The co-promoter of fomer WBA light flyweight Interim champion Peter Maniatis has informed The Standard he is prepared to give Omari Kimweri a rematch within 90 days even as a committee created by WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman reviews a tape of the fight following a protest filed by Maniatis over the failure of
referee Malcom Bulner to call four knockdowns scored by Petalcorin and the fact that all three judges, besides Bulner were all Australians like Kimweri who is a Tanzanian who fights out of Melbourne.
We also informed Sulaiman that one of the judges was Bulner?s wife who along with one other Australian judge also scored the fight for Kimweri who won a hugely controversial split decision last Friday at the Melbourne Pavilion.
We also told Sulaiman that Kimweri?s manager was also the promoter of the WBC Silver title fight and picked the ring officials which is a violation of the Muhammad Ali Act.
The latest anomaly to come out of reviewing the tape is that in round 2 when Petalcorin was getting the better of Kimwewri the timekeeper, also an Australian ended the round after only 2 minutes and 24 seconds of the round.
Maniatis told us ?the outcome of the WBC review has a lot of people now supporting Randy and talking about him. He has now added a new fan base because fight people don?t like boxers to suffer due to officials. It's not good for the sport.?
The well-known, multi titled Australian promoter added, ?regardless of the outcome (of the WBC review) we will give Omari Kimweri a rematch back here in Australia before 90 days. Randy really wants the rematch and will train in the mountains for the rematch.?
