Algieri tinanggalan ng WBO ng light welterweight belt

Russell Cadayona - Pang-masa

MANILA, Philippines – Pipiliting linawin ng kampo ni Chris Algieri ang ginawang pagbaba­kante ng World Boxing Organization (WBO) sa light welterweight title ng Ame­rican.

Idinahilan ng WBO sa kanilang 27th Annual Convention sa Las Vegas, Nevada ang paghahamon ni Algieri para sa WBO wel­terweight crown ni Man­ny Pacquiao.

“From what we just found out, Chris won’t be able to keep his title be­cause he’s going to be com­peting above the junior welterweight limit on November 22 against Man­ny Pacquiao,” wika ng promoter ni Algieri na si Artie Pelullo ng Banner Pro­motions.

“This was news to both myself and my partner Joe DeGuardia. I think Joe has plans to deal with this issue concerning Chris and WBO,” dagdag pa nito.

Ikinagulat din ni Joe De­Guardia, ang legal ad­vi­ser ni Algieri, ang natu­rang desisyon ng WBO na pinamamahalaan ni Francisco ‘Paco’ Valcarcel.

Sinabi ni DeGuardia na hindi makakaapekto sa hawak na WBO title ni Al­gieri ang paghahamon nito kay Pacquiao.

“Chris was going into this fight as the WBO ju­nior welterweight cham­pion and Manny as the wel­terweight cham­­pion, and they would be com­pe­ting for Pacquiao’s 147 pound title with the un­derstanding that this fight wouldn’t be of any con­sequence to Chris’ 140 pound title,” ani DeGuardia.

Hahamunin ni Algie­ri si Pacquiao para sa hawak nitong WBO welterweight crown sa catchweight na 144 pounds sa Nobyembre 22 sa The Venetian sa Macau, China.

Nakuha ni Algieri ang WBO light welterweight belt matapos talunin ang da­ting kampeong si Ruslan Provodnikov via split decision noong Hunyo.
