Chairman Lewis Allows WBO Official Selection For Guzman-Campbell!
The political skills of WBO VP and Supervisor John Duggan may have breached the gap between the organization and the Mississippi State Athletic Commission.
****************** has learned that the state and the WBO have agreed that the WBO can select either one or two officials for Saturday night’s Joan Guzman-Nate Campbell lightweight title bout in Biloxi (Showtime). Campbell’s WBO, WBA and IBF titles are on the line but this is a WBO mandatory bout.
Duggan, a Chicago area attorney and political operative, seems to have made peace between the stubborn MSAC Chairman Jon Lewis and WBO President Francisco “Paco” Valcarcel. As reported earlier today by ******************, the outspoken Lewis held out an olive branch which seems to have been accepted by the IBF's Marian Muhammad.
Meanwhile, a war of words continue to rage between Lewis and WBC leader Don Jose Sulaiman with the WBC promising to send in its own judges to sit at ringside and "officially" score the Timothy Bradley-Edner Cherry junior welterweight title bout.
Lewis said that he considers such an action a criminal act and that he will ask the state attorney general's office to record such activity for purposes of prosectuion.
