Al no hacer el peso exigido

“Bam Bam” gana la pelea a Abril pero no el título

Las tarjetas de los jueces de Las Vegas favorecieron al boxeador mexicoestadounidense, con un fallo dividido, pero no es campeón mundial ligero.

El boxeador, ex campeón mundial, Brandon “Bam Bam” Ríos venció en decisión dividida al cubano Richard Abril, en una pelea realizada la noche del sábado en el Mandalay Bay, de Las Vegas.

Los jueces decidieron que Ríos era el ganador del combate que definiría el monarca de las 135 libras de la Asociación Mundial de Boxeo. Aunque Ríos ganó 116-112,  115-113, y una tarjeta en contra 117-111, el título seguirá vacante porque el boxeador texano no pudo hacer el peso, el viernes pasado.

Tras el combate, Abril dijo: “Lo único que puedo decir de esta decisión es que fue infortunada. Yo gané esta pelea por al menos cuatro o cinco rounds”, y queda con un registro personal de 17-3-1, 8 KO.

Ríos por su parte, que ahora tiene una hoja de servicios con 30 triunfos y sin derrotas, aseguró que subirá a las 140 libras, y se atrevió a decir “Abril no vino a pelear”, y luego comentó: “Abril tiene un estilo raro, aguantó mucho. Pienso que el referee debió penalizarlo, pero no lo hizo. El no hacer el peso no me drenó, me siento bien físicamente. No fue mi mejor pelea esta noche, pero me complace mi demostración. 140 es a donde voy, 140 aquí voy”.
