FUENTES REQUESTS REVIEW OF HIS KO LOSS TO HIGA

Former world champion Moisés Fuentes arrived at THE WBC “Tuesday Coffee Conference” stirred  to request a thorough review of his first round loss to  WBC flyweight champion, Daigo Higa.

Higa successfully defended his title by knocking out the Mexican in the first round.
Unhappy and especially disappointed, Moises stressed  that in his opinion, the Referee’s  decision was a mistake,  as he claims he was fit and fine to continue. He says he got up at the count of eight and was ready to continue.

“I stand before you with my head high, I know that the main opportunities occur a few times in life and that’s why I prepared myself a hundred percent.

I knew that Higa is a very difficult champion, who has many skills and strength, but I trained for that. I accept that Higa hit me hard, I also know  I was able to continue.Today I am here to formalize my disagreement and to ask for a a review of the fight”

WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán says he will ask for the  report of both the Referee  and the Supervisor and that he himself will scrutinize this case.
