I know, because in 1976 he was competing at Flyweight, before moving up to an 'over-the-weight'
Flyweight at 115 lbs. in 1977.
Maybe the WBC needed to a fill a spot with a Panamanian...?
Yeah, makes no sense. I'd get bantam maybe, as super fly hadn't been formed yet.

February 1976
*Rigoberto Riasco {Panama} and *Philip Waruinge Nakayama {Japan} were slated to meet for
the 'vacant' WBC Super-Bantamweight Championship.
These two fighters were listed as 'Mandatory Challengers'.
The rest of the division was filled out as such;
#1.. Rafael Herrera {Mexico}
#2.. Dong-Kyun Kim {South Korea}
#3.. Nelson Cruz Tamariz {Dominican Republic}
#4.. Ric Quijano {Philippines}
#5.. Jose ------- {Brazil}
#6.. Jose Cervantes {Colombia}
#7.. Romeo Anaya {Mexico}
#8.. Santos Luis Rivera {Puerto Rico}
#9.. Alberto Davila {USA}
#10 Julio Hernandez {Nicaragua}
I love how #5 doesn't even have a last name.

It was Brazilian Featherweight Champion - Jose De Paula, with a record 24-1-1 {5 KO's}.
Ah, he was a good fighter. Gave Little Red a good fight.

I remember all of the talk about the shenanigans surrounding the decision in Rigoberto Riasco's bout in South Korea, all of which was called the "Riasco Fiasco."

That's a hilarious name for it, though "Riasco" is pronounced "Riohsco".

The South Korean bout of Rigoberto Riasco was news in Los Angeles because Larry Rozadilla, a Los Angeles-based ring official, was involved.
In regards to using the term of the "Riasco Fiasco," "Fiasco" had the same pronouncation as Riasco's last name.

Jose Sulaiman. "We have to hold boxing to the highest scrutiny. I will not tolerate any back-door Decisions.
The WBC has integrity, and we will not be influenced by anyone."
I just spit out my coffee reading that quote.

That is funny! Jose Sulaiman has a lot of gall. In fact, it is very difficult to think of another person in the sport of boxing who has less integrity than Suliaman.
