Fenech.
The great Australian world champion and Hall of Famer Jeff Fenech has promised to personally contact the World Boxing Council regarding the four knockdowns scored by former WBA Interim light flyweight champion Randy ?Razor? Petalcorin against Omari Kimweri in a clash for the vacant WBC Silver title last April 15 at the Melbourne Pavilionf.
Fenech told co-promoter Peter Maniatis he had watched the missed knockdowns and indicated he supports justice even it it was a visiting boxer like Petalcorin from the Philippines.
In a formal letter to WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman, Maniatis said ?Team Petalcorin is humbly protesting the missed four knockdowns in the fight which the referee (Malcolm Bulner) missed and if he did score (the knockdowns) would have altered the scorecards for a wide margin victory for Petalcorin and not a split decision loss.?
He asked that the decision be reversed and the decision awarded to Petalcorin.
The well-known Aussie promoter who was voted WBC Asia ?Promoter of the Year for 2013 and also 2014? and had promoted female WBC middleweight champion Wang Ya Nan in Melbourne in 2009 said ?I feel a strong connection to the WBC and that is why I advised Petalcorin to vacate his current WBA title to cross to the WBC family.?
Maniatis informed Sulaiman that he was ?not aware of the officials until a few days before the title fight? and that referee Bulner and all three judges were from Melbourne, Australia, the hometown of Omari Kimwerei? while Petalcorin was a visitor from General Santos City in the Philippines.
