There seems to be some confusion as to the name of one of the judges of last night?s disgraceful calls by ring officials in New Jersey.
Boxrec.com is reporting under Paul Williams?s record that one judge is named Hilton Whitaker the third, yet it was announced on HBO that the judge?s name was Hilton Whitaker.
Are these the same people or two different ones with similar names ?
Whitaker scored bout 115-114 Williams
8CountNews.com is currently investigating and attempting to confirm this morning if in fact it was Hilton Whitaker III , due to the fact that a Hilton Whitaker III is listed on the IBO website as President of the USBO sanctioning body.
The Muhammad Ali Boxing reform act clearly states
? 6308. Conflicts of interest
(a) Regulatory personnel
No member or employee of a boxing commission, no person who administers or enforces State boxing laws, and no member of the Association of Boxing Commissions may belong to, contract with, or receive any compensation from, any person who sanctions, arranges, or promotes professional boxing matches or who otherwise has a financial interest in an active boxer currently registered with a boxer registry. For purposes of this section, the term ?compensation? does not include funds held in escrow for payment to another person in connection with a professional boxing match. The prohibition set forth in this section shall not apply to any contract entered into, or any reasonable compensation received, by a boxing commission to supervise a professional boxing match in another State as described in section 6303 of this title.
8CountNews will continue to track down this issue and may not be able to further report until commission offices open tomorrow morning.
