound up a flurry in the second round to drop Villanueva who moments later dropped Jimenez with a vicious right hand. Both fighters engaged each other in what looked like a waterfront brawl before Villanueva wobbled Jimenez with a solid punch that shook Jimenez. Villanueva went after Jimenez at the start of the 4th round and trapped him in the red corner and prepared to throw a flurry but instead their heads clashed, dropping Jimenez who was out cold and had to be revived by the ring doctor who used an oxygen mask to revive the badly hurt and concussed Mexican. In an inexplicable decision granting Villanueva a 4th round knockout that raised a howl of protest from the Jimenez camp, Aldeguer admitted it was a wrong decision and offered the Mexican a rematch when he?s ready. Aldeguer told The Standard, the rematch could be held sometime in November.
