On December 19, Reymart Gaballo from the Philippines, won the interim bantamweight title of the World Boxing Council, at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, defeating Emmanuel RodrÃguez, from Puerto Rico by split decision.
After a formal appeal was received by the WBC, a committee of ring officials completed a thorough analysis and review of the match resulting in the order of free negotiations for an immediate rematch between Gaballo and RodrÃguez.
Meanwhile, WBC bantamweight champion Nordine Oubaali will defend his title in March with the winner to fight mandatory contender Nonito Donaire.
Well done by the WBC. Rodriguez “loss” was highway robbery
Justice finally. Rodriguez outboxed Raymart in every round. The Filipino is promoted Manny Pacquiao so the judges were bias.
