Most Valuable Promotions has formally petitioned the WBA for an immediate rematch between Lucas Bahdi and Floyd Schofield III following their October 10 bout in Chicago. Schofield initially secured the vacant WBA lightweight world championship via unanimous decision with scores of 116-110, 115-111, and 119-108. However, MVP argues that uncalled knockdowns cost Bahdi a majority decision victory.
MVP submitted video evidence and documentation to the WBA, blaming the referee for missed calls that prevented mandatory 10-8 rounds. The sanctioning body has yet to issue a ruling on the appeal, and the article notes that MVP did not publicly specify which rounds contained the disputed incidents.
