"First of all I must clarify that the postponement of the announcement of this decision is due to the intervention of lawyers from both fighters, Beibut Shumenov and Gabriel Campillo, communications across a lot about different situations that occurred in the development of combat," said Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, executive vice president of international body. 'Unfortunately the WBA could not intervene in the selection of a rematch in Campillo v. Shumenov held on January 29 in Las Vegas. The Ali Act takes precedence over our rules and this undermines the neutrality of the decision. In this case both fighters are of different origin to the judges but one of them resides in Nevada. " Concerned about the impact that the announcement may cause, the manager said: "I hope the Spanish fans and our champion Gabriel Campillo understand this situation out of control of our Association. In their previous battles, Campillo and their representatives congratulated us for having just had a failure in the fighting in Argentina and Kazakhstan. With regard to the above situations, Mendoza argued. "On both occasions it was possible to appoint all the staff under the policy of neutrality. I take this opportunity for the world to support us and allow the U.S. Senate to open our eyes to this situation because we do nothing to defend the interests of foreign boxers who fight in the territory of the United States of America. " Aware of the importance of the amateur, and of course, respect it deserves, Mendoza said: "I have received many e-mails from Spanish fans to whom I appreciate your patience and hope they understand that we have made every effort to prevail Gabriel Campillo rights. " "Given that we can not pass over the result and local regulations. The world championship committee decided to appoint as official challenger Gabriel Campillo more and thus allow in the near future to fight for the title he held with pride and honor, "he concluded.
I had been following along, and figured the outcome would be that we'll see Shumenov-Uzelkov next with the winner facing Campillo. Then I saw that Chris Henry-Hugo Garay was also a WBA title eliminator, so who knows what the exact order's going to be. It is the WBA we're dealing with here, and they're the masters of backlogging mandatories. Either way, Campillo shouldn't be too far away from a title shot, which would be great considering he got robbed badly in the rematch vs Shumenov.
I saw how Shumenov was awarded WBA fighter of the month after he was gifted his title. Right then and there it was obvious that Campillo was getting raped
Campillo should of never given him a rematch unless it was in the contract. I knew this was going to happen. I finally win and I walk away and fight some stiffs for a while. Campillo could lose to his next opponent and that is the end of his title run. In the end, Shumenov will pay dearly. Then again, it is most likely his promoter running with the title not Shumenov.
