Kermit Cintron To Appeal Decision Loss To Paul Williams |
|
|
Kermit Cintron is appealing the ruling made in his recent fight against Paul Williams. He wants to overturn the split decision on the grounds that the judges were incompetent and that the California doctor did not allow him to get up after he fell out of the ring in the fourth round.
The doctor who stopped the fight has claimed that Cintron said he could not continue while Cintron maintains that he wanted to fight but was not allowed to get up because the doctor told him he might have a "punctured lung". Its a case of Cintron's word against the doctors and the California athletic commission will hear the case on July 26.
Since this fight was a part of the fantasy league, it will remain in "Pending" status until the California Commission makes a final ruling on the appeal. Some of you may remember there was a similar appeal in the Nate Campbell vs Tim Bradley fight last season that was overruled. So this time we want to wait for a final decision.
