At the World Boxing Council (WBC) convention that ended yesterday in Pattaya, Thailand, Salud filed a resolution protesting referee Larry O’Connell’s failure to deduct points from Masamori Tokuyama in his WBC superflyweight title defense against Gerry Peñalosa in Yokohama last September.

Salud’s protest was upheld by the WBC after Chuck Williams, one of three judges in the disputed bout, testified that Tokuyama repeatedly butted Peñalosa. Williams counted six butts that drew blood from the challenger. [DatePublished] => 2001-12-09 00:00:00 [ColumnID] => 135698 [Focus] => 0 [AuthorID] => 1804869 [AuthorName] => Joaquin M.
