International Boxing Federation (IBF) president Marian Muhammad isn’t turning her back on Marty Elorde’s appeal for a rematch between miniflyweight champion Muhammad Rachman and Filipino challenger Benjie Sorolla. At least, not yet.


Last Dec. 23, Rachman scored a seventh round technical knockout over Sorolla at the Indoor Tennis Senayan Stadium in Jakarta. Australian referee John Wright stopped the bout after the Indonesian landed six unanswered blows. Elorde, watching at ringside, said Wright’s decision was premature and came too soon.

Wright stepped in as Rachman landed six unanswered blows and ended the Filipino’s gallant attempt to dethrone the Indonesian, making the third defense of the 105-pound crown he won two years ago.

Sorolla, 25, is dedicating the biggest bout of his eight-year pro career to his father Anano, a former amateur fighter who introduced him to the sport as a boy and died in 1993 of complications stemming from an infected tooth. His fondest wish is to win the world title for his late father.
