GH3 Promotions CEO Vito Mielnicki comments on Jerry Odom's controversial disqualification PhilBoxing.com Tue, 13 Jan 2015 Nutley, NJ(January 12, 2015)--This past Friday night at the Madison Square Garden Theater, previously undefeated Super Middleweight Jerry Odom suffered his first professional defeat when he was controversially disqualified when he was ruled to have hit Andrew Hernandez while he was down following a knockdown. "Jerry dropped the kid and the referee was way out of position. The referee was in the opposite corner,""said GH3 Promotions CEO Vito Mielnicki. "We signed Hernandez before the fight so I am looking to do an immediate rematch as soon as mid February. As everyone saw, Jerry was well on his way to stopping him. Hernandez is a good prospect but Jerry got the best of him. I think Andrew knew that Jerry was breaking him down." "The referee was way out of position to make a call like that They could have given him five minutes to recover. Stuff like this is a black eye for the sport. All that being said, Andrew knows that if he wants to become something, he has to take the rematch. I am going to talk to the commission on Monday and see what my options are in terms of an appeal but making the rematch is the first order of business for us." "We know that Jerry is still the top Super Middleweight prospect out there and we will not let this terrible ruling effect our plans for Jerry going forward. GH3 Promotions features undefeated Middleweight Antoine Douglas, Super Middleweight's Jerry Odom & Derrick Webster, undefeated Featherweight Glenn Dezurn Jr., undefeated Super Bantamweight Adam Lopez as well as Jr. Middleweight John Thompson, Jr. Lightweight Wanzell Ellison, Featherweight Jorge Diaz, undefeated Super Bantamweight Qa'id Muhammad and Light Heavyweight Lavarn Harvell to the GH3 Promotions stable.  |
