Comments Thread For: WBO Denies Smith's Request For Abraham Rematch

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Paco Valcárcel, the WBO’s President, took to Twitter this evening to announce that the organization has decided not to sanction an immediate rematch between their 160lb title-holder Arthur Abraham and Britain’s Paul Smith.

Abraham defeated Smith in Germany last month by scores of 117-111 (twice) and 119-109, from Waleska Roldan, Zoltan Enyedi and Fernando Laguna respectively. The third card generated a lot of flack, with some pundits and fans calling for an immediate rematch. The WBO have instead opted to keep Smith in their Top Five, which keeps him in the title mix. They also condemned Laguna’s lopsided card.

Good because he didn't deserve it. He should also get fined for being such a crybaby. Fine him $500,000 just for wasting the commission's time.

There was no way they were gonna order a rematch. The scoring was awful but Abraham has a strong case for winning the fight.

There have been far worse decisions

Bit of a long shot wasn't it as Abraham winning was not the offense it was the judges biased widescoring and especially that lunatic who scored it 119 - 109 that needs to be black balled from judging anything to do with boxing.

WBO should order Gilberto Ramirez vs James DeGale winner gets a title shot with Abraham in 2015
