Sulaiman is as much a scumbag as King, Arum and other promoters and organizations. He is a crook who is supposed to be nuetral, but has shown more than once that he isn't. I've got no respect for him whatsoever.

IBF Will Not Recognize Guzman-Campbell As Fight For Its Strap!

When Joan Guzman and Nate Campbell signed contracts for their bout on Showtime this Saturday night, they both thought that Campbell would be putting all three of his lightweight belts—WBO, WBA and IBF—on the line.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Now, ******************.com has learned, the ongoing battle between Jon Lewis and the Mississippi State Athletic Commission and the world governing bodies over selection of officials has become even more inflamed.

IBF leader Marian Muhammad has bluntly informed promoter Don King Promotions that this WBO mandatory title bout will not be recognized as an IBF 135-pound title match. This means Guzman can’t win the IBF strap and Cambell can’t lose it.

Lewis has completely barred the three organizations from having any input into selection of the referee and three judges for Guzman-Campbell and also told the WBC to take a hike regarding the Timothy Bradley-Edner Cherry title bout on the same card in Biloxi.

Don Jose Sulaiman’s proactive response is that the WBC will pay all costs and send in three “experienced officials” to judge Bradley-Cherry from ringside seats.

Showtime should have fun explaining why there are six judges for Bradley-Cherry. Maybe there should be two referees also.

An infuriated Paco Valcarcel, president of the WBO, sent a letter to Lewis informing him that the WBO will not permit or sanction any of its title bouts to take place in the state. Valcarcel did not withdraw WBO recognition from Guzman-Campbell.

This situation is a mess and, as usual, it’s the fighters who will suffer.

i don't think its a big deal. campbell probably wants to keep the strap so he can pursue other fights, but if guzman wins, he'd be recognized as the best lightweight imho.
