The controversial split decision between former WBA super champion “Pelenchin” Celestino Caballero and current WBA featherweight world champion Jonathan Barros on Saturday in Argentina has prompted the WBA to review the video of the fight. The end result was 114-112 and 116-111 for Barros from judges Raul Caiz and Danny Nelson, while Cesar Ramos had Caballero ahead 115-111. Barros was down twice in the fight. Gilberto Mendoza, WBA Executive vice president, said the fight will be reviewed by a panel of judges to compare the scores and outcome. “The WBA reviews, analyzes and evaluates all world championship fights to upgrade the qualifications of the officials. Barros-Caballero will be studied and discussed and we will make a ruling on the matter,” said Mendoza.
CABALLERO THUNDRES: REMATCH OR I RETIRE Rogelio Espino, manager of featherweight contender Celestino Cabellero, says “It was highway robbery”, after his boxer’s very controversial 12 round split decision loss to WBA champion Jonathan Victor Barros last Saturday in Mendoza, Argentina, hometown of the defending champion. The 35-year-old Panama-born Caballero scored two knockdowns against Barros and maintained the offensive throughout the fight. The judge Danny Nelson scored a ludicrous 116-111 in favor of the defending champion and the judge Sergio Caiz voted 114-112 also for the Argentine. Judge Cesar Ramos voted 115-111 for Caballero. Arriving in Panama City, a dejected Caballero declared: “It is a crime to rob a boxer after he’s given it his all, as I did. If I am not able to get an automatic rematch, I will simply hang up the gloves!” |
