I swapped a few SMS's with Billy Hussein yesterday, and he said that he and Elias Naser (Vic's manager) had spoken to neTVision yesterday and they are now going to sell the fight to Australian audience.

Cant belive this fight ended in a draw, Very suspect judging.
Im no Vic fan or Z fan but Vic D should have won.

I think kicketts lose to Romeo Jakosalem will make him a better fighter, He looked so flat and drained.

Boxrec comment suggests hometowner. By the way, didn't Kickett win?

Reports say that Lance Revill, the referee was well out of his depth. It was his first fight outside of New Zealand, and maybe his last.

The results section on boxrec certainly says Kickett won...

Vic said right from the begining that he didn't want it to go to the judges... I guess now we know why...

I belive it was JV Tuazon vs. Rey Villar that i mistaken for the kickett + Romeo fight reslut, sorry for the stuff up. Also that internet feed (Of the fight)was like 64 -128k speed.

Strange, wasn't it? The Filipino judge gave Vic the decision, Perkins and the Thai judge must have been worried about getting out of the stadium alive.

No worries, mate. The commentary was probably in Tagalog.

Vic Darchinyan's promoter Gary Shaw will file a protest with the International Boxing Federation over the controversial drawn world title eliminator against Filipino Z Gorres.

But the Australian's next fight could still be for a world title.

The three judges were divided over the IBF super flyweight bout in Cebu City in the Philippines, with Filipino Jonathan Davis scoring it 114-112 to Darchinyan, Thai official Montol Suriyachand had Gorres ahead 113-112, while Australian arbiter Cec Perkins scored it a 113-113 draw.

Darchinyan (29-1-1, 23KOs) scored knockdowns in the first and ninth rounds, but was put down in the second by fellow southpaw Gorres (27-2-2, 15KOs).

The Darchinyan camp claimed New Zealand referee Lance Revill erred in disallowing two more knockdowns against Gorres.

The ring was pelted with bottles following the end of the fight and also at the end of the first round and during the second.

Darchinyan's trainer Billy Hussein was struck on the head by a plastic bottle after the fight finished, but said he was alright.

Shaw said he would file a formal protest with the IBF based on how some of the officials performed after the initial lot of debris was thrown into the ring.

He believed the crowd behaviour unsettled Revill and may also have affected both the Thai and Australian judges.

"The referee had never done a world title fight outside New Zealand and I think he felt the pressure of the hostile environment in the first round and it affected the way he officiated the next 11 rounds, missing two clear knockdowns," Shaw told AAP from Cebu City.

"I think it also affected the Thai judge who scored the 10th and 11th rounds (for Gorres) which were clearly Vic's rounds on the scorecards of the other officials, he was the dissenter.

"I don't know how the Australian judge could see the fight even. I think he may have been feeling the environment as well."

Some Filipino observers were also unimpressed with the officiating, believing the first round knockdown was a slip and that Gorres' cut was caused by a headbutt.

Shaw said he wasn't sure about whether there would be a rematch, as the winner of the fight was originally supposed to fight Russia's IBF super flyweight world champion Dimitri Kirilov.

However, a head cut for Gorres could delay any rematch.

"I have to speak to the IBF, I don't know what the rules and regulations are with a mandated rematch," Shaw said.

"Maybe the fact that Vic is ready to go and Z Gorres is hurt, he's got a cut and a pretty bruised face, then maybe they will allow us to fight Kirilov as an interim title fight.

"Then if we win, we would agree to fight Z Gorres right back."

Shaw said he rated his fighter's performance somewhere between a B and a B+.

"I think he had the opportunity to knock Gorres out down the stretch from the seventh to the 12th round, he didn't take advantage," Shaw said.

"He started slow in my book, he didn't come out firing away and he was too tentative in the early rounds and even in the late rounds about how many punches he threw."

On the undercard, Australian junior lightweight champion William Kickett improved his professional record to 9-0 (4KOs) with a unanimous points win over Filipino Romeo Jakosalem (5-3) (3KOs).

The fight is on youtube. Doesn't look like a robbery to me. And Vic D is chinny as hell since getting flattened Donaire. Amazing how a big loss like that can effect someone so much.

I watched the fight on youtube, How did you score it, as i had Vic by 3 rounds. Even the biased commentators thought he won.

God knows. Tonight (8 February) they are showing a New Zealand card from last August with the Betham/Chan fight. Showed the last fight Tutaki won (against Mene!). Is that what they mean by a bum-fight?
